I never thought I'd be saying this, but England at EDIT: 3.4 might be worth a bet. It's going to be a surprisingly close finish.

Time for that joke again;
"Let us dispel with this fiction that Marco Rubio knows what he's doing, he doesn't know what he's doing."
Very close finish
Edit: Betfair odds about to cross. Eng 2.05.
Having said that I am all for an LD revival in Tory areas where LD are 2nd but think Clegg has knackered them as challengers in Lab areas for a while yet.
What do you reckon?
Again England will pay for not using the last two overs.
Good arbing by you BTW
England could do this.
No financial interest from me in this innigs
Grr, should have let that 2/1 ride...
There is a great photo from an actual PB meet on here... McMurphy was taking the pic
That nice of them, they take all the money out of Greece (insert usual observations about bailing out French and German banks) and now they can't afford to secure their borders properly, the EU is not going to help them, its going to cut them off and leave the to drown in a sea of pissed of refugees/migrants sitting in camps at their border points. The EU's self image as the "international brotherhood of free western nations" takes another pasting.
Quite. And then they wonder why Leave is leading the polls.
Wonder if Greece will go limp and issue them with EU passports.
A repeat of last Spring/Summer would likely kill the EU.
I think 3 months will be well to late, and the idea that a few border guards looking at passports is going to stop 100k+ people per month going anywhere seems a touch fanciful. I also don't see how that stops people taking a right at the Greek border and going through Macedonia or Bulgaria, through Serbia and into the heart of the EU.
quiet?
soul searching?
romantic?
laid back?
SA 1.6, Eng 2.5
Tie at 25.
I doubt it, because if the EU goes tits up, a non zero chance, then they'll have totally f#cked themselves.
UKIP don't really exist after a leave vote, and they'd be well advised to immediately disband.
I've got Elizabethan lutes to heavy metal. There's something about most rap and that whole thing that grates on my IQ.
I've only found one band I like that does gangsta stuff and they're Nigger BlueGrass as a brand. They did the soundtrack for lots of Justified - Gangstagrass, the lyrics are very clever.

You may never have heard of them, but - The Be Good Tanyas
Alarming that I'm suggesting this, but - Seth Lakeman
I know you'll have your doubts, but - Blondie
A random selection. Let me know if you (unexpectedly) approve.
Edit: To add something classical - Villa-Lobos

Play 10 commandments - just for the leftie misogynists.
The migrants will largely be on foot, so they will have to "leave" the EU anyway to travel north from Greece. But its still farcical, there is a whole line of former Eastern block countries immediately east of Greece with completely porous borders that lead the whole way into Poland, which has massively long and sparsely guarded borders, and then they are in Germany.
Makes me run just a bit faster.
P.s. anyone back the tie?
I saw Queen, minus Freddie, last year, and they were excellent. Freddie did make a video appearance and the effect was stunning.
That was a giveaway by England. Failed to use all their overs then missed too many chances in the field.
Fifth and final match on Sunday 14th. I think Mrs Sandpit may be a little upset if I'm watching too much of that one!

However that hasn't stopped the immigration wave, so I suspect that any suspension will not have much impact on the problem.
I am put off by both sides of the argument,I am definitely not a Kipper, I do not read the express, or the mail for that matter.
Just cannot see me siding with Farage and the Kippers, but not sure about remaining either.
Plenty of time yet to decide.
As I linked to on the previous thread - Public Service Broadcasting. Just awesome.
Some American roots music - Pokey Lafarge. Fantastic.
Some Australian strangeness - CW Stoneking. A 40 year old white man who sounds like a 70 year old black blues man.
If you fancy folk - Show of Hands.
First a bit too Lou Reed suicide
Loved the second by The Staves, new to me
Third, too pop opera for me
Adored and remember Murray Head! Saved that one xxx
O Jays! Great tune
Icicle Works - bit too frantic
Many thanx for all, plenty to dig into.
One of my favourites
"Haul away boys, let them go
Out in the wind and the rain and snow
We've lost more than we'll ever know
'Round the rocky shores of England"
