Arguably more disastrous for South Africa if it's abandoned. They pretty much have to win - though obviously their chances are anyway getting slim now.

I said not a word about you, I said your claim is nonsense. And it is. You cannot for a single second assume that Vettel would have won that race when Hamilton didn't need to overtake him to win. To do so is preposterous. Again, that's not saying that he would have done, it's not saying that...

Indeed we'll never know, which is why your comment about Vettel deserving it when Hamilton plainly wasn't even trying to pass him is unutterable nonsense.

Irrespective of the rightness or wrongness, Vettel crossed the line first because Hamilton didn't need to overtake him. Suggesting that Vettel should have won because he crossed the line first is nonsense.

Um. I wasn't remotely thinking of you. I was referring to the press corps.

Can't help but notice that even the usual suspects aren't defending Harris here. The silence speaks volumes.

Yes, but you aren't allowed to show it to anyone without their permission. That's why you have all those messages about calls being recorded for training purposes

Nope, if you do that then the bails will sit proud raising the height of the stumps. They'd have to make the stumps a bit shorter. They could water the holes, that would make them more inclined to fall off.

Well timed sir. ;-)

Not sure there's any indication whatever that City are after FFP as a whole. They made their angle of attack abundantly clear when they used the phrase "hostile process". It's not the rules, it's the application of them and the belief that they are being politically abused to target one club.

To all intents and purposes, your "easily" includes having to buy millions of pounds worth of additional equipment, just for potential rain delays - and if that happens on the days there are two games, that's two lots of that millions of pounds worth of equipment you're talking about. This is...

Didn't he openly admit he'd been rubbish and went off to do some training? Fair enough that. For all their ragginess, both Neville brothers come across as fairly well adjusted.

It is, but there's no avoiding that as an issue, and the round robin mitigates it as much as possible. Everyone would love reserve days, but it's not practical because of the costs of tv equipment that has to move from venue to venue, and can't be in two places at once.

To say the least.

At this point, it's customary to highlight a British officer who has the greatest biographical entry in Wikipedia, bar none: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Carton_de_Wiart Lieutenant General Sir Adrian Paul Ghislain Carton de Wiart[1] VC, KBE, CB, CMG, DSO (5 May 1880 – 5 June 1963)...

It's quite often not the ones the public know that are held in the greatest esteem. I had a conversation with an American friend who idly wondered why there were so few great British generals. There are plenty of course, but I gently reminded him that a naval power with (usually) a small army...

Yep. That's what I mean - most have heard of the Marshall Plan, ask them about the man though...

That's a great post. He's condemned to have his name known to posterity without the man himself being recognised as he should.

The US were fighting a rather big war in the Pacific. And (just about) at this point, the RN was the biggest navy in the world. From this point onwards, US power surpassed British in every way. Hence the original point that you can consider D Day Britain's last as a superpower. If you want the...

George Lansbury is your clue. He's one of Corbyn's heroes.
