Finally deciding if I can conjure 20 names for my long-desired theme team: What A Load of Cobblers (20 people from Northampton).

Er yeah obviously. Christ didn't you have a grandmother? did Deathray run off with her?

or women's football or tiddlywinks Never heard of the guy.

On the contrary, I swear all the time and I know fucking everything. And you say it's a big turn off in women? That's not what you said last night when I was *****ing you in the **** with a candle while you ****ed all over my ****. YOU FUCKING LOVED IT! Keep going, Lardy, I'm nearly there...

I have met Terry. He was an arse. Of all this years list, I'd most like to meet PD James. Not read her books, but meeting a ghost would be cool.

Where's that? regards, Hein

I have no great love of cricket, anything that in it's proper form takes 5 days and often still results in a draw stretches the boundaries of what should probably be considered a sport (pun entirely intentional), and the shorter forms are bastardisations of varying degrees in my view. However listening to Ritchie on a long summers afternoon could hold my attention in a way few other commentators have ever done, he was charming and non-partisan in a way only a few others seem to manage today (Peter Aliss might be one, and I care for golf even less than cricket) and this from somebody whose loyalties one has to suppose lay with the opposition (since I'm English). I can still call up the lilt of his voice in my head at will and suspect I'm hardly alone in this. It's people like Ritchie that keep me (mostly lurking) on this site. In many ways this place is a better celebration of folks lives than some schmaltzy obit. I already miss him as a commentator, and the world will be the poorer without him. In other news: "Ha! I found that bottle opener, so that's where it was...."
