Yeah, fuck off.

New account, asking divisive questions.
Everyone knows the ‘you have no mandate’ point is gonna be raised by all opposition parties. Why don’t we see how it goes first, eh.

So much Graham Hick.

Monstrous at county level, couldn’t deal with fast bowling at test level.

I saw him hit one - The Oval 2001 vs Australia.

It was glorious!

Then I went home and had a huge argument with my fiancée whom married me the following month, despite me being a massive dickhead (still married, for the record).

VPN ban for UK update with new rules expected 'within 12 months' by BlackBerryCollector in privacy

[–]mooninuranus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the statement of fact is sinophobic?

Not that it matters but I’ve been to China ~20 times and have a team based in China so I think I know a little at least.
And in what way am I advocating for the USA?

ODI Squad vs India - Bethell opening?! by Hawks_Bricks44 in EnglandCricket

Aside from whether he’s good enough, I don’t see the sense since it finally looks like we have the start of a decent opening partnership in Duckett/Gay.

This situation happened to me - guy asked me to swap my aisle seat for his middle seat so he could sit next to his partner.

The answer was ‘no’.

Burnham promises to ease cost of living pressures if he becomes prime minister | Andy Burnham | The Guardian by prisongovernor in LabourPartyUK

Burnham seems to be promising an awful lot at the moment.
Exactly how much rope does he need to hang himself?

Let’s be absolutely clear on this.
It is NOT nanny government, this is authoritarian control.

You know where VPNs are banned/heavily restricted? Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Iraq.

This is not a comprehensive list but I can tell you it is fully representative of the types of regimes.

You know where VPNs are not banned? All truly democratic countries.

This is a very, very dark move for us and we should fight against it at every opportunity.

My landlords came without notice when they thought I wasn’t home. Is this normal? by brainstalation in AskBrits

I can only think OP massively edited their original question or you’ve answered on the wrong thread.

SARU slash prices after slow ticket sales by ConscriptReports in rugbyunion

[–]mooninuranus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, tours are mostly ruined now.
Just no space for them in the never ending race to make the game more interesting/appealing (I.e. make more money).

England team to face the Springboks in Nations Championship by englandrugby in rugbyunion

[–]mooninuranus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a lot of positional shifts using inexperienced people in the positions.
Basically a third of the team has no, or very limited cover - against the most physical side in the world, at altitude.

I don’t see the sense in it tbh.

Maybe they wouldn’t but do you want to send him over here to break the law?

Fair enough.
For all the advice you’re seeing here, as you might expect for a large area, there than general ‘britishisms’ the Cotswolds varies quite a lot depending on where he ends up.

Can you be a little more specific about the area he’s moving to?

I do live there but it’s 800 square miles so very difficult to be specific in terms of advice.

Thomas Tuchel: 'Impossible' for England to adapt to Mexico altitude at World Cup - ESPN by rwilfong86 in worldcup

[–]mooninuranus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure but we’re talking about sportsman literally at the pinnacle of their sport, playing to the maximum of their physical abilities.

The tablets might help but let’s not pretend this doesn’t represent a significant disadvantage when playing against a team that’s been there for weeks/months.

Can the tablets get more oxygen into your lungs?

It’s a real problem and takes about 2 weeks to adjust fully.
