Who'd like a cricket stat? You would? Good. The India v West Indies ODI today is the 5th international one-day (four men's, one women's) to contain four centuries. If there's one more (as I write, Rohit is on 84), it will be only the second list-A match (out of over 30,000 played) with 5 hundreds.

With alt text. I know someone who actually did this

kbarton1001
On my first big overseas client conference, I was at a dinner seated next to a drunk client who kept trying to fondle me under the table. I was young, distressed, and had no idea what to do. I moved my legs as far away from him as I could, moving into the space of the man next to me, who then started patting my legs! The Regional Manager was a French woman who caught my eye, gestured for me to go to the bathroom and when I came back had switched chairs with me. What happed next was epic. A few minutes after I sat back down, she raised her hand with his hand captured in hers and announced loudly "Does anyone know whose hand this is? I found it in my lap." There was dead silence at the table. She threw his hand back at him and said calmly "next time I pick it up with my fork." Then she started a new conversational thread and things moved on. After the meeting she found me, gave me a hug, and said seriously "Never be afraid to make some noise. It is their shame, not yours."

I think it would be very useful if people could say it directly. Its because the Israeli minister is a racist, but seems like its left to insinuating the obvious when it comes to so much racism by right wing figures.

Started reading the Manchester City charges PDF and from a legal and timeline perspective, it’s fascinating to read how they went about cheating and the why. It’s feels a bit triggered by owner pride if I’m guessing the redactions right, but legally I’ll never know.

What I'm getting from the Man City owner's statements so far is that they don't deny they've done what the evidence shows, they just don't think it's against the rules... Either some lawyer somewhere has found weasel words, or City are going to release a load of evidence everyone else is doing this.

The formatting of this Beckett quote does still represent resilience and determination, just of a very different sort.

A neon light art piece of Samuel Beckett's famous quote "I can't go on. I'll go on" but spaced - it would seem inadvertently- so that it reads "I can't goon. I'll goon".
