I know little of cricket, being of Irish stock, not my fault of course but there we are.

Samuel Beckett was quite the follower of leather upon willow, though.

And he counted for quite a bit in the theatre.

Whether that meant as much or more to Max Wall when he played 'Krapp' or when he was a support act to Mott The Hoople, it's of course difficult to say.

Anyway, the point, if indeed point I have one is to suggest a 'tribute' cricket team, one that goes and plays other cricket teams, perhaps in 'classic' matches. If such things exist.


I don't know who could 'play' him, but I'm going with the team with 'Fiery' Trueman adopting the name 'Right Fred's Dead'.

Oh, Krapp, I just realised that 'Right Fred's Dead' would likely as not be the name of a Queen tribute band, would that be what Trueman might have sidled toward?

Happen not.

But Queen tribute band, there tha goes, so tha does.

I reckon allus is, is as it was, an' all that were nowt, were thraped from't start.

See if I'm not right.

If it isn't, then I don't know my somewhat irreverent tribute bands, and let's face it I do.

ABBRAcadabra, 'the magic of the 70s', Pink Fluid, 'Comfortably Numb' with paraffin, Docksy Music, the band that's there lining up when the Ferry comes into the harbour, Durian Duran, they stink at first, but then despite it all there's a sweetness, 'Save A Prayer', mmmm, OK.


I'm not even going near What The Hoople and their nod to Mary Whitehouse, with 'All The Young Prudes'.


Still.

    • I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
    • Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
    • Kam was with us last week to wallpaper a bedroom. He was a pleasure to deal with and did a fantastic job - very neat and matched the tricky pattern very well. Would certainly use again. 
    • What a bunch of pieholes. 2025 and you peasants have nothing to be grateful for. I have been inside the library recently and honestly the old girl is crying for a facelift, the goddamn carpet looks like it survived the world war and some. The Library is one of the oldest in Southwark and you are crying about a study place? What a bunch of bullshit. You have libraries all around you for your kids to go their studying you rotten sausage. How about be happy that the library is going to look absolutely stunning rather than be a whining bitch about it   Also, I have been told that the staffs have to work in the smaller libraries together. How do you think they feel?
