Apparently the English players are now getting worried about going to the IPL. That's because Pakistan and India are exactly the same, innit? Stupid people. How about not letting anyone go to Asia at all. Infact, no need to travel east ever. We can just play the West Indies for the next 20 years. Th...

When it comes to the smoking debate, I hate the following people: 1-3 Half the world 4) Tobogganists, for selling these things to the unsuspecting mugs for a tidy profit. 5 etc - the other half I think Keeeeeebaaaaab is a little hard on tobogganists - all they do is have a little outdoor fun on sno...

Still think the most surprising thing about this is that Dominic Cork has a job working as a commentator for Pakistani TV. A little random.

Tonight - Chippie tea. I can't wait. Take it you've heard the Lancashire Hotpots song of the same name? I was working late so slapped a burger and a mozzarella-in-breadcrumbs between two thick loaf-end crusts. Tell you what, if I had my time again I wouldn't change my mind. But it's not Friday, as ...

I don't think you quite got what Jimbo was saying Tango ...You should be applauding him. I think it cannot be denied that smoking does shorten one's life - although the ones you lose are of course the worst :wink: Oh, I did Monty. I read his post, but felt duty bound to fly the flag. Got to keep up...

Tis an interesting one, but smokers cost the most to the institution. Tis a very slippery slope to just carry on as normal. If other drugs are so tightly controlled I've often wondered why cigarettes aren't. Then I generally wake up and remember that a few people make billions of dollars out of it,...

Dear General, that's not funny. Pull in your horns for a bit. No doubt the perpetrators of this foul act meant to bring upon Pakistan the wrath of the world. If so they have succeeded. Perhaps they were Tamil Tigers? Perhaps they were of some ridiculous religious group? I'll await further news, but...

Anybody seen the TV ad (forgotten what for) with the guy doing tricks on crutches. Quite amazing. I had a go at that a couple of years ago after I'd had a knee operation. I was doing alright until the handle of the crutch snapped off leaving me in a painful heap on the floor. It set my recovery bac...

I haven't seen any images from the test, but 1600+ runs with a session to spare, plus three declarations (@6, @9 & @2), indicate that someone must have substituted the corker with a thick-walled red tennis ball. Blimey! Of course it could be that neither side has bowlers capable of performing again...

Tonight I am cooking spaghetti with mussels in a tomato sauce with a hint of chilli! Few shavings of parmesan on top. Lovely. Nice. When I go for something like that I use just a simple sauce with a splash of white wine, olive oil, garlic, onion, basil, and fresh cherry tomatoes. Got to be careful ...

Was just going to start a thread on this myself. No chance a team with half a mind will travel there for a long while. Cricket and politics always find a way of getting involved with each other. With respect to the five police who were killed, we're lucky as it could have been so much worse.

Wow, how things change! Who are the contenders now then? Friedel, Hangelaand ? Can't think of many more who've been too hot to be honest. Berbatov maybe, but considering what he cost maybe not. Hangelaand was signed last season. Surely Robbie Keane to Liverpool must be on the list! :mrgreen: Sorry!...
