Test #cricket - what a load of boring, outdated rubbish, eh? #sarcasm #PAKvENG

Seriously, both sides deserve enormous credit for that match, and especially England, who played in a way that made a contest out of a pitch that always looked like a nailed-on draw.

@TheVoidTLMB The "official" app is pants, regardless of platform. But fortunately there are excellent alternatives. Don't know what you're using, but Tusky is fine for Android, and I've heard good things about Metatext and Toot for iOS.

This is as close as I've seen anyone get to the truth for some time. We need housing, but it's too easy and predictable to throw up tacky commuter belt developments without making the necessary investment in local services.

As with immigration, people are justified in being angry about stretched services, but too easily lose sight of the fact that if services are stretched, that's a political decision that doesn't have to follow from the apparent cause they're protesting against.

The Tories are tearing themselves apart over housing – but this is another crisis of their own making

Yesterday I made 3 important discoveries:

1. I can do a decent set with my weights during load screens and cutscenes, making this game practically good for me.

2. I finally found Ciri, who didn't even seem bothered that I'd been casually exploring, levelling up and taking on contracts when I was meant to be urgently looking for her.

3. Dwarves are dicks.

I don't care about anything else that's going on - this has been a good day.

This might relate to the terms of the #Octopus takeover of #Bulb, or government mismanagement, or both.

But the total cost of the bailout is apparently now £6.5bn. We could really do with an explanation, because it's hard to make that figure add up at all.

Not sure which party deserves more mockery TBH.

And if you think about it, isn't indentured slave labour and persecution based on sexuality just the same as teasing someone for having freckles, in principle? #Fifa #Infantino #WorldCup #FFS
