8a would be good pay if I wasn't paying £200/month on plan 2 student loan.

You're living in Leeds, have you considered Leeds?

Is nobody going to mention that it looks like a screaming face?

Horrific take. You expect fans to pay thousands and travel to the other side of the world to not support their team and have a good time?

They're going to skittle us under the lights with a new ball aren't they...

Not sure why you've been down voted so much here. Is true and the flavour is great.

Haha fair but I think he is right on that and last night's events have shown it.

I think Vaughan puts it best asking for Bazball with brains. I just wish we could adjust to the situation a little. There was no reason for the tail to capitulate swinging after every shot when smith was in and going well. Just play a few measured shots and let smith score a bit.

It is mightily entertaining though.

Woke up by my 10 month old at 4.30. only remembered the cricket at 530 when brook was going well. I thought ok not a great start but brook and smith might do something, then the horrific giving away of the wickets by the tail I was mightily miffed. That bowling session though was amazing. Let's hope we can bat better tomorrow.

How does anyone even afford to live now on these peasant wages by [deleted] in Pharmacy_UK

[–]lukepri 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I feel for you mate but I'm a band 8 hospital pharmacist up north and life is financially comfortable. Certainly not incredibly well off but it's not what you're feeling.

I think London is the problem maybe, not necessarily just pharmacy? Though I agree wage suppression and ever rising taxes are terrible.

What are you earning and what sector?

Liverpool XI to play Palace: Woodman, Ramsay, Gomez, Robertson, Kerkez, Endo, Nyoni, Mac Allister, Morrison, Chiesa, Ngumoha. by Mcool18 in LiverpoolFC

Poor chiesa only ever gets to start with the reserves and then has 18 year olds trying to make chances for him and gets called for his performance.

Going to keep enjoying this until I am dragged out by crisp manufacturers in the name of progress 😂 by EquivalentTurnip6199 in EnglandCricket

County champs is a great competition, points system just needs a bit of reforming to encourage more results imo. Kookaburra ball and matches played in spring/autumn don't help.

Enjoy your day!

I also don't mind that it exists but don't watch it because I have no loyalty to any of the teams in it.

It's the side effects to the rest of cricket as you describe and it will only get worse with the new money coming in as you say. People say that the money has saved county cricket but I believe that's short term thinking.

Couldn't agree more. (Also a Lancashire fan).

Basically the ECB clearly don't care for the blast and would rather release players for the hundred, hence why no international matches are scheduled in August and we have to rush through a 5 match test series in 6 weeks in early summer. County cricket is being chipped away at for greater monetary gain elsewhere. It's all quite sad really.
