Murali - Goodrich Road

[Ted Max]

I saw the Tamil wizard practising his doosras off the gable end of Goodrich Road, as it meets Sylvester Road. My mate Dave shouted no ball as we went by on our micro-scooters, but I've told Dave that he's bang out of order.

What Test cricketers have you seen on the Streets of ED, recently?

[Ted Max]

This reminds me- Goochie used to have a net in the alley behind Mirash. The under chef there was a useful leggie, and reckoned Goochie couldn't pick his top spinner. After the net, Gatt would come down and he and Goochie woulod go through the menu, before meeting Embers at the Foresters for a gallon.

WG Grace was having a swift Frappucino in the Blue Mountain after his early morning constitutional on Tuesday

[Ted Max]

Oh aye - Gracie's usually looking for a hit. I've skittled him once up on Peckham Rye and he's just put the bails back on and said "Play on". My mate Dave wanted to shit in his kitbag for that, but I've told Dave that he's bang out of order.

They came to see him bat not you bowl Ted. Give Dave a shoeing from me will ya.

Shane Warne was in Favourite Fried Chicken on Saturday night.

[Brendan]

Is that in the spirit of the thread as more than likely it isn?t made up?

Saw Chris Tavare walking down LL today, walking very slowly, getting in eveyone's way.

Geoff Boycott was cutting up curtain material in Linwood & Searle muttering something about 'line and length'.

[Ted Max]

I reckon that wasn't Warnie, PGC, from behind he looks exactly like my mate Dave.

Mick Mac, that's a good spot on Tavers. Do you think he was in the area to check out the people carrier for sale (MOT in post) outside the HiFi Station?

I think he's got work now as a driver for Kent CC, giving tours of the outgrounds. What that man doesn't know about Sevenoaks Vine isn't worth knowing.

Got another one for you. Gary Kirsten runs a tiling and decor business out of those new units behind the Plough. Good tidy job. Nothing flash, but gets the job done. His brother is useless though, so make sure you get Gary.

Brian Close was in the Bishop the other Saturday and there was a massive 'off' and he just stood there and took 3 or 4 bottles in the face. Didn't bat an eyelid. They don't make them like that anymore.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I swear it was Trevor Chappell testing out deodorants in Day Lewis Pharmacy.

[????]

Arf, arf, loving it PGC

He must finish at 7, cos he is now in the Plough sinking pints of Stella. If I were his wife I'd make myself scarce.

Saw Derek Randall in a few shops today - but every time he sees me, he runs out.

'Beefy' Botham in Jacks this morning having his breakfast: Houmous and rocket wrap and a cup of fruit tea.....he left nearly half of his wrap.

I spotted Freddie Trueman entertaining Raquel Welch in the Plough last Sunday.

When Raquel complained that her Addlestones cider was cloudy he retortrd "What dost tha want for ?3.40, thunder an' fookin' lightnin'"?

Fiery Fred, still a card I thought.

[HonaloochieB]

Then I remembered his flame went out in 2006, so who WAS that with Raquel?

One of the Comptons, they is PLAYAZ man

Saw Bob Willis (1980s version) in the barbers on Barry Road. He was there ever such a long time. Sean the Barber had Daizie's hedge trimmers out.

Does anywhere still have bar billiards? Beige professional Yorkshiremen are optional, obviously, but welcome.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

As it happens, Mike Gatting is currently in Burgess Park. He ate all the scones at tea.

That last bit was a lie but my brain can't think of anything amusing right now.

People really should smoke more pipes.

[EDKiwi]

I think dogs smoking pipes are much better.
