  1. I was the opposite, best I've drove the ball all year and most of my irons were good, but short game was horrendous. Putted well when I finally got on the green. Very windy and tough going.
  2. Aye, think England's best chance of a win now would be to force the follow on. Forecast for Sunday and Monday is fine so it should be 2 full days play.
  3. Complete washout today certainly does the Windies no harm.
  4. Some fan base at Chester with the Queen, Paul Weller, Nick Cave, somebody from Kiss, Alfredo Morelos, Debbie Harry, 2 dugs and Lionel Richtea among those taking a seat for their next home match.
  5. Been there, done that. [emoji23]
  6. Not sure, but she was presenting The One Show earlier, and afaik has been on all week.
  7. Saw this stat on twitter, but as somebody has pointed out this is the 3rd time in 4 tests they have scored 400+ in the first innings.
  8. Silverwood said when he took over that one of the things he wanted was for players to occupy the crease, do that and the scores will come. This is a very fragile Windies batting line up, can see them wilting under scoreboard pressure, and I won't be surprised if Broad has one of those mad bowling spells with him feeling pissed off at being left out last week.
  9. Not good to see the continuing struggles of Matteo Mannassero. 4 time winner on the European Tour at the age of 20, including an impressive PGA Championship win at Wentworth, but has now tumbled to 1670th in the world rankings at age 27. This week's Euram Open has a field more like a challenge tour event, but he still found himself a few shots outside the cut line. Yesterday's round sums up his struggles, 3 under thru 15 holes, but then drops 5 shots over the final 3 holes.
  10. It should have been The Open this weekend, the BBC are showing some of the Chronicles of a Champion golfer series, every one of them is a great watch. Even Faldo. They have condensed 3 episodes into 1, today was Woods, Watson and Nicklaus, think tomorrow is McIlroy, Clarke and Faldo.
  11. That's an absolutely stunning strike from Raul Jiménez.
  12. Think the director at Burnley v Wolves is either new to this or had a hefty pub lunch. 4 or 5 times we've been watching pictures of the wrong bit of the field while play is going on elsewhere.
  13. If this is true, it makes absolutely no sense at all. How can they deem it safe for aerosol treatments to be used on private patients, but not NHS ones? Important NOTICE – THIS CONCERNS THE FUTURE OF NHS DENTAL SERVICES IN SCOTLAND Dear Patient, We hope you and your families are well during these testing times. We wish to update you on the current situation facing all Scottish dental practices that provide NHS services: The Scottish Government (SG) announced it will allow dental practices with registered NHS patients to provide ‘routine’ dental care from 13th of July 2020. However, SG have forbidden the use of Aerosol Generating Procedures on NHS patients within the practice. This is any treatment involving air and/or water – 95% of what we do involves aerosols. The SG have failed to acknowledge that a check-up requires use of aerosols to enable adequate inspection of your teeth and to plan your treatment properly. As an NHS patient, if you require an aerosol procedure such as a simple filling, we will have to refer you to an NHS Dental Hub, a significant inconvenience to you and us. Our clinical staff have been fit tested for advanced PPE and have undergone further cross infection training to comply with updated protocols and procedures. This ensures your visit to our practice is safe and reduces the risk for COVID-19 transmission. There is worldwide evidence supporting the safety of routine dental treatment with these measures. The SG department Health Improvement Scotland (HIS) also supports these measures therefore allowing us to offer private aerosol treatments in a safe manner. Subsequently, the only effective non-aerosol treatments we can provide on the NHS are extractions and patch ups for teeth. There is no such restriction on providing aerosol treatments privately in our practice. We were given specific instruction by the SG to offer private treatment as part of your options when consenting to your treatment plan. NHS dentistry has been underfunded for years and is only feasible through Government subsidies and contractor practices such as ours, running an efficient business with a high number of patients and short appointments. This is no longer sustainable as the COVID-19 pandemic means we cannot see enough patients to make our businesses viable without SG support. Currently we are only permitted to see 10 patients per day. The future of NHS dentistry in Scotland is questionable due to the lack of adequate support from the SG. The SG provided financial support during the closures they enforced but have not enhanced this support to enable us to provide sustainable NHS treatments on reopening. We have written numerous letters to the SG to express our concerns yet they have imposed the closures and restrictions without proper consultation with the dental profession. You are welcome to contact the practice for all your emergency and dental needs but we regret that the NHS treatments we provide will be restricted for the reasons stated. If you feel in any way concerned about the situation affecting you as an NHS patient we would encourage you to write to your MSP to express your dissatisfaction. Kind regards
  14. But no mention if Broad will return, although they are probably hedging their bets until they get a look at the pitch. Not that they made the right choice after last week's viewing.
  15. Same for me with Pink Floyd, they have some wonderful songs, I would have 4 or 5 of them in my top 100 of all time, but I would struggle to sit and listen to some of their albums right through.
  16. Maybe he had a deep lying love of the English language, and jumped after reading some of his daughter's previous social media posts.
