29th May. The next significant anniversary will be the 70th in 2023.

Winding up telephone scammers claiming to be from BT or "Windows Support". We have variously been a Police Station, a secret Government establishment, and an active murder scene where the investigating officers on site have picked up the phone. ( Our daughter has a variation on this one where she responds as the perpetrator saying "They're all dead, there's so much blood !" ). We have also created an entirely fictitious 3rd son, and we now get scammers asking for him directly, ( but he is always unavailable as he is on active service in the SBS. The caller's often respond to this by saying how proud we must be of him ).

Dear Mr Johnson, if re-entry was frictionless, why did they need a heat shield ?

PNE's GK is Stuart Ripley's son.

Preston live text ; "Billy Bodin recieves the ball down the right wing, dances through three Southampton defenders and rifles the ball into the far top corner!" Presumably 2 of the 3 were Stephens and Hoedt.

Careful Whitey, you'll get panned because they aren't in Europe.

So you discount the Free French fighting in the 8th army, the Poles at Monte Casino and Arnhem, the Polish and Czech pilots in the Battle of Britain, and the Norwegian ships helping the Home Fleet and escorting the Atlantic and Arctic convoys ?

UC is merely a larger iteration of the cock-ups that PIP and Student Loans have been. They all suffer from a lack of common sense and logic, and the idea that UC is an entirely online process, based as it is on a Government IT system, makes it very hard to decide if the resulting problems are cock-up or conspiracy, ( as in the PIP system intentionally deterring claimants ).

And the relevance of this to a discussion of JRM's tweet quoting the Duke of Wellington in an anti-EU diatribe is ?

Rahane. I think Morris is T20 only.

I was told the JRM bit by my daughter, so thought I would share. If you have a link to the comments you claim, I will quite happily ridicule them as well. By the way, did you like Eoin Morgan's interview where he told reporters that along with "the Luck of the Irish", Adil Rashid had told him that Allah was clearly on England's side ? Also, JRM's quoting of "A damn near run thing" is borrowed from the Irish born Duke of Wellington, who was commenting on his victory at Waterloo - won by an army of which only a third were English, Scots, or Welsh, the rest being Dutch, Belgian, Irish, and German, and of course the victory was only sealed by the arrival of the Prussians. Who needs Europe?

Jacob Rees Mogg making a complete t1t of himself, again, trying to link the cricket World Cup win to Brexit; https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/jacob-rees-mogg-cricket-england-world-cup-brexit_uk_5d2b7f93e4b0bd7d1e1e4d68?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS9zZWFyY2g_cT1qYWNvYityZWVzK21vZ2cmaWU9dXRmLTgmb2U9dXRmLTgmY2xpZW50PWZpcmVmb3gtYi1t&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAGVg2OBDhQtypXFf7AhlB1Ne0emR1lfnQ7cij7RotXRLWHW3088pYp1Lbtj-c0GnhhDzy54pzbdhZvgBFFmNbVHqKOWk7vijoOCCKMQJm0k7u4ULTEPA810OZDi0uaEx0CPAEtYimfjfempwOG3xAW4xFjQzAlu9s1HYZGlAPldU

"So interesting to see 'progressive' Democrat congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all),........." ..."Why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came." 3 of the 4 Congresswomen thought to be the target of this message from Trump were born in the USA, ( so perhaps he is correct ).

England, ( with some help from South Africa, New Zealand, Ireland, and Barbados ), win a penalty shoot out.

"We're gonna score one more than you !"

"What would you be if you weren't a footballer? " "A virgin"

Staff who take time "off sick" when their manager is on holiday, and are surprised by the reaction when they bump into the manager at a local family leisure amenity.

WOOT !!!!!

Just seen a replay of the Steve Smith run out, Buttler threw the ball through Smith's legs as he scrambled for the non-striker's end.

Which effectively removes the front foot no-ball rule from the laws and penalises the batting side.
