@Ringo26 How do you determine the B team? I would say the best way to do it is have a cap budget i.e. at the start of the series no player can have more than 10 caps. Or the match day 23 can not have more than a combined total of 200 caps.

A three test series against France in SA. B teams only. Call it: Tests of Depth

Someone suggested posting daily on @x for six months. Basically create content for 182 days straight. The reason being that, that is when the algorithm will kick in and start promoting your tweets. They advised talking about the thing/s you are an expert on. It’s a bit disconcerting that I have made it to 50 years old & there is really nothing I am an expert on. Diddly squat.

The only thing that takes my mind off work completely is painting. It must be a left side / right side brain thing. Now my painting is not very good (possibly straying into awful) but I enjoy it simply because it clears my mind for a few hours. So far have only tried oil painting but I have signed up for a pen and ink watercolour class so we'll see what happens. Attached is one of my first attempts at a still life.

@bialoglowy @aviationbrk Not only safety but departure reliability as well. If you want to fly fancy fly any other airline, if you want to arrive on time fly Ryanair.

@aviationbrk Would not fly with Ryanair even for free. Absolutely the worst airlines.

BREAKING: Ryanair passenger reportedly saved from being sucked out the cabin after window fails during a flight from Thessaloniki to Memmingen. According to local media Ryanair flight FR1879, a Boeing 737-8AS, returned safely to Greece on Friday after part of a damaged engine reportedly detached and struck a cabin window. A 61-year-old man, who is from Serbia upon the return of the plane, was taken to AHEPA and will undergo a CT scan to see if he has fractures. Speaking about the incident, the president of POEDIN (Panhellenic Federation of Public Hospital Employees), stressed that there was almost a tragedy, as a window was broken, the body of a passenger came out in the air and was restrained by his wife. The 61-year-old is currently at AHEPA with friction burns.

@wmarybeard @dropoutnation I think you are 100% correct. The issues facing this country are, in part, because too many citizens have abdicated their political responsibilities. We should all be involved and interested. The country would be far better off.

@dropoutnation Politics is EVERYONE’S area, I would argue. Isn’t that the point?

Mary Beard is a great classicist. But politics isn't her area.

Banning second jobs is a terrible idea. All it will do is ensure that anyone who is successful in life outside of politics, will stay out of politics leaving the door open for those who have achieved nothing in life, like my own MP. Banning second jobs will be one of the biggest accelerators of the decline of the UK.

Top 3 meals for fat loss 1. Lean ground beef and potatoes 2. Glop: Greek yogurt, psyllium husk, berries, and whey protein What would you choose as the 3rd meal?

@easyJet why don’t you tell us where? Why make us search, lose the will to live and give up? If you want us to book, make it easy. Reduce friction.

@OpsoFacto @paulg Thanks for taking time to produce that. Very helpful.

Today I learned how to use a 1975 Huer Calculator watch's bezel as a multiplication table. In the pictured example, we see how to align the value 1 on the outer ring with the value 2.3 on the inner ring. The numbers on each ring are specially spaced in a pattern that matches the product of multiplying the inner ring value determined as that aligned at outer ring point 1 by the numbers on the outer ring all the way around. I annotated @paulg's picture to make this easy for me to understand, and maybe it helps you, too.

Behold the amazing Heuer Calculator of 1975. The bezel is a slide rule! And it's in the process of doing an infinite number of calculations simultaneously: everything times 23. 17 times 23, for example, as you can see is 391.

@DuncanBannatyne Have you ever considered running for public office? I’d vote for you.

Correct

@paulg Is that full contact? If so, fair play to the staff at the school. Rugby is a great developmental tool for young kids.

At our kids' school in England, the boys all play competitive rugby against other schools starting at age 7.

@CoachDanGo @CrossFit

What improved your quality of life so much you wish you did it sooner?

@paulg My grandfather left me his. Got pinched in Johannesburg. Bitterness stills reigns supreme.

A friend bought his first golden age watch. You can't go wrong with a Constellation.

This will simply make more people sing it. Surely the best course of action is laugh it off and move on. Why draw attention to it? I didn’t know there was a song until it got banned. During apartheid in RSA whenever something got banned it grew in popularity like Sixto Rodriguez music.

Perhaps the host nation could intervene and explain to FIFA their culture of free speech

How You React to @elonmusk's Success Says A Lot About You

Fitting that @DjokerNole was waving the chequered flag for @LewisHamilton - supposedly old guys showing the youngsters how it’s done. Great work lads.

Come on @LewisHamilton great result. Have waited a long time to see you win in red. What a great way to do it. Completely dominated.

Democrats could be telling an incredible story: The world’s first trillionaire is an African immigrant who came to America and built world-changing companies. But they won’t. Because it’s Elon. Because he’s white. Because he doesn’t fit the narrative. So they turned an immigrant success story into a villain story. It was never about immigrants. It was about control.

@mitri_drake @JamesonZaballos @paulg Nonsense. Him and Talulah get married.

@JamesonZaballos @paulg Everyone dies.

Some good books.
