Waddya mean a negative? That sounds like it could *be* the England side...

The Irish team is also made up of a handful of South Africans, Kiwis and Australinas with a brace of poms thrown in for good measure.


South Africa has also got in on the act. Chronically unable to grow their own spin bowlers they have stolen one from Pakistan.

Eek, good show from the dutch boy from port elizabeth.


So, almost 300 to chase. Who reckons KP trys to smack it around and is out for two?

Then we panic and play defensively for the next fifteen overs, then look like we might get back into it before a quick collapse?

And you missed a cracker - moving from easy confidence of an historic win while Strauss & Bell were batting to despair as we lost quick wickets during the Power Play (why do England always, always fall apart during a power play) to that most rare of results - a tie. Good stuff and infinitely better than my son's preference for the Carling Cup Final game.

    • There used to be a secondhand hifi & repair shop in the basement of where Love Dulwich Turkish BBQ & Meze Restaurant is at the moment.  I'm trying to find anyone who either remembers the name or even has contact details.  I'm trying to find someone who can do repairs on an old luxman, B&O, etc.  Keeping fingers crossed!
    • David Attenborough has also done programmes on this amazing relationship.  This is from 2010 but I am sure that there were more recent programmes on the Beeb https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p006ry61 Mummy trees are amazing.  
    • Have you considered PIV - positive input ventilation. We retro fitted a Soler & Palau super quiet in-line fan system. This takes cool air from the outside ans is ducted into the loft. It is really quiet and very efficient. It is controlled by a reverse thermostat ie one which shuts the system off when the temperature drops to a set level. We are very pleased with it especially as it costs a fraction of a/c and provides greater flexibility in terms of location of vents and ducting.
    • If you’re into nature or just love trees, this lovely program is worth catching up on https://www.channel5.com/show/the-secret-life-of-trees It’s one of those quietly fascinating watches that leave you thinking about the world a bit differently. I had no idea that trees are connected underground by fungal networks. They use them to share nutrients, water, and even to send signals to each other. They can recognise their kind and give more support to their “relatives” than to other trees nearby. They can also remember things like droughts or pest attacks and change how they respond in the future. No wonder so many cultures and spiritual traditions view trees as sacred. In some belief systems, cutting one down is thought to carry serious karmic consequences. When you learn about how they live, communicate, and support one another, it makes sense. The natural world is far more aware and interconnected than we tend to realise.
