Take it you didn't click "learn more"?
To sign into YouTube, you need to sign into Google.Com. that's the cross site script. Nothing scary, or unexpected.
Would prefer a direct one up one down system, rather than an unhealthy weighted play off, but better than nothing...
I broke the lid from my wedding gift teapot (20+ years old). Denby didn't do the exact model any more, but gave me a good enough replacement, free!
Won't help your predicament, but just wanted to shout out denby for awesome customer service!
Smeghead Or cockwomble.
This year I finally snapped (pun intended!), and moved to debian 12 on the desktop (after starting on Ubuntu 6.06). It's so familiar, but somehow more straight forward. Things "just work", as opposed to the constant niggles I had with Ubuntu.
There's a couple of vocal people trying to get quackhouse.uk as it's replacement, but it's down at the moment. And a crap name, imo.
“We’re determined to get this through as quickly as possible. So the real question is: is the Labour Party going to stand in the way and stop this from happening, or are they going to work with us and support this Bill so we can get it through as quickly as possible?"
Is this some sort of weird 3d chess thing that I'm too dumb to understand? " labour won't back our batshit plan, so we'll teach them a lesson, and call an election. Which they'll win. And then they won't enact our batshit plan. "
Nope, I don't get it at all.
Saved you a click: "In a nutshell, if an app needs special permissions that can only be granted through ADB (or with root), you can just use Shizuku to grant them right from your Android device."
Steve Borthwick queries World Rugby high-hits approach
"I also note there was a tremendous amount of comment from World Rugby about Owen Farrell over a couple of weeks during our preparation for this tournament, a situation that went on and on, and there were lots of comments from World Rugby."
This is the 2nd or 3rd time he's whinged about the time taken over Farrell's card. Without seemingly realising that if he / they had shut up and accepted the decision at the time, it would have blown over quickly.
all likely to be one sided. However, I'm interested in seeing how Tonga go with their ex-all blacks. You never know, the good weather may suit them better than Ireland, and at least make it a decent game.
Dodgy Run Out?
www.bbc.co.uk 'That is criminal!' - Kulasuriya run out by Cross for 0
Kate Cross shows great awareness to run out Achini Kulasuriya after the Sri Lankan is caught meandering back to her crease at the non-striker's end.
After the furore over Bairstow's run out in the Ashes, is this one "great awareness" as the BBC says (in the body, the headline seems to have been changed!), or poor sportsmanship?
Just waiting for Odogwu to light things up against a tired defence. Could be carnage.
Fucking hell. These anthems 🤣
"Dum Dee Dum Dee dum"
Can we have some music, please? You know, a band, like it's meant to be?
France seemed to give up there! Play to the whistle!
I was 5 minutes late to the game. Missed most of the best bits!
Lomu vs Catt is a the big one on the pitch for me
And Mandela giving the trophy to Piennara is an iconic image
Love it! High risk, High reward. Could have all gone wrong, but didn't - it's good to see some different thinking, especially in warm up games
www.theguardian.com Why has it all gone wrong for England since the last men’s Rugby World Cup?
Only four years after fielding the youngest team in a final, there are myriad reasons why England have arrived in France in crisis
A bit of a long read, and nothing to really surpise anyone here, but it's good to give some history to the current shitshow

Seems sensible. Now please can Borthwick, and everyone else in the England camp just accept it, and move on. Or will we have another week of "anyone who knows him, knows he's not a dirty player" and other empty nonsense?
Rugby World Cup 2023: Former Wasps wing Paolo Odogwu named in Italy squad - BBC Sport

After being discarded by England, Odogwu is in the italy squad. Good for him!

Ireland captain Johnny Sexton is given a three-match ban that will see him miss his country's three World Cup warm-up matches.
Convenient...

Bristol Bears to face Crusaders
www.bristolbearsrugby.com Bears to face Crusaders in historic Ashton Gate clash
Bristol Bears will face the newly crowned 2023 Super Rugby champions and one of the leading club sides on the planet on Friday, February 9th, 2024, when the New Zealand side the Crusaders visit Ashton Gate for a historic exhibition match.
Got to give Bristol credit here - yes, it's likely to be 2nd teams that run out for this, but they're making a good event of Rugby in Bristol - getting games against the Springboks, Barbars, and now the Crusaders. A great way to get the "casual" fans in, as opposed to another match against Sale in a noddy cup (for example, no disrespect to Sale, it's just that Bris seem to play them 10 times a season!).
