Yeah, he can hold his head high, he's done brilliantly to get this far.

Yeah, this is a bridge too far.

From what it sounds like the crowd need to do more of a job here, give the guy more backing.

... and that's why Zverev is world no.3, the big game experience coming through. Fear for Fery now.

Critical tie break this imo.

Luxury!

Current US administration in being massive hypocrites shocker.

That kind of public showing of lack of concern is really frustrating and really should be looked at, it's true. That being said, by far the biggest area of carbon emissions (and therefore increased temperatures) remains large scale power generation, so that has to be the priority area for action.

I have no doubt that they think that. With the way things might change, however, that may turn out to be a critically and fatally incorrect assumption. All the money in the world doesn't get you resources and comfort when money is no longer viable as a trading medium. And having security to guard those resources means nothing when that security will have no further reason to be loyal to you in such a world. Edit: and one more thing... those resources being made available to them at the rate they require, requires the mechanics of civilisation. And those mechanics, for all our tech advancement in recent times... still relies on people. Lots of people.

The problem is that there's still far too many people with power and influence who would rather see the world go to shit than be seen working a shovel. I'm not sure what the solution is to that which won't result in a great deal of blood on the floor, but someone had better come up with one or there will be plenty of blood on the floor anyway.

I think I'm one of the few who has never rated The Office, nor the humiliating style of cringe comedy it relied upon. The US version, once it got into its stride, was better. And yes, Gervais has always had an ego the size of a small solar system.

No disagreement there.

Unfortunately, such events are becoming both more frequent and more severe and both will only get worse over time. "Keep Calm and Carry On", while a fine idea, won't prevail in the end on this one, not without taking both the problem and the solutions seriously.

Brook and Salt clearly want to be back home for the World Cup match here. Charging towards the finish line.

Iyer with a good show but not much support, you would think 159 is eminently chaseable.

Doesn't exceeding feel excellent?

The number of records for both temperature and time being broken appear to disagree with the assertion being made here. And while it's clear that adverse weather will target the less physically fit first, I'm sure appealing to Darwin in this fashion will be a real comfort to all of those suffering now and in the future (as opposed to, say, taking whatever measures possible to ensure the problem doesn't get too much worse than it already is).

If is a fair point tbh that the ECB, like most other London based organisations, don't think there's anything worth considering north of the Watford Gap (apart from a small nod to Lancs and Yorks occasionally).

I don't think it's the idea that he's funny per se that is amusing people right now, more that he now has the opportunity to heap a certain amount of humiliation on a person and ideology that really, really deserves it.

If the tree did have a volume of over 5 cubic metres, then they did commit a criminal offence. Edit: as it looks like it was entirely on their land, they apparently could fell it as long as it wasn't under a preservation order. Shame.

Well, Zverev will certainly be a couple of notches further up, and it's possible this might be a wild card flash in the pan performance, but for now all I'll say is that Murray would be proud of the standard of that performance against a tough opponent on Centre Court.

Magnificent performance. If he can match that against Zverev, then he has every chance of beating him.

Fery now two sets up in his QF...

Right, so I'm rather curious as to why a man like this, and those that think like him, many of which have rather a great deal of power in supposedly civilised nations, don't get more outcry and pushback themselves.

Quite right. Just goes to show that absolute punishments cannot belong in an imperfect system, unless someone considers the idea of "collateral losses", however small, acceptable.
