THE BRITISH THREAD

That was a terrible explanation Mac.

I would have took it on but I know viewers find long posts difficult to cope with. A reader of your explanation would be totally baffled if he were watching a match with it for guidance.

How could I be expected to paint walls with smorgsie on the premises and no way I'm doing it while she's off gadding about.

I was quite pleased with it.
If you think you can do better, you miserable moaning git, put up or shut up.
It's "I would of taken", by the way.

I'm not so sure you are right there old chap. I think your construction is a boit bourgoisese and suggests that not only do you read The Guardian but also have a delicate palate for fine wines, have tart's knicker's curtains up at your windows and wipe your arse on Charmin bog rolls @ £2.99 a six pack.

Francis there is no point asking an Englishman how to play cricket, they dont know.

fielding positions

We do know how to play cricket.

It is a matter of our determination.

Australians are like rats in a corner down there. No joining the comforts of the EEC for them.

Obviously they have more spirit that we do. If China invaded Northern Territories they would soon be on the blower.

Anybody with more spirit is always going to win.

Methinks they try too hard.

...and we do things differently there.

I assume you were quoting from one of my favourite books, or were you just being cheeky?

I don't 'gad' - I sashay.

Anyway, I WILL do it myself...

That's why God gave me tits.

Prove it!

...and I read The Guardian

...and I wipe my delicate arse with Charmin!

DaddyP, it's a question of faith...

Goodness gracious, Holmes! However do you do it?

Charmin Comfort 4-layers £3.15 for nine rolls here.

must you smorgs?

Calm down fellas, smorgs would never seriously expect any man to help her with anything. That would be asking nature to go against instinct. You lot are pathetic.

You guys are nice. Thank you all for your explanations about cricket. I begin to understand this delightful game...

Oh yes, need help with understanding cricket? No problem.

Tonight, 31 of December 2006, by way of celebration...

I'm going to knit a tea cosy!

I bought a fab bright red tea pot in the sale for £3.00 and you can't find tea cosys in the shop for love nor money.

I found a brilliant pattern. It's a W.I. WW2 pattern.

It was making me laugh, as this site has a 'french tickler cosy' and IPod cosies, in fact it has cosies for everything???

Could be a nice little earner...

Just PM me with your size.

Do you think they would chaff?

Francis-

Cricket began as a ritual to encourage exogamy.

When it was discovered that keeping all the village girls to themselves resulted in increasing stupidity it was decided to find a way of bringing in chaps from afar to do the inseminating.

Obviously a test of manhood was required.

The girls were placed behind a wicket gate and their own boys mounted a defence. Only those who breached that defence were entitled. At first this caused bloodshed and loss of life and was thus ritualised into a process the evolution of which you now see.

That is my intellectual justification for always supporting England's opponents and enjoying seeing our team get splattered.

I take the part of the girls behind the gate because I believe exogamy to be an important vehicle for progress and I also like to see the girls having a change because they thrive on it for well established biological reasons.

It gets complicated after that and would take months,if not years, to explain.

It is a manhood test as you would discover with Brett Lee running in and sending a 93 mph missile at your defences on a green pitch or one with cracks in it.

If the ball is not allowed to bounce and there is no wicket to protect there is very little danger which is why baseball hasn't caught on in the civilised world. It only gives an appearence of being a manhood test.

If you study the fielding positions which dadpad provided you should be able to deduce a few of the simpler sexual connotations.

When an umpire adjudicates a defender of the wicket to be "out" he puts his finger up.

Yeah! Beats a roller any day.
