"Yes. One is active the other passive. If you claim a catch you didnt you are deliberately informing the umpire of a lie. If you dont walk you are waiting for the umpire to make a decision. Which is the umpires decision to make."
I could argue the point if it was an edge but this wasn't even a decision that required an appeal. It was off the face of the bat and into second slips hand.
And in answer to your earlier question I wasn't a bad cricketer. I played for my house which at the time had three players who went on to play for their counties (all bowlers)
The umpire makes such a decision. It is not for the likes of us to question the wisdom of the ump. Right or Wrong he makes the decisions. And we let him.
I congratulate you on your school career. Had you played after school, even at a village level, I suspect your perspective on walking would be different.
Anyway lets applaud a great days play from England and especially the much maligned (by me as well) Ian Bell. Excellent, important and potentially career defining knock.
Fair play to Bell, that was one hell of an innings.
Surprised Alim Dar missed the Broad edge, he is usually very good. There is no way any Australian can complain about Broad not walking. The way the wicket's playing we need a few more yet. A big morning session tomorrow.
I've just seen the worst cricket decision ever. Broad gave a catch to slip and held his ground. The umpire was asleep. The school I went to you'd either have been expelled or dropped for at least a season for doing what Broad did.
Rightly so in my opinion.It's just not cricket.....come on Australia
If I remember correctly, I believe Stuart Broad is a member of UNITE.
It might explain his odd behaviour, Roger.
I doubt it is anything to do with his schooling at Oakham School, Rutland.
Bet you school meals are compulsory there.
By the way Tim, only just noticed your garbage from the previous thread. Clearly the question of school uniforms is not the same as that of school meals since uniforms are not imposed by central government whilst that is the suggestion for school meals.
So once again your diversionary tactics and conflation of arguments fall flat.
John O'Farrell @mrjohnofarrell Just got an email from Ed Miliband asking if I'd ever thought about being a Parliamentary candidate. Does he not read the papers?
I wonder how big the overlap is of people who want to ban all the legal drugs and legalize all the illegal ones. They could have their own "naturally contrary" party.
No surprise re the Greens in HEG. Parking charges. Like I said ages ago.
The idea that a school would dare ignore a food/whatever allergy is ridiculous. The last three schools I've been in have been/gone nut-free (though some orgs are against this as it doesn't prepare kids to cope with a nut-filled world...). Plus in the last five schools I've been in regular epipen training has been compulsory.

Dreamliner fire,as noted by Carlotta,the fire does appear to be remote from the previously suspect batteries. However even if this is a completely seperate incident the public perception will be the Dreamliner is "a bad'un",best to avoid. Apparently a second Dreamliner has aborted an Atlantic crossing flight and returned to the UK,no further details. I am normally entirely logical about these things,but now not sure I want to fly on a Dreamliner,suspect many others will feel the same way.

Although I'm in favour of plain packets for ciggies and minimum pricing for them and for alcohol, to be consistent, we should look at all things that cause harm. Gambling is an addiction that for some people causes actual harm (mental if not physical),
Would we want more taxes on betting?. Perhaps a dealers' fee for OGH to continue pushing this harmful product?

Cynical perhaps, but what are you planning to do with all these extra years you get ? it's not as if you're going to be starting a career in break dancing.

Free and compulsory makes sense. I wouldn't expect the jailing of heads who didn't comply.
But if a tiny group of parents want to set up their own Free Schools where they can take their packed lunches and unvaccinated children with optional school uniforms then I'm sure Gove will fund them.
At the first morning of the academic year I get my new Sixth Formers together for a chat about responding to the demands of Post-16 questions and tasks. The first point of my, rather, though necessarily, dull, speech is about the need to answer the question or task set rather than the one the student wishes had been set. Perhaps you Tim could come along. You might learn something about avoiding non sequiturs.

The govt finally come up with a sensible education policy, I support it, and look what happens.
Does the Boeing 787 come with batteries fitted or do you have to buy them separately?
Or as a wag on Twitter asked - do they allow fire extinguishers as carry-on luggage?
If you read the report about one of the battery fires, you'll see that you cannot extinguish the battery fires using any means - once they start, they continue burning as oxygen is a product of the combustion.
I'd bet on the aft power distribution board. They had a fire on one of those on a test flight, and there have been other problems with them in service:
I got into hot water on one Boeing blog in January, the day of the second battery fire, by stating that I reckoned Boeing didn't understand their electrical systems well enough. I reckon I was right...
(For the ungeeky, the 787 is the first 'all-electric' passenger aircraft, with many services previously provided by engine bleed air and hydraulics being done electrically. Which means you need to distribute much more electrical power and have larger, more powerful batteries).
Having said all that, it'll be a different cause. One fire on a ?A310? a decade ago was caused by a stewardess leaving a kettle on in the galley ...

Oddly, the MHRA announced a few weeks ago that electronic cigarettes will be regulated as medicines. Electronic cigarettes - where you inhale four or five chemicals plus flavourings, therefore, will face more regulation, and be harder to buy, than cigarettes do, where you inhale thousands of chemicals, some unknown.
I have a step-daughter who is studying to be a chef at Westminster Kingsway at Victoria. Where Jamie Oliver trained for example. She seems to be really good at it - the only student in her first year who got a distinction and has all sorts of good Michelin-starred work placements over the summer.
I thought that this was a really good career choice. She got pretty good A Levels and could have gone off and done a good humanities degree at a good university but she is very focused and decided that she wants to be a chef. So, good thing, she won't be coming out with the millstone of student debt but, bad thing, she is not eligible for a student loan because the course is technically FE rather than HE. She is moving into student accommodation in London from September and I do my best to support her but it is a struggle.
So question for the PB glitterati; does anyone know of any scholarships/bursaries for trainee chefs? This isn't my world and googling does not reveal anything.
Check out scholarships / bursaries firstly from the college and secondly from your own area. I have used these for my students in the past. You may be surprised but often there are various grants available in your area available for education. Mainly bequests from some rich old lady / old man. In my experience they tend to just sit there doing nothing. So check with your local library / LEA. It they may not be much say 500 quid but anything helps.

As an ex-smoker, current drinker and very occasional gambler, I wouldn't dare lecture anyone on their habits. Here in Merseyside, you can get cask beer for £2.30 a pint but even that wouldn't be affected by the proposed minimum pricing for alcohol..
If people want to kill themselves, the best time to do it is just before they turn 65 (or whenever their pension is due). Think of the benefits to the population as a whole.
As regards break-dancing, it would take a bloody good drug to get me down and dirty. And it wouldn't be a pretty sight.

It's Cameron's posturing coming back to bite him
He postured and got rid of Anthony Steen, over expenses because he looked like the old Tory Party while people like Jeremy Hunt got away with worse. Then of course Wollaston was selected by open primary and ripped Lansley to shreds, so Cameron dropped his posturing on open primaries Then of course she supports Dave when he was posturing on tobacco and booze. Dave caves in because of lobbying, UKIP, Crosby, whatever, and she points out his hypocrisy.
Moral of the story. Cameron is weak and should stop posturing.
I see, it is all about posture.
Wollaston must be a chiropracter or osteopath offering holistic orthopedics.
Moral of the story. Discretion and a stiff upper lip is far more useful in a politician than a well formed spine.

AveryLP calling me "young" and tim asking for "head" has ever a delurker been flirted with such. I blush, I blush! Seriously though I prefer it when you both go at each other over fops and trade "figures".

I congratulate you on your school career. Had you played after school, even at a village level, I suspect your perspective on walking would be different.
Anyway lets applaud a great days play from England and especially the much maligned (by me as well) Ian Bell. Excellent, important and potentially career defining knock.
Surprised Alim Dar missed the Broad edge, he is usually very good. There is no way any Australian can complain about Broad not walking. The way the wicket's playing we need a few more yet. A big morning session tomorrow.
Has Fitch decided to follow its fellow countrymen by emigrating to London and paying homage to Osborne?
So once again your diversionary tactics and conflation of arguments fall flat.

Just got an email from Ed Miliband asking if I'd ever thought about being a Parliamentary candidate. Does he not read the papers?
The idea that a school would dare ignore a food/whatever allergy is ridiculous. The last three schools I've been in have been/gone nut-free (though some orgs are against this as it doesn't prepare kids to cope with a nut-filled world...). Plus in the last five schools I've been in regular epipen training has been compulsory.
Less is more Mr Pole, enjoy the silence from the Labour benches as they stare at their feet and realise they have nothing to say.
Apparently a second Dreamliner has aborted an Atlantic crossing flight and returned to the UK,no further details.
I am normally entirely logical about these things,but now not sure I want to fly on a Dreamliner,suspect many others will feel the same way.

Although I'm in favour of plain packets for ciggies and minimum pricing for them and for alcohol, to be consistent, we should look at all things that cause harm. Gambling is an addiction that for some people causes actual harm (mental if not physical),
Would we want more taxes on betting?. Perhaps a dealers' fee for OGH to continue pushing this harmful product?

I got into hot water on one Boeing blog in January, the day of the second battery fire, by stating that I reckoned Boeing didn't understand their electrical systems well enough. I reckon I was right...
(For the ungeeky, the 787 is the first 'all-electric' passenger aircraft, with many services previously provided by engine bleed air and hydraulics being done electrically. Which means you need to distribute much more electrical power and have larger, more powerful batteries).
Having said all that, it'll be a different cause. One fire on a ?A310? a decade ago was caused by a stewardess leaving a kettle on in the galley ...
Where on earth did the Conservative Party find her?
Ugly white alcohol filled boxes with wild health warnings and horrific pictures of cirrhotic livers , car crash carnage and Wernicke-Korsakoff dements ?
I'm getting a sense that you're not a big fan of Cameron or the Tories. Is this right?
I'm planning on living forever. So far, so good.
As an ex-smoker, current drinker and very occasional gambler, I wouldn't dare lecture anyone on their habits. Here in Merseyside, you can get cask beer for £2.30 a pint but even that wouldn't be affected by the proposed minimum pricing for alcohol..
If people want to kill themselves, the best time to do it is just before they turn 65 (or whenever their pension is due). Think of the benefits to the population as a whole.
As regards break-dancing, it would take a bloody good drug to get me down and dirty. And it wouldn't be a pretty sight.

Wollaston must be a chiropracter or osteopath offering holistic orthopedics.
Moral of the story. Discretion and a stiff upper lip is far more useful in a politician than a well formed spine.
tim is merely a Tory agent provocateur - pay him no mind!

The Eton variant is 'in lectulo parentis'.
"“I only drink champagne when I'm happy and when I'm sad.
Sometimes I drink it when I'm alone.
When I have company I consider it obligatory.
I trifle with it if I'm not in a hurry and drink it when I am, otherwise I never touch the stuff unless I am thirsty."
"Champagne and orange juice is a great drink. The orange improves the champagne, and the champagne definitely improves the orange."
It is only when one recognises the need to improve an orange that one can begin to understand the educational policies of the right..
