Thanks Demonstone for the entertainment. You put David Astle to shame.

Don’t know about you mo but I never would’ve got those answers. And I reckon even DA would struggle.

Thanks for the fun today, DS! 
*cough* I still think the opportunity/chance/chants thing was a bit of a stretch though *cough*

Is that a far cough I hear from you?

Thanks very much D'stone. The Pat Cummins and Waugh ones were very good. Much appreciated. 

If you get the time, Im sure I speak for others, please post another one. Perhaps a footy one.

Again, much appreciated.

Enjoy the test match today. Cheers.

I think we are going to lose this test match.

I hate the balmy army. There noisy enough on the tv broadcast. I can't imagine how horrific it would be seated next to them. Yea sure they have great stamina but its artificially induced by alcohol. And as for making up the numbers, I reckon they would probably keep twice as many away.

I guess it would be hard to police  but they should be excluded . There's is no way I'd take the family to sit next to that all day. I'm sure I'm not alone.

I'm glad I got that out.

Happy festivus.

I don’t think we’ll lose it, LITD. I can’t see a draw (unless weather and/or Covid beg to differ) so I think we’ll win. It’s just that it won’t be the customary hiding which we’ve all come to expect. 😁

… or, how about another cricket one. Only this time, Sri Lankan players’ names. 😝

I wish they were balmy.  Unfortunately, they are barmy.

They give me the Edgar Britts as well.

The barmy army are the only poms who have performed so far this ashes series.

They have gone unusually quiet. He he.

Well, I just checked the scores first time today just now and it's all over. Wow. Did not see that coming. Even with some of our good bowlers out we still cut them to spreads. I know we have a great line up, but gee England probably have the worst.
