    [Misc] Good people doing good things - Dave Myers

    It's a poorly written article. Perhaps "Dave's Day" would have been less ambiguous? Also, despite warnings of clashes with other events in the area, I can't see anywhere in the article of the date the ride is actuslly planned for.

    Absolutely great opportunity, make sure he takes it with both hands. Grade cricket over there is[was] 2-days played over 2 consecutive Saturdays - top order batters getting a duck batting first might not get another bat for FOUR weeks - make it count. Few years back, one of the lads from my...

    Not quite sure what you mean? Perhaps you are angling the senior men's team? Anyways .... To play CAG (County Age Group) cricket, the player must be aged between 9 and 19 AND meet 1 of the following: a) reside within that County b) was born within that County c) be attending an educational...

    [Technology] Will this put you off buying a new car?

    I reckon having a car that could break the speed limit probably saved my daughters life. About 25 years ago, we visited the maize maze at Tulleys Farm for a family day out. 5 year old daughter got stung on the neck, we think, by a wasp. Within 5 minutes her face had swollen up like she had gone...

    [Finance] Premium Bonds - prize pool increased again - you ever have any luck?

    Had poor PB returns on £10k holding for the last 6 months so put £5k in two easy access ISA. I now "win" £40 EVERY MONTH !! Yes, no chance of winning the big prize, but I think I read somewhere that the odds are more in favour of being struck by lightening. I'm not greedy, I'll take the steady...

    VERY early start today [on the road by 7] as we set off for the 240 mile round trip to play Bedfordshire at Blunham CC. We won the toss and batted - good opening stand helped us to 209/7 from 45 We were bolstered by the return of our star opening bat from an ACL rupture in January - he made a...

    [Technology] Microsoft Outlook Hotmail storage

    Use data (.pst) files to move messages out of your mailbox that you want/need to keep. These are like a folder you create and then just drag n drop messages out of your mailbox. Inbox should only really hold messages you need to do something with (awaiting action). Some of my pst files are 5+GB...

    Does the no dickheads policy also include managers? If yes, rules Mourinho out.

    GAME OFF ! Groundsman declared Monday afternoon that the ground will be unfit and with rain forecast all day Tuesday, no chance of a 40-40 on Wednesday either. Ho-hum - on to Sunday and a 240 mile round trip to play "Cricket East" aka Bedfordshire in the Royal London u14 county cup.

    Sunday, Shrops u14 lost to Leicestershire CCC Acadamy u14. Rain delayed start by 1 hour, we lost the toss and were inserted. Limped to 107/9 from 36 before we were off for thunder and more rain, early lunch taken. Delayed restart bought Duckworth-Lewis into the game. Our innings was closed and...

    [Politics] Government advises households to prepare emergency supplies - How many days could you survive in YOUR household?

    I did a tour of Hack Green nuclear command bunker a few years back. Very interesting and disturbing in equal measures. In the event of nuclear war it is predicted most people will die trapped in rubble from fallen buildings with no one to rescue them. Dehydration / starvation. So I'm happy (as...

    [Football] Poch leaves chelsea

    Well, what a mickey-mouse outfit Chelsea have become under deep-pockets Todd - there's a lot of "odd" in "Todd" I'd love it, love it, if Astrid Wett became their press officer - marriage made in heaven. Has she shared her insight yet on this monumental decision?
