Well my conclusion after checking several weather services is that weather forecasting is a crock of shite 🤣

A lot less optimistic about the weather today. Reckon there will be half an hour about 4 when it's not raining.

Back up to 60% rising to 80% by 1900. I've been told the met office app is one of the more optimistic ones so I'm choosing to ignore the others 🤣 Edit: Back up to 60% all day now boooo

Met office looks more optimistic for the afternoon...

What score will stokes declare on...

What do I know

Our top order is shite. Ali basically an opener at 3.

Didn't some guy on sky sports say we'd win by 4 wickets with woakes hitting the winning runs and we'd be done by tea. That ain't a bad shout at all!

From the POV of someone who doesn't wstch a lot of cricket this series has been absolutely thrilling to watch. I've been using the Father in laws sky go account to watch it but its a faff. If it was on free view I'd watch a lot more cricket. Its a shame sky dominate so much sport. On another note. Stokes was in the year above me at school. Absolute grade A cunt of a human being (teachers and students deacription) but my god what a fantastic sportsman he is.

As Warner was walking off my 10 month old looked up from bashing her various toys together and said "ta ta" and started waving at him 🤣. I think if she could have said "piss off you aussie prick" she would have

Imagine having the aussies at 80-4 and chucking it away....

Went for dinner at my parents the other day and my 7 year old niece piped up and said "can I tell a joke" so we all prepped ourselves for a terrible joke, fake laugh etc etc. Anyway it had us in absolute stitches coming from a 7 year old. Why do pumps smell? For the benefit of the deaf

That's what I said. If you're attempting a run or batting out you're crease then fair enough but bairstow was doing neither. To me it's the same as in football not giving the ball back from a throw in after its been put out for an injury and then going on to score.

It's bad whoever does it. If we've done it before then we've no right to complain but it's still poor form. For me if you come out of your crease as part of your batting action or in an attempt to get a run then you're fair game for a stumping but if you're doing neither of those things it's a bit poor. That other clip posted of de grandwhathisface, I'd say is very different as he's down on his knees batting and has to come out of his crease to stand up. It's a different situation entirely, not saying it's right but they're very different.

One thing I like about cricket is everyone (well most people) playing within the spirit of the game. That said, as a leveller it would be hilarious to see Warner sent back first ball because of this

"In control" is subjective but I would have said if he's still falling he's not in control. Could he have turned round and passed the ball to someone stood next to him with out that ball touching the floor? Not a chance.

We all thought Dreams was going to have a spare Sunday looks like he's got his money worth

🤣🤣🤣 I i laugh because I relate to this so much!

Well that's not cricket

So again I don't know much about cricket but should openers not be scoring more than a bowler playing on one leg?

"the biggest investment anyone can make in their future career right now is understanding and mastering the basics of AI." Couldn't agree more with this. Blockchain, VR, AR etc you get away with passing you by but AI is essential. With this in mind - what would people recommend trying out? At the moment I've only used ChatGPT (free) and Bing on top of some background reading on AI but really feel like I'm only scratching the surface.

*sits in corner and waits for dinosaurs to arrive*

I can't see people losing jobs because of AI as such (certainly not I huge numbers) but I can see people not being replaced. If I can do my job twice as fast with AI then I have more capacity. If someone leaves my team of 4 then the remaining 3 will have more than enough capacity to divide up the leavers duties. At the moment I basically see it as similar to having a graduate work for you. You meed to give it specific prompts and double check the output but it really saves the ballaching mundane element of your job.

AI is coming whether we like it or not. Best thing to do is adapt and be the ones who can use it. It'll never replace a whole team but will reduce the size of a team (long term)
