  1. Aye but it's obviously a cunt's trick and they know that. Really bothers me when they try to take advantage of the elderly like this.

  2. Nothing matters more to the real left than their precious fuckin principles though. He’d rather have his teeth pulled out with pliers than go against what he believes in. The EU stops the march to true socialism. There was a middle way but he’s probably out of time for it now, heard a couple of people mention it. Earlier this year Corbyn could have suggested a referendum on whether to accept the inevitable dogs dinner currently being negotiated by D Raab & the dickheads or just to crash straight out. Either way we’ll be out but there would be a chance of some Vaseline being applied beforehand. I think a lot of Europhile MPs might have gone for that and it may have forced a GE.

  3. Different topic, but I came across this post in the Guardian by a commenter who was formerly a LibDem member - obviously I agree with the sentiments: Full disclosure - I was a Lib Dem member for 29 years. I helped set up the SDP and worked on the merger with the Liberals. I can say with a degree of certainty but with a heavy heart that there is no room left in British politics for the Lib Dems and it is all their own fault. I left the Lib Dems on the day the Coalition Agreement was signed and from that point on the Lib Dems were finished. Our special sauce was the "none of the above vote". The minute we were in bed with the Tories we were no longer the radical free thinkers of the Kennedy era. We were just a temporary brake on a Tory government which we should never have trusted. Nick Clegg has a great deal to answer for. The current Lib Dem brand of reasonableness is out of tune with the times. Corporatism and right wing nationalism requires more radical opposition and sensible moderation does not cut any ice. Only the Labour Party can get this country out of the mess it is in. In some respects they are doing a good job of changing the agenda away from austerity and pandering to big business. In others they are hamstrung by a leader more interested in Gaza than Gateshead. There is no room for the Lib Dems or any cobbled together centre party - especially one run by Chuka Ummuna and Tony Blair.

  6. He used to chuck a golf ball at a water tank. When it bounced off at an angle he used to hit it with a stump. I imagine most of us would struggle to edge it one time out of 5. And aye, I really like Duncan Hamilton and the Larwood book is great. After Larwood moved to Australia he actually became good friends with Jack Fingleton who was a bit of an enemy of Bradman's. They played in the same Aussie team but didn't get on. There was a bit of a NSW / Victoria, Protestant / Catholic split apparently. Fingleton (along with Bill O'Reilly, another former player who was on Fingleton's side of the dressing room schism) later became a journalist. They both covered the Ashes series in '48 and were both apparently pissing themselves laughing when Bradman was dismissed for nought in his final innings. Charles Williams Bradman biography is a good one.

  8. It was Mark Taylor. He declared overnight when he was on 334, which equalled Bradman's record. But it wasn't the world record score for a test innings, it was (at that time) the record for an Australian. It was the world record when Bradman scored it but Wally Hammond beat it not long afterwards before Len Hutton's famous 364, which Garfield Sobers eventually went past about 20 years later. Lara beat that with his 375 before Matthew Hayden beat it. Lara then set the current record with 400 not out against England (same opposition and ground as the previous record).

  9. Brilliant way to end a test career. Think it shows how his heads not been completely right for a while.

  10. I disagree on the basis that another different umpire (who is a bit of a bellend and thinks he's a celebrity) overstepping the mark with Nick Kyrgios doesn't make this sexist in the slightest. She's a wonderful tennis player but she's behaved like a spoilt brat. She's also one of those boring bastards who seems to think she's the only person who's ever had a kid.

  12. So 17.6% in the end. First election since they let in 160k asylum seekers, more than any other EU country. Tbh, that doesn't seem like such a big deal to me but i guess Sweden is a smaller country, so proportionally it's a bigger issue. The consistency of these far right gains in Europe should be telling us something, and it continues to be dismaying that the left and centre refuse to answer it with anything other than lipservice.

  13. As far as I can tell, it only impacts the qualifying group you go into, and not by much. It feels rather pointless given that the European Championships have expanded to the point whereby every European nation now qualifies with the exception of San Marino and Scotland.
