Huge @julieannegenter.greens.org.nz areas: Minnesota-born New Zealand Greens MP who has cycled to the hospital for not one but two births, if I remember correctly

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

I think US is living room while Cth English is lounge, with some overlap in usage?

I would also never say "lounge room", just "the lounge", but that might reflect my NZ rather than Aus origins

Night aerial shot of the aftermath of the fire showing a destroyed historic building that immediately abuts the large Glasgow Central station (behind), that appears to have been spared.

This photo clearly shows both how devastating the fire was, and how close to total disaster it was for Glasgow Central station.

People think the MoW was just about pouring concrete but it was also a design, architecture and computer science bureaucracy with a level of technical knowledge and planning expertise that has never been matched by the family name contracting companies who acquired the state assets.

The only rational explanation here is that Tony Abbot is about to become the Prime Minister. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmPV...

I too offer this specific compromise, for Australia

Normally I'm a "to the bitter end" sort of sports fan but it's 12:30am here in Perth and I need to be up at 7. I'd lose every wink of sleep if we had a chance to win, but safe to say even the miraculous isn't about to happen here. Bummed by this match but chuffed we got much further than I expected

Oh well. This is turning into a familiar feeling

No luck this time. If we somehow pull this off it’s going to have to be off somebody else’s bat now

Well, stroke of luck in the first over, Dube giving Allen a life

Nearly 11:30pm. But I need to be up by 7 tomorrow. This is a bit brutal…

Good lord what a bludgeoning. Going to need someone to stand up and play a knock even greater than Finn Allen’s in the semi if we are to have a hope here

Holy shit that Ravindra catch!

Incredible over by Neesham and what a catch by Ravindra!

Worked for us in the semi! Chasing seeme to be super popular now, I think only one or two times in the latest BBL season did toss winners bat first

Another one! But probably too little, too late. This is going to be a formidable total

Nope!

This is, erm, not great

God I’d love to see one of them try to catch a perfectly angled six and get sconed

Another couple of wickets would be lovely right about now!

FINALLY

Good lord was Abhishek destructive

Gonna pass 300 at this rate

Keep waiting for that stupid sponsored car near the sideline to get a six straight through the windscreen

Reckon we are toast already. Some appalling bowling; the inexcusable number of wides suggests the team has cracked under pressure before the powerplay is even over

Lockie Ferguson what are you DOING

We’ve won one thing at least: the toss

By god am I nervous. Here we gooooooooo

It remains so weird to me how North American PT has not fully recovered back to pre-pandemic ridership while even down here in similarly car-centric cities we're back on pre-pandemic trends upwards
