Always did where I came from.


Anyway I don't know why you brought up Sid James he wasn't as talented as Graeme Smith in the chin department which may or may not have helped when playing an Englishman. But that is neither here nor there. Although incidentaly Sid James died after collapsing on stage in Sunderland which is where Lewis Carroll was from. Lewis Carroll did not play cricket and wasn?t South African but he did have a chin albeit a rather unremarkable one. And I now cannot mention him without getting that dammed Jamelia song stuck in my head but that probably makes less sense to me than it does to you. Sid James now haunts the Sunderland Empire and another South African is playing the lead role in the first instalment of Ingerland?s summer of Carry On Cricket starting next week with Carry On Up The MCC. Staring Kevin Peitersen as the plucky cockney with the Broad, Sidebottom sisters supporting.

Morning all.


Well the weather seems to be holding for now with the match due to start in 15 minutes. England are on a winning streak but South Africa haven?t lost a test match on this ground since they stopped being a bunch of dirty racists and were let back into international cricket.


South Africa are clear favourites with Smith, Kallis, Pietersen, Prince and Strauss all likely to get runs in this series. Their bowling is also strong although perhaps insane with the village idiot as first change:

Using a similar tactic England has sought the help of a bearded lady.

      Oh Rachel....

      Hardly a non-story @malumbu still one of the lead stories on the BBC.....you clearly don't understand when to serve humble pie! 😉  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgk40l8jm7o   Absolutely. It's a disaster. And for this government, who were happy to tell us they had 14 years to prepare to lead, it has been one self-inflicted disaster after another since they took over. To be honest the signs were there when they were in opposition but I think we all gave them the benefit of the doubt as they weren't the Tories and now they have the reigns the additional scrutiny that brings is tripping them up.

      Phone box in front of Oru...

      I don't think I've ever seen it used other than for gluing advertising on it. It's definitely not a priority but these things typically get ignored and become part of the furniture (so to speak).  There is a beautiful old red box near Upland Rd. I miss old red boxes... 😞 Anyway I'll have a dig around and see if anything can be done.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By Sue · Posted

      £30-40 for M&S Christmas food for two seems very low! And only £60 for food and drink for 8-10 people?  We have had M&S food at Christmas in the past, and it came to a lot more than that. I suppose it depends exactly what you are buying. We left it late to book a Christmas Day meal out last year, so there weren't many options left.  The Cherry Tree menu looked very nice. That was our first mistake. We also overlooked the fact that it was a Young's pub, with all that implies about the food. That was our second mistake. We don't have shedloads of money. We  took the view that we deserved a nice meal  out after working bloody hard all year. So it was doubly disappointing to basically waste a lot of money which could have been very much better  spent elsewhere.

      The Dean's Sermon, Southwark Cathedral - "God, I thank you that I am not like other people"

      No sweetheart. It is a fantastic sermon which should be shared. It is a rights-based sermon which received a standing ovation - if you can be bothered to get to the end.
