loved this on the guardian obo.


""I'm reading this in Johannesburg where the summer has started, apparently, with a lot of turbulent weather and not enough blazing hot sunshine. I thought India were tremendous against Australia and I'm really looking forward to seeing England do a job against them. Don't be too tough on England early-doors, OK; give 'em a chance..." Tim they've already had their chance. I'm an English sports journalist and, as befits the heritage of my trade, I only have two gears: England are either the greatest team on earth or the shabbiest, there is no middle ground."

Some poor Englishman without the backbone to handle it who would be constantly on the brink of losing his position, nervous breakdown and severe IBS.


As Piers pointed out, as a nation you aren't exactly supportive of your players.

Just heard that the tour has been cancelled due to the terrorist attack in Bombay.


I understand why, it would be intolerable for the Indian security forces to have to up protection at this time, but it makes me mad when we give in to terrorism.

      GALA 2026

      By first mate · Posted

      There are lots of trees, shrubs, a pond and a large area of wild grass all of it which are habitat for a range of flora and fauna. Do you mean the common- that is mostly grass, some of it laid over an old car park? However, the festival won't use that bit, they prefer to be "nestled" within the park (more aesthetically pleasing for festival goers, who like to be 'at one with nature' while they enjoy the booming bass, and great marketing for the festival owners who can also use the plentiful trees as a sound barrier- it saves them forking out to mitigate the noise.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Sue · Posted

      That's very rude. Care to expand, rather than having a go at malumbu?  You think this solicitor with five one star reviews (and most people with complaints won't bother writing reviews) is perfectly proficient, and all the delays, non use of email communications  etc are his clients' fault?

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      Thank you for your explanation, which makes complete sense. Sadly I'm guessing that most of those who post on here, including me, are not familiar with the  holiday arrangements of the construction industry. Very sorry to have ventured an uninformed opinion 😀

      I live right next to the Rye and literally never notice any negatives of Gala. Another week sounds lovely for the people that enjoy it.  Also I have a PhD in ecology and can confirm that the rye is providing virtually no environmental benefits. It's almost entirely grass.
