England are a bit shit at cricket
After doing really rather well yesterday, they've lost two wickets in an over.

I hope we draw again.

Billy Connolly is right.
He reckons we never win anything because our national anthem is so shit & it'd take forever to erect the Union Jack.

I am indeed
in fact I'm having another BBQ and I'm not inviting anyone off the internet at all. Just real people I met in real life.

And none of the internet people I invited last time will get upset at this because they aren't massive girly women.

This is fair enough.
I'm going to the pub at lunchtime. I don't feel the need to invite you.

I think Kaol and Ancrenne and possibly Spakka are the only ones with it
or were anyway.
People don't tend to come down this way very often, and I don't head up there due to horrible skintness.

you didn't seem all that drunk when I was talking to you
I was pretty nervous and stuff though (for the gig, not meeting Kaol) and may not have been paying the most attention.

(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Fri 17 Jul 2009, 11:35, Reply)

The problem with England cricket
is that the middle order, while being highly praised and excellent players, are distinctly average. Andrew Flintoff hasn't doen anything to prove his worth as an England player since 2005, Kevin "I'm only in an England Shirt due to the racial quota in Sarf Effrika" Pietersen might be natually gifted but has no patience in the crease, and Paul Collingwood (while a great player) is really, really, hit and miss. Add to that the fact that Ravi Bopara can get tons against weak opposition, but the minute he comes up against a sustained bowling attack he crumbles, and you've an England team that will be praying - praying! - for rain.

Still, we might bowl well, there appears to be some real movement in the wicket that should favour Anderson and Onions.

He can't be both
you'll have to pick one... unless he's some sort of pot-kettle hybrid?
