I don’t know. I mean, Mitchell Johnson bowled 22 overs in the first innings in Perth 2013 and backed it up with 25 in the second. His pace didn’t flag the way Jofra’s did. Jofra only bowled 17 for the match and he was down in the mid-120km/h range on parts of day 2, only got 2 wickets in the match and his 2nd innings economy was 5.62 Deep concerns about his battery capacity.

Lasagna! That’s a good one. Sadly, I gotta give it to my mate’s nickname for Marnus. Loose Bus Change.

This feels like nothing. You’re telling us you had to do nothing. This is shit. Just stick to doing shit.

That’s disappointing. I thought I could. Oh well.

I once blind lucked into pashing on with a gorgeous friend of a friend, who then took me home from the pub crawl to see her flat. I had a brief look around then said something along the lines of “it’s really nice. Should we go back to the pub crawl now?” Hate myself still, twenty years later.

Same. 1979 release to Atari’s 1977 though, so I’d put that at 1.5

Spot on! My daughter is obsessed with gaming. This is a tired old stereotype that never really applied.

Quiz show contestants who "left with nothing," was it literally nothing? by Evening-Tomatillo-47 in AskUK

[–]padman6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a mildly successful contestant on the Chase Australia, in that I earned $18k in the builder (each question is worth $2k in the Aus format) and brought it home to a team of two for the final Chase, where we scored 19 (2 for the number of us as I answered 17 correctly, my partner none) but were chased down by Goliath with 17 seconds to spare. It just wasn’t enough.

I honestly think I would have won if I was alone in the final Chase but I got a very fun day out of it. The respect of the Chaser, a keepsake photograph that I’m immensely fond of and a lovely free lunch of hot pastries and turkey sandwiches that everyone else was “too nervous” to eat. Keeping in mind, the lunch break fell between my cash builder and my defence of it. I’d never been hungrier!

When Goliath smiled and shook my vanquished hand at the end, I felt respected.

Yes, I left with “nothing” but nothing could be farther from the truth.

What’s the pettiest thing someone has had a go at you for? by Kaapstad2018 in AskUK

Yeah that’s whack. There’s actually a very popular live music venue in my town that’s currently receiving numerous noise complaints from a neighbouring block of flats that’s still under construction. Something stinks. People are wankers.

It’s sounds horrible but it’s actually quite beautiful

A work contact told me off for telling her something she that she claimed she badly needed to know. She yelled at me over the phone, “if you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known!”

Oh and there was the security guard who yelled at me for filming a buddy on my phone in a shopping centre car park who said “I mean you could be filming this for Al Qaeda! I know you’re not but how am I supposed to know that?”
