Its somewhat different to the atmosphere when I paid an old "tanner" (i.e.Under 3 pence) so watch the Teatime session at The Vauxhall End of The Oval after our Grammar School lessons which were 50 yards away...


John Edrich, Micky Stewart and Ken Barrington would not have approoved...:)

Can I just say that I am absolutely LOVING the 20/20 cricket! I know that I am missing my football but I find these matches so entertaining! None of these 5 day long cricket matches and then they say its a draw.......how does that work?! Anyone got any spare tickets to sell?

It was no surprise that SA were going to beat England decisively. But hey-ho it?s not real cricket, just a bit of fun, ungraceful slog-fest etc. etc.


Unfortunately that argument would only really hold up if England were any good at any of the other forms of the game.


One thing though. What?s the deal with the twonks it stupid clothes doing the break-dancing?

I've been boring strangers to death telling them to lump on South Africa heavily. Nearly the whole side played IPL, and most did well in it. They bat hard and long, and have most areas of bowling covered.


Also, Parnell and Steyn possess the sort of pinch-cheeked hunger usually found in depression-era New York street gangs.


The dancers are a homage to Billy Bowden's boundary signals.

Yeah, I know it's not a startling piece of knowledge, Quids, but I fancied Saf from long ago - although I have no idea how the odds looked then.


You have to look at how the groups stack up as well - and the ICC handily made that very predictable with their seedings.


If Saf win their group (they have to beat India, which I think they will) they will probably meet NZ in the semi. And I think they have too much game for NZ - similar teams, except Saf have the extra bit of class.


I think SL are the biggest danger to Saf because of their spinners, and the top order will put Parnell and Steyn under pressure. That's the final for me - SL v Saf. Either that or India v Saf, with India having done SL in the other semi.


One caveat: the very top of the order seem to have come off their peak a bit, but I'm trusting Gibbs to play at least one of his specials in the tournament.


Also, as I said, they are supremely rat-faced, which counts for something.

      Shower enclosure installation

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
