Bloody hell Croydonbloke and Brightonbloke, can't you PM each other...

Worst: – Sitting in the public gallery when Simon Valder got sentenced for threatening Bellotti, and hearing his mum cry. – Those interminable days waiting for something positive to come out of the Centre for Dispute Resolution talks, which truly felt like the last chance. – Being 11 points...

Games I go to, I'm driving, so can't use the phone. Games I don't go to, I live outside SCR area and can't hear the show – not much point phoning in to a debate if you know what's being debated.

Tell me about it. I've agreed to go with someone to see Fulham vs Man Utd next month. It's costing me £45 - that's 50p a minute. Plus, in order to get a Man Utd ticket, you had to buy another game too – so we've ended up with tickets to Fulham vs Bolton as well. Total damage – nearly £80. And...

Not exactly thrilling, but is good in that when the wind increases it gets harder. Have safely moored a 51foot yacht in both St Lucia and Martinique, so don't need a virtual version anyway!! ;)

Because there's a risk they might instead get the runs, and we'd therefore lose. (In practice, their chances are miniscule, but why give them a mathematical possibility).

We've done it now I reckon, no way back for the Aussies – it's as good as all over!!! Still, keep posting away in this thread Brighton Boy. Not only is your post count going stratospheric, but it gives us all an excuse to look at Nadine Coyle every five minutes. :clap2: :clap2: :clap: :love...

Try Ananova for scoreboards if CricInfo's falling over.

Clearing up in central London. Out my window, the Post Office tower is in mostly blue sky. We need to get over 250 and bat for at least 50 overs. With around 100 overs of play scheduled, this is almost a '50 overs each' one-dayer… UNLESS we bat more than 50 overs. Then the balance starts to tip...

Anger is good! Embrace the anger! That's exactly what I feel - I too worked f***ing hard, took three academic subjects, and got AAB. In 1986 that meant a lot, a hell of a lot. Nowadays you get people who wouldn't have got anywhere near that in my day taking Film Studies, General Studies and...

Ah, if only FG were still here. We'd get some rant about how "their all terrorirrists who shood be sent back too they're own country". You never quite knew if his 'misunderstanding' of things like Muslin, and subsequent illiterate right wing rant, was a clever ironic spoof, or a genuine piece...

If we can bat to lunch we'll have one hand on the Ashes I reckon. The Aussies need a first innings lead of at least 100 to stand a realistic chance of winning. If we get to lunch and post 400, that means they're looking at an ask of 500 – which is a good 4 sessions of aggressive batting. With...

When I was at school 18 years ago, around 1 in 11 candidates got an A grade at A-level. The top grade was difficult to achieve, and to get two or three As meant you were an exceptional student, markedly one of the best in your year. The percentage achieving each grade was controlled nationally...

This is a spoof, right? Surely no-one accused of being an anti-Apple and overly-techie ranter would defend themselves with, err, an anti-Apple overly-techie rant?

…and total bias against all things Apple.

Nothing. Don't have a mortgage or any loans, credit cards etc. Have £70k in investments/savings. And no, I won't buy a player for the club with it!

Leeds United (away) - 0 points Sheffield United (home) - 0 points Coventry City (home) - 3 points Burnley (away) - 1 point Leicester City (away) - 1 point Just shy of 6, but with only five games in the month probably good enough. A point a game is the baseline we need to keep to, then...

Hate them. Had a situation the other month where I needed to know if my bank branch had received a cheque for my account in that day's mail. In the old days, I'd phone my branch, they'd have a look, and let me know. But no, now all I can do is phone Bangalore, where someone looks my account...

Final Straw was actually first released on 4 August 2003, then re-released when 'Run' started to take off.

"Presumably, if we did get it, we would have to include "Falmer" in the name of the club." I'd like to think this was ironic. But sadly I think (s)he thinks (s)he's making a genuine point. :shootself
