The worst day in our cricketing history was when we were 21-7 against Estonia in July 2023.
We realised our players had consumed more sausages in Tallinn the previous day than runs currently scored on the pitch.
Those statistics were stark and marked a key inflection point.

We damaged our relationship with the largest free market in the world, Europe. It's time to rejoin the Single Market and Customs Union, and repair our relationship with Europe.

All I want is a quaint château in the French countryside, a raging snowstorm, a crackling fire, a vintage copy of Victor Hugo‘s The Hunchback of Notre Dame, a whistling kettle on the stove, an owl keeping watch, and a basket of emotional support croissants.

When we won our first international match over the Swiss by 215 runs in 2018, we drove a car over a Toblerone and did a Viking thunderclap to celebrate. It is important to cultivate an intimidating aura.

Italy upset Ireland - their first-ever win against a Full Member nation! 🇮🇹
28th-ranked Italy needed 30 off last 12 balls to beat 11th-ranked Ireland - Grant Stewart's hat-trick of sixes got them there with three balls to spare! 🙌

10 years after the referendum and the ONLY thing the minority who still support Brexit go on about, is winning that referendum (just).
Why?
Because it is the ONLY win Brexit has. The vote. Nothing since has been a win for Brexit.

If you work for a company that uses the phrase "time theft", you should do 2 things:
1. Refer to any work done outside of regular working hours as "life theft"
2. Start looking for a job at a company that believes its workers are human.

Always thought I was the most law abiding person until I attended a recent webinar in work. It was about "time theft" & how doing anything other than work tasks in work time is stealing from the company. Based on my daily routine I feel like Al Capone

Evenings at the cricket club. Long shadows. A beer. Bare feet on the grass. A blue sky. Swallows wheeling overhead. Polite applause. The tension of a close game. Soon.

It would be unforgivable if the Government goes ahead with cutting taxes for US tech barons to appease Musk and Trump, all while slashing support for disabled people and front-line public services to the bone.
