Root's been excellent this series, credit where it's due.

Clarke retires as well. A bit of a hammering as it goes!!

Gutted I'm at work, what an unbelievable morning by the sounds of things!

Not sure what it's like now, but in the '80s especially they were all over the 'roids. I read Hulk Hogan 's book and he basically said they were told (before much was known about them), 'take these, you'll get much bigger', they didn't ask too many questions back then....

Cook leading by example again!

Thing is, it's hard graft working in the food service industry, and knowing people that do and have done, I know just how hard they work! Mistakes happen, as long as when they do, the establishment do everything they can to rectify it, then you can't say fairer than that for me.

I've never done it myself like, if I had an issue I'd sort it there and then (or do my best to), before badmouthing on the Internet like a coward first!

Really poor do that CLB. Anyhow, Restaurants tend to live and die by what is on Trip Advisor these days, if reminded of that they are often found to be more accommodating!

The heavyweight division is dire, and has been for a while, whilst he's bringing a bit more 'light entertainment' he's as daft as a brush.

Went to La Veranda at Haslingden last night. Food good, but the same complaint each time rears its' head. The lack of staff. A half full restaurant, and one waitress!

Very good win yesterday, much better than expected, a nod to Moeen Ali for his bowling as well! Think it was Gav that said it above, the Aussies simply won't be that bad again, and I don't think we've a great record against them at Lords. Still, an excellent win that's to be applauded.

Glad to get rid of Warner before lunch! Came down to my folks thinking it would be on, and they're at lunch! Blast!

Stokes struggling against Starc here!

You pick your best team, it's as simple as that. If Cook blasted a century then there's no discussion, but he's out cheaply.....

Going to get to the driving range and work on my lapsed abilities this Saturday I think! Then get some golf lessons, and look at doing 18 holes for the first time in a long time!

Absolutely Matt, we need a big performance from Anderson.

Fury is an utter goon, and about as likeable as Fred West. I really want someone to smash him in, hopefully Klitschko will do the honours.

Another I need to pay a visit to, so many good places to eat in this area!

I've heard similar things about the Inn at Whitewell Gav, my folks went the other week and the same!

I am keen to get back into golf, but I'm not really ready to go for a full 18 holes job just yet! I'd be happy to get involved with future events though!

In terms of quality of beer garden, and the views, I can't think of anywhere that's anything like as good. Cracking spot.

I went to the Aspinall last week for a pint, they were barbecuing so I ended up having a burger and chips, surprisingly very good! If a bit pricey!

Uncharted games are always belters.

Jealous! I'll have to make do with a stroll up to Bash this weekend!

Yeah, 3rded about the family, a good film indeed, enjoyed it!
