Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

A happy St Georges day to you all!!!
Spring is well and truly here. Blue skies, warm sun and yesterdays return to the cricket season, instead of that silly football nonsense.
We started the season in a less than traditional manner. We actually played, rather than sitting around watching the rain fall.
The game was somewhat more traditional, in that we got hammered. Next week sees a league match on Saturday and the first round of the cup on Sunday. Unfortuantely our South African signing will not be back from SA until the following week, so our bowling lacks a little something at the moment. Our SA is 6'7" and counts his bowling performance not in wickets, but in batsmens teeth, and I am so glad we signed him, and not some other team.
Lawns cut, borders weeded and now is snoozing and alcohol time.
Have fun.

Such a romantic.

Feeling very poetic, Driver. I am a real lover of summer.
The sun on my back, the sound of leather on willow (occassionaly when we're batting) and a long cool Cuba Libre in my hand and all is well with the world.
There is something so romantic, so historic, so British, so..........right and proper about Cricket on the village green.
And lets face it, a game that stops for tea and scones has got to be civilized.

Sounds like a load of old-
-to me.

Yes - can we have some new ones, please?

Errr . . . , dang! That comment wasn't funny the first time and I've managed to post it twice!!

Bosley has the horn!!

Some logic is simply inescapable.

i feel sorry for anyone holding shares in high street retailers. just been to the trafford centre and the vast majority of shops have big sales on which cannot be good for margin. add to that the distinct lack of people with shopping bags and the picture becomes a bit grim. car firms closing down or reducing labour, big redundances announced ....... start of a recession or just a bit of a bad time?

I feel sorry for anyone who has to go shopping!!!

I agree with Alan, however todays problems all stem from an over populated country. One day the government will wake up and figure, less people lower NHS bills, less people less demand for fuel, lower house prices less crime!! OK I know the logic is simple and its a little more complicated than this but hey lets be real about the cause before trying to tackle the problem....

total waste of space this lot-they'll never wake up we are expected to listen to their preaching and believe it all! lower taxes results in a higher gov. take as people would not try to avoid it--the black economy is all that's flourishing thanks to Bliar and Brown. I think we're on the verge of recession and if the housing market continues to drop--we'll be in one!!

What do you mean "we're on the verge"??
Wake up - we're in it.

And to boot we have hundreds , if not thousands of foreign criminals on the streets and plenty more coming in every day ...

It must be where you live, in my local shopping centre you are lucky if you can get your car parked let alone shop.

Oh no, driver - at the Trafford Centre you're lucky if you ever find your car again once you've parked it.

It must be nice to live in Belgravia driver .
