Simply Google Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts Steve.

The tune is easy.

What a song.

And there's plenty more where that came from.

Hey- isn't it warm. We are all going to save a fortune if this keeps up and reduce our emissions.

Did you know that, on average, according to a survey I saw, we all fart 35 times a day. (Except in Jobcentres of course).

If you fart out loud it is "in" to say "17" or "26" rather than "Fall out the officers" which is now a bit old fashioned. If you say "48" all it means is that you're having a non-average day.

I only fart once a year, on the queen's birthday - it's a salute!

No one knew the circumstance but they say that it happened pretty quick,
The door to the dressing room burst open and a cold revolver clicked.
And Big Jim was standin' there, ya couldn't say surprised,
Rosemary right beside him, steady in her eyes.
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts.

does it?

Aesthetics are not my schtick. It sold more, I think.

England's batsmen got a decent pre-Ashes confidence booster with the willow on day two of the three-day match against NSW at the SCG today.

Andrew Strauss, Alastair Cook and Kevin Pietersen all struck half-centuries to turn what looked like a mini disaster before lunch into the tourists' best day of the tour.

England was 4-256 at stumps in reply to NSW's 9(dec)-355, with Strauss (50), Cook (59) and Pietersen (80 not out) having benefited from time in the middle against a Test-strength Blues attack.

Captain Andrew Flintoff also hit the ball sweetly in an unbeaten 48.

Suspenders
Push up bras

Chocolate

That's my mantra, whenever the S word is mentioned on here...

Just I don't usually type it!

Otherwise I would have to hack my breasts off (which would be a shame), shrink my brain, scratch my groin, spit, eat a pie and join in!

I'm flouncing off again now

...in my suspenders!

I'm sure this must have some meaning behind it, but I'm buggered if I know what it is.

Hey, suspenders to an American are braces to an Englishman, and galluses to a Scot.

That is in order that we can have smutty Brit conversations and give our excitable cells a tweek without offending our hosts.

I think the "S" word could be Sport?

dadpad-

That was pure journalese.Your report I mean.

Is it possible that it was a trick to get the odds on the Aussies lengthened a bit and it all might look different when McGrath gets chuntering to himself like we love to see him doing.

spend; You will notice the complete lack of any spin bowling. Stewie McGill was available but held back.

Trescothic (8- inside edge onto stumps) from a full ball failed again if that make you feel better.
Bell quacked to a sharpish one hander by Clark at first slip.

EXACTLY!

What is life without smut?

We Brits thrive on it, it is the life-force that drives us all...

What is life without smut?

NOTHING, NOTHING I TELL YOU!

I'm off to bed now - see you guys tomorrow.

Sweet dreams

Sheesh isn't it exciting this cricket, did you notice those hens laying eggs as well?

Mac, not being nosey, simply curious, was it a working trip to the States or a vacation of some sort?

Simply wondering if you might be working for one of the oil barons, a little like Francis.

I haven't the foggiest idea what you said here, DP.

Basically Tico it means that cricket lovers have a world of their own in which non-cricket lovers are incomprehensible.

A 1,000 frame per second replay of Bell quacking to a sharpish one hander by Clark at first slip would clarify the issue for you bearing in mind that Mr Bell would probably prefer his grandmother popping off to succumbing to such a fate as would Mr Clark as an alternative to him dropping it.

These guys mean business Tico. It's evolution under the control of the authorities.

Anybody can dive off a 200 ft cliff into a tidal pool but just try knocking out Ponting's and Gilchrist's middle stump. You and me could try for ever.
We would have to wait until they fell over from exhaustion and even then it might take a few attempts.

Yes - just when are we going to see Stewart McGill??? - the thinking woman's spin bowler - much more attractive (and intelligent) than that oaf, Warne!

And God bless the Pigeon!

A vacation only. To see some friends, and some friends I had not yet met, and a little of the countryside, and renew my passing acquaintance with New York.
Not like Francis.
Good morning, Francis.
