Tomorrow is December 1st, so today I'm eagerly anticipating our annual tradition of not doing Elf on the sodding Shelf. Can't wait.

This is the sort of real world issue that social inequality leads to.
I'm going to swallow my pride and ask if there's any chance of a repost to help get traction.
I don't like to ask (I hate it, in fact). But I know Ian and hes worked so hard to raise this issue.

There's also this. I'm told the "download count" helps determine whether the BBC will provide more coverage
Sharing far and wide would help.
I'm not a "big" account (which suits me very well). But any help from others would be greatly appreciated.

I just ditched one after three lines. A new personal best.

It is almost 15 years since England last won a test in Australia. Some of our players were still learning to talk back then. What this all means is we believe that we and others are deserving of a five match series in Australia. Even our number 11 can score a pair.

If SA's first innings versus India lasts just 10 more overs, it will have persisted for the same number of overs (140) as the entire 1st Ashes Test in Perth.

This, from the Guardian, is Ryanair at its very worst.
It's not good enough for them to insist that they're a low-cost airline and everyone knows the rules, in circumstances like this...
I wonder if legislation is needed?
