At least it was only a half hour call. I'd count that as a win.

And then go off and set fire to all my possessions.

I've had that. They can't differentiate between weddings, funerals or that selfie I took to check the wart on my nose.

I hate it when these apps do this. They have no soul and therefore no way of recognising when it's just not the time.

I live in the forgotten wastelands of Northern Rail where yellow fronts still rule, and that's my excuse. To be fair, it's less than ten years since we had our last steam-hauled services!

Is it no longer?

I think it's been a requirement since BR days for all trains to have a yellow nose or front

We'll have to invade Vatican City if we want to keep the yellow on the nose

I just beat you with 1152 (and top 5%) - by far my best ever score. 740 was my top word combination (you could probably guess one of the words), but I kept getting lucky after that.

Ah, actually it was the other Test at Cardiff, and @missingintheslips.bsky.social was right!

Ha! In that case, who can forget Croft's hundred on debut against Pakistan, the first of five tons in Tests for England?

Robert Croft's highest first class score for an England team was 80 not out against Mashonaland in 1996

That's really unfair on San Marino. They've never lost a match against Brazil.

I'm sure that having a multi-millionaire father has had no effect on his career

It is an ancient mariner,
And he stoppeth one of three
Who will arise and go now
And go to Innisfree...
