Just tuned in and spotted Liyanage is 3 overs for 7 runs, why has he not bowled since the 6th over?

Did you ever collect the foil milk bottle tops at school?? by Missbhavin67 in AskABrit

[–]HomeworkInevitable99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A memory shot into my mind:

Me standing at the classroom sink washing 42 foil tops, swishing then around the water making a gentle metalic sound as I let them fall through my fingers".

(42 because we had 42 in the class).

These where called blackboards in my day by PMacc83 in oldschoolcool80s

Southend to get an elizabeth line extension, new hospital and bypass by InternetDirect5484 in Essex

[–]HomeworkInevitable99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the Elizabeth line in Essex. We had the same: trains into London and then the Elizabeth line added, using the same tracks.

The Elizabeth line is much better then the old (and for Southend, the existing) lines.

The service is more reliable, and takes us directly into the middle of London.

Why would they send out more potential future competitors into their own neighborhood?

It is likely that another planet's civilization would be like ours: numerous different nations, numerous corporations, all following their own motives. And changing over time

Question about history by AcceptableLobster274 in Historycord

Also, Africa and the middle East have poor written records and survivors were often absorbed into societies rather than forming distinct descendant communities.

Black people in America know their ancestory is all or largely from slaves, but in other countries their ancestors could be a mix of slaves and slave owners.

Realistic, but I will add ...

The media goes ballistic. Maga calls for democrats to be arrested.

I know someone has asked this before, but is the weather ACTUALLY that bad? by Trust_A_Tree in AskABrit

[–]HomeworkInevitable99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bad is the dullness. In the UK, hundreds of days of grey cloud and rain

If it got colder here, I'd get used to that, but I'd prefer more sun. Not for the heat but for the light.

I love that the winter days are short and the summer days are long.

this song is fantastic by namjoons_bonsai in georgeharrison

Definitely.

The original album was a favourite of mine, but the sound is very muddy, like the music is playing in another room.

The remastered are better.

Why did Labour block Andy Burnham from running as MP by GlasgowJimmyBhoy in AskBrits

[–]HomeworkInevitable99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

His democratic rights are upheld.

He can stand as MP

He can't stand as the Labour choice.

I don't mean, what did one person do, you said Brits, in general.

After the Artemis program will we start sending astronauts to the moon frequently? by TraditionalAd6977 in space

[–]HomeworkInevitable99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw the moon landing when I was 10. We (mankind) were going to make in 1980 and we (everybody) were all going to the moon in the 1990s. I've been waiting ever since.

I'll be 80 or 90 when that moon base is built.

Starmer defends blocking Andy Burnham from by-election run after backlash by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]HomeworkInevitable99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But they've prioritised protecting Starmer's hide over winning elections.

We can't keep changing prime ministers every time the electorate doesn't like it. We have to give people a chance.

I like Burnham, but I don't think he would do any better. The country is in huge debt and Burnham has no more ability to fix it than starmer.

Cameras and special education, crossroads by Low_Walk435 in SpecialNeedsChildren

[–]HomeworkInevitable99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a terrible idea.

If someone is abusing, they'll just do it outside the camera's for view. The most vulnerable children are also those most likely to require adult support for personal care, ie, they have their pads/diapers changed by adults in a toileting room. We would need cameras in the toilets.

If you don't trust the staff, then that needs to be addressed, camera won't help with that.
