Silvio Dante

I can’t see how much they are - Ticketmaster etc not advertising. I know that he was really making people pay through the nose for the arena leg of the tour though - see below for what I’d call a standard seat. Cant imagine he’s that hard up!

Just seen Conway has signed for Southern Brave in the hundred. Does that affect his Somerset availability?

Not a coup then Tbf I’ve never been a fan of Reg. But I do pity anyone going to see him now hoping to see the great vocalist of the “Your Song” era. As the clip below from his latest live performance confirms, he appears to have turned into Vic Reeves’ club singer:

Really? Reg has been hawking himself around on “last chance” tours for years and is currently doing the “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour which is absolutely, positively the last hurrah. I’d argue anyone who wanted to see him has - he’s been playing smaller venues than Ashton as the people who tick him off their bucket list get all the smaller. Its not a coup if the guy plays consistently and at smaller venues.

For those of you wondering what Robinson said, they’re attached to this tweet: https://twitter.com/dafrankland/status/1400136689096572934?s=21 (Haven’t put the embedded tweet in case people get offended) The tweets carry a relatively broad spectrum here. There are poor taste jokes, low level racism, sexism and a bit of islampaphobia. I do go with the POV that you shouldn’t be hung based on what you did as a teenager. The problem is, and this is what Dowden and Johnson miss, is that we know of the tweets. We also know OR was sacked by Yorkshire. What the ECB are now doing is due diligence as to what else is out there with those two factors in mind with OR suspended pending the outcome and that seems a very sensible move. If this is what there ends up being, I think a suspension over a short term is appropriate. But for people to call the suspension pending results too heavy handed is pretty silly.

That was it - was driving at the time so had to do it from rough memory. The payoff line was however class

Anyone hear the Simon Mann/Vaughan exchange? Bracey had just taken his first test catch, which Mann praised him for - exchange went something like this: MV: Unlike you to praise someone from that side of the city. For those that don’t know, James Bracey is a big Bristol Rovers fan. Allegedly, he’s a real anorak about lower league football SM: Well he’d have to be supporting them

Tbf I think most of it’s on a bike but at least a HM of running on the first one!

I’ll look to get it in once we know fixtures. And supposed to be doing it, yep. However booked for a night out with the wife on Friday now we can lose the kids and not sure exactly what state I’ll be in Saturday afternoon!

It’d be fitting if all of us in the group, when restrictions properly ease, to do a memorial run. Pace irrelevant, time irrelevant. Just all get together, do 10k (I’m thinking start and finish at AG) and toast him for bringing it together. I get huge satisfaction from seeing what Tommy, Julian, Phil, Alex etc are doing and that’s down to OTIK. If all goes to plan in the roadmap, one week before season starts provisionally?

Nope, still going! Project Run Every Day 2021 is still in effect 117 days in. Averaging out at 11-12k a day. Legs are murder but once you’ve started…

Always nice when people achieve their ambitions.

RB now paying dividends with Ash. “If you don’t laugh you’d cry and when you cry you laugh”

Wimbledon 2-1!!!

Nope. Up until then they’d been the most mediocre team in English football - only ever being in the middle two divisions in about 80 years Now they’ve moved from being mediocre to shit. And it’s glorious.

And now Salford are a future quiz answer. They’re the shortest reigning champions of any English trophy, at less than 24 hours.

The 70’s called. They’ve just asked for their joke back.

****ing hell. He could literally see Ashton Gate from his vantage point when he thought that. Its like crapping your pants next to the Chanel factory and thinking “yeah, I could be the best smelling thing around here”

Air Jordanian Fraud?

I believe at Sunderland LJs one signing has been Winchester from FGR, who he had at Oldham - so clearly his decision. What I’m wondering is whether he will keep control of transfer policy. This may clarify the LJ/MA debate..

Few thoughts: - The changed dimensions to account for physicality is an interesting debate. What stuck out to me last night was not the technique being poorer as it wasn’t (The first and third goal were as good as the men have scored), but that both teams struggled to clear the ball because the purchase they got on clearances wasn’t good enough. That meant a lot of scrambling and less chance to use the technique! - Salmon. She’s a bit good. IIRC we had Lauren Hemp who went to Man City and I don’t believe has kicked on, so hoping that ES sees that and stays with City, if they stay up - A thorny issue, but the team are much improved form wise under Beard. The logical thing to do would be to try and secure him full time, but disposing of Oxtoby on Mat Leave is a very difficult scenario to manage.., All in all, a good way to spend a Monday night - entertaining, good goals, and a city win.

Why does in all the press interviews he look like he’s being held hostage in Downtown Kabul? Are they acclimatising him?
