I believe it's the order in which they've appeared for England, i.e. the 638th person to represent England at Test level.

I saw Alec Stewart's last ever innings at the oval too (plus it was home turf) and that was a very emotional ovation that he received.

It didn't hurt that I was a guest of Graham Beck's so the wine flowed quite literally freely all afternoon. Thank you brother mine for falling ill that afternoon and sending me in your stead!


Surely even Eng 'from the jaws of victory' land can't lose the ashes from this position.

Ok, so, cricket's not really my thing, but every man I'm related to in any way loves it, so yesterday I thought I'd try and get to grips with this (amazing what a girl will do instead of studying)


So, let me see if I've got this, if we get them all out we've won and the only way they could win is by staying in until the end of Monday, scoring, ummm, 400 and something or if it rained from now til Monday evening.


Well, even I'm a bit excited by that!


ps - I'm not teasing by the way, I really am exceptionally dim about sports and it took me a good part of yesterday to figure that out.

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By beansprout · Posted

      Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….

      Just be careful to know exactly what they cover and the limits. i use Many Pets and Medivet, as I think one of the vets is exceptionally good. Some of the NHV are, but I’ve had a couple I’ve not liked at all.  I need consistency and to feel that they actually care more about the animals than the money.

      I haven't used them myself but I noticed recently that "Snoots" in Forest Hill is going unlimited primary care for £33/month, so basically a subscription. Easy access on the 176 from East Dulwich. I have no idea what it includes so read the contract! It's a chain but only 5 branches so not a mega corporate. 🤷‍♂️ https://www.snootsvet.com/find-us
