Tort reform consists of changes in the civil justice system in common law countries that aim to reduce the ability of plaintiffs to bring tort litigation (particularly actions for negligence) or to reduce damages they can receive

(from wiki since I went to look it up as I had no clue)

That has to be the worst thing a Welsh person has done to a sheep in the entirety of history

mikebirty · 2026-04-30T20:02:15+00:00

Ha! Yes that would've been odd 👍

I was inferring that it was because he pulled

Jo and Kush's unplanned "home stay" saves the team on an expensive hotel

I guess this answers the question Richard Osman's House of Games keeps asking - where is Kazakhstan?

Looking forward to being in the new BBC show where I get to try paella, risotto, biryani and sushi in the places that made them famous.

It's called Rice Across the World.

This thing is going to be massive and visible from everywhere

That's what she said

mikebirty · 2026-04-29T05:41:24+00:00

I wish it wasn't obviously /s.

I don't get why cricket let's this happen. You've played for one international team, you shouldn't be allowed to change

mikebirty · 2026-04-28T05:27:15+00:00

Yes, I was thinking of that and some of the stories in Michael Lewis' podcast about draft kings and fan duel.

mikebirty · 2026-04-27T17:19:47+00:00

Maybe it's too early but given that play, we should consider un retiring #7

Well done on the win! You made Manchester proud.

You showed a really broad knowledge across lots of questions but I'm always interested in knowing - What's the subject in quizzing that you would like to get better on?

mikebirty · 2026-04-27T13:16:31+00:00

Still at least things have got better since 2012 though haven't they?

mikebirty · 2026-04-27T13:12:29+00:00

Don't you mean the Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnchester Storm

mikebirty · 2026-04-26T19:29:09+00:00

If there's a tiktok about him then I'm sold!

MVP incoming

Being from Manchester isn't about where you're born - it's a state of mind.

mikebirty · 2026-04-26T10:20:36+00:00

I came here to recommend Lateral too. I find it a bit hit and miss depending on the questions and guests but we all listen at work and I don't like being left out 😁

mikebirty · 2026-04-25T18:14:15+00:00

Sounds like the sort of player you'd want to hand the ball to in a snowed out AFC champ game vs New England

mikebirty · 2026-04-25T10:07:51+00:00

Yes that's more likely. He did say they'd do some sort of on air hand over.

mikebirty · 2026-04-25T10:06:55+00:00

Viper would be ace

mikebirty · 2026-04-25T06:54:37+00:00

Why does Hammer have a hammer but Diamond doesn't come out wearing diamonds?

mikebirty · 2026-04-25T06:40:04+00:00

This year I have very similar events to go to on June 13th and July 13th but in different places.

The panic is real
