doing nowt

[Burney]

sitting here on my bruised jacksie with hee-haw to do as off work due to cycling injury picked up on friday and want entertained. at least the palpable capacity i haven't excreted from my being for inquisition and intrigue has not waned and run completely dry.... yet.

never posted here before but thought the lounge appropriate for rambling about unrelated nonsensical, unstructured guff. whats it all about? so far my day has amounted to three-quarters of a cinema pack of minstrels, two bowls of home made pea soup and a few naps involving uncontrollable twitching. not saying im unhappy with that, but at 31 and three-hundred and sixty, three-hundred and sixty-fifths, is this it?

is there still a world of possibility that beckons the unbeckonable? possibly? probably? or is it more realistic to pontificate: whats the point?

im sure a wee gin, purely medicinal, wont fail to satisy these levels of mediocraty.

maudlin anyone?

[red devil]

Speak to Muley, you'll get on like a house on fire...

[Jah Lush]

Get thee down the pub.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

You're off when TMS is on? What's your problem?

[????]

online poker, the EDF and Betfair...sorted

[woofmarkthedog]

So you obviously work for a company then! How much of a bruised arse do you need to stay of work?

Listen, tossing yourself of between soup & minstrels is no way to waste your time .......but adding mindless hours on this forum to your feckless life.....well now you're talking!

Welcome Burney.

W**F

[????]

Cricket on the radio too would be nice

[reggie]

Sounds like you need a little philosophical lift...sly and reggie style

Develop a philosophy you know its not too late

[Burney]

sly and reggie eh? are you the boy that belts it out off the back of a morris minor?

day three done. seventeen more to go. minstrels finished.

Happy birthday, though.

Test Match Special - It's a cricket thang...

[david_carnell]

You don't know what TMS is? My dear Ann, it is the epitome of British Summers.

It is simply, the commentary of cricket (currently the Ashes) on Radio 4 Longwave - or Test Match Special.

But it is far more complex than that. It has such lyrical luminaries as Aggers, Blowers and, err, Boycott. But let's gloss over the latter.

Talk is often not even of a cricket nature - and this is regularly the best bit as they ruminate on subjects as diverse as pigeons or cake - but it's vividly descriptive tales of bygone matches and cricketing personalities make it unmissable should one be at leisure during any England cricketing exploits. Tune in tomorrow as we decimate the Orignial POM's batting line up.

Larks.

Ho ho ho.

[Burney]

im all for the endless mumbling chat (peter alliss is a personal idol), but i cant think of anything more treacherously dull than all that droning, culminating in some cricket pun. pish.

off to prepare for tomorrow's struggle: curly wurly, tin of tennents blue and this months heat magazine. what is the appropriate cleaning cycle to wash ones pants under, ensuring a thorough yet economical procedure?

[Ann]

Thanks for that. On a slightly lower level of cricket playing; my son is playing next Tuesday in the Croydon Schools U 13s final. Cricket fans rest assured the game is thriving at lower levels.

David, I don't mean to come across as rude or even worse, working class...but when you wrote that post were you sitting on the edge of the village green drinking a warm pint of Hook Nortons whilst wearing a straw boater or have you just dressed up as Bertie Wooster...again.

Sorry, I just had to ask.

I'll get back in my box now.

[david_carnell]

BBW - you, rude? Surely not?

Whilst a pint of chesnut coloured ale with a frothy head, supped whilst over looking a village green cricket match moistens my eyes I'm afraid that message was written whilst still in my pyjamas from a terraced house in Peckham. Somewhat less romantic.

As for the straw boater and Bertie Wooster fantasies you should pop along to Bedford Square Gardens on Saturday where you might bump into me competing in the Chap Olympics.

Pip pip.

[Ted Max]

Blowers is a fraudulent, thin-skinned, thick-headed, money-grabbing fuckstick.

In my opinion.

[david_carnell]

Do you know something I don't Ted?

[Ted Max]

He's not a very nice man, David. Insecure and self-promoting. Lacks warmth.

Oh heow splendid, a big red bus going down the Harleyford Road, absoleutley marvellous.

[david_carnell]

Have you met him Ted? Or is this a feeling you get from his plummy Old-Etonian tones?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Get a grip, Ted. Stop believing everything you read in The Guardian and switch to The Telegraph.

[Ted Max]

I have met him once. He was fine.

But I know lots of people who know him quite well through posh cricket circles, and they don't like him at all. And these are all Telegraph reading posh types.

Apologies M'lud.

Tell Lady Carnell that the boy will be round to refill the coal bunker at tomorrows first light. His sister Hattie will come in the afternoon to polish the brass and silver ware.

Your oratory in church last Sunday brought back golden yet saddening memory's of when you'd address the men on Flanders field before we'd wet our bayonets.
