Every time they do a close up of Rousso or Daly their eyes draw me in.
Don't know if I'm in love or just a crush, I'm too old for a mid-life crisis. 🥰👩❤️👨💕
just tediously desperate.

yeah I think the change of shape might help. We need to get a grip in midfield and stretch them

Bronze's fault. If you leave your position, don't lose the ball. Space wide open for Spain to exploit

We have our wish. Toone keeps her place! Come on England! time to bring it home

She doesn't deserve a start IMHO.
Who - Hemp or James? If you mean Hemp, I must call you out, sir, and it will be grass before breakfast!
If you mean James, then I agree. Her skillset's undeniable, but she's lazy and often dallies on the ball too long. She doesn't have the vision for her team mates and she has a selfish streak a mile wide. As a 21 year old striker that's expected, but we'll need a high work rate against Spain and she just doesn't bring that. If we had a full strength squad, she'd be an impact sub. As it is, in this squad...she should still be an impact sub for a world cup final. I'd pick the same team. They delivered against a high quality Aus side and no one deserves to be dropped for a player that stamped on someone.

Watched the game today, best they have played they were poor at the start but improving through the tournament is the way to win and I think they will.
This was the best they've played since losing the spine of the team: Williamson, Kirby, Mead and White. Hemp's run for the third goal was something else. Russo might have provided the coup de grace, but it was Hemp that did all the work!

I'm with @twenty. Leucism's very rare, but it's still the most likely option! If you get a photo of it, we might be able to give you a positive ID, but this sounds the likeliest option right now

I do like a lot of bands but Can't think of any better front man than Freddie
BTW I also saw the recent BBC Pulp concert, amazingly I'd never seen them before and I thought they were really good
Thumbs up for Jarvis cocker (I met a lady who's spaniel was called Jarvis which I thought amusing)
No I hadn't paid too much attention to them as a live act until recently; I was always an Oasis fan, but they're boring live. I then stumbled over Common People from Reading Festival and thought yeah, that's how good music live can be! I'd forgotten I had actually heard that gig live...from over 4.5 miles away. Where I used to live was up the hill on the other side of the Thames from Reading festival site. If the wind was in the right direction you could hear the festival pretty well. Some bands, like Pulp that year, didn't need the wind.
Site to house, as the Pulp flies

As The Ashes hit fever pitch and my nerves got ever more shredded, I found myself listening to Pulp, including some of their live performances. We started taking wickets just as I put them on, and got the job done simply because I refused to listen to anything else, so I am the unsung hero of Sunday.
But it got me thinking. Who are the best front men and women - excluding solo artists? I'm not a massive fan of Pulp, but Jarvis Cocker knows how to command a crowd. Their gig from Reading in 2011 and in particular Common People was a thing of wonder.
Any others? Regardless of whether, as in my case, you love the band or not

Is it just with PW, or is it with every website you open in this browser page? Phone, tablet or laptop?

Is it not still on the BBC then?! We love it. Absolutely brilliant from first episode to last and the Christmas special last year was superb. Wonderful show. I think McKenzie Crook is extremely proud of it - and rightly so. He's even taken up detecting because of it. In his research he found the detecting community so rich and warm that he couldn't resist

I’m looking for some cheap but decent enough binos for the kids, they are tagging along on my outdoor rambles and enjoying it!
Not to expensive, any recommendations appreciated
Thanks in advance
'Cheap but decent' might need some clarification! What kind of budget are you looking at? Don't forget the second hand market

Hi, it’s been a while since I’ve posted on here but I’ve got a interview on Thursday and running through some possible Competency questions
Does anyone have a good answer for this question ?
- Describe an instance where you had to make a decision between the priorities of a supervisor or a client.
thanks in advance 👍
@Dave at kelton's advice is good, however it does depend on your situation and career. There are plenty of times where the supervisor's priority will be safety and the client's will be getting the job done. In tree surgery, if the supervisor's not happy with the safety of a job, the client can argue until he's blue in the face, the job still shouldn't happen until the safety parameters are met. We'd just have to explain to the customer why his priorities can't supersede safety. That sort of thing isn't applicable in all lines of work, but it's something to think about?

Honestly have to start off from the bottom up again. My rods I had custom made in February with my kids names on have gone in a flash! Probably £4.5-5k of gear. Anything is a great start just to get out fishing
That should make them unique and thus hard to pass on? Some faint hope they might show up on sales sites.
Some appalling people out there.
I know you're after second hand stuff, but I've just picked up a couple of Sonik's Interceptors, cork handle and retractable. I wouldn't say they're worth the £170 RRP, but they're an absolute steal at £55/60 for either 3 or 3.25 TC rods.

Ugh. That's a pretty shoddy thing to happen. If only I was closer! I have a couple of Sonik 3lb TC 10ft rods for sale, that could have done! What sort of setup are you after? I have a few friends in that area, so if you have some specifics (length, TC, brand) I might be able to put some feelers out?

2 Sonik Dominator X RS 10ft rods for sale. Both in excellent condition and both barely been used. With rod sleeves.

Yup. Numerous examples of them nesting well inland. The map below is breeding season sightings. They can crop up anywhere inland really. I know they've bred regularly in Berkshire and Northamptonshire, and the Northern moorland areas have regular successful breeding pairs. For the Eurasian Oystercatcher, I wouldn't say they're quite as coastal-bound as that description would suggest, and I think the BTO data backs this up. They're more common on the coast, for sure, but there are plenty of inland areas they'll happily live on and exploit.
We only have one species of oystercatcher in the UK, but there are about a dozen in the genus. They're all basically alike, just varying amounts of black and white!

I’d probably be a bit more sympathetic if not supportive if they protested in the right places.
It isn’t the general public going about their daily lives they should be disrupting, it is the lives of the politicians and legislators they should be disrupting. Only they can make a difference . They won’t do this of course because it requires work and effort.
Let the general public get on with their lives.Indeed. But they go in for such infantile stunts that it's impossible to take them or their argument seriously. Is the World Snooker Championship really the place to make a sensible protest? Is Wimbledon? Lord's? Everyone just groans and then cheers security as they (and Jonny Bairstow) carry them off.
They need the general public on side, but it's the general public they're constantly upsetting. Childish fools - I can see why Hamilton likes them now.

The guy's a dullard. I'm bored of his idiotic virtue signalling and relentless moaning. A classless act.

You youngesters won't know what I am on about, but for us oldies, put these in your preferred order. This is mine.

Can of worms alert - possibly literally. There are legion of things it could be, sadly. Just because he's not found a bite mark, doesn't mean he hasn't got one. Hidden in hair or in places that are hard too inspect. It could be a waterborne bacterial infection he's picked up that's still lurking, or a virus. Or it could be something like a parasitic worm. Or...or...or...unfortunately those symptoms crop up in too many illnesses for a PW diagnosis to be possible
There's an England Women's cricketer called Kate Cross. She's had to have round after round of antibiotics for a tropical parasitic infection she picked up months ago. As someone who's been there with tropical nasties from travelling extensively in Africa, the only advice I can give is to make sure he's keeping a record of all the things he's being tested for, so if he gets punted on to a new specialist or clinic, he can tell them it's not this...this...this...and not rely on them reading the notes!

Yeah. As I feared at the beginning of the tournament, we just miss that bit of magic in the midfield, and the clinical finishing up front. They've done superbly to get to the final, but ultimately the team that created and finished the chances deserved to win.
