Possibly one of the bowlers for Richardson? It's not helpful that players like Buttler have dropped off a cliff. And that there's not a decent spinner in England's side. 4 steamers (and only Root) is too risky and one dimensional.

I thought they might win one but I agree. Just a desperately weak batting side. Low on confidence and if Root isn't at the crease they've got no chance.

Lewandowski equalled the record!

2!? I'm dreading the next one so can't begin to even imagine how you cope with 2/month! What causes them for you?

The guy put in charge of investigating the Tory Xmas parties last year, HOSTED A PARTY HIMSELF AS WELL. You couldn't make this shit up. Well, actually you could. Because an increasing number of Tories are proving to have no moral compass and are corrupt as fuck.

Grade A? That's generous of you!

Good to have you back @Berserker. Big question - vaccine or anti-vax ?

I did similar! I was driving home yesterday and was making sure i could remember specific dates and birthdays and memories

Thanks. That pretty much helped when it happened. Went to bed early, lay down in the dark and both nights since it happened the sleep has been fine. It was a bit worrying - especially the amount of pain that was felt.

Already do. That protects from glare as opposed to anything else. I'm working from home and have done for the past 5/6 years. Thanks - as far as I'm aware (and other people on here may differ) I wasn't dropped as a child or sustained a bad childhood head injury. I don't know what 'going alternative' means.

Man Utd vs Brighton postponed.

Yep, especially after the missed chances in the 1st Test. It's something you'd expect high level test cricketers to learn from. Can imagine England may have a similar moment to the 1st Test where they rally and recover, but probably already left themselves too much to do. I don't see enough in them to fight back. Already seen one collapse in the last test and expect many more.

Had a splitting headache on Tuesday after work. Never felt a pain like it so spoke to someone who suffers from migraines and it sounded exactly the same. Can't be 100% sure it was a migraine, but this was more than just a headache. Vision affected ever so slightly, painkillers didn't work too much. Just felt restless and tired and fatigued. The pain is as if someone is cracking your skull open but at the same time, your brain is about to shoot through any gap that appears. Not pleasant in the slightest. I've put it down to just being in front of a screen for 2 days at work and not taking enough breaks (not totally in my control). Other general stresses around but mainly work and the new role I'm in.

Gotta admit Warner being out in the 90s again is amusing.

Staggering. And you see the planets too (Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Earth then Jupiter according to the comments). For black and white footage, the impression the Milky Way creates to be so visible is surreal.

It says in the thread it was manufactured and 'scripted' to send an 'inspirational' message out

Staged.

Do you not think Trump brought on a lot of the bluster just because of how many times he was just making outlandish extraordinary statements or actions? Like mocking a disabled person at a promo event? Made a rod for his own back most of the time. He's a narcissist. Loves all the attention on him and nothing else. Hence out of that, there's always going to be a lot of media attention on him. Biden doesn't really have the same pull (a good thing in my eyes). Biden doesn't strike me as someone who will flog a dead cat just to distract. Trump was an expert in doing so.

Good news for Women's football funding

They probably could but if I had the choice of working with Real Madrid or Newcastle I'd definitely opt for the former.

Richarlison and Townsend out for the foreseeable

Rumours were he went to Barcelona to get a tattoo. Whether it matches with the time-frame I'm not sure.

Aubameyang has been stripped of the Arsenal captaincy.
