Good Morning, McT!
Good morning, all!
Morning Francis !!
Say, I like yr sunglasses....I don't get much chance to wear mine since there is hardly any sun in this country, but I still keep buying them.
I never wear dark glasses.
Too shady.
Mornin' Francis and Prince (and everyone else).
I overslept this morning and, feeling mellow, I didn't exactly rush into work.
When I arrived, I found that my two "cases" have been postponed to Friday! Wunderbar! (as you would say in France).
This means that I have an hour or two to waste, and will use it wisely by strolling up and down the High Street, looking for a good book to buy.
I'm also on the hunt for an LCD TV, so I can enjoy the forthcoming ashes series just that little bit more. I've already spotted that Tesco's are currently selling the Sony Bravia at a great price. Anyone know if these are good/bad/indifferent?
A good day, so far......
Ellpus,
The Gadget Show was reviewing LCD tellys last night - go on the links from BBC2, as I can't remember the name of the one that was recommended.

Beer spill blocks major highway
A major Victorian highway has reopened after a semi-trailer tipped over and its cargo of beer spread across the road.
A busload of barmy army supporters assisted with the clean-up. Emergency clean up crews placed an urgent call to the Barmy army when it was realised the beer would be too warm for Aussies.
Ok I lied

Talk like that gets Smorgs reaching for her suspenders....
OK, McT, let's start a long discussion about Desert Orchid, who sadly died yesterday. Then we could move on to the ashes, followed by an indepth analysis of Premiership football.
We may get her mad enough to post a couple of piccies, you never know.
That's from today, not some old news, btw! (But the REAL story is on page 8 ... )

It appears so. Even your explanation was incomprehensible. Carry on then.
Tico-
It's well known that cricket is incomprehensible to the uninitiated and impossible to explain. The initiated have played and followed the game since they can remember.
When Mike Gatting, the England captain was clean bowled by Shane Warne with one that pitched outside his leg stump and nicked the top of off, the best ball ever bowled it has been said to be by experts, it certainly bamboozled Mr Gatting, who included barmaids in his zone of expertise, it so happened that the pavillion to which he had to depart to, shaking his head in disbelief, was opposite the way he was facing and he had to walk past his strike partner Mr Graham Gooch.
Mr Gooch said- "It was a cheese butty Mike. I wouldn't have let it bounce."
The initiated laugh at that every time they hear it. It's a bottomless joke.
And off the cuff.
Are there only two things to do with a baseball pitch- swipe it or leave it. And do the players need to be big?

I may be more initiated into the game than Tico, but you might have to explain that one to me Spendy.
It would be impossible Steve.
When Willie Carson was interviewed by a awed and reverential commentator after he got off Troy when it won the Derby by a street he was asked-
"Is it a wonder horse Willie?"
He answered-"Well- it's better than that lot" he said.
One could hardly imagine Mr Carson attending the funeral at Kempton Park of the old nag Desert Orchid. Clare Balding was on the News last night talking about the animal as if it could do the Times Crossword-the silly moo.
She might have been having a bit of fun though although I didn't notice her reach for an onion.
Claire Balding "bats for the other side", they say.
But that needn't stop her getting emotional about a dead horsie.
