Why don't you get yourself a proper name, and register?

I've been discussing this match on a couple of cricket forums (or fora if you insist). There are plenty of them around. One member of the cricketwebnet forum has more than 32,000 posts to his name which the likes of TF can only dream about.
I'm going on Monday, by the way - if it's still going then.

No point talking to you about the cricket then!
Home counties England, me. Born and raised in Surrey, lived in Kent since 1987.

last night the old man and the Queen Mother were on Larry King.
That's a "threesome" I wish I hadn't had to visualise.

Hello Amanda! Nice to have you back.

With the best will in the world I am still not convinced that D O'C (^) is female.I agree with the honourable member there. Something didn't seem quite right - perhaps that's why (s)he's done a runner.

Happy birthday, Lady G, from me. Do you like tennis? If you do you may know you share your birthday with both Tim Henman and Greg Rusedski ... and Sir John Johnson, chairman of the Countryside Commission, 1991-95.

When he pegs it, will he be archipela-gone?

Dylan seems to have disappeared, too. Last post was two weeks ago.
Such a short attention span, these young 'uns.

I've been here before, but I would suggest that Farmer Martin is better known in the UK than Crooner Martin. Perhaps he should be listed too, though he seems fairly capable of defending himself.
-
From what we've heard, even he wouldn't share your optimism.

Why did he keep working if he was so old and sick? It wasn't like he was Pope or anything.
Not a very happy home life, would be my guess.

Quality is more important than quantity I believe. I only post on here when I actually have something to say.
Err ...
That's it.

Death toll - Asian Tsunami ~250 000
Hurricane Katrina ~ 5 000
Hmmm.
Also, the victims of the Asian Tsunami had no warning..
To be fair, this is by far the biggest natural disaster that's hit the United States since the country came into being. It's entirely understandable that the US media will compare it with the Asian tsunami even if the numbers don't match up. Of course we all know that it wouldn't be getting the same blanket coverage if it had happened in, say, Bangladesh, but that's just the way the world is.
What would interest me is to know how it's all being reported in Arab countries, the Middle East in particular. Are they calling it "the revenge of Allah" or similar?

What about lionel blair??He always used to be on TV in the 80's with a BIG chessy Grin
That's when his Queen had been bashing the Bishop - he's a bit of a Pawn star, obviously.
Good Knight!

Apparently she made a pass at Gary Lineker, for God's sake....And did he score?
-
It's the opening line to "Alabama Song" which I believe was covered by the Doors (it suits Jim Morrison's voice pretty well) and by David Bowie on a 1980 single. I've found a webpage with the lyrics on but it doesn't attribute a writer.

Lotte Lenya[/url] (one-time wife of Berthold Brecht.)That must have been a happy little household....please tell me they never had children...
She was married to Kurt Weill not Berthold Brecht. Still probably not a very happy home, though. Was he the man who wrote "Oh show me the way to the next whisky bar?"

Surprise, surprise, it looks like it's going to push up the price of petrol.
Just wasted ten minutes trying to post a link to the BBC site - still can't work out how to do it

"At least fifty" killed, according to latest reports.

Companys want the big bucks and that is all. They don't care about our ego systemThat's true - mine has been deflated for years.

Speaking of Queen Victoria, and she doesn't come up for discussion on here very often (having died in 1901), it always annoys me when someone says "of course, she never actually said 'we are not amused.' " And I'm like, how do you know? How do you know she never said it? What they mean is, never said it in public. She could have said it anytime, even in her sleep.
Just wanted to get that off my chest. I'm alright now.

Yup, we're arrogant, but hey! We're going to stuff the Aussies in this test at least! (and yes, I'm prepared to have this one bite me on the arse if it rains for the next 3 days)
Cricket, some say is the sporting equivalent of war ie 99% boredom, 1% terror.
A bit like painting or perhaps golf?
A five test series is a form of preparation for death, after enduring the full series,death seems positively welcome. Wars are over in less time,than this futile sport takes to decide who wins a cup full of ashes.
That's fine Tempus, you don't have to watch it. How about the spectacle of 22 numbskulls hoofing a bit of leather up and down a field for 90 minutes, I'm sure that's much more your cup of tea. And we've got at least 9 more months of that to look forward to.
Famous death imminent

Its the only chance of fulfilling your ambition of becoming a moderator - about as much chance as I have of being made President of Turkmenistan, but hey, we can all dream.
