Please Hold, huge DR now

Get in there Windies a bit of a shambles.

[Raoul Duke III]

Get In. Plumb out.

[Mellor]

It's almost unheard of for a major CEO to continue when they are in the terminal stage, because the drugs mess with your mind so much. It would be considered a breach of duty by the board to allow that to happen (well in the US at least).

I think that's a pretty big generalisation, that drugs for terminal illness mess with your mind.
Obviously they can do, it depends completely on the illness treatment itself. I'd imagine the majority of people step down when when truly terminal for comfort reasons.

[Mickey Rosa]

Now that is fucking huge.

Dockerall you legde

[KevIRL]

Bittersweet symphony lol

[LuckyLloyd]

I'm sure the West Indies will storm through the tailend of their order. They have the upper hand.

[Raoul Duke III]

Now that is fucking huge.

Samuels looked way off his game too. Great pressure by us and superb tactics by Porterfield.

Ata boy Dockerell

[Raoul Duke III]

Fucking boom. What an agricultural wipe. GTFO

[Guest]

Great wicket, giving this a good go but as Kev says the last 10 overs could be painful.

We'll have them bowled out

[White Knight]

They have the upper hand.

Eh, I think you are totally mistaken at the point in time!!

[Mickey Rosa]

Ireland now 1.74 shots on betfair.

[Raoul Duke III]

Eh, I think you are totally mistaken at the point in time!!

I think you'll find he knows exactly what he's doing. wp LL

[The Situation]

Sammy their last hope of putting up a reasonable score, class player but usually plays the finisher role.

Prob the nicest guy in sport too.

[Strewelpeter]

I'm doing the right thing here, keep up!

West Indies still looking good.

[Mickey Rosa]

Bumble has to be in my top 3 of sports commentators.

[Lazare]

Are we winning at the rounders?

Should I drive around Walkinstown roundabout with the horn beepin?

His commentary at the end of England v ireland in 2011 was outstanding

[SonofSolkz]

need at least one more wicket before 120 runs or 2 more before 40 overs.

well thats what I am hoping for

[Midnitekowby]

Highly fascinated with the cricket updates. Looked up the scores and have no idea what they mean. But the enthusiasm here is rather addictive.

Anyone care to do an ELI5: what does this mean? Is it, according to a crude reading of BBC, that we're now hoping for Windies getting around 250 points, and then we've a decent chance of beating that tomorrow? And that will then progress us to an unexpected next stage?

hold on, we not batting tonight?

[ArmaniJeans]

hold on, we not batting tonight?

Yes, straight after the Windies finish ( ~25 min break).

One of the most mindblowing pieces of info of learning / relearning French has been that the French word for pasta is 'pates'. Fairly certain I've passed through multiple pages of menus in French restaurants before thinking wtf is wrong with you people and your obsession with pate.


Also; and this was more a random google, rather than learning; that tips are included in the price you see for anything on the menu. So tipping itself is highly uncommon, apart from rounding up to the nearest euro or adding a fiver for a meal for two.

So that's my entirety of visits to France to-date being screwed over by their system.

Is that right btw?

Makes a huge difference to the decision to visit a good place. Was planning a rip roaring intro to Rennes by booking lunch in the two-star Michelin restaurant there, and when you factor out the need for a decent tip its all quite affordable. Three course lunch for two should work out around €100 at an absolute max.

Today I met some french girls and tried out some of my exquisite french on them, a culmination of my years of study in school, asking them... J'ai un carrot dans mon pantalon, serez-vous mon lapin? Probably wrong but nonetheless they laughed until they choked. Use this line sparingly, it will have great success.

[The Situation]

We've been sensational in the field.

[TheJiggaman]

Just saw Poyet's comments from the post match press conference today.

He's bordering Dalglish levels of embarrassing with what he's saying. . .

I knew pates was pasta, but whenever I see it on a menu, I still thought "that really is going to be confusing". Especially when you consider pate is generally a french dish anyway.

Even with the proper diacritics, it's not a whole lot clearer.
Pâtés and Pâtes

Isn't that always the case for late-stage terminal cancer though? (happy to be corrected of course, as don't understand much about it, except hearing that).

Well, not all terminal illnesses are cancer. I wouldn't assume that terminal illness means somebody is always impaired in their role. But, I also would be surprised if a board of directors took that view to be safe.

I have heard the phrase chemo-brain relating to loss of mental acuity during cancer treatment though.

[KevIRL]

Mcbrine really justifying his selection over Young. Outstanding figures

[Tar.Aldarion]

I have a carrot in my trousers, will you be my rabbit?

You will fare well, this is all you need to know along with staples like tournez a gauche, traversez la pont. Thank you education.

[LuckyLloyd]

West Indies in an actual strong position now. Starting to score.

Sammy is seeing it big.

[TheDrunkenOne]

Ireland making me approach the shaking of head, looking to sky and muttering wtf stage.

[The Situation]

We're still going to be chasing a below average total for this pitch, couldn't have asked for much more beforehand.

Give 'em 268 and we'll call it quits.

Mooney a big loss. I'd say they had him lined up for a good few of the death overs.

Looks fucked. Can't believe they don't let him go off.
