This episode of Mark Steele's in Town about Handsworth is brilliant. It's the Birmingham I grew up in, moved back to and work in, at one of the most diverse and integrated Universities in the UK. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b...

Birmingham, my home city, is a fantastic city, with fantastic people- a success story. It has its problems, like anywhere. But the obsession the online right has with it is as transparent as it gets.

Ok, putting it out there, I think Invincibles are going to win by over 100 here.... #TheHundred

As someone who was sat in the ground, Sky's are ludicrous. 99% to win when they need 20 off 5 with NSB on strike...

Was a great catch and hopefully Cricinfo get her name right as she deserves those stats from today. Nice to see the Phoenix women actually win at home for once! Look a stronger team than the last 2 years.

Great to be at Old Trafford (the good one 😉) for The Hundred again. Although I am wearing my Phoenix top and Bears cap...

Stunning view of the second best cricket ground in the country #ComeOnYouBears

Mine too. More worrying is the fact she can lead us there without hesitation.

watching england is a lot less stressful if you work on the assumption that the fourth innings target is going to be about 350-390, and everything that comes before is just manoeuvring

A little less even

Alan Goddard @alangoddard.bsky.social · Jul 22

Completely agree. And if the players (generally) could behave a little like a knock on the ankle was a life threatening injury. Get Nigel Owens in and he'll tell them like it is!

It feels like she's adopted the rugby attitude where the squad all play a part and you have "finishers" who basically come on and run the opposition ragged when they are knackered.

I've only ever done it for proteins but there are some papers out there about doing it for polymers. I think it depends how "exchangeable" the protons are

Alan Goddard @alangoddard.bsky.social · Jul 17

I've asked my mates and they can't, sorry. With the caveat that I'm not a polymer chemist, but I spend an awful lot of time working with some. You don't seem to be able to buy a deuterated monomer which would make it difficult. Have you thought about doing hydrogen deuterium exchange on bought PEI?
