Yes. I lost 0.8 of a point (£30). Thus 0.8 x 30 quids =£24.
I'm disgusted. I should have won at least £150. I was robbed.
But it sure was exciting. I don't know what you see in it without money on.
It's just a bunch of rate-busters chasing a ball about for commercial reasons.
Cricket is the real game.
We have cricket and football and the Yanks have a form of football (rugby with the forward pass) and baseball.
If a cricketer or a footballer comes in a pub you can't tell from looking at him that he does those things. But if an American footballer or baseball player comes in (aside from pitcher) you could tell. Our sportsmen, apart from rugby) are average sized people in the main but Yanks seem to have to be big. I'd bet that a top Yank footballer or baseball player wouldn't last 10 minutes in a match like that last night. And scoring a century against any test-match side would be out of the question.
What do you think?
Why does Ellpus think there is something clever about sex? It's proof in my mind that he's a misogynist. Anybody who takes women seriously is extremely wary of their temptations and dangers. Ulysses had himself tied to the bloody mast for gawd's sake and he was hardly a Nancy.
Do you think his simple flatteries ruin it for the rest of us by giving ladies the impression that we are sitting ducks completely hypnotised by their shop-bought allurements.
Are you calling smorgs a slapper?
