Kangaroos can't fart - scientists are trying to use this knowledge to stop sheep and cows from farting out so much methane - which is a shame when you think of it - all that jumping and no accompaniment.

TBH when i first had that it was a not altogether welcome surprise - like getting the remnants out of a bottle of Daddies by adding a shed load of sarsons... but when you've had it a couple of times going back to vinegar (or the more gruesome 'non-brewed-condiment') is a little disappointing. Must be the air up there... and the 80/-.
Seriously though... a Montenegrin rapper who looks like a bankrupt restaurant owner and an Albanian screamer who would make a monk swear - all presented by infantile moron Scott Mills and the eternally pointless Sara Cox - it's what the summer is all about.

Prefer the art of boxing - and if there's no M of Q on offer I like a bit of Muay Thai. But then I also liked sumo when they showed it on 4 back in the 90s - I like a bit of ritual salt throwing.

Just silly. You forgot 'getting to first base' 'rain check' 'hardball' 'right off the bat' 'out of left field' 'touch base' 'step up to the plate' 'strike out' and 'a whole new ball game'. (incidentally the whole 9 yards has a confused origin - not sporting - as do the alternatives 'whole ball of wax' and 'whole enchilada' or 'the whole shebang' - all indeed as uncertain in their origins as the English equivalent of 'the full monty'). Perhaps we should stick to cricket terms - 'all rounder', 'on the front foot', 'bowled a googly' 'hit for six' etc.
Yeah - especially as, rather than wear a suit, he had actually changed into his kit... is he hoping that in the dim and distant future when people see the photos they will think he played?
agreed - after the misery of day two this has got more and more interesting ... thought Blowers was going to have a fit at the end "He's out! He's gone! Oh my word what excitement we have here now! Well that rather takes the shine off his hundred" and trying to picture the field settings as he rattles out- "he's got two slips, a gully no, two gullys a backward square leg, a fine leg, and- oh I really do think they might have another close-in now..." All this and ducks flying towards the commentary box... it was fate...
I went back in 1989 but found it easy enough using the buses etc. to get around. Don't dismiss Catania straight off - a big town but there are some interesting parts of it and a great market and it's handy for Etna. Cefalu (north coast) was great but I think it's changed in recent years (more hotels etc. - though not necessarily a bad thing) And Palermo itself - whilst a little maddening - has a lot to recommend it - especially the Capuchin catacombs if well-dressed corpses in various states of mummification are your bag. I would say - eat at the markets wherever you are (cheapest food and often the best), use buses, drink ice cold birra grandes at the little street stands and avoid the outdoor cafe seating in the touristy places and you could stretch your budget a fair way. Also beware of the 'private' beaches, they're often only marked by low fences or lines of beach-huts but sit in the wrong place and they'll try and charge you.

Well if today was supposed to be an advert for test cricket the IPL have won hands down... This kind of slow play and ridiculous over rate could put you to sleep at the wheel... is that snoring I hear from the Tavern stand? Y-A-W-N- - - - - - -!
