Something needs to be done about this brain dead rule interpretation that has cost Starc in #Ashes2023 and now Abbott perfectly good catches. So, so stupid. #INDvsAUS #IndvsAus2023

@Kingwarren20 @marquelawyers It’s not an historical text either. It’s a mythology, just the same as the Greek, Roman, Egyptian and other mythologies. The only reason people still believe this one and not the others is because it was institutionalised in pursuit of power.

@NogbertTheEgg @bbctms Really? Know him personally do you? Flog.

[Tony Barrett @ItsTonyBarrett]

@bbctms You’re a disgrace Alastair Cook. Hang your head in shame.

[Tony Barrett @ItsTonyBarrett]

@JIMMYCISABEE @bbctms Sounds like the sort of flog comment you’d expect from @JIMMYCISABEE

[Tony Barrett @ItsTonyBarrett]

@ahleach Cook should hang his head in shame. That is a truly despicable thing to do to a young player who is already under a lot of pressure and scrutiny (unfairly in my view).

@driveinns @lesstenny Way to miss the point (or maybe you're just taking the opportunity to push your partisan politics on the rest of us). The point is that the political discourse in this country is rubbish, and both major parties are just as guilty of it as each other.

[Tony Barrett @ItsTonyBarrett]

@Samm35910997 @lesstenny I take this as more of a commentary on the politics in this country (and in many other countries, to be fair). Q&A is just the medium being used to distribute this crap.

[Tony Barrett @ItsTonyBarrett]

@LouiseC4change @lesstenny LOL. Of course it is. It's 100% accurate.

[Tony Barrett @ItsTonyBarrett]

@joserosado This makes a lot of sense to me.

I've struggled with the inability to deliver immediately though. Even if I try to manage expectations, I feel like I'm letting them down.

Irrational to some extent, I know.

[Tony Barrett @ItsTonyBarrett]

@mreflow Yeah man. Those kittens. Take 'em out I say.

😁

[Tony Barrett @ItsTonyBarrett]

@jessievbreugel Me. Of course. 😂

[Tony Barrett @ItsTonyBarrett]

@Rugged_Legacy 100%.

In the corporate world it always amazed me that recruiters would automatically include a college degree in the job 'requirements', irrespective of the job.

[Tony Barrett @ItsTonyBarrett]

@thejustinwelsh Oh man I (and I bet many others) need to get this tattooed on my forehead.

Perfectionism, and delaying action in pursuit of it, has been the curse of my entrepreneurial career.

Spot on Justin.

[Tony Barrett @ItsTonyBarrett]

@VictoriaPile @dickiebush @Nicolascole77 Good luck Victoria!

[Tony Barrett @ItsTonyBarrett]

@Rugged_Legacy Thanks Jeff, very generous!

FYI, I tweeted for a bit last year but without any strategy for growing my following. Time to change that.

[Tony Barrett @ItsTonyBarrett]

There is no substitute for experience.

And the only way to gain experience is by starting.

So stop making excuses, putting it off and fucking around.

Start.

[Tony Barrett @ItsTonyBarrett]

There is nothing wrong with educating yourself, and it WILL make you better…

But not when you use it as an excuse not to act.

[Tony Barrett @ItsTonyBarrett]

You have to understand what is most important to your customer...

And make sure you deliver on that as well as you possibly can, every time.

[Tony Barrett @ItsTonyBarrett]

The hardest part is starting.
