@mjrowland68 saying that Ireland didn't win because of a weather-based "technicality" suggests that all the rules are mere "technicalities". If England doesn't keep an eye on the DLS rate as well as the run rate then they're playing poorly. Particularly if rain is a possibility.
@6HFM gang, can you tell me the song that played this morning, about 6:20, right before Oasis? "I won't get fooled again" but not The Who. Thanks π€πΌ
@Sheeds_au Don't feel bad - Colin Hay once recounted a story about a fan asking to hear "the goat song", which after some investigation was found to be referred to as such by the fan because "goats appear and fade away" π
@supercujo The story I've heard several times (could be apocryphal), is that it was first developed for WW2 ammo backs to keep them dry (like water off a duck's back), so duck tape is the original term.
@zoeyherself Yep. Federer has always been lauded for it, as was Pat Rafter. And the (Australian) ones who aren't always get stick, for better or worse.
@supercujo All of that is anecdotal, speculative and assumptive. One can't come to any useful conclusion at all from the information you have at hand

Wonderful to see such a diverse crowd lining up to get their vaccines at Claremont Showgrounds. Diversity of age, colour, socio-economic background (an assumption based purely on footwear choices). π
People complaining about the casting of a black actress as Death in @neilhimself's upcoming Sandman adaptation miss both the point of the character, and the nature of creating - there's no "one" Death in the comics, and there's never only one good iteration of a creation.
The author is likely stoked that he gets to breathe life into an alternative version of his creation, just as a painter attempts the same composition with another colour palette, or how @OfficialSting reworks every goddamn song into a jazz number.
