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.

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

If there's not much moving.
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!

Ah, congrats on the new job and best of luck!
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.

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.

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.
