I'm a believer that music, especially classical music, can affect your mind and mood, relaxing being the obvious one. I'm not a music or arts person but would be interested to hear comments about using classical music for mental preparation for sport, particularly cricket. When I played, I...

Not sure that's right as the moon and sun gravitational pull are continuously changing as Earth orbits the sun and the moon orbits Earth. The bulge on Earth's equator is caused by centrifugal force acting against Earth's own gravity as the equator is spinning at ~1000 MPH

I too am of the generation where food waste is unacceptable. Not sure if it was last night or this morning but I must have eaten something on the edge as at 4pm this afternoon it took 6-7 chunders to totally empty the contents of my stomach down the pan. Was right as rain after and for tea had...

Poor effort 2/10 Well short of Pam Ayres or Victoria Wood standards

20 years ago before girls cricket was a thing, my then 11 year old daughter could hold her own with the boys. Opened the batting for Lilleshall u11 boys. She got so much flack from opposition, for being a girl, she dropped cricket and played netball for county instead. I'm sure she'd thrive now...

When our kids were born 30 odd years ago we both did a simple mirror will. Over the years it's needed a few tweaks here and there but remained basic. We last updated it Nov 21 with a local solicitor who billed the Air Ambulance charity £240 (free to us) and we included a non obligatory donation...

Do Trinty still run lighthouses or has the evolution of Sat-Navs for shipping made them all redundant?

Agreed, this has been a great thread, hearing the stories for everyone's cricket experiences this year. No wish to hijack the thread, but I didn't want to start a thread all of it's own. One of our ladies at our cricket board office is doing an Alpes 3-peakes challenge to raise funds for...

What's access like? Bunker suggests underground, is it all steps or have lifts been installed? Thinking of taking my 97 yo dad who was RAF fighter pilot after the war ended. He'd love it but he's not so good on his feet these days.

Tried watching Aus BeIN 2 and it was fecking tennis all evening? Yet programme said EFL cup ???

A new experience to share .... Purchased a USB cable from AliExpress - bit specialist as it has an RS232 chip in the USB jack and a 3.5mm jack on the other end - but that's beside the point. Postman delivered a package on the expected date (11 days after order placed). Bizarrely, the package...

Actually, the ops haven't really scored even one goal as ManU goal was a JPVH O/G

I got my first bike in 1975 and sold my last one on 1988. But in those years lived and nearly died motorbikes. I worked in the trade, Franklyns in HH, Redhill Motors (Brighton and Lewes) and owned some tasty kit over the years. Raced RD400, TZ350s, RG500 & GSXR750 all over the UK. But that was...

RIP Thorpy Not only a great player but he also developed in to a very decent batting coach, having an input into many of today's England test stars. The only blemish I can recall was that memorable slower ball from Courtney Walsh - that said, he was braver than many, for just being out there...
