Some people in work were complaining that, because of the rail worker strike, we'll be losing at least two days work, probably more and so won't get paid. These people are fighting for better pay and conditions, frankly my coworkers and I should be there with them. I never put too much stock in the old "Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times" quote but I'm beginning to think it's real. Hard men and women lost their lives in protests to help give us rights and it's turned so many of us into soft idiots that worry more about enriching the elites through our own hard work than getting a fair shake. In these times when cost of living is making it tough for so many you'd think they'd be more receptive. Also this guy can gently caress off: MP Nick Fletcher schools letter says trans 'nothing more than a phase' quote:A Conservative MP has sent a letter describing children's gender identity doubts as "nothing more than a phase" to every school in his constituency. loving prick.

Oh sure if I write letters to the school talking about the children I get put on a watch list, if nick fletcher does it he's a member of parliament.

If I were a Conservative MP, I would simply not write a letter concerning myself with children's sex hormones to every single school.

I'd make Elsimar Coutinho's Is menstruation obsolete? mandatory reading in school sex ed just annoy that prick and his weird obsession with not knowing how gender or puberty or anything else works. Also make all BBC characters women, even the bad ones like Jimmy Savile.

Rwanda has cricket in schools now, which is indicative of a 'Commonwealth mindset', so regardless of what the isolationist Brexit press might want Johnson is far more than happy to shitcan international law and the entire Human Rights Act to gain some additional Southeast African spin bowlers. (Which tbf will be a material improvement for those fortunate pacemen, but as a part of transpiring his empire delusions?  )

We play baseball too, it's called rounders and you play it with a miniature bat. Cricket is like baseball except you only have two bases and you run backwards and forwards and also the bat is much heavier so you have to do a weird swing with it. Not that it stopped me trying to use it like a baseball bat when I played in school. You rarely hit anything but when you do there's gently caress all the fielders can do about it. Oh also the ball is much harder and heavier which is another reason why I advocate for the baseball swing because it puts the fear of god into everybody if you land it.

This reminds me, what's the country with the really insane baseball spinoff with a rectangular field where you run the bases in an X or Z pattern? Finland I think it was? I remember being initially repulsed at it but then I thought about it more and figured it'd probably be pretty fun to watch. I think my main issue with Cricket is how long it takes. It's really something when baseball can be described as a faster paced alternative to anything

Full disclaimer I don't actually know how cricket, baseball, or rounders work other than what I half remember from school. About the only sport I can remember how it works more or less is football because "kick ball through opposing goal" is probably the simplest sport out there outside of horseshoes.

But yeah test cricket is really just an excuse to spend the week drinking in the sunshine.

That field type was partially because the dude who modified baseball here thought that a field like that would be easier to setup on Finnish farming fields which due to farming reasons tended to be of that shape, the US style extended triangle thing would have been inconvenient.

Is anyone itt a Chromecast wizard? Almost every device in my house (three laptops, my partner's phone) is able to cast to our TV (via a Chromecast dongle thingy) but my phone is not. It can't see the Chromecast as an option when you hit the cast button in any app, and the option isn't there at all in the Chrome browser. Both phones are Android, only possible wrinkle I can see is that mine is newer than the Chromecast while everything else was already in the house when we first set it up. Massive pita though. It won't even show up if I try to set it up in the Google Home app from scratch. On the same network, Bluetooth on, doing everything by the book.

It was extremely localised to mostly the Catholic* communities of Cardiff, up the Rhondda a bit , Newport, and Liverpool. There used to be an annual Wales v England international every year that used to get decent crowds. As far as I was aware the game is basically on life support now. *No segregation as far as I was aware, I think a lot of the teams were set up by/associated with churches.

So, basically, they're researching how to keep Midlands gammons happy so they can keep their seats in the next election. Not a shock they don't realise the Midlands isn't 'the North'.

Personally I'd draw a line between the mouth of the Mersey and the mouth of the Humber and call everything above that The North, and do the same for the Avon and Nene and call everything below it The South, and the zone between it is the Midlands and also the forbidden zone of endless 'where the north south divide really is' takes. Materially anywhere with a coalfield does have a partial claim to northernness though.  Except Kent, they know what they did.

All Midlands towns are to be put into a north-south draft to be claimed by either side by public vote. Just as soon as we can agree on where the Midlands is
