Rock-like. Think: solid, consistent, grey, covered in lichen...

@lastdinnerparty Long time since a band tackled out-of-genre compositions. Well done, great sound.
Dare I point you to The Doors ‘Strange Days’ for jazz-opera fusion with claws and teeth? In particular, John Densmore’s touch and sensitivity demos rock percussion punctuating and illustrating…

@TherealNihal Angled Sunbeams: you need two layers of cloud. Sunbeams are angled when the sun lights up a medium height cloud layer, and you can see angled beams on a dull day when this ultra-bright light comes through a small hole in the thickish cloud layer nearest to you.

@BBCSport @BBCSounds Surely a five-ball over is a HAND, HANDY or HANDFULL? Batting or bowling a 5-ball ‘maiden’ is described as being EMPTY-HANDED. The first Hand is the Left, the second is the Right.
A 10-ball over is a PAIR of Hands, HANDSHAKE or HANDCLAP.

@Zendesk might I suggest you provide extra support for @AskMyGP in the UK because their implementation of Zendesk is a terrible advert for your product!

Any reason why TheHundred can't describe a 5-ball over as a 'handie', 'hand', or 'handfull'?
@philtuffnell @ZalzCricket @BBCTMS
Naturally, when you bring two 'handies' together you get a 10-ball 'Clap'!

@Blackbullmatfen I'm taking 2 weeks to join and build campaigns to get maximum #BoycottFacebook effect

[Simon Ashby @Oooklout]

Genuinely disappointed at the SCL/CA data protection failure and cover-up at Facebook. Suggest that FB has got too big and the only way to influence that is by public boycott.
So I am cancelling my membership in 2 weeks time #goodbyeFB #CambridgeAnalyticaUncovered

As Tom Lehrer said, 'if people have nothing to say the least they can do is SHUT UP...' but 2 years' twitter-silence is probably enough ...

Just had a nostalgic biker session helping a guest fix his Triumph Tiger 750 (an ignition problem). Very pleasant. Now - back to OU study!
