Donald says he doesn't know Prince Andrew..

The whole thing was a massive let down. It was one of the first sci-fi books I ever read and that was thanks to hearing the musical version. When I saw the first couple of trailers I thought, yes, at last, a version that is going to be fairly true to the book. Couldn't have been more wrong tbh.

Both. The instructions were to leave it with our neighbour if there was no answer. That and the fact the nugget who delivered it couldn't even put a card through the door.

Purple bin this time. Have had parcels left in most of those mentioned at one time or other. Been a few other fictional places too, one being "porch at back door ". We don't have a fecking porch.

A very lucky 9 for Wednesday, 3 flukes, marathon wrong.

Nope, none of those.

Just finished part 3, can't remember watching anything which deteriorated so badly from the start to the finish. First episode was ok, but it's just got steadily worse all the way through. The post further up that they must have blown the special effects budget by the time they got to the end is spot on imo.

Got a parcel delivered yesterday by Hermes, quite surprised to get this message on their tracking system, considering the only outbuilding we have is a shed which is securely locked. Guess where the parcel was left?

Surprised at the timing myself tbh, thought he would have saw out the season.

Personally, as far as test matches go I can't see them ditching Sibley after just 2 matches, so the first 4 stays as Burns, Sibley, Denly and Root. 5 & 6 Stokes and Pope or vice versa 7 Bairstow or Buttler If they want a spinner then it has to be Moeen at 8, then 3 quicker bowlers after that, and that varies depending on who is fit. If they are all fit then Archer, Broad and Anderson, if Anderson is still injured then Woakes in his place. I do think there is a good case though for picking 4 seamers and for Root to bowl more. They had a lengthy chat last night on TMS before play started saying how hard it was for Archer to bowl quickly consistently. I don't remember that ever being a problem for Ambrose, Walsh etc. If he is going to bowl the same speeds as Broad then they would be as well leaving him out and playing Woakes or Curran who can swing it more.

8 again, poet and hip hop wrong.

Managed to miss England out, but that's what I meant to post. Definitely a tough team to beat on their own patch. Wagner was given player of the series for his 13 wickets, he was impressive tbh, kept up a high level of consistency even when bowling long spells. One thing that jumped out when they showed the all time list of Kiwi batsmen when Taylor passed 7000 runs, 4 of the top 10 are all in the current side and all average 40+.

Match abandoned at 4pm local time, NZ winning back to back to back home Test series against England for the first time ever. The Kiwis face Australia next, while England head to South Africa with the first test starting on Boxing Day.

Had the feeling the Kiwis were just toying with England's bowlers. Williamson go his ton, then when Taylor sensed the rain was coming he battered Root for 4, 6 and 6 to get himself over the 100 mark too. Rain stopped play, and that might be it for the day.

Commentary a bit clearer on this one, with added laughter in the comms box. NZ lead by 110 at lunch with 8 wickets in hand.

Scotland 7s squad. Typical amateur hour stuff from the SRU that they can't even source a picture of one of the squad

Here's the link to the tweet, it's a long thread but very funny.

8 for Monday, Alexandrian and electromagnetic radiation wrong.

And in Adelaide Pakistan are just about managing to take it to the 5th day, but still trail by 61 runs with 3 wickets remaining. Edit: scrub that, just 2 wickets left now as they head for the dinner break still 58 behind.

England's collapse finally came as they lost the last 5 wickets for 21 runs, but for once it came after they were in the lead. 226 for Root, well supported with 75 from Pope, but once both of them fell in quick succession NZ mopped up the tail quickly to trail by 101. England got 2 quick wickets again to have the Kiwis at 28-2, but Williamson and Taylor have rallied them to take them to 5 runs behind at the close. Heavy rain forecast to disrupt day 5 so the draw is looking likely.

53 yard FG wins it for the Broncos.

Or something stupid. Chargers give up a PI penalty that gets the Broncos into FG range....

Heading for OT now unless something miraculous happens in the last 14 seconds.

England into the lead before lunch with no wickets down this morning, pretty much their dream day so far.

Cardinals are having an absolute shocker tonight.
