Oh Brendan, darling, you are so right - your first post, not the second. You have exquisite manners - I love it when you stand on a lady's arrival/departure, etc, you could teach the chaps of ED a thing or too.
Brendan, I'm cutting out newspaper letters at the moment; I will kidnap a certain cat and send a ransome demand. And if that doesn't work, the duck gets it.
No, they don't. Ended up going to the White Horse - nice old fashioned feel, great barman and only ?2.60 a pint. He turned the sound up for us too. I really don't like the referral system! I know Flintoff gained his wicket off the back of it but I still strongly feel that the umpire's word is law - some you win, some you lose. I don't want to watch perfectly technical cricket - human element is what makes it exciting/frustrating.
That's silly - he was the only decent thing out there yesterday. Botham was commentating when he got out and his view was if you have a flamboyant player like KP, you take the rough with the smooth. Much as I dislike KP for various reasons, I'd rather watch him play than someone like Boycott.
Agree it's rather wussy. My daughter has walked from her school in Westminster to home before (4.8 miles) when buses have been up the spout. Admittedly not in snow, but it's not an insurmountable distance for a healthy adult.
