Also, where are all the Spurs fans?
Radio 5 Live made it sound like quite a performance today.
They were very good indeed. But you don't want to listen to someone who was at the ground, here's the Guardian report:

Is it me or is it a bit patronising for every name in cricket to be telling Sean Abbott how he should be feeling and that 'he won't sleep properly for a long time'?
It is. It's as if they'd be really angry if they found out he was really upset abut the death of a fellow player, but didn't feel any personal guilt.

What a fucking day - met mortgage advisor last night, all cushty, no probs with anything on LTV, earnings or the like.
Only problem is that I've had a CCJ (unpaid parking ticket I didn't know about, correspondence went to my house while I was living at gf's), which I naively thought wouldn't matter - it was only a fucking parking ticket. It blew everydamnthing out of the water. For a while today, it looked like no-one would touch us at all - for the next 6 years.
Even my current lender wouldn't let me bring my mortgage if I moved house, despite earning more than double what I was on when I took it out and being much better off in terms of savings, assets etc.
As it is, we're there (at the moment) - but only due to an amazing performance by gf haranguing the mortgage advisor and him (great guy btw, if anyone wants a recommendation) sweet-talking his contacts at one of the lenders. Taking nothing for granted until it's in writing though... moving house is a horrible business.

It's just awfully sad news, haven't been able to get my head straight today. Worth remembering some of the things he achieved:
youngest player to score a century in a final of the Sheffield Shield
youngest man to score a century in each innings of a Test
unbeaten 81 in a record 163 for the last wicket with Ashton Agar
first Australian to score a century on his one-day debut
top score of 243 not out for Australia A versus South Africa A
got to his first Test 100 with two sixes
made 1000 runs when aged 11

OK, hivemind, we just had a brainfart and put in an offer on a place. It's not cheap, but we've both sold places, so can put down at least 50%.
We haven't had to get a mortgage in donkeys' years, and are aware that it's harder to get a mortgage these days, and there may be more hoops to jump through and reasons you can be refused. Without wanting to read through 300 pages to find out, is there anything we really need to know or consider before seeing the mortgage broker?

Blimmin' Qatar again - bet they paid many a shekel in backhanders to get that hosting deal...

When you're dealing with small distances, you can increase the increments much more significantly. Just start ratcheting it up, and pull back if you start feeling adverse effects. If you subscribed to that 'only increase by 10% a week' bumwash, you'd take about 8 years to go from your first 1km to mara.
