(why do I always revert to my cultural stereotype when "The Old Days" are mentioned. )
Congratulations to the Indian Cricket team for putting out the Aussies. That's India and Pakistan through. Next up is New zealand vs South Africa.
Aye. The fun that can be had in weed choked beck.Originally Posted by prendrelemick
That was a really good match. I never thought India would even come this far, and beating Australia was next to impossible. They did well.
The next match with Pak will be even more interesting
Was it more a case that there was so much more spare land that we used to amuse ourselves doing things without ever needing to go to a playground?
Want a swing? Find a tree.
Want a see-saw? Cut the tree down.
And a brilliant win!
Most Kiwis waking up very surprised [and happy] this morning.
Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

Can't wait for that one. Sorry Madhuri, I think Pakistan are going to win the whole thing. That betting scandal has made them close ranks and become more determined.That was a really good match.

Definitely the suprise team of the tournament you lot.
And a brilliant win!

I'm glad you brought it here, Emil; we blokes know how to do a belly laugh
Hope the end of the week is a bit more pleasant; you certainly brightened our day
Dither...Paul doesn't dither...But yes, a nice scandal would be nice; but it would have to be about someone we could all disapprove of and not feel guilty about gossiping about; which reminds me, where has Gbrekken gone?
Yes, I would think it is the occasional; though, here in America, we do give people positive reinforcement for getting pregnant; a person can get a job, food stamps, education, child care and a huge tax bonus at the end of the year.:
It happens, I'm sure, but I'd say rarely rather than "always".
Atheist: Just to let you know, the sun has arrived safe and well.
Is it spring again already; I'm just beginning to nail the celcius/farenheit math.
I don't think I'd mind you keeping the sun a while longer; I would love the winter if it wasn't for the allergies and colds.
Great link, Paul. Oh, and....playground, we had a broken rusty pipe and several beer cans, we had to hide behind rubber inner tubes to keep from getting shot...Johnny didn't make it...
I can see how dithering doesn't go with the avatar, but once I've made up my mind, i can still consider other options...
I like the cooler climate, but yes the colds do com frequently. But with hot weather comes the sweating and the rashes. We're neither geared up for hot weather with air con here, or cold weather with great insulating clothing. We're jacks of all weathers.

And Miami looks such a nice place on CSI. Even the criminals are tanned and muscular - and that's just the ladies.
You know Paul, I was thinking you should turn that around and start a thread on the things we had back in the day that they don't have now.
Things like vacuum tubes, trees to climb, lead based paint, model electric trains and planes, stamp and coin collecting, hide and seek, tether ball, cut off jean shorts and bell bottoms, match box cars, ........
We used to crawl inside sections of storm sewer piping and roll down hills.
Now days I just roll down hill with a bottle of Wild Turkey.
Good times me lads...good times!

Bright purple velvet suit, (with Flares) pink shirt, wide purple satin tie, irridescent platform shoes and plenty of hair. That was me in the early seventies out on the pull. It's a mystery how so many girls managed to resist such sartorial splendor.

This quote just about sums up Cricket in India. (For the Australia match)That was a really good match. I never thought India would even come this far, and beating Australia was next to impossible. They did well.
The next match with Pak will be even more interesting
Before last night's game one of our Indian liaison officers said: "The ground's capacity is 50,000 but 70,000 tickets have been sold and we will fit them all in."
For some, the next match is even more important than the WC. Here, many are planning to take an off that day, just for the match.
Pak has never won against Indian in a WC, but they are really doing good. They were the first one's to beat Australia after so many years, so you never know. They do stand a good chance.
Yeah - perhaps a combo thread - things we had, things they have.
We had measles, they get repetitive strain injury.
We had problems, they have issues.
We had matchbox cars and racing tracks to send them down, they have Grand Theft Auto.
I think it'll be a winner.
I was later. In those days I was too poor to dress fashionably ie as a punk. It was back to drainpipes when I was about. We didn't have embarrassing photos with flaired hair and dandelion trousers, (or should that be the other way round?), but there were chafing problems.
Sri Lanka were pretty impressive over England. They're my new pick now South Africa is out.
It's hard to say how good teams are that beat England, but they have to be favourites to get to the final, they will have home advantage against New Zealand.
