Oh.

Apparently they blew bubbles at the end of the service.

(bad taste alert)

Isn't he still in the West Indies, like Sarwan?

I warned you.

by PeterCS Wed 25 Jun 2008, 22:22

Bubbles is Michael Clarke?

by PeterCS Wed 25 Jun 2008, 22:22

No, that would be Puppyfat Pupples.

by LeFromage Wed 25 Jun 2008, 22:22

Doug Bollinger, no?

by HH_pink Wed 25 Jun 2008, 22:30

WTF indeed.

In answer to Chandan's question about the McGrath children at the funeral, young James looked pretty sad like his father but young Holly (just 6) happily played with her friend and blew soap bubbles.

And Bubbles is Doug Bollinger, hence lardy's bad taste alert at the top of this page.

Thanks Skully.

It was shown on Indian news channel as well. Glen McGrath appeared to be on the verge on tear while freeing those three doves. Sad

I freely admit to getting a bit of a lump in the throat while watching the coverage, especially when they started playing Robbie Williams' Angels.

Aye, Robbie Williams makes me want to puke too...

That's disturbing

by Zat Mon 30 Jun 2008, 02:53

And for you to find it disturbing, even more so.

by PeterCS Mon 30 Jun 2008, 09:47

I fear this thread might now benefit from being locked.

by freddled gruntbuggly Tue 01 Jul 2008, 08:22

Not yet.

What difference a week or so makes - the current headline on that link is: Watson sets sights on Test return
Which is more the sort of thing one would have expected.

Poor Glenn. And Holly and James and all the rest of the family.

So many people mention 'heroism' and 'courage' when talking about athletes, but Jane McGrath deserves those words far more.

by skully Tue 01 Jul 2008, 08:33

Indeed tails. Where ya been?

by freddled gruntbuggly Tue 01 Jul 2008, 08:40

Busy with the boys and then PC problems. Internet cafe atm, just checking mail and thought I'd see what's been going on.

How's the mrs?

by skully Tue 01 Jul 2008, 08:43

Hangin' in thanks. The whole Jane McGrath thing hit us a bit harder than most. We were quite gutted. Especially given the song played at the end of the service was the same I'd picked out when things were a lot grimmer.

by freddled gruntbuggly Tue 01 Jul 2008, 08:49

Yeah, when I heard I thought of you and your family straight away.
Bitch of a thing to live through.

by skully Tue 01 Jul 2008, 08:52

Day by day, but she's tough.

Anywho, enough of that. My thoughts are with big Pidg in his and his kids grieving.

by freddled gruntbuggly Tue 01 Jul 2008, 08:54

Aye. I don't even have the heart to drool over him at the moment, the poor boy . . .
