'I would have to disagree on the broad church, as it is geographically in an area of labour heart land and by all political posts, the church leans so much to the left, I worry about the foundations' It may be good to remind you that NSC does not operate primarily as a political forum. It is a...

Indeed. Most touring sides would play quite a few county warm ups before the series. It's the schedule these days that prevents it.

I love a BJ

Who are we deporting. The ones trying to stop the riot here ? The person trying to stop the violence is the Green Party councillor who some tried to present a perpetrator..

Just as Jamie Smith was taking the last ball I was thinking how he will be a fixture in the team for a long time. The other half of my brain said 'No, don't think that'. Spectator's curse.

I'm about to put my first ever thread on ignore. This is very exciting.

The number 17 is worth waiting for.

I'd suggest it would have the opposite effect really. Like most sports, the game is financially driven more than ever before. And is slowly ceasing to be cricket. There are 15ish T20 international leagues now- among those will be some I don't even know about. But what folk forget is that these...

You can take your Hundred, your Welsh Wotsits and your Southern Skips, and crisply drive it through the gap between your left and right buttock all the way to the boundary at Colon End, where your cricketing brains sit.

:ROFLMAO: I think you need to check your pizza toppings my friend. No club would bid anything near that for his signature. They would go to the mainland and get a better or equal option for half that money.

That's a bad thing ?

It's no different to saying 'I have to visit Liverpool' except with the extra annoyance of having to catch a plane. So hardly 'showing off' Work trips, ughhh. It's three seconds from my bed to my work. I'm happy with that.

There are some things I miss about growing up in 70s, namely life was less regulated, but I think society is better now by some distance. Folk talk about the 'sense of community' back then somehow forgetting that they are responsible for it themselves. Wistful memories are less to do with...

Rampant football violence, National Front, gay folk getting their heads kicked in..by the police, institutions more corrupt than they are now, widespread discrimination, a feral media, hand me downs, rickets. I think some folk see the past through the eyes of Janet and John.

You said 'The same Palestinian Authority who advocate the killing of Jews' That is a deliberate summary aimed to get a negative reaction. The organisation does not advocate this and is signed up to UN resolutions that support Israel's right to peaceful existence. That is not to say that there...

I stopped reading that after the first paragraph

Just stop it. If you are going to contribute to threads make a reasoned assessment of situations and stop pumping extremes. The Palestinian Authority recognises Israel's right to exist as part of UN resolutions. You know full well that every political group has extremes. You share the above but...

I remember declaration bowling and shouts of 'drop it' when a batsman offered a dolly. Much to the chagrin of the part time bowler.

A name that resonates with many NSCers of a certain age. Always a gentleman and a fine snooker player. My favourite when I, badly, started to play the game as a kid. RIP
