From 84:5 after 14 overs to finish on 150 is quite a turn around. At least there's something to defend.

They tried with the Green Homes scheme, but like almost all plans from the shower in power it was badly planned and ineptly managed, so it was scrapped earlier this year. We tried to apply for one of the vouchers but didn't qualify because our house isn't listed at the Land Registry, so the people running the scheme said that they could not verify that we owned the house. Apart from the fact we have all our old mortgage papers, are in possession of the property deeds, ( copies of all this was requested and submitted with the application), and registration at the registry has only been compulsory for houses built since the 1970s, ( ours was built in 1936), unless we paid for the registration the application could not be processed. It took 4 months for them to inform us of the issue regarding the LR, by which time they had pulled the plug on the whole scheme. Not only that, but firms doing the installations found that actually getting the relevant documentation released by the Government department was nigh on impossible, and as for getting the money for redeemed vouchers - tough.

Personally I would park at my son's house and go 3 stops on the tram. 😉

Pissed off that the US and UK are helping Australia build nuclear powered submarines, which has led to Australia cancelling a contract for conventionally powered submarines they had with France.

Bloody hell, I need to lie down. I agree with GM.

How much of the World trades in metric ? All of it bar the US, Liberia, and Myanmar. How much of our industry and packaging infrastructure is going to retool for such a change, and who would pay ? Is this yet another Brexit "benefit" that will hit us in our pockets ?

But as he keeps telling us, he is £40k better off post-Brexit so...........something.

Only at the quayside. I always thought Brexit was about returning the UK to a faux 1950s utopia, this announcement from BoJo confirms it.

By now the majority of the population have never lived with most imperial measures, other than miles and pints. All pre-packed goods are sold in Kg or litres. The only produce that is legally defined as measured in imperial units are beer and cider.

They should remember that the Scottish royal family took over the English throne when James succeeded Elisabeth.

The same argument that can be applied to every Government the UK elects, and probably to every" democratic" Government around the World.

1) Liz Truss gets rewarded for demonstrating her hardball negotiating skills in tying down Leichtenstein to a new trade deal. 2) How the fuck is Raab still in the cabinet, let alone being the new Deputy Prime Minister ? 3) At least the corrupt Robert Jenrick is no longer in charge of Planning, ( Communities Secretary ), having been replaced by Michael "I want all children to be above average" Gove. -
Unless Lanky win 😉

So for the next match who do I support ?

A long but interesting insight into how ordinary rural Afghans have experienced the last 40 years. Reading this it is easy to see how stable Taliban government might be seen as preferable to the other options they have encountered; https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/09/13/the-other-afghan-women?utm_source=pocket-newtab-global-en-GB
