Yep. Can't help feeling that Ali would be better ahead of both Buttler and Stokes unless they needed to set a target or chase quickly . Free the big hitters to have a good dip later on.

Funnily enough I paused it myself a couple of times and did likewise

Congratulations to her. I couldn't do it.

Tremendous rain fall today. Downed a couple of saturated geese

Great performance in the end.

Absolutely bang on. Been saying it for years, why the hell do we have some opera diva or some tedious group fannying around with the fans' anthem. A fucking disgrace. Just give us a proper military band and let the fans do the rest. FA NOBS

He played last year and isn't doing so anymore, therefore there is a spot available. He may not have had it set in stone but it was still a place in the team that needed filling. Not interested in discussing Taylor's selection merits as it's irrelevant. But you knew this though, so what do you think think about playing Buttler and Bairstow?

A question, if there is need to fill Taylor's spot and number three is not set in stone, is it not possible to play both Buttler and Bairstow? The former recently had a rough time in test cricket, but he's also shown some ability.

I enjoy fishing, but as you say carp fishing puzzles me. Costs a fortune too. And I'm certainly not more tolerant of the fuckers when they block the bank up with their bivvies etc.

No patience but you're getting better at fishing? Impressive!

Sam rated him. whether he's going to be a good manager maybe a bit soon to tell. I reckon most managers would admit to getting better with experience. Agree that Brown et al have more, but equally in our position, it's going to be a bit of a gamble whoever is appointed. Subbed, with NM as number two is more favourable for me, but that's not going to happen.

Fighting back. Life in this yet.

MacDonald did well working with Sam.

Will be over in three days at this rate

Had a monumental thunderstorm last year. Worst I can remember. Nature takes no shit.

True enough, missed out "nearly". Ukraine won't win as the Russians won't allow it.

Not great today.

It's going to be hot come the end of the month and a balmy summer too.

As a royal family,yes. But the lads themselves aren't responsible for that, as the saying goes you can't choose your family. All they can do is make something of themselves, and they seem to be doing that.

Not going to argue with Malc, he was probably there.

Chap came to check my house alarm yesterday. He's from Wolverhampton originally, now lives here and is a bit of a united fan. Took his lad to OT, amd the kid turned round to him and said "I'm not enjoying this, want to go to the macron, it's better!" Made me smile big time. Still hope out there

Why get bothered by the fact they are born into a particular family. Which ever nation you look at there will be families with money, power and influence. The princes or whoever can do nothing about their heritage, but can only seek to make something of their lives. I doubt it's all sweetness and light either, a lack of freedom to live what we would call a normal life must have its drawbacks. Yes money and title may bring them lots that most others could only dream about, but so what. Respecting them for the people they actually are is all that matters, and you don't have to bow or doff your cap to do that. On the other hand if they're cunts then, in this day and age particularly, they'd be on the road to fucking things up for the family big time.

Seeing as Australia won the Eurovision, I'll have them, they're in form.

Should still get a draw. Weather forecast for tomorrow is shite.
