The state of some of these platforms now is horrific. I reported an outrageously racist comment on BBC HYS yesterday (about the budget), and it was taken down immediately, but in the few minutes it was up it garnered about half a dozen upvotes.

Bit envious! I expect you'll see a lot more action than me today - will probably duck out by 6. Hoping not to see a wicket!
