      Have to admit I was getting freezing at the ad breaks last night but a simple Pause/Play kicked it back into action.

      Not buying that as messaging apps these days auto-capitalise the first words of sentences which can sometimes be not what you want.

      Yet to explain why it differs from not using bowlsman or fieldsman. :unsure:

      I have used it occasionally on my Chromecast dongle and can't say it is any worse than say All4, NowTV, Prime, Discovery+ or any of the other commercial catch up services, BBC iPlayer is far and away more of a pleasure to use simply because you don't have to keep pressing the Mute button when...

      Someone once said that Monty Panesar only played one test match ... again and again. That is what pyjama "cricket" is and like the proverbial Chinese takeaway provides no lasting sustenance. I could not even get excited about The Roses T20 match this week even though the whight team won...

      There was a recent change to the laws to ensure that the new incoming batter always faces the next ball after a run out. BTW we now say batter rather than batsman which brings it into line with saying bowler (not bowlsman) and fielder (not fieldsman). Umpsman and scoresman would also be...

      Ghosts

      I think the US version stands up well compared to most US comedy shows based on UK originals (yes The Office I am looking at you), if not quite up to the standard of its UK progenitor. Series 2 expected soon. Thankfully, they used a different set of characters and backstories to explore rather...

      The laws of cricket reference reminded me of a thought I had recently. If a run is called short, should not both runs be called short?

      Media mistakes

      I see no bird. :unsure: Edit: Now see it using Chrome rather than my usual Firefox. I think that is about as good as you could expect using just a couple of alternating GIFs.

      Assume v. Presume

      I have a dislike of being called "buddy" by a work colleague but no problem with being called "mate". Is that me being US-phobic?

      So like grammar pedants to want to impose their proscriptive use of language on the rest of us. 🤨

      My only quibble with calling it a concert is that I am given to understand she mimes her vocal as all the prancing around leaves her too out of breath to actually sing. May as well play her MTV videos,

      Media mistakes

      If you want to wind up up the locals call the football teams Notts County and Notts Forest. :)

      No series record on BBC1SEHD

      It can if it is from a subscription channel and the subscription has lapsed. Only mention it as you were wanting to be precise in how these things are worded.

      Today's 3pm emergency alert

      I thought phones in ruggedised cases were aimed at the likes of the building industry? We use them and can vouch for them surviving being driven over by a large vehicle as well as surviving many falls. The one weak point is the screen if they happen to land face down on a piece of grit which...

      Today's 3pm emergency alert

      I assume they are relying on those who do not get an alert being informed pronto by someone who has. At a guess 30% penetration would suffice for this.

      Random Recordings!

      Maybe they have had a new starter on the job? On Sunday I noticed the omnibus version of The Archers had been added to the daily episode podcast feed instead of the omnibus feed. And then the Sunday daily episode was the omnibus version until they noticed it and put up the right recording.

      F1 qualifying only recorded the first 35 minutes

      Really? My old Digitalstream recorded all of quali but I watched the post-quali coverage on All4 on my lunch break at work and that had the ad breaks.
