With no crowds at the WC Snooker I’d put some £ on Ronnie this year… Just saying.

Judd Trump. 9/4

Ronnie O’Sullivan.11/4

Neil Robertson. 5/2

Mark Allen. 14/1

John Higgins. 14/1

Paddy power

Yeah… Those prices were PP :+1: Don’t know if still available, don’t blame me if he loses. :grin:

On the coast here - 3deg hotter inland. Sea looks very inviting - a dip tomorrow I think as it’s still going to be 27 @ 9pm.

Doesn’t look good - that’s a while after the crash - helicopter and all those ambulances take time to get there. That’s some fire.

Got some cracking weather coming up over the next couple of days Gromit.


Will be checking the awesome http://www.lightningmaps.org site when the heavy stuff is around - there’s a crane a few streets away that’s bound to catch one or two strikes.

I have first hand insight into the clusterfuck that is this year’s A Level results. My daughter is one of the relatively lucky ones, having “only” been downgraded from teacher predictions of A*AB to ACC which is still enough to get her into a politics degree at her second choice uni. But there have been some absolute horror stories today of friends and classmates missing out on places they thought were locked up with seemingly arbitrary D and E grades for kids who were reasonably expecting As and Bs. One poor kid was unable to log in to her college web portal and discovered the horror of her awarded grades when her second choice uni emailed her to tell her she’d failed to meet their requirements.

And of course Gavin Williamson produces the money quote today with “Increasing the A Level grades would mean a whole generation could end up promoted beyond their abilities”

Irony is dead.
