Colombo Robin

Me too but the wife seems uninterested

A lot of doom and gloom in here already. For some reason i think Nige will have the lads fired up today to prove the doubters wrong. 3 points and things will look very different

My father in law just walked in on me attempting this. Impressed he was not

I never even knew that was a thing. Just googled it. Sounds painful! I'd lay off the gurners for a bit If it helps i feel a gout attack building. If we lose tonight things could get very ugly!

Christ what a dumb comparison. Im done with this thread. Well done to those who made a great gesture today and i wish the fella well

Im guessing the secretiveness was so it came as a nice surprise to his loved ones. Fair play to those who put it together

Is that a reference to anything or anyone of significance? I don't get it

Any pics?

Not sure what im more excited about,the match or finally knowing what the display is My money is on @James being a Just Stop Oil Section 82 infiltrator.

This one made i laugh. Coz in other countries people wouldnt ask the same question

Just a harmless red and white swastika

See thats where it gets a bit odd. That the organisers are worried people would opt out if they knew what it was beforehand.

Find it odd that if you ask people to be part of a message/image it's deemed unreasonable for those participants to ask what the message exactly is beforehand. Seems pretty basic stuff to me. Im intrigued to know what it is now and why it had to be kept so secret. Hope it goes well nonetheless

Hi Akira, Comparing ourselves to others around us is something we all do and can indeed lead to bad feelings but keep in mind that your job and earnings will never define you as a person. The relationships you have with those close to you is a much better measure of who you are and this IS something within your control. Alain de Botton wrote a great book called Status Anxiety exploring exactly this. There's a documentary also that i think is on youtube. I found it quite helpful when frustrated with injustices i saw around me, where some real a**holes seemed to have everything and some really good people struggling financially. Like you said it can lead to feelings of worthlessness, often for completely undeserving people. As i grew older, met more people and worked in a number of different countries and contexts i came to the conclusion that the idea of this supposed meritocracy in which we live in is in many many cases a bit of a con to put it politely. But also, and more importantly, materialistically there are haves and have nots, but excluding extreme poverty, both sides are just as prone to depression and mental health issues as each other. Sounds cliche but having a flash car really doesnt make someone happy. People make people happy I guess my point is this, if you find yourself comparing yourself to others focus on the connections you have with people around you which is much more meaningful than the amount of stuff you own. Your post really resonated with me and it was great that you shared it. Happy to chat anytime.

Real shame that. If ever a game was set for some stokesy bazball fireworks. Think he was just about to really stick his foot down

I see it doable only if the weather allows play on Sunday. Different weather apps saying different things

I think heel needs to be behind the line. But then im thinking at the point it is touching the floor or any part of the heel? Anyone?

Thinking winning this is an impossible task given the forecast. Gonna have to go full 50/50 mode today to have any chance and even then very unlikely

Interesting stat. Well....thats it then. Turning telly off

Any links to the goals?

Worked out well tho. Forecast better for tomorrow!

Got ur days confused, Tom?

Seems a bit like the cricket equivolent of hiding behind a GK

Milk the singles, bring the fielders in, hit the boundries, push the fielders out, and repeat. Easy

Perfectly scripted for some bazball now. Prob is Australia seem to have now worked out how to neutralise it
