@ukboomers How much were you spending on Avocado toast back then?

Genuine question to millennials and gen-Z. What stops you from buying a house?

@oldmanradd @NorthantsCCC Saints almost scored as many points as Northants did runs...madness!
English
Take one hybrid pitch, two hooks, two nightwatchman openers, a bout of cramp, a runner and an Australian fast bowler in danger of spontaneous combustion. Oh, and a non-functioning floodlight. It all adds up to a bizarre final session for @NorthantsCCC at Bristol. And tomorrow?

@GrahamMcKechnie Did make me chuckle that the Tigers fans on Saturday calling him an arrogant annoying twerp (may have toned that down slightly) - this from the team that gave the world Austin Healey!

There is too much “hate” around on social media, especially on this platform.
If you “hate” a 21-year-old you have never met and who’s clearly having to the time of his life, then I’d suggest you’re the problem, not him.

You can hate Pollock all you want. But this is exactly why it's good for rugby Look at the difference in engagement and view count... If you hate him you're still helping. That's the nature of the world now. It will grow the online footprint of the game, like it or not. This is also why the 🦖 class of journalist don't like it either because the business of attention has changed and left them behind.

@martydamus @RAF_Luton But the part about melting the sun is correct, right?
English
@RAF_Luton Wow. This is clickbait, right? I mean, seriously. I’ll fix it for those who don’t know.
(1) that’s NOT a B-52, it’s a B-1 Lancer
(2) neither is a fighter jet - both are bombers
(3) here’s what a B-52 looks like
English
Photo of the Day: B52 fighter jet passes so close to the sun that its engine exhaust starts to melt the surface of the sun. The B52 exhaust reaches temperatures of up to 8008.5° Kelvins because it uses Advanced Radioactive Substituted Electrons fuel

@oldmanradd Don't think many Saints fans call it "cinch stadium at Franklin's Gardens", just think of the money coming in!

@DeathOfACitizen @ukboomers No sense wasting money on petrol and parking fees, that's a step towards the first payment made already!

@ukboomers Walk? I thought you were given a car as a wedding gift? Or was this before marriage?

How to buy in London 2026. Find a nice street. Budget £750k. Set aside £150k deposit. Walk to the bank. Sign a few things. Keys are yours by Friday. People say getting on the ladder is complicated. We did it in one afternoon in 1982. It really isn't. 🇬🇧

Much emphasis - and rightly so - on the sensational bowling of @sando567 yesterday. But James Sales now has 5 Championship centuries for @NorthantsCCC - and only eight County-born players have scored more for the club. A gentle quiz question for Bank Holiday Monday, perhaps?

@SueStuart363385 @ChronandEcho True, but didn't stop the Conservative government from breaking lots of promises along the way in their decade or more in charge!
English
@smurfomatic @ChronandEcho Here’s the thing. Politicians with little or no experience (Labour out of power for almost 15 years, Reform never in power) get a huge shock when they finally win. They find governing is hard. "Campaign in poetry, govern in prose". Mario Cuomo.

Four car parks in Daventry and Towcester subject to proposed £5 hourly tariffs after three-hours despite Reform's assertion market towns would remain free of charge trib.al/S24QjUX
English
@SueStuart363385 @ChronandEcho Common theme, all politicians promise things and don't deliver. Enjoy the pickling
English
@smurfomatic @ChronandEcho Yeah. “We will smash the gangs”. They haven’t. “We will not raise taxes on working people”. They did. “We will grow the economy”. They haven’t. I could go on but I have some walnuts to pickle.
English
@SueStuart363385 @ChronandEcho They promised not to increase parking charges, then a few weeks later they're discussing increasing parking charges
English
@smurfomatic @ChronandEcho That’s because they haven’t. (I’m not a Reform voter by the way).
English
@SueStuart363385 @ChronandEcho Damnit, searched that article several times and see no mention of the Labour Party. I know you were born this year, so that explains the "worst government in living memory" comment. You're not commenting on Reform promising one thing and doing another though?
English
@ChronandEcho And still, despite having the worst government in living memory, the Chron continues to support the Labour Party.

Nathan McSweeney is the 140th batsman to score a County Championship century for @NorthantsCCC since first-class status in 1905. Can you name the other 139? You have 30 seconds starting from…only joking. You can have a minute 😀

@redhatphoto @5liveSport @BBCNorthampton Has Lennie forgiven Graham for the "speed camera" incident on the way back from Bath? 😂

@NilNisiBonum12 @ChronandEcho Was it really? I've never had a chance to look back at the parish records. Every day's a school day

@smurfomatic @ChronandEcho Ah yes, Aruxandei was a well known surname back when Duston was a village.

@NilNisiBonum12 @ChronandEcho I agree, should be saying "Duston driver" to be more accurate
