Who would you all choose?

Totally off form. Didn't have a great IPL and there are better options than him right now for SA.

Great protection from England's bowlers to defend that total. Thought it'd be a bit too low by England's standards. Archer has hit the ground running. Stokes just taken a stunning catch.

Great start for Saffers!

Aladdin. Went to watch this on Sunday with the missus. Was pleasantly surprised; was more enjoyable than I expected. Kind of forgotten some parts of the story and some characters but it all came rushing back as the film played out. Thought the character that played Jaffar could have been a bit more mean-looking/menacing for an antagonist and 'evil' character but that's about the worst thing I could pick out. Will Smith is great as the genie. Liked this as well, really like Will Smith. Doesn't ever seem to act like a massive twat or arrogantly in front of fans or just in public.

Valverde needs to be replaced but can't help but think Martinez will be a bit of an underwhelming choice.

On the same ground where England and Pakistan shared 700+ runs!

Just caught up with cricket from today. India got to 266-5 by 43 overs then ended up on 366 . Dhoni went to town on the Bangladesh bowlers! Really good stand being made by Das and Mushfiqur in return though.

Anyone been watching French Open? Quite a few surprises already. Wozniacki and Kerber out in the first round in the Women's. Medveded knocked out as well in the Mens.

Glad you're safe @Grizzly21.

Haha thought you genuinely missed it

Whooosh!

Good to see you back @Dr Boris Gobshite!

Good day of sport today. England vs Australia cricket. Monaco F1 qualifying. League Two play-off final.

Is this in the new film being released in July? The Edge? Looks good.

The only bit I hate about the injection is how numb your face feels after it for the rest of the day. End up dribbling like you've just had a stroke. Congratulations @Eco!

Had a filling today. Without an injection. Tough as fuck, me.

Saw some new rules this morning for sin-bins to be introduced at 5th tier of Non-League downwards. If a goal-keeper is sin-binned, they have to come back out on pitch before ball goes out of play then they can swap back with the outfield player that went in goal

I didn't even notice there was another person other than @Eco

True. I've put it down to stress from work as I had quite a productive day and got a lot done. Feel a bit more relieved of everything today and mood has changed.

That 2nd picture is a classic 'why are you looking at me, I've done nothing wrong, you got a problem?!' look

Not read whole thread so apologies if already mentioned. There's 2 new exhibitions at Kensington Palace open from tomorrow in honour of Queen Victoria and 200 years since she was born. One focusing on her childhood and the other focusing on her time and history with India. My missus loves Queen Victoria so we may go. Tickets only £17.50 for adults which is pretty decent considering you get other stuff along with access to Palace grounds etc.

Sometimes can be a madhouse! Think I'll probably feel the same as you when I have 1 of my own let alone more than 1 or having grandchildren! I'm not sure why I feel so down at the moment. Usually I can pinpoint it especially if it's affecting my sleep as I usually sleep well. Funnily enough I actually had a dream last night that I was lost in this vast airport (think Heathrow or Gatwick x10) and no matter which way I turned I kept looping back on myself and couldn't find a way out. Really disconcerting and somewhat disturbing really. Maybe I'm just overthinking stuff.

Anyone else just randomly start to feel a bit...shit? Even though everything in life seems quite rosy on the outset, I'm not sure if it's worries about work, family, money or just feeling worn down that's got me feeling like this tonight. Last couple of nights' sleep haven't been too great but I can't pinpoint on what it could be. Feel at a bit of a loss at the moment.
