My thoughts go to the management and staff of the Perth Stadium.

Three days worth of refunds, loss of income from catering and bar sales.

All the casual staff serving food and drink and security staff losing three days pay.

You'd think their cricket team would be more considerate!

Bring back Boycott.

All those last three wicket deliveries were well outside off stump and could have been left.

So, how quickly will those vacancies be filled?

I continue to be amazed how Trump can pivot from calling a journalist "Piggy" via calling for the execution of Democract politicians through to surrendering a European democracy to oppressive invaders in the matter of 72hrs without any Senate censor.

Impeachment absolutely urgent and vital.

Funny how so many "associates" of Farage are tainted by scandal.

So far he's walking on water above it all.

Just waiting to see someone can break the surface tension with a political detergent and watch him drown along with his "mates".

As I posted earlier.

Trump's forgotten about it.

Don't remind him.

What's Trump's going rate for a pardon these days?

Crypto or Cash?

I got mystified by that decision too.

Main speciality is road cycling commentary on Discovery. Tour defiance, La Vuelta etc.

Also specialises in off-site commentary. He is in a UK studio as are others such as Evony Rainford-Brent.

I also have a family member addicted to gambling at Grosvenor Casino so it's painful to have their name thrust in my face each time they throw to a commercial break.

No third umpire audio.

I've watched enough cricket to know what they say, but for newbies not so helpful.

First impressions of TNT coverage:

No third umpire audio.

Assaulted by drink retailer, fast food and gambling adverts. None of which of interest to me.

Familiar sound of cycling commentator voice and style.

Don't miss Atherton and Hussain opinions.

Thanks for the question, revisiting all now...

In what situation does the US Coastguard have to make moral judgements of this nature?

Semantics.

You cannot hide their meaning by fiddling with semantics.

They have the ability, we already have the NHS app, HMRC app working successfully.

Get developing now.

I no longer use X.

GOV.UK must launch their own social media to communicate with UK population. It's vital.

I'd happily allow a GOV.UK app to sit on my phone with notifications to receive such.

Perhaps along with Digital ID?

Cunning plan?

Invite owners to come forward to claim...

...then prosecute.

I find that a simple new printer costs as little as a set of inks.

They make their money on the refill cartridges not the machines.

Then I economise by refilling the cartridges myself.

I'm not sure if I'm an owl or a lark, I routinely wake between 1 and 2am so will be grateful for the entertainment.

Usually the family find housework completed and meals prepared.

They will have to waitπŸ˜‰πŸ€£

Back along a "redacted" document was released in Word and with one click all the black redactions were removed.

Considering the level of incompetence shown by the DOJ in other matters here's hoping...

20.11.2025 08:59 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

So we have to wait 30 days for "the DOJ to create a searchable database"?

Inferring they are scrutinising them line by line before release.

Hope they have enough black ink for all the redactions...

That's the same as any conspiracy theory.

You cannot prove the non-existence of a "thing".

CDC has to prove it does, and they haven't,

Izzy fan here.

Please to see her get her moment.

Still young, still has heaps to learn.

I still affectionately say "Six or Out" each time she faces a ball!

Wish her well for this moment.

That didn't happen.

Senate rubber stamped it without discussion.

No wonder he looked troubled after.
