I have to admit to being in a bit of a weird mood. This just happened:
1 DEAD, SEVERAL INJURED IN WOOD DALE TENT COLLAPSE
WOOD DALE, Ill. (WLS) — One man died and over a dozen people were injured when a tent collapsed at a community festival in the northwest suburbs Sunday afternoon.One person died and several were injured when a tent collapsed at a community festival in northwest suburban Wood Dale Sunday afternoon.Fifteen people were transported from Prairie Fest in suburban Wood Dale to local hospitals in varying conditions. Two or three of the injured are in serious to critical condition, according to local fire and police departments.
Steven Nincic, 35, was at the festival with his wife and two kids when the storms blew through, collapsing a tent pole on top of him.
This was not how the last day of Wood Dale’s annual Prairie Fest was supposed to end, with one person dead and 15 more in the hospital as a result of a collapsed main tent. John Anderson’s band was there, waiting to take the stage when the storm rolled through.
“Everyone got off the stage and it just came up real quick,” Anderson said.
Police say just after 2:30 p.m., seeing the approaching storm, fest officials had just shut down the rides, stopped the music and were trying to get people out, but it was too late. Eleven-year-old Bella Salgado was trying to take shelter from the hail.
“We turned to look and the tent flew off into the sky and the fence flew up and everyone was on the floor, and you heard screaming and crying,” she said. “I saw one of my friends on the floor. Her whole arm was cut. I was really, really afraid. I was trying to get cops to come over by her.”
There is no update on the remaining injured festival-goers.

Why would they need to clarify that that is not intended? Do people assume that everything is foul play?

@Necko – I saw this story on the news this morning. Glad to hear you were not involved, and at the same time my thoughts go out to you and your community as you cope with this.

Offline Hey everyone, I’m back! England was great, I had so much fun.@AhhhGirl , the Richard Porter Beatles walk was kind of a disappointment, actually. Most of the places have changed beyond recognition and the stories he told us aren’t anything most forumpudlians here wouldn’t know. Still, I got to see Abbey Road and a few other places that were interesting.

And you’re not starting volume 2 straight after, you’re starting book 2 of volume 1. Volume 2 isn’t out until, hopefully, 2020 (or sooner).

I finished ‘Tune In’ book/volume/part 1 and read a little of The Beatles UK Tours book that i’ve been reading for the last 27 millenniums. A fascinating book badly marred by being terribly laid out.
Will begin the next volume (i’m calling it volume) two in the morning.

Nice to see you eating some healthy food at least!
Maybe you just need me to run you around HK again for exercise? 🙂

It’s usually the other way round.
46 for 8 now!
Broad 6 for 10.
Now 47 for 9…..Another wicket for Broad…..That puts him one wicket short of equalling Freddie Trueman.

Offline My parents are gone to a wedding today and they’ve been gone since 12pm so I’ve had the apartment to myself for about 10 hours. I came home from walking at 5pm and then I felt a bit poorly so I went into their bedroom (it’s the comfiest) and decided to watch Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging (as you do, I like watching simple films that I can easily fall asleep to when I’m sick). Now I’ve been watching Skins for the past 2 hours and I remembered that I had to set my alarm for 8am tomorrow morning.
I had left my phone up in my room upstairs (I rarely use it bar for listening to music/surfing the net) and to my horror I discovered I had 11 missed calls from them, the latest from 8 minutes ago. I rang them back and they didn’t pick up the phone 
The one time they actually bother to think about where I am and I give the impression that I’ve been kidnapped or worse.
…Oh Joy!
Edit: Speak of the devil, a second after I posted this they rang
Dad: Ya alright?
Me: Yes
Dad: Did you have dinner?
Me: Yes
Dad: And you’re grand?
Me: Yes, I haven’t burnt down the place yet.
Dad: And you’re going to bed now?
Me: Yes**
Dad: *hangs up*
** I’m not actually, I’ve got at least another hour to run around

Here’s the very easy way to put it, Zig. The game has been played at International/Test level for over 100 years. In those over 100 years, no first innings has ever been worse. Take whatever team sport you want, make it a game played at the very highest level of that sport, and have one team having the worse half of all time in the history of that sport. That’s what happened. At that level of sport, it was a total humiliation.
