@Thrillho Yeah I thought if Roy and Buttler had stayed in for longer it would have been a much tidier victory. With regard to Livingstone, definitely, he is one of my favourite batters for the current T20 side. Good all-rounder! .

@NedStarksGhost I have been playing most of my life. I was, however, up until a few years ago, primarily a rhythm guitarist. I found some great books and transitioned to lead guitar, for rock & pop music there are only a few basic patterns you need to know and you can just improvise around them, I forget the name of the main book I used, but if I remember, I'll definitely post it here for you! Some googling of 'Guitar patterns' 'Lead guitar book with tab patterns'... whatever, should hopefully turn it up for you though.

@TheBrandedSwordsman Hey, thanks for sharing. I take it going to lead guitar is much harder? From what I've seen it's another level again.
I have been following JustinGuitar lessons. Currently learning the A, D and E chords. He's simplified a lot of songs to use them and sound really good! For example, his simplieified Walk the Line by Johnny Cash has a basic strumming pattern of a chord per bar with 4 down strums.
It'd be awesome if you can find that book, more resource is always a bonus. It's a lot of fun just learning so I am excited for the day I can finally play a full song through!
@NedStarksGhost Playing guitar solos is definitely on another level from strumming chords, but you can get there if you just persevere. Sounds like you're having fun with Johnny Cash. Is that the sort of music you want to play?

@TheBrandedSwordsman There's quite a lot I'd like to play to be honest. I'm just picking songs I like from the JuistinGuitar website based on the chords and difficulty. I think the main thing I want to do is play Rock songs on electric. I'd like to play a mix of Punk Rock and Heavy Rock. Anything from Older Green Day and Blink-182 to some of the classic rock stuff.
I know how scattered that sounds, I'm just happy playing music in general really!
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Hey Foxy! Yeah, you were moments away from us sending out a search-and-rescue for you. 😄
Good to hear your summer break is almost here. It will surely be a well-earned respite and a good time to catch up on gaming, or maybe just get some extra rest!

Ha ha ha aww thanks Sol
I can't wait to just collapse in a heap on the sofa as soon as I walk in the house this evening and not have to worry about getting up at seven in the morning for the next 6 weeks @Th3solution
Surely it can't be worse then all the allegations regarding Ubisoft and it's management @JohnnyShoulder that've just been swept under the rug and forgotten about?
@JohnnyShoulder@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy The ActiBlizz stuff is just horrific. Frat boy culture has zero place in an actual working environment, the abuse African-American women were suffering at ActiBlizz laid out in text is sickening. There’s also more allegations against Ubisoft Singapore come out recently too, racial pay gaps and the like.

... That'll teach me to open my mouth before looking up the story in question 😦
Goddamn I don't even know how to respond to that @nessisonett...
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy What really got me was when someone said that this lawsuit will only be the incidents they know about. Which is true, if there are this number of awful things going on then there’ll be a whole lot more that were quietly swept under the carpet.
@nessisonett oh i love these. to be fair it must suck working for activision and not being a scumbag and having to deal with all this but then it's not just a problem with the games industry - it's a problem with most industry.
