OI MONKEY!

First, I hope you and yours are well.

Second, (has this been remarked on on here), four "BrAsians" playing for England at the same time. Ansari may be a borderline choice, Rashid still adjusting to Test cricket (but then, he's a leggie), but all four their for a purpose, and deserving their chances.

So, even if politics in our country is completely up the spout and in the shit, some escapist relief in the old game.

Hello Peter, me and mine are something, cheers. Something.

Yeah, I think that the tables have completely turned forever.... Although Ansari is a fatted up, Surrey dogshit choice.

Now it's only Derbs and Leics players getting discriminated against... which is fair enough, because they have f*cked up accents.

Good to know, err I think.


"all four THERE for a purpose ...", dammit.


Pity Lara no longer laughs here - he'd be descending like a ton of bricks.

You guys

I'm still overcome at the Gareth Batty decision. You total f*cking idiots.

Where's Leach?

With James Harris, on the outer.

Or Yasir ARAF-at?

Frightfully rude to not ask after you Peter - how's it all going?

Or, I suppose, the human Smerk machine.

Or, I suppose, the middle-aged stud.

Or, I suppose, the bucket of lard.

How's it all going everyone?

Shit, but thanks for asking anyway.

You didn't post in this thread... PLUS I asked you in private, you're one lucky SOB.

Er, that was back in August.

Mate! Really! Shows how f*cked up I am. Honestly. That's a shocker. The months are forever blending.

What's the matter man?

Just the usual. Money, work etc. nothing unusual.

I hear you man, I'm with you.... TBH, I'm thoroughly sick of my profession and no amount of pay rises seem to help. I'm stuck, though, I can't start again. Got years and years of this shit.

c'mon BM. Surely there are opportunities to have a crack at other careers.

Stand up comedy beckons ... you just tell people how shit your life is, and they laugh at you.

I'm awroightish (as opposed to boomtish), as far as various societal-political meltdowns and impending economic slumps (but never for everyone) go, thanks.

I hope everyone here is "doing an Elt" ("I'm still standing").

Not starting off, at 35, with all the bills I have, commanding the money I do. Trapped.

Vikas taught me never to do stand-up.
