    [Cricket] Ollie Robinson suspended by ECB

    This will rumble on for ages because of the ECB's incompetence. Having failed to do their job in the first place they will carry out the due diligence with zeal and in painful detail to show everybody what a grand job they are doing.

    [Technology] Internet Issues - Hope you don't need Government things

    Not that long ago the FDA in America recalled 500,000 pacemakers so their firmware could be updated as there was a cybersecurity risk they could be hacked. Suddenly a self driving Tesla doesn't seem so tempting.

    [Technology] Out of touch with the 21st century, now it's Stat's turn - Lounges.

    Can't put the genie back in the bottle. I've noticed more hotels in the States are using smartphones to access pretty much everything. No reception staff, no bellboys, no room service - about the only people you see are the cleaning staff. I think the lack of human contact is pretty sad and...
