There's not much doing, it's true
If I wasn't on my phone I'd be furiously clicking f5 like, uh, whatever WoW players furiously click when they're in the middle of some murderous geekfest. As it is I'm just very very bored.

Yeah
I'm on a cricket forum and I love cricket with all my heart but I need to get off it every so often because there are people there who are OBSSESSED.

I mean - Cricket is my love but I do other things sometimes.

Like - being on b3ta...

I like cricket
It's so twee. How anyone can't love a sport where you wear jumpers in the summer and have to pray it rains just to get a draw.. Rugby is better though (although I was probably better at cricket at school)

Twee
Really isn't the term I'd use.

It's a deeply psychological game and it's won or lost on mental actuity.

In other words - they know they're fucked and they're terrified.

In other other words - BRESNAN. He should have played Perth but that's by the by.

I'm rather drunk and I must sleep now.

It's not the same :'(
Although Aggers, Tuffers and Boycotts commentary is second to none.
( djtrialprice, Sun 26 Dec 2010, 22:50, Reply)

Boycott would, I'm afraid
Receive a wholehearted kick in the chods from me should I ever meet him.

His abysmal style of "stop and block" turned a whole generation off test cricket.

He talks utter shite and contradicts himself every few sentences.

He's a wife beater and a thoroughgoing cunt.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Sun 26 Dec 2010, 23:05, Reply)

Because of the last point
I've always thought he was a cunt. But his commentary makes me belly laugh on the odd occasion.
( djtrialprice, Sun 26 Dec 2010, 23:09, Reply)

Sorry.
But he wants all cricket to be his 1980's "don't play any ball unless you can get a single off it" style.

I'm a lifer at Yorkshire (despite being from Lancashire and supporting them) and his presence on the board has dragged YCCC down to where they are.

Watch it.
Learn it. Understand it.

It can be confusing. It can appear to be dull.

But once you learn it it's the most rewarding spectactor sport ever.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Sun 26 Dec 2010, 23:09, Reply)

I quite enjoyed watching it
It does seem to move either incredibly slowly or very very very quickly.

They're generally sizing each other up, or playing the psychological game.

I'm shit at psychology and forward-planning
I play chess one move at a time and make little mystery of my motivations in mostly everything.

Really good cricket
Is like really good chess.

And I'm employed in planning again from Jan 4th. Despite a little crisis of confidence wobble I can't wait.

It's what I'm best at!

I like to think I'm open and honest. Hence why I scoff at my father when he sggests I convert to law and become a barrister.

So why not?
Remember that about 60% of the Lower House come from a legal background, which is why legislation is always slanted towards the law.

If there ever was a job for life that'd be it.

I'd love you to reply with one word beginning with E.

Legislation means laws though.

( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Sun 26 Dec 2010, 23:47, Reply)

Legislation means the laws that we have to be subservient to.
The laws made by those blindly elected to serve.

The e word I was after was Ethics.

I'm drunk - I'm an unreconstructed socialist. I'm going to fall over shortly watching cricket.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Sun 26 Dec 2010, 23:59, Reply)

Being by nature a linguist I read the word "legislation" and see it's from "lex legis" and "ferro ferre tuli latus"
and think about what that means, rather than what "legislation" means.

Being by inclination a Marxist
I understand legislation as a means by which to subsume an otherwise emanciated people by a tool of subjugation authorised by a state with no valid authority.

I keep quiet about politics and things like that because I don't understand them.
My friend is a strong anarchist, and while I think it's a nice idea, I have very little faith in the human condition, and I doubt anyone could make it work.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Mon 27 Dec 2010, 0:11, Reply)

Marxism accepts everything.
It was corrupted by latter day Engels, who brought about the communistic struggles which led to Bakunin's Third Internation etc..

Now Cricket. A game utterly devoid of Capitalistic inclination.

She's a natural blonde, don'tchano. Like Katy Perry and Dita Von Teese.

I don't understand cricket.
I understand it if someone is there explaining it to me, but then if I sleep, it all goes away.
