Noooo! I missed it, we had visitors - I wasn't too bothered it could only be a draw -I thought. The boy shouted me in just in time to see the last two overs. I couldn't believe they stopped it!

I missed the Challenge Cup Final on Saturday due to responsibilities. I haven't been able to watch one for years. Still - the footie's on again tomorrow night.
I'm enjoying the footie as well - the actual games, not the hyper-bollox circus that surrounds it.
Last word on the Cricket. On the last day, it was the Aussies who reminded us what Cricket and sport in general is all about (or should be). England approached the game not wanting to lose but not trying to win. Their slow over rate was a disgrace. and their defensive first innings was too negative. A truly great team would've seen the situation after the first day as a chance to show how good they are, and turn it around. So well done Australia for allowing a chance for a result and giving the spectators and fans something back.

Well said.Originally Posted by prendrelemick
Without the very sporting declaration, the game would have trailed away to nothing. I hadn't noticed they declared on Nelson! Classic Aussie trick.

yeah I wondered about that. I think Clark would've liked a few more runs but couldn't resist 111.

We had our first allotment Barbie last Sunday - I'm amazed that they hadn't had one before. We had about 70-80 people come along. The weather was nice, we had four barbies going and we had lots of food and drink. People took home the food, and the drink - most of it bought with funds - has migrated to the allotment shop. We might do an offer - compost and a free can - but probably not. I think we'll be ok up to Christmas. Woo hoo!
Well, I'm disgusted:
No invite to the party, no potatoes delivered to my place.
I'm beginning to think you don't love us any more!

If only I had known, you could have laid this gem on the allotment committee...

Hello Weber my old friend
I’ve come to grill with you again
Charcoal briquettes are piled high
A gallon of fluid lights the sky
And the Hickory smoke that is wafting in my face
I embrace
I hold the tongs of power.
Brats are hot and start to swell
New York Strip is medium well
Shrimp on the grill are swimming
Glazed chicken legs are dancing
To the tune of the flashing briquettes light
That sparks the night.
I hold the tongs of power.

Just back from my hols. A weekend in Bristol to visit daughter number three. She felt obliged to keep us entertained for every minute we were there and had set a punishing agenda. So after a five hour drive down (I hate the M6) we had a 10 minute rest in the B&B and then set off through Friday rush hour traffic to the other side of Bristol to meet her and her Handsome Man at Hugh Fearney-Whittingstall's Canteen. That was a 5 mile trip that took 1 and 1/2 hours. Anyway the food was dee-licious, and over fresh caught mackerel and mushrooms stuffed with smoked Pollock and cheese, she outlined her itinery for us.
We managed to avoid the 16 mile bike ride along a disused railway line, and settled for a walk round Bath, a walk up the Avon Gorge and across the Clifton Suspension Bridge, a Barn Dance and a visit to the SS Great Britain. Her Handsome Man was doing the Bristol half marathon on Sunday- At least she hadn't entered us for that.

Sounds like a great time was had!

We went to a pub on Sunday and had the roast beef dinner, I think the cow had died of old age.
At the Barn Dance I was on "Barnsley dark bitter" and "The Dark Side", two beers from a local brewery- they were very nice, I was soon Reeling, Stripping the Willow and Promenading like a good un. http://www.bathales.com/our-ales/aid/dark-side/

What the heck is that thing in your post? I can't make it open.

It was a link to some beer. Have your read the message this morning? Pictures that even hint at a shapely ankle are no longer to be tolerated! I think there is a clamp-down going on, and my beer link has fallen victim to the morality police.
In fact I can't see the link either and I posted it! It's so nice to know that that we have a gaurdian angel looking after our moral well being and making the choice for us as to what we can and can't see.

The link glitch is something to do with a cache issue. If you edit your post, it should be fixed.
The same thing works with signatures as well. Please edit them and it will go back to normal.
Hopefully.

I'm bummed about that as well, because it looks like a LitNet swimsuit calendar will now never happen.
