@Stockcar86 Man - way to vandalize a thing of absolute beauty! Someone should be jailed for that!

Canada will be a tougher prospect than Namibia but will they offer more resistance than Italy?

Tonga 33, Canada 23 in the Pacific Nations Cup doesn't really bode well for them, unless they've acquired some significant reinforcements.

@mariner4life Just pointing out why they are a long way from ever becoming a thing.

Surely it's much cheaper to get a drone and put your bomb on that than buy an expensive self driving car.

Buy?

Aren't you from Hastings?

@mariner4life Probably not - but, I don't think I'll be investing in them.

OK I accept my POV is coloured by the fact I had no issues on Saturday night but I do think there's been a massive over-reaction to Sparks problems.

I mean anytime there's any fucking drizzle about there's a high probability you'll lose your Sky feed. Spark also did have a Plan B in place and initiated it although it seems that they have communicated this better.

Yep - it's a perspective thing. New and Scary means anything less than perfect has the media frothing at the mouth ... while Sky dropping out from time to time is just part of the service.

The fail where I was on Saturday was annoying but not consequential -we didn't lose any of the game, just paused for 2-3 seconds and then dropped quality.

You are and will see the same thing with driverless cars. They get held to a way higher standard even though they are already far safer than the average idiot behind the wheel.

And they're waaay safer for suicide bombers!

There's an 895 in Jaipur, as well.

I was talking to a Mongolian guy earlier this year who is looking to shift to Canada and he reckoned the air quality in Ulanbaatar takes 10 years off the average lifespan - and they're at 175.

Didn't stop that guy smoking like a train!

@No-Quarter I guess I'm talking specifically about watching live sport, where you have to wait for it to be on - and I'm wondering what they're going to be able to add to the experience.

Perhaps it will be fern comments flashing into the game feed in real time?

@nzzp ".....and now there's a paper bag blowing across the ground and it's just gone past Edgar, who's fielding on the cover boundary, and he tries to trap it with his foot, but fails.... > TV >>>> Phone.

I know exactly what that looks like!

@nzzp Yeah - but, to be honest, watching sport on a phone doesn't really do it for me. I guess for rugby, it's marginally better than listening on the radio, when half the time the commentator is bellowing TRYYYYYYY and I'm thinking "who scored".

But, for cricket it won't ever be better than radio cricket for me. "Great days of summer....".
