I used to be someone who'd always finish a book once I'd started reading it, no matter how much of a slog it felt.
I just ditched one after three lines. A new personal best.

It is almost 15 years since England last won a test in Australia. Some of our players were still learning to talk back then. What this all means is we believe that we and others are deserving of a five match series in Australia. Even our number 11 can score a pair.

Forgotten all about Tim Martin (yeah, cheers). A man who looks like a picture of Slade drawn by a dog.

I hope they found their tortoise, but given that he appears to have fled by train, I'm not holding out much hope

If SA's first innings versus India lasts just 10 more overs, it will have persisted for the same number of overs (140) as the entire 1st Ashes Test in Perth.

This, from the Guardian, is Ryanair at its very worst.
It's not good enough for them to insist that they're a low-cost airline and everyone knows the rules, in circumstances like this...
I wonder if legislation is needed?

For newcomers to The Ashes, England and Australia play for a small urn (11 cm high) which contains the burnt shavings of the 'tashes of previous participants.

I see the Americans have decided to declare war on Italy.
Tiramisù doesn’t require baking, feeds a crowd and actually needs to be prepared in advance, making it a great contender for a Thanksgiving dessert. Cranberry, pumpkin and apple give this creamy no-bake classic a fall makeover with festive flavors.
