Cricket eh? England might very well lose this after scoring over 600 in the first innings - and then going on to drop about 10 catches! They deserve to lose for their complacency. South Africa deserve to win for their tenacity and a declaration that shows they are not interested in a draw.

We haven't seen any of that series, cricket coverage being limited to the appallingly inept Sri Lankan side.
Between them and the Windies, we're running out of good sides.
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."

True, but then some thing always happens, a great team emerges and dominates for a decade.
Now, imagine dirge like music being played on here all morning in preparation of a sad announcement...

...David Bowie has died. I can't believe how sad I feel about this . I was never a fan as such, but his music is woven into the fabric of many an old git's life - it's like a chunk of us has shrivelled away. Memories of moments when his music rubbed up against me keep coming back -on the bus to school -watching top of the pops - mum and dad's reaction - Band aid - explaining to my own kids who he is - Mick Ronson,s guitar riff on The Jene-Genie - and so on.
Oh well, we are all dust in the end.

That sounds remarkably like how I feel.
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."

This morning I had a craving for some trucker music, this one's for Sancho...

Huzza!
...and eleven long-haired friends of Jesus in a chartreuse microbus...
But hey man, I don't live in Georgia anymore:

And this is just my opinion, but I've gotta tell ya - North-Georgia hillbillies ain't got nothin' on these people around here.
Uhhhh...
Second ODI tomorrow in SA. any predictions
Then we need a name for them, Sancho, my old mate. How about rainbillies? Or Starbillies, as it's the home of that world's most sinister coffee shop chain? And thanks for the Nirvana clip. ;-)Originally Posted by Sancho

England to win - of course.
This time Stokes will throw his hat into the air, deflect a certain six, then hold open his back pocket for the ball to drop into. Easy.

Well, I knew it was in the works, so it sounds like you're settled in up there.
I can only go by hearsay regarding the northwestern billies, more reliance on dumpster diving, victory gardens, composting toilets, hydroponics, bicycles and the like.
Are you using a composting toilet?
Now you're in Sasquatch country, please keep me posted.

Bah-hahaha-hah
Lumberbillies? Stevedorks?
I gotta tell ya though, TC, I feel guilty about making fun of these people because they are genuinely nice folks. Back down south if somebody was being nice to me I had to assume they were working an angle. And up in your neck of the woods they don't even bother being nice anymore, unless they're doing it ironically. Around here they seem to be nice for sake of being nice. Weird, huh? It's making me nervous as hell.
Hey, Gill. I like this version: I hear it's by a Texas girl:

I do have a composting toilet here, just like I had in Georgia, only we call it a septic tank. Also, just like down south I've got an actual compost heap going. The neighbors tell me it'll attract bears, so l'm keeping my fingers crossed. Maybe it'll precipitate a Sasquatch sighting. I thought I'd spotted one a couple of weeks ago, but it turned out to be Dave Grohl.
Uhhhh...
Oh yes, quite familiar with that one, my Dave Dudley toss up was just a fringe benefit I discovered during a recent trucker music phase I went through.
Some folks raise worms in their composting toilets; a fringe benefit of what they left behind.
RIP. Martin Crowe (Cricket again) He was one of the very best

Figured I should get that established, before heading further down the road of covers.
