We were talking about that fifty quid you still owe me, remember? Well I guess not but it’s true. Honest.

You have always been and, it would appear, will always remain a complete puff when it comes to cricket. Look at me? I played cricket for years and it never did me any harm. Apart from a permanently broken finger, and dodgy knees and a back which stiffens up from time to time and a slightly sore shoulder (well I was a bowler, you know, not one of those lazy ass batsmen), and I did get hit on the head a couple of times but I don’t think most of my mental problems can be traced back to that, though I do forget things from time to time…..like….er….what were we talking about again?

Mini keg is deffo better. Not sure how much Jack D. you’re going to have to add to a 5 litre can though. Quite a bit me thinks.
As for the link on Aluminium, I’m getting a bit worried for you Lucy!

Love the link on aluminium. Lost myself in the map of global aluminium output. Stunned that there’s so much of it in Britain, that it’s not ‘normally’ soluble in water. (What does THAT mean?) And mused on your hunch that it’s just too 20th century for words - and thus probably on the way out. Coke in mini kegs?

Don’t worry.

I’ll have to send you the link to the latest scientific report entitled, “Hammering the nail in deeper is not harmful to the human psyche.”

It’s a blast.

My bloke read about that study and came to me yesterday morning all dismayed. I wish I’d read this post and been able to reassure him because all I did was hammer the nail in deeper. “Well,” I said to him. “A recent study says that older women have children with higher IQs, so our kids should just about make the average.” It’s not often older women have the evolutionary edge on older men. Let us enjoy our little moment of schadenfreude. Lucy

You know that what they often do is write the card when they’re back in the van and then post it later, so it arrives the next day? I should stress I have no evidence of this other than hearsay, but it explains why sometimes I’ve been “red carded” when I was very clearly home at the time.

Nice blog you’ve got here, some interesting bits and pieces!

Comment on It’s NOT cricket. Hurrah! by Lee

Yes I thought you’d like this story. It brings me to mind a previous abandoned Test match at Jamaica 10 years or so ago. Brian Lara had just replaced Jamaican hero Courtney Walsh as the West Indies captain and the natives were, as they say, restless. Anyway, their mood bucked up a little because England made their usual great start and were about 15-3 inside an hour. The difference this time was not typical English ineptitude but a seriously dangerous pitch, which appeared liable to either break your foot or bash your head depending upon which blade of grass the ball happened to alight upon. After the physio had departed the field for the umpteemth time, the England captain, Mike Atherton, asked Lara his opinion of the pitch. Lara agreed it was dangerous and the game should be abandoned. However, Atherton himself would have to request this from the match referee alone. When Atherton asked why Lara replied, “They already hate me here.They’ll lynch me if I ask the match to be abandoned now!”
