Hope so Tel, maybe only a couple of overs each for Barker and Clarke then Patel on until the end.

Looks like we let them off the hook a bit at the end with Rankin expensive. Need a couple of early wickets tomorrow and get the prayer mat out.

What time did you manage to get to the hospital Clint?

Always have a chuckle at the purple bins on Edge Lane when driving into the city. Not very discreet lol.

RIP Jim, the voice of Highfield Road. Never bettered IMHO. Sad news indeed.

Eee lad it's Grimmer oop North.

Or even musical blinds? Maybe playing Oh What a Beautiful Morning when you roll it up and Farewell Goodbye when you pull it down?

Know where you're coming from. Actors like Howard Keel made a very good living from being able to burst into song during a film. Ruined it for me though when he joined Dallas and kept waiting for him to bellow Oh What a Beautiful Morning to Miss Ellie. Never happened.

I'm tempted to park on a double yellow line when the traffic warden is about. When challenged, I will claim a disability. And if asked which disability, I will shout back 'Tourettes, fuck off!'

Is that your real name Les?

Pity it's not Wilf Rhodes from Yorkshire...40,000 runs and 4,000 wickets, would come in handy.

Crewe would suit me, only a 2 mile lift from the missus. Could even get her to drop me at The Brunny for a couple of swifties first. Crewe station is a major hub and pretty much connects with anywhere.

To add more fuel to the fire, Stoke is a misnomer as it is really Hanley (duck).

Lol. Meanwhile us plebs on the Commercial side were tramping round in a 1.6 or 2.0 barge, latterly a 1.9 oil burner whilst dreaming of something exotic like Steak Canadian and chips for lunch.

For my sins I'm in Crewe. No man's land really as I reckon the North doesn't start till you cross the Thelwall Fireduck.

I'm guessing you followed the well trodden path of sharpening your commercial awareness with the Dealers (District Manager?) for a few years before bigger and better things at head office? Just can't picture you in a Rover 600 or whatever chasing the figures whilst grabbing a pork pie and...

I'm about 15 minutes drive from Stoke and it's a different world there. Never eaten an oatcake and proud of it.

Clutching at straws here a bit but all Division 1 games are following a similar pattern. Bat first, big total then the opposition struggle. Can't see us lasting a full day tomorrow. What will that be, 4 innings defeats in 6 games? Shambles.

In accountancy terms, are you saying it's all bollocks then?

Don't disagree, during the election and since he has been a very good front man, striking a chord i think with your average man in the street. Just hope he doesn't end up the same way as Blair.
