@RTX_3060 You may be shocked by how much of a class identifier that fact is.

[Bird @MattAllanBird]

@xio_orbit There are over 479 million orderings of 12, I just didn't expect to ever see this one.

@hfc_ellis Nothing better for your reputation than missing the call-up.

@ZacBrox @Mr_Grumpy_Arse @Sharks111064831 Same in the first half, left the start props on far too long as well. Don't know what he was playing at, did he think we were only allowed 5 subs or something?

[Bird @MattAllanBird]

@Baynesi83 @SilversRef Yeah, can't match the fitness and size down the middle, especially if we don't bother to sub the forwards for some reason.

@Bingbongbo10475 @RugbyLeagueTGG @rugbyleaguewcup Just watched the PNG Lebanon match, they're both getting blown out in their remaining matches (except Lebanon-France). Fiji and the Cookies after their match too.

@Frances_Coppola No you see we have to introduce segregation or else they'll be abused by bigots. This is a very sensible point to make that has no awful implications /s

@official_artms You found the Loona soundscape board!

@GLR_Clarke Add in the very real chance that England-Samoa-Tonga all finish on 2 wins and PD decides who progresses. Every incentive to batter the minnows by as much as possible.

@TAFKAB2 @johnlew13 I guess you can do some preparations without knowing which, or how many, teams there will be, but you need to lock in stadium dates eventually.

[Bird @MattAllanBird]

@TAFKAB2 @johnlew13 We have to plan for next season at some point

@LucyJones52 @lfg_uk That's totally fine. I'd quite like to have the flats as an option to take the pressure off of everyone piling in to that one type of ideal house. There's other reasons why flats are liked less here (crazy ancient lease laws that don't exist elsewhere etc) that need reform too.

[Bird @MattAllanBird]

@Squee451 @AndyMasley ..isn't that already a significant portion of farming (making livestock feed)

[Bird @MattAllanBird]

@LucyJones52 @lfg_uk It's better to build up (and I mean up, density is way too low in this country due to the daft road based suburbanism attempted in the last half century+) around areas already constructed on, and especially areas that will induce less road demand (which destroys even more!)

[Bird @MattAllanBird]

@LucyJones52 @lfg_uk It absolutely has a cost, I agree that there needs to be a weighing up. But perniciously marking the most viable land for construction as protected doesn't help anyone, it just forces us to push that construction to places where the tradeoffs are worse. Or delays it forever.

[Bird @MattAllanBird]

@LucyJones52 @lfg_uk The point isn't to pick winners and losers, it's to stop actively creating a lot of losers.

[Bird @MattAllanBird]

@subversivepsych @BBCNews It seems strange to claim that poorer, older data should be overruling more widespread testing of the actual population; but obviously the plan is to keep rerunning studies until they get the answer they want rather than the answer that comes from the evidence.

@NeilDotObrien @OxfordEconomics Googling "Argument from Authority", one sec...

@danielmgmoylan Yes, the UK famously eschews property investment for other vehicles.
