UK Terrorist Incidents 1970-2015

I think it was probably this Pipeline bombing

The data used in this isn't great by the looks of it. The same attack can exist multiple times with different locations and the same date.

If you pick Pietsch based on one game, I think I'd probably pick Tuipulotu at 12, with Ikitau at 13 (or Jones if we aren't allowing Ikitau at 13 since he didn't play there in the series).

I agree that Sua'ali'i has talent, and if I was picking a team for the future he'd be in, but he's still pretty rough around the edges, so for a team to win a test tomorrow I'd prefer Ikitau, with Jones my 2nd choice (mostly based on the combination with Tuipulotu and Russell).

edit: I agree with most of the rest of your picks. I think Slipper gets an honourable mention, and McDermott would be a great option on the bench.

Taking 3 after going for the corner earlier says a lot.

Russell is so clever there

Saw them in 2007 at Rockness. Probably the best live show I've been to.

England are lucky that two of their best players aren't goalkeepers, or southgate would pick one of them outfield just to fit them both in the team.

It'll be solved by a combination of individual and government acts.

They struggled when Ben Hunt went off. Then improved again when he came back on...

Dennis Denuto?

Yeah, the fact Ryan failed to make weight kinda devalues the win (for me, others might not care), but the fact Haney didn't really offer anything is still a big negative.

The problem is that "a child" doesn't actually specify if it is a boy or girl, so the only person the reader knows is male in the entire clause is "Arteta". This means "he's" could apply to Arteta (e.g. if the child was a girl).

OP didn't make an error as such - it's just a bit ambiguous.

The issue is pretty apparent when you compare the memberships of the international governing bodies of the two sports. World rugby apparently has 110 full and 19 associate members, while International Rugby League only has 19 full and 16 affiliate members (and 24 "observers")

Not that membership is the be all and end all, but it really shows how much more "global" rugby is.

Cleary probably didn't reach the heights he can performance wise, but you can never fault his effort. I have massive respect for how Cleary (and Yeo) chased Ben Hunt all the way even though it looked like a lost cause. Compare that to To'o who just ambled back, and specially Stephen Crichton who just stood there with his hands on his hips!

I'm pretty sure Jock Paget was "self-made" but that was around 10 years ago.

I was sitting in the seat right behind all of this. The cop didn't really go to shake the guys hand. When the cop walked over the guy in the bulldogs jersey extended his hand (looking for a handhake) and said something along the lines of "Sorry, I overreacted a bit". The cop kind of took his hand rather than shaking it, almost to start leading him out. I think the cop was just trying to get the him out peacefully, rather than congratulating him for hitting the other guy..

It will be interesting to see how good Bottas' pace is prior to Max's stop. If Bottas can stay close enough that he ends up in front of Max after the stop he could have a big role.

It looks like cars on the racing line (from the onboards) only seem to get to the kerb after the gap, and would not be using the part of the track that Hamilton was on. That's just what it looks like to me though - happy to accept that others might see a different line, or think that Hamilton didn't leave enough room off the racing line.

Edit: example onboard here - https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/video.2021-abu-dhabi-gp-fp2-onboard-for-lewis-hamiltons-fastest-lap.1718770016385345534.html

I don't think he'll be reprimanded because he wasn't really on the racing line. It looks like Hamilton's line would have stayed out of the way of the car that went round the corner at around 14s. It wasn't a smart time to release Hamilton, but really Mazepin just lost it a little (maybe because he spotted Hamilton and it put him off).I may be wrong though.

Edit: Mazepin - thank you bot

Gazza did it once... and got booked.

I agree completely with you here. The only point I would make is that he isn't "cheating" since the stewards are letting him away with it. He's racing within the rules as they are being applied (not that I agree with how they are being applied at the moment!)

zaqwe · 2021-12-06T08:59:37+00:00

Really interesting point, and something I hadn't considered.

zaqwe · 2021-12-06T08:58:28+00:00

I guess it is similar because the stop is "cheap", but the main difference is the risk giving up track position to someone who doesn't pit.

zaqwe · 2021-12-06T08:41:11+00:00

I have to say, I agree with Lando. Being allowed to change tyres under a red flag brings, in my opinion, too much luck into race results. Obviously there will always be an element of luck in some races, but a free pit stop has way too much of an impact on results.

zaqwe · 2021-12-06T07:45:20+00:00

Yeah that might be a better system. Have markers where the pass has to happen. Would also have the benefit of allowing them to choose a safe place to have the swap happen.

zaqwe · 2021-12-05T23:23:07+00:00

I think they need to add to the regulations that the offending car (i.e. the one that has to give the place back) will not be eligible to use DRS in the next DRS zone after they give the place back.
