Was there today. Beautiful day for cricket. A few very poor shots, but Root looked imperious until his final shot. Impressive cameo from Gus at the end. Hoped for more from Pope, Brook and Smith but they never seemed to get to the pitch, so maybe it's harder than it looks.

I loved Pacher giving it a half-hearted sprint for 20m or so before accepting the inevitable.

Takes me back to arriving at rapha hq on Monday morning and seeing a load of canisters piled up and being surprised there had been so many punctures over the weekend. (there was a club round the corner).
Rarely felt so middle aged.

Oops - off to see The The in a few weeks. 40 years is better, right?

(even if Matt's a bit 'do your own research' these days).

Yes - it's all over the place. Going to be hard for anyone to control.

Man utd getting fergie-timed. Excellent.
Looking like it's going to be a long season for Ipswich (tough start mind) and Everton looking jokes.

Hell of a ride from Kuss.

Surprisingly interesting end to that stage.

Wow. How did you get the update?

We got £2k for our shitty S-max that was worth about a grand. Donated it to Ukraine where it's probably assisting the counter-invasion of Russia.

4+ minutes is quite the lead to give away to O'Connor.

Granny charging that way is shite. With a proper charge point you can plug in before bed and it's charged by the morning so no trailing over the pavement during the day.

Vuelta start line in a supermarket really is the most bonkers thing sport has done in a while.

Parking will be entertaining though as others have said. We probably manage to park outside our house 1 week in 4 at the moment.

How often will most people be recharging? There'll be some heavy use commuters, but most will only need charging every few weeks I would have thought.

Glad I am going to the first day at Lords, not any later.

Probs someone 'on here' from the football thread:

This. And refusing to tell the crowd what's going on adds to the misery.

Medals should transfer with him.

The new 'maybe we won't bother getting involved' var seems even worse. It's so shit.

I lol'd.

Nice to get the (Pl) season off to a traditional spawny utd last minute goal start.

I think it's one of their glues/grouts.

That's really bleak. Poor lad. Must have been really tough in Paris.

Not terribly generous odds for a third party to win the popular vote @ 50/1 considering it hasn't happened for 200 odd years and pretty much can't with the current processes.
Not that the odds for alternative choices for president are much better.

The top one is interesting - if slightly disingenuous at times.
90 years ago - I think we could expect some degradation.
Sarajevo - extenuating circumstances.
Ski jumps shot in summer, multiple angles of the same stadia etc.

But for eg kayaking and BMX that need something very specific built in a city/region that maybe doesn't have the sport at grass roots level it's tough. There needs to be more temporary structures and/or use of existing infrastructure (and I think there has been esp post Athens which was a shitshow financially).
