Bazza Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 The Ashes is a cricket competition between England & Australia going back 137 years. The form of cricket is called "test match", and takes place up to 5 days, unless the match is won by one team beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 It is all the fault of the politicians. The sportsmen did all they could but the politicians on both sides have acted like clowns thus leading to an inevitable loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeropoint Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 16 hours ago, archer said: Ghostly orb at a comic book store caught on video and repeatedly sets off store alarm. https://www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/news/strange-floating-orb-is-captured-on-shop-cctv-footage-9082223/ The fact that it was only visible via the camera, and not to the naked eye, suggests that it was an infrared light. It almost looks like someone was shining an IR laser around the store, but the motion doesn't look like what I'd expect from human hands. Motion detectors usually work with IR light, so it would explain that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Small insect or spider, close enough to the camera to be out of focus and overilluminated by the IR LEDs. Probably dangling on a silk dragline and floating around in the A/C currents. Either that or it's the ghost of the comic book business model.

Zeropoint Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Ah, that fits the motion, and the relationship (or lack thereof) between the shape of the "orb" and the background, much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one hand McDonalds barely qualifies as food, on the other? It will bring around the "riff raf"? Classic English xenophobia not sure I should laugh, or just shake my head.
