Yesterday was 02/02/2020. A palindrome date!

Also the day in which the date format (mm/dd or dd/mm) doesn't matter. Cheers to zero confusion for 24 hours

My staff have just been briefed on the Coronavirus, it's spreading quickly but there are ways to limit catching it!

Avoid touching your face/eyes when you're out and about.
Use paper tissues to cough or sneeze into, then get rid of tissue in a bin that has a lid on it.
Avoid shaking hands if possible.
Keep your hands clean by washing them frequently with hot water and soap.
Use a hand sanitiser.

Just a few tips to keep my friends here safe and well!

Sledging is a term used in cricket to describe the practice whereby some players seek to gain an advantage by insulting or verbally intimidating the opposing player. The purpose is to try to weaken the opponent's concentration, thereby causing them to make mistakes or underperform. It can be effective because the batsman stands within hearing range of the bowler and certain close fielders; and vice versa.
