I thought Stockport was quite a well-to-do area

All this for the honour of playing Slurry next year. But what an Honour !

This progress makes me happy.

It used to finish in the first couple of weeks of September. The big 60 over final on the first Saturday. September is normally a nice month for cricket.

I didn't realise Henry was batting. Must have come in to keep watch. Impressive.

What are you doing here ? You're not due back till next July.

Can any of you dear chaps tell me what the best weather forecaster is ? I rely on accurate weather for my work and, just as importantly, to see where the cricket is heading. If you engine the phrase 'best weather forecaster' it's all a bit murky with many claiming to be and some said to be by...

I remember that well. I didn't know about it until me paper round the following morning and stood in the street reading about it all.

Yeah, about that... :ROFLMAO:

Correct. I personally have a policy of not investing in former essential utilities or oil, but I am clueless as to where my pension is invested. There are ramifications for ordinary folk if a major company goes down. That said, I agree that dividend payments are a no no.

From what I can see, if England complete a clean sweep in Pakistan and NZ they may well qualify for the final. This being because Australia and India have to play each other.

It's London and it's Surrey. Most noticeable how prices vary between venues for tickets too. Pretty sure one venue charged £65 for a decent seat and Lords over £100. Not sure about Slurry charge.

'Wash the dog' It has to be a slang expression for something. If it isn't, it should be made so.

Indeed, but he also spent a lot of money bringing top players in. It's all relative. Nottingham Forest are not a team you would expect to break the transfer record. He was shown the door at Derby because he thought he could go around spending money like he was throwing confetti. As I say, very...

There is no doubting his footballing brain, but he was a loose cannon and, unlike the myth, for me a lot of the time he just spouted nonsensical rubbish. Box office rubbish, granted. I don't believe he would have done any better than Mullery, or as well as Mullery, with what we had.

Brian Clough knew how to spend other people's money. Yes, he was a very talented manager, but had I been a chairman I wouldn't have wanted him anywhere near my club.

I can't see England winning in Dublin. I know Johnny Sexton has retired, but they've still got too much for us. I'm going for 30-17

I think one of the disadvantages that left armers face is that there is so much more to get right. Most bowlers will want to come over the wicket, yet most batsman are right handed. So a left armer has so many more angles to work.

Thinking about Josh Hull, I do feel left armers automatically enter Test cricket at a disadvantage. How many left armers have been successful at the highest level without a particular attribute ? Wasim was very quick and the pioneer of reverse swing, Vaas had qualities but was not a 'great'...

Yes, very much this. There is a process of logic that says that such a faked event could never hold the line with the tens of thousands that would have been involved in the process. For that reason I've never even thought about it. It was funny when the Indians landed on the moon recently. The...
