What is the point? If by Wasps you mean, White Anglo Saxon Protestants then I completely agree.

Well in preparation for tomorrow's run I have dusted off the old safari suit and borrowed one of these sholley things from the little old lady next ddor.

Those are wonderfully practical pieces of kit and I have considered getting one on a few occasions. Not only can you fit all you shopping in them but you also save the rainforests and fluffy bunnies because you don?t need plastic bags.

Well then we probably cross posted on there too Piers as so was I.

Seen as it is Friday. European Championship of Beers

Yeah but I do like the fact that Mark Butcher personally sends out their e-mail newsletter. Makes me feel well special.

They?re for people who work in things like sales and marketing and go off to conferences in places like Coventry and Brum. What the expletive is a sholley?

I was thinking more along the lines of the kind of families you get in some middle eastern and African societies where there will be 1 husband with a number of wives. They may all be ovulating at the same time but will the 1 guy be able to do the rounds in that time? Suppose it depends on how many wives he has. Wasps Mr Popaplatypus? Where?

As a long time follower of the Guardian?s commentary I have also watched as the others have tried and for the most part failed to imitate it. In fact I still remember the first one I read, which was this little rant: http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2003/mar/14/cricketworldcup2003.overbyoverreports

Documenting things like this photographically is never a good idea. I shall ask my lovely wife to bring the camera.

I try to gather my news from as many different sources as possible and draw my own conclusions about what is really going on. You may think that when it come to cricket commentary this is not necessary which is a fair point but it is amusing to compare the different editorial styles. These are all from the same over. Firstly, the Beeb - succinct and descriptive. "More angling across Jimmy from Martin. One slides too far and is called a wide; another climbs like Hillary and almost takes his nose off." Cricinfo ? pure information with little elaboration "Martin to Anderson, no run, that's a cracker from Martin, outside off and moves away later, Anderson is beaten as he prods forward." The Times ? Descriptive and elegant if a little poncy. "Fabulous delivery from Martin is far too good for Anderson, beating him all end's up. "If you'd edged that you'd know you're in pretty good nick," says Michael Atherton. The pair scamper through for a single and Anderson keeps the batting" The Guardian ? Irate and petulant. "Hey guess what everyone? These piece-of-goddamn junk computers than were installed on our desk earlier this week? Well they've crashed again. Words fail me. I'll be back just as soon as me and the rest of the A team have jerry rigged a working website together with Mr T's welding kit, a sheet of iron, some scrap circuit boards and a couple of hub caps."

A Fiddle.

I could have something to do with that. Human societies with a high male mortality rate (coz young men tend to get themselves killed in battle or wrestling mammoths) become polygamous as there are more women than men. So there is probably some long standing evolutionary reason for it. It may even be to ensure that they all don?t fall pregnant at the same time.

Just where exactly is Gibberia anyway?

Technically neither is mine so I?m with you on this one Mac. Don?t let these limey petulists insult your vernacular.

The only place you are likely to come across trouble in ED would be outside the pubs on the bottom bit of Lordship Lane on a Friday with all and sundry all stellad up and spilling out onto the pavements. Even then it is unlikely. You will only get trouble in the Le Bastille if you do something like insult one of the regulars.

Yes, recklessly and with intent.

So the prize is a bear with Help-Me-Boab written on it.

Metric is fine for everything except a persons height. People being X metres tall is just wrong. SteveT I have shared drinks with AnnaJ and shorty a few times. Granted they told me to bugger off and leave their drinks alone but none the less?

Choke? What you mean like lose-it from the stress of it all, forget the way to the Clock House and end up in the Silver Buckle downing pints and demanding to know from all and sundry, ?Did I win??

Can we time the drinking separately? I'm sure I could make liberal with the arse kicking on that front.

And it makes you live longer! http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-06/uow-air060208.php Now if the Latter Day Temperance League would kindly bugger off to whatever Daily Mail lined hole they crawled out of please.
