Could it be you? New vacancy listed on Lib Dem website: Campaigns Organiser (Wells & Mendip Hills)
Campaigns Organiser (Wells & Mendip Hills)
This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real impact on developing the local party and ensuring future electoral success.

Always fun watching J Overton getting the shit smashed out of him like the net bowler he is.

Disappointing period where as far as I can tell, no current #SussexCCC player that are at BBL or SA20 are actually playing. Even the local ones have been dropped or are injured from their respective sides. Doesn't bode well for the oncoming season.

New poll reveals surprising ‘least unpopular’ option for voters at next election
More than a third of voters say they would support such a result while 45 per cent say they would oppose it

Ohh how I wish we had PR.
Davey leading a Lib/Lab coalition would be a dream.
A man of conviction, vision and clear priorities with the political nouse and experience to deliver it.

The end of Life on Mars, before the Ashes to Ashes finale made it an elaborate purgatory.
Absolutely perfect television.
Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:

What's the *best* ending to a show you've ever seen? Quote/reply etc

For those wondering about #TheAshes.
Its 3am in Sydney and there is an almighty thunder storm about half an hour from the ground, I suspect that we might not start on time.

Great knock from Asa Tribe in the #SA20 increasingly worried for James Coles from a #Sussex perspective.

Not getting the opportunities.

He's now well down the potential pecking order of batters who can bowl useful spin.
Root, Bethell, Jacks, Tribe...
It all adds to my fear that he'll leave.

Day3 pt1.
(Im thinking of doing this as a podcast btw, the most niche of podcasts).

Another day of departed players so far. In #BBL we had CJ aka Chris Jordan win with Hobart Hurricanes. No ill will to him, he wanted to be captain and went back to his original club but he'll always...

#Sussexwatch day 2. Pt1.

A day of exes, no current Sussex players in action but plenty of former.
Rashid Khan will skipper MI Cape Town, go well (always liked him and hope he comes back one day).
Shadab Khan - (Farbraces first mistake, displacing Lenham) alongside Reece Topley for Sydney Thunder...

Duan Jansen would be a veeery intersting county signing for next season. I reckon he'd be a handful with a dukes.

Pt 1.
Good day for #Sussexwatch.

Skipper Tymal Mills bowled brilliantly for Pretoria Capitals, speed gun might be generous but looked good at 147kph.
Bounce and accuracy that we haven't seen for a while 4-0-17-2. If anything he deserves more.
Less good for Alsop at Big Bash...

Loved reading this from @nickfriend.bsky.social
I cant wait to see James do his thing in the SA20. Those arm balls make me think of Yardy so much, but im sure Yards himself would say, James has a much higher ceiling.

God I love Yards... might be my all time favourite... sorry, got sidetracked. 😆

With all the should we change the mgmt chat, I keep worrying about one thing, how much would it cost? I imagine Baz especially would be eye wateringly expensive to buy out of his contract. I'd for the money "we" got from selling August just went to pay then off.

For the avoidance of any doubt. Jofra Archer is one if England's top 3 cricketers. We are lucky he still wants to play test cricket and he deserves so much better than vapid racist shit from tabloid hacks.

Not a word on this from the Lib Dems. I'm really worried that we're too in hock to the NFU.

I should clarify this after not reading anything in 2024 🤣

I made a pledge this year to get back to reading. 8 books and a fair few cricket magazines represents a decent effort. Special shout out to @profaliceroberts.bsky.social for doing a double shift in my literary year. Excellent books.
