Loved them in the later 80s, when I discovered them, up to the mid 90s I guess. Since then, successive albums have been a bit patchy but I do quite like the last one. Still best experienced live.
A chap I was at […]

That’s never gone out of use, certainly in our house.

Sounds like a round of Word for Word on ISIHAC.

Leftover wine.
I didn’t even know there was such a thing.

Good point re Jan not being the best month.
Good luck to anyone who is, of course.

Indeed. Some things should be left alone, even Ronnie Dio as guest vocalist couldn’t drag it out of the mire.
And have just noticed that the London date of the three in 1988 was at the Town & Country Club, not t […]

Broad captain?
At least it would save them the trouble of deciding what to do with the reviews after the third over. Broad will have burned them by then.
A shambles is the way to describe it all, I’m afraid.

Good to see RDB getting a mention. I am partial to her music.

And the PCR was positive, thanks Santa.
I preferred my Motocourse book and Hotel Chocolat marzipan, for the record.

Still, much admin to do, and I can’t drown my sorrows if I’m not allowed in the same room as […]

Thanks Steve. Its all very new to me. Your support is much appreciated, I may take you up on that.
Have a good one.

Well…
I’ve seen more of the inside of the NHS this year than I have for the previous 20, and they’ve been remarkable in all cases. Some just wonderful people.
I’ll spare the gore, but after a rotator cuff […]

Fine cricketing nation. England might be able to give them a game these days.

You do get the feeling Warney is a pretty universally disliked man, and I find that easy to believe. That point about Punter in that article is bang on. Honest without being derogatory, he’s a great caller of the game.

That’s impressive even if it was the Maldives. Which I’m sure it wasn’t.

I’ve been bowled like that myself, but also bowled opposition players that way too, though at about half the speed.
I, too, am not a test opener. Frankly, I’m barely a can opener.

Burns just *looks* a […]

Broad’s always livid if he’s not picked.
Picking Wood over Broad on what looks like a damp, sweaty greentop is baffling.
And that’s before you get the inevitable consequence of Wood playing a test, which is […]

Burns made it unplayable by tying himself in a knot with an exaggerated front foot move that was far too far over to the off. To be bowled round your legs first ball of any innings is pretty embarrassing, first […]

Duel is indeed a choon of immense proportions.

England women’s biggest win in a competitive game, trumpets the BBC, stretching the definition of the word “competitive” to breaking point.

Miserly Spasm

I’ll be putting the IMF on standby for a seismic shift in the local economy’s foundations on my return from the Chatsworth Christmas market thing today. Mums, you know…

Of course, massi […]
