Wicket keeper - I'm not sure where I've picked up backstop. Probably in Yorkshire.
I was lucky. I never got a ball in the chops. I once bowled when I had a cricked neck. I wouldn't recommend it. No fun.
I don't know, they claim that a loss of hormones makes a person lose their memory....ergo, all the oldsters double up on sex. I find a night of sex ruins my memory because I keep thinking of the act and forget everything else I have to do that day!Quote:

The scanner shows a little more detail than an x-ray photo and that's about all. While the genitals are almost identifiable, the person isn't - the complaints really seem way out of proportion with what the scans actually are. Internal items will show up.Quote:

Under breasts, under genitalia, even between genitals, if the complaints are to be believed. I'd probably go with the scan!
Scans - I wonder if the wearers of prosthetics/ enhancers are the complainers.
There's too much worry. How interested are the operators going to be in you - me -after weeks of looking over body shapes with no faces. The only interest will be those out of the ordinary I suppose.
Fantasy Paranoia - people will consider of me in an inappropriate way that I don't like to know or think about with this body scan.
Reality - there goes another one.
****, that sounds painful! I remember (mostly!) once when I stood too close in school on a sports day beside someone with an aluminium softball bat and they swung backwards a bit getting ready to hit the ball and it caught me on the temple. A bit dazed for a while (mild concussion for a few days) but luckily nothing broken.Quote:

They don't appear to be. I have to note that the complainers to date seem to be people to whom publicity is important.Quote:

Unfortunately, there was never any chance in that mine - I feel the press was a little irresponsible focusing on rescue efforts than the reality that they were all dead 30 seconds after the blast.Quote:

Ka-Boom!
If we choose to mine coal, the risk of it happening is always there. In the case of the Pike River mine, the risks may have been too great to mine it all, but nobody bothered noticed in time.
Well thats the first test all over bar the shouting. They're not the first group of players to be brought low by a Hussey.
There have been developments in the tupping saga. First the good news, Gay tup has turned! or at least gone back into the closet.
The reason (and the bad news) :- Pink tup has injured himself. I think he was attempting a coital encounter in a gateway of frozen and uneven mud, (let this be a warning to you all) and has done his back leg in. Thats him out of action for the rest of the season, and he can no longer dominate Gay Tup- who is discovering the benefits of being Alpha-Ram at the moment.
Oh, great news on turning the ram!
I wouldn't give up hope just yet - you just need to bat for 4 1/2 - 5 sessions.
Looks like England are going to save the test match after all. However, they are famous for their mid-order collapse, Infact they have no peers when it comes to that aspect of the game.
As a boy I used to go with my Gran to watch Yorkshire at Bradford. (that was in the days when we had a top team of Yorkshire born players) I remember nearly getting trampled by Barry Ledbetter as he ran to stop a four, and Jeff Boycott called me a daft bugger for sitting too close to the ropes.
My Playing career was a couple of appearences for Luddenden Foot forth team. That ball was just too hard for someone of my good looks and regular features.:D
Amazing day. I bet those smart people who backed the draw at $10 late on the first day are happy, but as you say, there's a little way to go yet. If they can bat until tea, they're fine.Quote:

I wasn't keeping up with it at all yesterday - my boy brought home some terrible flu-like virus which has laid me low. Bit better today, thankfully.
I see you're having a bit of snow right now in the UK!
Exact opposite here - most of the North Island is in early drought conditions, with temperatures in the mid-20s daily.
We've even had snow here in the Midlands. Apparently we haven't had snow this early since '93 - though I don't remember it being particularly bad.
It's a bit cold though, and the ice has hung around for the past three days here. I'll have to leave the bike at home tomorrow. The roads are gritted ok, it's just the unpredictability of it. Late night tomorrow.

Oh, and could one of you blokes send me that "Cricket for dummies" link again?
The weather here in north Texas is fine with temps is the 50's (F), but it will all change for me as I head back to northern Illinois tomorrow. I haven't paid attention to the weather up there, but I'm sure it is, or soon will be, very cold.
