Cheers all, sorry for thread derail.

Ridiculously excited to get back to the mountains. Off to morzine for a few days, looks like the first day might just be a pow day

Am I being dumb here?

The travel guidance for France asks for a PCR or antigen test to enter France from the UK.

A lateral flow is an antigen test right? Has anyone been using lateral flows for that or do we have to pay randox £30 for a PCR test before we go?

I would if I wasn't going to morzine next week. Sorry!

Can you rent them from the UK shops like Ellis Brigham or snow and rock?

Fair point, especially on the controlled slide part. It's difficult to describe how to do things on skis when you are used to doing them without breaking it down into parts so to speak. Though it is a great way of making sure you don't get lazy with technique. That's why a good instructor and lessons are key.

Assume that you are an instructor?

Ice = use those edges and carve!

As soon as you come off your edges you are toast

Yeah maybe. That would be such a shame as a fit Archer in the test side for for a few years would be able to lay claim to being one of the great England bowlers.

Fingers crossed for Saqib, why did they send him home this series?

Can't get rid of Root as skipper, there is literally noone else in the team secure enough to do the job. Also I think his captaincy hasn't been the issue. You can't be blamed as captain if your team is weak.

• Buttler shouldn't play another test match and foakes or Bairstow should take the gloves.
  
• Bring back Sibley to open with Burns when Malan retires (he's 34 so can't be long now), Crawley in at 3? Hameed may still have a future in test cricket but his technique isn't suitable for fast bouncy pitches.
  
• Encourage more genuine fast bowlers, too many similar types of bowler (Robinson, Woakes, Anderson). An attack of Jofra, Wood, Broad, Robinson, Stokes with Leach in for one of the bowlers if required is a strong attack. Hopefully Ollie Stone can come back from his injury without losing pace.
  
• Get rid of the Hundred, play county cricket throughout the summer, push the T20 domestic comp as a gateway instead.

4.30 and I'm still watching. Why?

So much love for Markus Eder. Amazing calm style and so strong in the air

His run on fiederbrun in the FWT a few years ago was pretty smooth

He's awesome in Days of our youth too

This is a serious ask...

Haven't tried it for years and years but I seem to remember a route that goes from close to Brent cross tube along the canal, under the spaghetti junction area and across the canal if that makes sense? Check on Google maps but I think that's ur best bet. Or a bridge across Hendon way to the west of Brent cross.

Also is this Zero who used to be a courier in MCR perchance?

That was dire. Watched the first session and then went to sleep. Hameed and Pope the only ones who looked vaguely in nick and really Hameed wasn't timing it well, just leaving it well. Pope looks like he will have a good series though. Not sure about Malan at 3 but who else goes there instead?

Aussies look like they have our number, even with rain this will be over in 3 days

@coventry_eagle ahem

£75 ONO

She'd be good for Labour though

Plenty of people still see the greens as a protest vote/single issue party and not especially left wing hence the ability for more centrist Tories to vote for them.

Whereas Labour voter flight to the greens would be because they see the greens as more left wing than labour.

It was always going to take people a while to move away from the Tories, especially having just voted for them plus Brexit and its delivery by the Tories still being a big vote winner.

Personally, I think that the biggest danger to the progressive parties is if Johnson is booted before the next election and Sunak gets in as leader. If Johnson stays they might have a decent chance of reducing the Tory majority to circa 15/20, surely the best possible result after the landslide in 2019

For sale is one massive yellow and barely used courier bag.

Here's some pics of our Berlingo with a camper conversion in the boot and with the tent ( not always on the back) as an extra changing room and place to dump stuff when the bed was down we had a great 15 days on the road in France this summer

@M_A_X helped fit a leisure battery too

this was an enjoyable thread until people started arguing about speeding. Stop, its beyond boring and can we get back to chat and pics of sweet camper vans

How would you like him to be ruthless against the conservatives that isn't already happening?

As Corbyn saw and now Starmer is seeing it's pretty difficult to bring the fight to anyone else if your party isn't fully behind you. So he's trying to sort that.

Managed three minutes of this drivel before stopping. Changing the system is literally not undemocratic. Both the electoral college and one person one vote are both democratic systems and both are perfectly reasonable to use.

As a leader you need a ruthless streak otherwise you will lose. This should be seen as a good thing.

@Buffalo_Bill sold out North London a long time ago. Lost cause. Mrak and I went

surely your beef here is with the government not the people who are simply following the rules. If you are allowed to freely congregate inside and eat and drink without wearing masks, dont have a go at people when they dont wear masks. Surely thats fairly logical?

Yep. Amazed to hear people slating hameed, he did a great job.
100% over now tho

This, they looked fairly untroubled out there. Keep building slowly towards lunch , if we have 150 and 8 wickets left that should be a winning position.

Would still back India though, they are the best side in the world cause they are brilliant at winning these kinda situations
