Yes, the @newsagents.bsky.social quite succiently pointed it out that Gibb and his appointed "independent" scruitneers/advisors were/are the cabal ensuring this movement in the BBC - not helped by others incl one person whom I no longer have any respect for and presents a BBC "news" programme.

@lewisgoodall.com is there a petition method whereby if a certain number of constituents request a by-election then one has to take place?

Question. What type of car does a person or family in the lower financial categories drive? Would it be true that such a vehicle is older than say 5 years? So how do you not punish such people who cannot afford a Hybrid or full EV even if there's an equivalent to the size of car they drive today?

Like OFWAT we have OFGEM and OFCOM who do not serve the consumer interest or tell you to go to Citizens Advice.

Regarding the Oval, if you cannot get into the members area then on the couple of occasions that I went to a championship game there was very little open but at least the toilets should be fine. Thanks for reminding me as we have tickets for a men's ODC game there shortly.

Enjoyed the commentator talking about the Middx players involved not just in the finals day itself. Also Yorks had their loaned players to Tier 1 back.

This is because certification is by individual plane type by each manufacturer. Hopefully by watching this, if you have an interest, you might understand more.

So the 2s won and even the 1st team won yesterday. After her return home she talked in her argumentative way, had something to eat, and then headed out because there was something more on her agenda. She had phoned me after the game and that was great. Let's see what happens and may see her later.

Whether this will happen, who knows as she is forthright and then ... But nearly everyone else knows that she is good at anchoring and coaxing and coaching others in the game which hopefully makes them play better and enjoy it at the same time - like hitting a 4 when it comes off the middle.

Final comment. If you watch the highlights on YT it does not show the sitter catch dropped by India but shows nearly all the drops made by England. I am not aware if there was radio commentary that should have shown this but as cricket is not generally shown on FTA then you cannot trust hilights

Even daughter enjoyed the match even though she thought that some people did not know much about cricket. At times she found it boring though. She might even be doing something on Sunday which would be great with how she has been with cricket and recent traumas. She saw some girls from Middx also.

End of 19th 160/4 (need 12 off 6 - and 6 behind). Belly you know what you need to do. Crowd are anticipating and we know that was a good over ensuring that 4s and 6s were going to be very difficult to execute - and a wicket off the last ball to put icing on the cake.

5 runs and a leg bye - 142/3 (7 behind). Over 18, Ecclestone's last - 112411 - 152/3 (1 behind) - oh no here we go again. Issy goes again -"it's the CRUCIAL 19th" - England scored 13 when batting but India need 20 off 12. Dot 2W4dot2 - 8 runs and a wicket - lots of chat with Tammy (she is capt!!)

10 behind England but these next four overs were "poor" for England's batting, but there is a small chance. Filer is bowled out. Over 17 Issy Wong, "come on Issy" is softly spoken by the person sitting next to me. I am saying "bowl yorkers, bowl it up, most important fielders are mid off/long on"
