No, no, give it to me as I'm opening up an orphanage in Nigeria soon and I could put this money to good use ....

Shrops u14s lost to Northants last Sunday. Staffs this Sunday will also be tough, as they're always strong. But player development always takes precedence over wining at all costs in Shropshire County aged group cricket, so we play on.

My dad is 97 in August (ex RAF) and still drives. But only from Saltdean to Asda (Marina & back) to do his weekly shop every Saturday morning. For the rest of his travel he used busses. Earlier this month his car was due its MOT and for a couple of years now he's been saying if it needs...

I played Tuesday with a 3.30 tee. Could only manage 9, heat exhaustion. Been trying to get to grips with a shotscope x5. Anyone else use one?

Yeah, yeah, it's not fair! I'm 64 and disappointed that my experience now counts for nothing. I suppose I could put this thread on ignore. Now, where are my pipe and slippers ...

Genuine question, do these modern warfare drones return to base / get salvaged for re-use or are their missions one-way kamikaze?

Got a golf ball retriever and cleaning cloth from Temu for Fathers day presents - not used either in the field yet. I do try to make a point of avoiding anything "made in China" but on price alone it's getting harder. Bought 2 DFS sofas in Feb - made / built to order and shipped from China - I...

AW ? Astrid Wett or Anne Widdicombe? I could feel the difference ...

Where's the fun it that?

Got another one this morning !!! This time the voice said: "Hi, Sam here from British Gas. Our energy adviser would like to speak with you." The voice was exactly the same tone / accent as the one the other day [and the name - Sam]. I said "Ok, just before we go on, to confirm you're a real...

Shrops u14 boys trounced Worcestershire at Stourbridge CC on Sunday. We lost the toss and were invited to bat and put on a competitive 266/7 in 45. The reply never got near the asking rate and the pears were bowled out for 179. Vikram Solanki was at the game watching his lad play .... Next...

Absolutely not a recording. It was trying to interact in a conversation with me. But got easily stumped with a simple question, definitely not a recording ....

I've just has a voice AI scam / spam call on my mobile .... Really strange and I didn't immediately twig. Male voice with a bland English accent. Basically trying to "sell" me a medi-sense alert device. It sounded just like a bloke on his first day reading from a crib-sheet. He said "free item...

No Drugs Baron on the list? As for my Papa - RAF pilot 1947 - 52 - University Lecturer [previously Polytechnic] in Electrical Engineering Now been retired [many] more years than he worked - will be 97 in August - never known life without him - gonna be tough when he eventually calls it a day ....

If you sell the asset (player) before it is fully depreciated (amortised) then in the (accounting) year of sale the profit & loss account will record a cost of the balance remaining - called NBV (Net Book Value). So, e.g. a player bought for £40m on 4 year contract will be depreciated at £10m...

Doncaster Belles used to be the top female team - I guess that was before big-money-clubs took an interest in the women's game?

I seem to recall the name Martin Gould as a maker of leather jackets and racing suits for the motorcycle fraternity - the business was called "Martin Gould Leathers" and was based in central Brighton. I'm going back to the 1970s/80s so probably long since gone.

Shrops u14s lost to Notts Outlaws on Sunday in the Royal London u14 county Cup. We put them in and they got off to a flyer, 150-1 at 23 overs drinks. We pegged them back and got them 210-9 with 10 overs to go. They closed on 253-9. Our reply was swift and we were ahead of the rate and DLS. But...

Good luck to all willow-whackers and leather-chuckers this weekend.
