loved this on the guardian obo.


""I'm reading this in Johannesburg where the summer has started, apparently, with a lot of turbulent weather and not enough blazing hot sunshine. I thought India were tremendous against Australia and I'm really looking forward to seeing England do a job against them. Don't be too tough on England early-doors, OK; give 'em a chance..." Tim they've already had their chance. I'm an English sports journalist and, as befits the heritage of my trade, I only have two gears: England are either the greatest team on earth or the shabbiest, there is no middle ground."

Some poor Englishman without the backbone to handle it who would be constantly on the brink of losing his position, nervous breakdown and severe IBS.


As Piers pointed out, as a nation you aren't exactly supportive of your players.

Just heard that the tour has been cancelled due to the terrorist attack in Bombay.


I understand why, it would be intolerable for the Indian security forces to have to up protection at this time, but it makes me mad when we give in to terrorism.

      It won't have been the Prime Minister or the Mayor of London because they have both jetted off to Brazil to hector us all about so-called climate change.  So it may well have been Rachel Reeves.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By beansprout · Posted

      Many years ago, I actually cooked a meal for all who wanted to come ….. In this day and age, with social media being in our faces..yes, I don’t live in ED, but visit,  why doesn’t Christian spirit happen? I would think, few people even know their neighbours…. Life, busy etc. We all live in one world..human kindness is all around..In a city, people are scared to make human contact, especially when who knows what might happen. Can clearly remember, coming back in summer with friends,  side door had been jimmied.. nothing was taken from inside.. When I lived in ED and when I visit, it is Me who starts a conversation.. never know where that might lead, or in deed where it might take one.. Notice my post, in general did not have response I was hoping for .. that is fine.. So, Will start again, and ask personally.how can I thank or make a donation to keep forum going.. We should be proud, to have a forum like this..
