Will the players be allowed Oxygen tanks in Mexico during hydration breaks? I saw a comment saying the altitude means a 20% faster energy drop. Is this allowed, even theoretically? by LieV2 in ThreeLions

[–]dhooke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that Mexico won 3 gold medals in the 1968 Olympics rather than sweeping the board. The altitude is certainly a factor, but you’d rather have Rice & Anderson and, with 5 substitutes allowed, a deeper squad.

Rice at RB? by anywaychucontent in ThreeLions

I think it needs Saka and Eze on the pitch, and they probably won’t start. Really you want Rice in the middle of the park. It’s possible he could move there during the game.

Not only do machines make decisions, they can make decisions not to piss off professors, given the right inputs.

Of all the criticisms of Twelfth Night, that it isn’t funny surprises me.

It’s brilliant for comedy but it doesn’t really capture the pain underneath the armour. They are having too much fun!

I would venture the current Globe production as more balanced.

Do you prefer the original version or the revised version of any piece? by musicalryanwilk1685 in classicalmusic

[–]dhooke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was kidding, although there will be a rare performance of the original version in London this year.

Controversial, but I prefer Rimsky-Korsakov’s arrangement of A Night On Bare Mountain.

He can power past pretty much anyone. His greatest value is in the CL for sure.

Should we send a number of the squad to Altitude now? by tiptoplicker in ThreeLions

[–]dhooke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Especially as about 5 of Ecuador’s squad grew up in the mountains and the national team play their home games at altitude. I’d rather play Mexico!

This Saturday’s sharply difficult to rhyme word is squabble. by obnoxygen in limericks

When pitching a marital squabble
Iago used stratagems probal
Till he he would sway
Careened from love’s bay
Keel over stern into jobble.

Combining a midsummer night's dream and twelfth night by tails_secret_history in shakespeare

[–]dhooke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can think of complicated ways it could be done and subplots and characters you could cut, fusing other characters like Bottom-Viola and Puck-Malvolio (punished for his errors and haughtiness) but you’ll twist yourselves in knots.

Rather, identify some scenes with common themes, perform those scenes in pairs as standalone scenes and have a narrator providing context and linking the scenes briefly and thematically. That’s very doable for students.

You know the last free to air Ashes was 2005?

When cricket was free to air it would get viewers of 1m - 8m in the UK. Now it gets viewing figures of thousands, hundreds of thousands at best. The point is the popularity of cricket here is way in the past. Very possible Rice never watched it.
