I’ll be watching on YouTube tomorrow. my dad is going to the ground with friends.
Soundly beating minor county west for a second time should quieten their noisy supporters on here. 😌
Edit. To actually answer your question, Strauss plan wouldn’t happen till 2024, so how do they choose the super 6 from next years two divisions? Any div 2 promotion is about 5 relegated?
It would be four relegated and randomly divided into conferences with the 8 division two counties, I assume.
But that's one of the details they clearly haven't thought of.
Along with reality, fiscal probity and the large swathes of th country they would strip of top level cricket.
(I was doing some sums yesterday. In order to cover the same amount of the population that lives in Australia's six Sheffield Shield cities, you would have to have 35 first class cricket teams in England and Wales. You get right down to Swindon before you have comparable numbers.)

Don’t know why you started composing those puns in our cricket thread. I would ask, but Ives gotta go to bed.
Yorkshire only need ten points from the match to stay up.
And not to be bankrupted by Gale's payout (whatever has been decided it won't be cheap). Or penalised by the ECB.
One sad note, is Patto’s last game after not being retained.
He might not be the only one. Even before this kicked off there were rumours about Yorkshire's finances. I fear it will be a very difficult winter for them.

Are there still cheap options? Like, I dunno, renting an RV and driving around Yellowstone? If it’s just accommodation that is the stinger, then there are ways around it if you’re flexible, surely?
RV rental is extortionate, and then there’s the pitch charges in campgrounds. Motels still by far the cheapest options.
We were thinking of a US road trip next year but decided not to because of the exchange rate. Doing Georgia instead.
Yes: RV rental rates are insane - often rivaling Five Star hotels once you include insurance and hook up fees
The people paying those rates must be system addicts.
RVs became incredibly popular during the pandemic, as you could travel and have a holiday, without braving airports and the like.
A pointless and damaging battle for the monarchy to engage in. Footage will out, they may as well let all of it be free for anyone to use.
The media had full live coverage of the lying in state, the memorial services, the funeral and for the first time, the accession council.
However the archive records are copyright of the Crown and it is up to the Crown how it wishes to allow the archive footage to be used
Glad we can dispense with the fatuous notion that the out of touch, privilege addicted throne warmers are at the service of the country and its people rather than the reverse.
Over the past 2 weeks we have had nothing but whinging from republicans like you that there has been far too much live coverage of the period of mourning for the Queen, the lying in state and funeral.
So don't you dare turn round now and have the cheek and hypocrisy to say there will not be enough archive footage of it available which you would never watch anyway!!
What evidence do you have for the strange assertion that the Crown owns the copyright on (eg) the BBC’s coverage of the funeral ?
And if the national broadcaster, funded by us, spent an entire fortnight almost exclusively using those resources to produce what was at least partly an extended PR exercise on behalf of the Crown, why should the BBC not be able to use the resulting archive ?
Well the obvious evidence for the assertion is the story itself. If they had no such rights then the story would have no basis, and the broadcasters wouldn't allegedly be muttering about it.
Copyright isn’t mentioned in the piece, It sounds like the monarchy expecting a deference so broad that they should be told to shove it, as a matter of principle.
… One particular bone of contention is the palace’s assertion that it has a veto over the use of footage of King Charles III’s accession council. This was the lengthy event where the new monarch was formally proclaimed in a televised ceremony involving leading politicians, overseen by Penny Mordaunt.
Broadcasters have been told they are allowed to retain a maximum of 12 minutes of footage from this constitutionally important occasion. Longer clips would need to be a cleared with the royal household...
As I’ve said before, I’m not a republican, but sheer arrogance like this leads me to think about reconsidering that.
Given most of your posts on the monarchy here have been whinging ones like this I think the idea you are not a republican already is debateable.
No previous monarch has allowed coverage of the accession council at all, either live or archived, so the broadcasters should count themselves lucky they got any. They got full live coverage and 12 minutes of archive
“Count themselves lucky”… That’s the kind of cringing attitude towards what is supposed to be a constitutional monarchy, subject to Parliament, that I was criticising.
The public watched it live, the monarchy has no obligation to give the broadcasters unrestricted archive
It’s not theirs to give.
Yes it is based on the contract broadcasters were given to cover it

At RV Parks, you want a space to park, and to plug into their power and water systems.
In fancy locations (like National Parks), you can be paying $100+ night for your parking spot.

Someone was commenting on hotel costs in the US, and had come up with £350/night if near a major metropolitan area and "are being frugal".
I don't actually think that's true.
I mean it may be true if you're staying in Manhattan or Santa Monica or Beverly Hills, but it's not true in general.
I've stayed at the acceptable but non-luxurious Ocean Park Inn in Santa Monica for about $160 per night. It's a couple of stops on the Big Blue Bus, or an $8 Uber, or a long walk, from the Pier. And of course, if you have a car, no problem at all.

Hard to get a Handel on what's going to happen. Sure if they do drop, they'll be Bach.
In April of this year, my family went to the DC area for a six night holiday. We rented a three bedroom house over the river in Arlington, and very close to a supermarket and the Metro.
We spent $140/night for the four of us. We got cereal and tea and milk (and a bottle of red wine) for a few tens of dollars from the Giant supermarket over the road.
We went to the Air & Space Museum and a ton of galleries. I also rented a car for three days ($80/day on Turo) so we could visit friends in Virginia and to see some battlefields outisde the city. We also ate out almost every evening. Mostly we walked or took the Metro, but we probably also took a few Ubers.
Our total expense, pre-flights, was in the $2-2,500 range. But that is for four of us. And I wasn't noticeably skimping. So not cheap. But not the bare minimum £5k for two that was posited earlier.

Biden adviser: US will ‘respond decisively’ if Russia uses nuclear weapons
https://thehill.com/homenews/sunday-talk-shows/3660107-biden-adviser-us-will-respond-decisively-if-russia-uses-nuclear-weapons/ White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan on Sunday said the United States will “respond decisively” if Russian President Vladimir Putin moves to use nuclear weapons. “We have communicated directly, privately, at very high levels, to the Kremlin that any use of nuclear weapons will be met with catastrophic consequences for Russia, that the United States and our allies will respond decisively. And we have been clear and specific about what that will entail,” Sullivan told CBS…
To me that translates as, Biden has told Putin personally that he will nuke the fuck out of Moscow the instant Russia nukes anyone.
Biden's age and dodderiness is a plus here, because Putin will think that if he were Biden he would be thinking Had a good innings, go out leaving a reputation as a Strong Man, what's the downside?
ok lets assume russia uses a battlefield nuclear weapon in ukraine....do we nuke moscow in that eventuality leading to an inevitable devastating nuclear strike on the west or do we instead launch a devastating conventional attack on russias forces...the 2nd option seems wiser to me
The second option is rather more likely to be Biden’s, too.
You forget governements have always seen war as a means of culling the poor by ensuring massive casualties. You have confidence they havent come to an agreement on nukeable targets?

I think it's the cornflower sauce. I mean the underlying dish is bad, but how on God's green earth when you're asked 'Would you like me to pour a load of this all over your meal?' and it looks like that, is the answer 'Yes please' ??
Help pls. Does a pre 2007 enduring ? Power of attorney which mentions financial and affairs but not mentioning health specifically , cover someone eg his daughter to sign as power of attorney for a medical.investigation where authority is required and patient not capable. ?
If no one has Medical POA then the decision to go ahead in a patient without capacity to consent lies in a best interests decision between clinicians and relatives in regular contact. So it sounds possible to go ahead if all agreed.
One thing is, I thought it was impossible to vote Boris 2024, I now find it impossible to vote Liz 2024, but how is it possible to vote any tory 2024 under the current election rules? Because I genuinely thought Boris was −273.15 °C, and now Truss has effortlessly surpassed him in less than a week (net of obsequies). How can I ever afford to vote tory knowing that there's no limits on what the membership can impose on the country?
Vicious circle, because you can't stand for election for leadership by the elderly sheep on a withdrawing the vote from the elderly sheep ticket. For all I know the sheep get a vote on the rule change anyway - does anyone know if that is right? If so I can see no way out except a new party.
Howard tried to change the rules in 2005 and he failed. But I'm not sure whether it was ever put the membership or whether it was MPs that vetoed it.
i dont think democracy has ever been tested like this with such a large part of the electorate oaps with no skin in the game. They dont work so dont care much about tax and national insurance...nor do they see the change in culture in the modern workplace. They dont have a mortgage so dont care that much about interest rates. Many dont even go out that much so arent hit as much by the rising cost of living. There has to be a case to restrict voting to the working age population.
Most of those comments also apply to the unemployed and part time workers as well shall we strike them off the register too?

Turnout in Italy down, despite visibly longer queues:
"According to media reports, the sluggishness is due to an “anti-tampering sticker” devised to counter fraud. The sticker has an alphanumeric code and is applied to a corner of the ballot. An authorised worker at the polling station removes it before inserting the ballot in the ballot box."

I do like Arbroath fish and chip shops. A smokie, nuked in the microwave with a pat of butter inside, plus a poke of chips: a very nice dinner on the harbour wall.
Also, Henry VIII had a good go at ruining all the abbeys and monasteries he could get at, before then. No, seriously, the ones north of Tweed and Solway.
In April of this year, my family went to the DC area for a six night holiday. We rented a three bedroom house over the river in Arlington, and very close to a supermarket and the Metro.
We spent $140/night for the four of us. We got cereal and tea and milk (and a bottle of red wine) for a few tens of dollars from the Giant supermarket over the road.
We went to the Air & Space Museum and a ton of galleries. I also rented a car for three days ($80/day on Turo) so we could visit friends in Virginia and to see some battlefields outisde the city. We also ate out almost every evening. Mostly we walked or took the Metro, but we probably also took a few Ubers.
Our total expense, pre-flights, was in the $2-2,500 range. But that is for four of us. And I wasn't noticeably skimping. So not cheap. But not the bare minimum £5k for two that was posited earlier.
Cheapest hotel in downtown washington dc i can see in october is around £270 a night with average around £420. Bear in mind prices have likely inflated considerably since April

Had a very nice outing to that burgh a few years back when they had a special dinosaur exjhibition at the Carnegie Birthplace (A. C. having funded Diplodocus carnegiei and its plaster casts in e.g. South Kensington). Quite a royal palace and abbey modified, as elsewhere, to a parish kirk.

A pointless and damaging battle for the monarchy to engage in. Footage will out, they may as well let all of it be free for anyone to use.
The media had full live coverage of the lying in state, the memorial services, the funeral and for the first time, the accession council.
However the archive records are copyright of the Crown and it is up to the Crown how it wishes to allow the archive footage to be used
Glad we can dispense with the fatuous notion that the out of touch, privilege addicted throne warmers are at the service of the country and its people rather than the reverse.
Over the past 2 weeks we have had nothing but whinging from republicans like you that there has been far too much live coverage of the period of mourning for the Queen, the lying in state and funeral.
So don't you dare turn round now and have the cheek and hypocrisy to say there will not be enough archive footage of it available which you would never watch anyway!!
What evidence do you have for the strange assertion that the Crown owns the copyright on (eg) the BBC’s coverage of the funeral ?
And if the national broadcaster, funded by us, spent an entire fortnight almost exclusively using those resources to produce what was at least partly an extended PR exercise on behalf of the Crown, why should the BBC not be able to use the resulting archive ?
Well the obvious evidence for the assertion is the story itself. If they had no such rights then the story would have no basis, and the broadcasters wouldn't allegedly be muttering about it.
Copyright isn’t mentioned in the piece, It sounds like the monarchy expecting a deference so broad that they should be told to shove it, as a matter of principle.
… One particular bone of contention is the palace’s assertion that it has a veto over the use of footage of King Charles III’s accession council. This was the lengthy event where the new monarch was formally proclaimed in a televised ceremony involving leading politicians, overseen by Penny Mordaunt.
Broadcasters have been told they are allowed to retain a maximum of 12 minutes of footage from this constitutionally important occasion. Longer clips would need to be a cleared with the royal household...
As I’ve said before, I’m not a republican, but sheer arrogance like this leads me to think about reconsidering that.
Hmmmm. I was thinking that the whole queue jumping business was bad for the Monarchy because it made them look like sycophants to the media who had to been given 'privileges.' Don't they realise they anyone could simply have recorded it all on the TV?
if you are in favour of a monarchy then surely you are implicitly backing queue jumping.

It doesn't, but that in some ways makes it more straightforward.
If there is a medical POA then they have to agree, if no one does then the Best Interests process applies. It only becomes a problem if family disagree with clinicians or amongst themselves.

Andrea if you're about why do the polls close so late in Italy? 11pm v 6pm Germany, 8pm France, Spain, Sweden etc. Guessing it's a hangover from when it used to be Sunday + Monday morning voting? UK closes earlier and we vote on a weekday!
And also you have one vote for each house (Chamber & Senate) but each vote counts for both the FPTP and PR results so you don't have separate FPTP and PR ballots as you would in Germany or Scotland?

Historically we used to vote until 10 pm. Then, yes, during Berlusconi years, he added Monday voting until 5pm. Now they got rid of Monday but extended Sundays to 11pm.
