James
Did you get Kevin Howells filling in just now from the BBC when the TMS line to Brisbane went down?
What a hero!
(Unless you did, this'll make no sense)

No, Mark - missed all that excitement. Just Aggers, Skull etc carrying on. Fine effort by Finn on debut, but it's backs to the wall stuff for you guys tomorrow.

'Carn the Poms!
Great batting display by the English top order - exposing weak Australian attack, with spearhead Mitchell J shown to be a shadow of himself and 4th rate spinner in Doherty not up to it. Just hope the pathetically one sided coverage in today's News Ltd papers swings to cover the excellent recovery shown by Strauss et al.
Says the man born in Australia who loves cricket, but not necessarily the Australian team...

I'm all on edge to see what will happen when KP gets to the crease... He'll either blast his way quickly to a huge total or get out early doors I reckon. It'll be worth staying up for  Mark S. |

Ponting=  Strauss= Too exciting to go to bed: looks like the dawn-patrol for me. Cook's got his double-century and KP's still to come. Amazing stuff. Mark S. |

Also, and I can't help thinking this: but Vic Flowers (song leader of the Barmy Army) kinda reminds of the mighty mighty Dem (Vault leader of Brit pulp Horror)... Anyway, I'm off to bed. Knackered...

Cricket? Do you mean the insect of the genus stenopelmatus that I can see happily leaping about outside? That's the only cricket I'm answering to at the moment.
Bring back Warnie - it's the only solution.

Congratulations Mark. Being Scottish I regard cricket as a form of English self defense against sanity but well done anyway

Mark S. what vile blasphemy is this? granted, he's got the elongated, skinny, Mr. Tickle arms about right, but his hair's too short, his shades ain't NBK enough, there's no cig spot-welded to his lip and the all-important six-pack-dangling-from-either-hand accessories are lamentably conspicuous by their absence. and when did you ever see me wear white - yuk! also, it seems to have escaped your memory that some of us happen to be whip slim.  |

We were watching this at work today - one of my mates (who went around Australia teaching cricket to youngsters and mucked in with the likes of Terry Alderman) was quietly philosophical. I, who had cracked the shits with the Australian team years ago because of the boorish behaviour of the players was loving the fall of every wicket and another put hard cash with Betfair for the England win and was whooping it up with each wicket.
Work?

Picked this up from the junk shop for a buck. Leonard Meares is better known as Marshall Grover, who wrote a bazillion westerns including the Larry and Stretch series. Looks like it doesn't reach any great heights...  Leonard Meares, I'll Come Back and Haunt You (Horwitz, 1979) And then we saw it. In the centre of the room, a few feet from me and in clear view of Jenny, the pale, shapeless mass writhed like lazy smoke from a half-smothered fire. Shapeless at first, then slowly taking form, I froze, shocked to the core, unable to shift my gaze. The shape was female. It seemed to hover there, and, while we watched in shocked fascination, that ice-cold wind assailed us again. Jenny shivered and made a whimpering sound. I think she had torn her gaze from the phantom and was staring at me - and so was the phantom.
Jenny mumbled a plea.
"Talk to her!" she begged. "Please, Ross! I can't take any more!"No 158 in the Horwitz Pocket Books second series (1974-1981). |
