Really doesn't bother me, I hate cricket. Just surprised there isn't a way to make it work. I'm hoping we're allowed to play football by September/October for the new season, but if they can't even play cricket then how does a contact sport work? It doesn't bode well.
That statement is such an open goal but i will behave
. In simple terms, no it is not really practical if the ball itself is a problem.

Someone telling me a score from social golf doesn’t usually register with me (I just smile and say ‘well done’ or ‘ouch’ depending on the tone they used etc) but I admit I’d be a bit lost if folks went round giving me their gross score for a comp.
No way I can remember what everyone’s handicap is

Exactly. Instead of saying 3 under nett, 67 nett or 39points will do. ?

Is it me or does anyone find the prospect of Pakistan touring when ten players have tested positive already https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/53149897 rather disconcerting

Drawing an anatomically correct penis and balls on Mrs Colch's leg with spray on sun-cream when she fell asleep in a chair in the garden today and it not showing up in the sunburn on her legs.

You did that to a woman who bought you a bottle of Laphroaig? You don't deserve it, send it to me.

The NASCAR noose incident, widely touted as further evidence of racism, turning out to be no such thing. And the irritation is the fact that has been widely reported as a dreadful racial slur BEFORE any investigation had taken place. Now that has taken place, it would appear that it is the garage door pull rope, and has been that way since late 2019...

I would love to, but unfortunately it seems to have evaporated, as there's none left in the bottle. Damn this hot weather we're having.

Doing an endurance race on Gran Turismo on the PlayStation and near the end, one of the computer cars suddenly puts in two laps 10 seconds faster than anything I could possibly do to catch me and pass me with five minutes left. It then slows down to normal speed and stays just in front for the rest of the race. No other car does better than a 1:33 round Monza and this thing does two 1:23s. It went past me down the main straight like I was standing still.

I didn't read the details of that story, but when I first heard they'd found a noose I did think to myself "isn't that just a bit of a rope?". Strange.
Facebook posts from friends or relatives. More accurately, the re-posts, shares etc of posts that are borderline racist, at best promote incredibly stupid comments. I had a spell of replying and correcting ignorance but the avalanche of these has become too great. The recent protests have brought the worst out of a number or people. Time to do some unfollowing.

I'm seeing the same, the random irritation for me is that on here, if anything is seen right or wrongly as even remotely racist, they've been getting labelled as far right or right wing.
The out and out racist posts I've seen on Facebook are from those who have also been posting nasty comments about the Tories and are massive Corbyn fans.
Just thought it was a touch ironic ?
I clearly have more right wing relatives than left
. Ignorance works both ways, daft to think otherwise. Not all things have been race related but it has definitely showed that being at home with little to do has not been good for a lot of people. It has amplified tucked away beliefs, on all sides of the spectrum. The method of FB feeding more news and posts that are similar to someone's own views, creating a perfect echo chamber, just add to the justification as well.

Getting a couple of emails from Gov.UK - it's how Driving instructors are going to fi d out when we can go back to work....
Excitedly opening them, half hoping to have some useful news to find it's just notification of statistics for tests between April '19 and March '20....as if anyone actually cares about that at the moment....

Yes, in a way it's been refreshing as it's rooted out the people I need to steer well clear of in the future ?

That's a strange one. Anti-black comments or anti-semitic?
