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.

      Another recommendation for Niko. Great communication, top guy, and super reliable and skilled - all at a fair price. Takes a lot of care in what he does and talks you through everything.

      Bitey Fox.

      Some foxes are very tame. The foxes that live near the electricity sub-station thing on the corner of Calton and Woodwarde will happily walk up to you/passed you. They are some of the best looking foxes around so clearly being well-fed - glorious coats and bushy tails but interested in humans and keen to engage/be fed rather than being scared.

      Let’s not all get scared of the foxes now. Most likely explanation is protecting its den or association with food. We have foxes, and cats and they are no bother to each other. The fox will leave when the cats are out.

      Bitey Fox.

      By Happyme5 · Posted

      I remember seeing something a few years ago on TV about a fox that was actually biting through people's shopping / takeaway food bags.  It was situated in an alleyway.  Not in London.  Very interesting in how the  urban foxes brain development has  been affected by their surroundings.   Not an exact quote from Darwin.  It's the adaptable that survive / not the strongest or the most intelligent.   I would be worried if a fox came close me.   Because they might be after my fur babies and they carry a lot of nasties.   Although they look beautiful from a distance or on a 🎄 card.
