@gsandral I think it effectively is, isn’t it? It’s per days of national usage.

Probably best shown per capita to be fare.

@stationmum101 Was it a pink Pony Club?

My pony club instructor was called Narelle.

@RDPHistory Sadly I never got to visit, but I worked with colleagues who did and published this, which was a big deal in a very very small field for a while… researchgate.net/profile/Paula-…

March 18th 1947: Signy Island base was opened on the South Orkney Islands, British Antarctica. Today, Signy still studies ecological science in Antarctica and conservation of the world's largest Southern Petrel population.

@WG_RumblePants Regardless or actual rank, surely Richie’s position as to have a “chew” in it?

I know many people miss the sound of Richie’s voice on commentary. He’s probably still widely regarded as the best tv cricket commentator. But, if Richie remains at #1, who would you put at #2? I’m genuinely interested to see who people pick. Radio commentators need not apply!

@WG_RumblePants I’ve played pub league here. The view is rather distracting when you’re trying to field…

Go on - have a bonus beautiful cricket ground: the home of Menai Bridge CC in Wales

@stationmum101 The Tizer’s headline should win an award…

What is even happening?

@stationmum101 Within days of contacting another MtB council member who later publicly confirmed their candidture for the other major party, the email address I used started receiving party political emails from that party. Governance issues are indeed widespread.

This is pretty basic governance stuff. I have to question A) why a mayor doesn’t understand this; and B) why aren’t political candidates explicitly instructed in the correct way to behave? (Because obviously it can’t be left to their own judgment). The number of pollies from every party who are woefully inept at basic governance is a huge concern.

@Prof_Braj_Singh @Nature @alpedrinhoBR @vandeHeijdenLab @FAOLandWater @theGSBI @SoilAssociation @soilecol @SoilScienceAust @EU_ENV @UNEP @UNBiodiversity @westsyduhie @CropGlobal Seems like a more nuanced title would support this finding: "Seventy per cent of the observed significant effects on the diversity of bacterial gene groups and 84% of the effects on fungal gene groups were positive."

@icelandcricket I’d sit this one out if I were you… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyjafjall…

For a minute, we thought we were reading one of those crazy Welsh place names.

@ManchesterSGs I guess there is a precedent of sorts…

This is a game that really doesn’t help itself, does it? #ashes25 #Cricket

@beastieboy07 Either they’re planning where to head to the beach, or they’re trying to work out how late they can leave the tail end capitulation and still get 18 holes in

Ben Stokes & Joe Root leave the Adelaide Oval nearly 2 hours post the close of play on Day 4 with the #Ashes now nearly surrendered. Wonder what the conversations are like & wonder what the collective emotions must be like

@agronomistag Yep, every tonne of grain, straw, fibre or meat that leaves the farm takes with it kilos of N, K, P, S and other nutrients. If you don’t replace them you are mining not farming. If you’re not replacing these elements you aren’t by definition sustainable.

@beastieboy07 They need to be careful not to over prepare 😉

Hometown boys, Travis Head and Jake Weatherald, the last two batters in the nets facing the new ball on the eve of the Adelaide Test. Australia’s new opening partnership is here to stay #Ashes

@Scarpenter_67 @WG_RumblePants Well, two of them clearly have not been.

@inverted_soil @WG_RumblePants If the games are sensational I would

A scroll through X suggests that many England fans have lost all patience with the players and the management. I’m beginning to wonder if they’re now the most unpopular England team this century. Or maybe it’s just X and sentiment out in the real world is more measured.

@Scarpenter_67 @WG_RumblePants But if it’s only 4-0 due to inevitable rain at the SCG you’d mark it down as a roaring success?

@inverted_soil @WG_RumblePants If it ends up a whitewash then I'll concede a rethink is definitely in order

@WG_RumblePants @Scarpenter_67 Like the Aussies have? Now there’s an idea….

@Scarpenter_67 @inverted_soil Can’t there be a moderation of approach - the much called for Bazball with Brains? I’m not sure it’s a binary choice.

@Scarpenter_67 @WG_RumblePants Hardly reactionary. How many five-test series against world class teams has it resulted in us winning?

@WG_RumblePants Playing such entertaining cavalier cricket will either produce unforgettable glorious victories or will inevitably at times end in humiliating defeat. Reactionary fans will simply express their views based on the last result

@WG_RumblePants The differences this time are that this is a weaker Australian side than anything since 2010/11, at the same time as the England side having the biggest rift between potential and actual performance. They have been in genuine match winning positions in both matches.
