I asked for evidence not threats. To make it clear, I didn’t mean to compare you to an NRA supporter, but am comparing your phrase (thoughts and prayers) to what NRA/firearms supporters in USA are said to often say after high school shootings. I’ve obviously upset you with my comments (which I...

And sorry, one last criticism then I’ll leave you alone. Your “thoughts and prayers” comment in your original post sounds uncannily like what an american NRA-supporting gun owner would say after a high school shooting. I mean, that’s the actual expression they always come out with isn’t it?

I’m sorry, I’m really trying not to pick a fight with you, but am failing so apologise in advance. You’ve given me a sarcastic “fantastic idea” response to my post about stopping burning fossil fuels, and then suggested moving forward in the discussion. I’ve done that, with an evidence-based...

Yes maybe I'm reading too much into it, or perhaps what Washie said is right. Were Webster and Igor injured?

Ok. Well we could start by building a lot of onshore wind turbines which is the cheapest form of electricity generation available according to all the sources I've seen. Here's an example which says the cost in 2022 (and remember renewables are getting better and cheaper all the time) was 52%...

That's how I saw it. Admittedly it's a friendly and there's going to be a few experiments but it was noticeable that Hurzeler seems prepared to try players in new positions. Baleba was definitely playing CB as was Weir (think he's normally a midfielder?), and Moran, Buonanotte and Ayari looked...

How about we stop burning fossil fuels?

He's made a lot (at least 10 I think) and I haven't heard them all but think The Mande Variations is his best known. There's also one with Ali Farka Toure which is probably a good place to start.

Julian Jessop, "IEA Economics Fellow" according to his twitter account. I can't claim to know everything about the IEA but have heard them criticised numerous times for not revealing who funds them or being open/transparent. Wikipedia says the IEA "published climate change denial material...

120 off 53 balls 😟 Michael Pepper would make a tasty opening partnership with Phil Salt.

Sussex 34-3 😟. Probably a good toss to win to be fair, it's pretty overcast. No idea who Ian Holland is but he's ripping us apart at the moment.

Agreed about public utilities, although seeing how the government run the NHS doesn't fill me with hope re the water companies being publicly owned. We need to elect a competent government for that plan to work. As for illegal migration what we've tried unsuccessfully to deal with so far has...

Good book

A significant area of Britain was once covered in temperate rainforest. Most of it was destroyed and is now grass, grazed by sheep. We ruined our rainforest centuries/decades ago (I can look the dates up if you want) but now there's no point us trying to do anything about climate change because...

What a superb post which summarises how I feel and perhaps lots of others feel. For what it's worth I think spraying paint on Stonehenge or whatever they've done is a pretty pointless exercise and I agree with others that more targeted protests are needed. However I'm sick and tired of the lack...

Yes fair enough. Farbrace seems to rate him as a T20 player though. Agreed he hasn't shown much so far this season but Farbrace must think he can succeed in T20.

I know he hasn't got any runs so far so this season, but Farbrace, who seems to be a very decent coach, must have seen something in him. Hopefully he'll come.good.

Well that was pretty good. I didn't realise what a good T20 bowler James Coles is. A bit Yardy-like.

Agreed the batting line up looks very light. We're playing only 5 specialist batsmen and that includes Carter (a wicketkeeper), Hudson-Prentice who I thought was an all-rounder, and Coles who bowled four overs today. Too many bowlers, perhaps because we haven't got anyone else decent enough as a...

Is it ok to change my mind about capital punishment?
