@WG_RumblePants Unless and until all the crisp enthusiasts own the damage that their baby has done, progress will never come.

@tds122 @LongyWTID But but but... Tone, you can be the best in the groups but it doesn't matter a jot come KO cricket. They came up short. Pains me to say it but ๐ฆ๐บ are excellent in KOs.

Even when he's out of the team and out of favour, Ollie Robinson is *still* influencing and teaching impressionable Australians. The man is unmatched.

@MarkHay55822123 Though nominally allied, Germany and Japan fought two very separate wars to their mutual disadvantage. Imagine a full scale Japanese attack on the Soviets' eastern flank that coincided with Barbarossa? History could've been very different.

Some of the %s in the "not heard of" category could make you weep. The victors of Crรฉcy and Agincourt? Laying the basis of common law? Being forced to sign Magna Carta? Fought Saladin? Ended the Wars of the Roses? Possibly murdered his own nephews? Never heard of them ๐

@JohnnyFoxhole An enormous gamble. Unless they thought they'd get the better of his temper, plus they didn't rate Tom Hagen as a wartime consiglieri. Greed makes people do funny things.

@JohnnyFoxhole I see your argument and it's a solid one. Given Sonny's volcanic temper, seems logical blood would be spilled. Unless Sollozzo was willing (with Barzini in the background) to take some early hits in order to secure a massive financial win later? Once Sonny had calmed down?

@AstorJacob1 I only saw it once (and on a plane so I couldn't hear a lot of it!)but I thought it was decent. A better plot line than Crystal Skull imo, had it been made 20 years ago it would've been better received I think; Ford put in a good show.

A quick glance at today's scorecard shows England's reversion to our WB norm seems complete. Just count yourselves lucky to have witnessed the Morgan era - that was the exception to the rule. Unless serious changes are enacted, there'll be no redux. ๐ฎ๐ณ ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ
