@skepticalzebra @jengleruk One day the closure of schools will be like the Iraq war, you won't be able to find anyone who supported it

@DavidHollidge Not wrong. Only place I have ever had food poisoning

@PaveyOwen45415 @LancsCCMG The article doesn't say that though. Surrey has shown how to get a younger audience interested in watching red ball. They showed it the love and respect it deserved by publicising it to their online audience and making the match day experience as good as possible.

@LancsCCMG An article which features as it's main photo a photo of an empty Northamptonshire County Ground during a County Championship match. And you think taking The Hundred away and going back to what we had prior to 2020 is going to get the young interested in watching red ball?

@justnotcrkpod @NoContextCounty Duckett and Crawley have s better opening partnership average.....

@NoContextCounty Strauss and Cook could do a job

Who are your England openers?

Rocky batting in the nets at lunch. Looks pretty good to me. Hopefully he's fully fit to play a four day game soon.

@DavidHollidge I moved to London in my 20s with a strong Lancashire accent. I recall people making similar assumptions. Being underestimated made me work harder & smarter. When I did a lot of media, I found that producers/public valued the authenticity. A great face for radio!

@DavidHollidge I don't agree with that at all. I don't want to start listing from the bottom but I like a NE England accent. Authentic, warm and iconic.

@DavidHollidge Richard Burton - Major Smith (Schmidt). Where Eagles Dare

@DavidHollidge Did you grow up with lambs liver? I did and it put me off for a long time. Calves liver cooked properly is though very good

@DavidHollidge Go to Nantucket or the Cape Cod peninsula whilst you are there, unless in peak summer. Very cool flight from Boston to Nantucket.

@DavidHollidge Houston was the least impressive of the three but it was 30 years ago.

@DavidHollidge 14 - the first 12, Dallas and Houston

@L3VJN @YorkshireCCC You've managed to get a plumber to visit in the morning?

Can’t criticise @YorkshireCCC for lack of forward thinking! 10 years notice of the AGM is outstanding - shame I’m busy that day..

@teggy1971 @davidoncricket @jackrussellart Now I know why Stewie told me I was bowling too fast in the nets!

Never seen this before, what were your thoughts @jackrussellart at the time.

@rcolvile @IGMansfield I refer you to Auberon Waugh on the local council

This is the perfect summary of why regulation can be so pointless/damaging. Hundreds of people love this cafe. It's always full. Closing it would do active damage to the community. And yet... thetimes.com/article/6d2789…

2. The impact is to create unacceptable control by the Board. If these resolutions succeed, then it’s effectively the end of Lancashire CCC being a members Club, since members would be giving up some of their rights and much of their ability to influence.

Reminds me of Sophie Scholl.

@Madz_Grant I would refer you to Auberon Waugh when it comes to the local council. alanhigham.wordpress.com/2014/05/14/bes…

I've noticed, when dealing with the council, that absolutely everything is conducted via post. It's probs useful to receive hard copies for some things, but many people have busy lives/jobs and may be out of their home for much of the day. Emails can be replied to immediately

@davidoncricket Members don't run county cricket. In many counties they aren't even allowed to stand for election to their board unless they meet incredibly narrow selection criteria.

Rod Bransgrove criticizes members for holding the game back and the power base “held by so few people”. Is the number of CEOs higher or lower than the number of members?

@cjsnowdon Our economies are an awful lot weaker and more indebted?

Can someone explain to me why oil being the same price as it was in 2011-14 (and much lower in real terms) is a crisis now but wasn't a crisis then?

@paullewismoney So they can extend the payment period before writing off?

@alanhigham100 Only the cost.

It’s psychologically horrible to have such a debt. But it doesn’t matter. She’ll never pay off her loan. She’ll pay extra 9% income tax above Plan 2 threshold, £29,385 from April, which will mean less disposable income, but after 30 years, however massive, debt will disappear.
