Wasn't that exactly how Blair started out, presenting a succession of popular soundbites that appealed to the broad electorate in opposition to an increasingly unpopular Conservative administration? Eventually though, the socialist utopia - even the Tory lite version - runs out of money. Not...

Don't know your age but have you phoned Tone for a trial at Blackburn??

Bloody hell they're still batting. Looks like we'll have an hour to survive after 2 hard days in the field. Great!

Can we last for two and a bit days then. Rearguard action at best.

Also remember being asked by Dad at 9 or 10 years of age what I wanted to do in later life. 'Be a footballer' was my reply and then being told not to be so stupid and that I needed to learn a trade or take an apprenticeship. Probably the exact opposite is true today, given the professional...

Wasn't Kevin Keegan on trial with us in the late 1960's but got rejected as being too small? If only a very small percentage of academy players make it to the top, then the sheer weight of numbers involved makes mistakes or bad judgement calls inevitable.

Taken from the Tommy Cooper birthday card...... I'm on a whisky diet, last week I lost three days. A guy walks into a psychiatrists wearing only clingfilm for shorts. The shrink says 'Well, I can clearly see you're nuts'.

Done well to limit Essex to 263 for 5 on a batting friendly day. A slight worry that Patel bowled most overs and took most wickets on Day 1. Just hope they don't post 400 odd by early afternoon and we are soon 50 for 7 in reply.

Just been reading about the 60th anniversary of Test Match Special on BBC Radio and a range of comments from listeners. I don't think it's just about a bygone era or looking back with rose tinted glasses, but more the understated quality back them. Comparing modern commentators, analysts and...

Doesn't this stem from 1066 in Hastings when King Harold warned his prized archers with their new bows and arrows to be very careful or they'd have some buggers eye out???

Agreed, hopefully it's the only change. Apparently the teams cannot be announced until the day of the match as an anti-corruption measure. I reckon Roy must have been nobbled already then :emoji_frowning2:

I think should is the key word, England very consistent but Pakistan unpredictable. Very much depends if the Pakistani bowless are on their game.

And Stelling to the list too. David Coleman was doing it all 50 odd years ago and doing it much better too.

Yep 'celebrities'. Talentless nobody's mugging a living more like.

Mind you, anyone facing life with the surname Trebilcock has to be a bit of an underdog surely?

Things that bore me? In no particular order - Tennis, TV adverts and Richard Hammond.

Buses?? How can you not like buses BBR? And the older the better. Something like a BMMO CM6 is almost orgasmic in its beauty. Almost.

Husband accompanies his sick wife to the doctors for her examination. Doctor: 'Well Mrs Smith, I have to tell you that you've got acute angina'. Husband: 'I'm not happy with that at all doctor and demand a second opinion'. Doctor: 'OK Mr Smith, she's got a nice pair of tits as well'.

What's the difference between erotic and kinky? Well, if you strip your lover naked and tickle them slowly from head to toe with a feather, that's erotic. However, if you use the whole chicken........

Cheers. If we can dodge the rain in Cardiff, probably see the firmest pitch at the Oval. So glad it's not Lord's.
