Nice. We're not that bad. I mean, yeah, we couldn't even afford to take a squad of 18 to SA for a pre-season tour and basically we're comprised of 'little engines that couldn't quite'. Oh, actually, who am I kidding... it was NCCC **sobs**

So what's the asset valuation on Abu Dhabi's water and shit assets. A few trill? Or do they just pipe it out to sea and make a North American shaped island made of shit?

here for work - you wouldn't come here for a holiday. There isn't much to do once you've been on a sand safari, met your camel and um er can't think of what else there is here

they actually build sophisticated stuff but at the cheapest possible price (including backhanders) and then watch as it falls apart at the hands of the desert and some numpty operator who hires slave labour. I used to giggle at them until I learnt they want to build a nuclear reactor

Ah, there's never a shortage of Afghani and Pakster lackies to rake and hose the crumbling shit factories. At least it makes for fair crowds in the "Neutral" Desert JAMODIs and Tests.

You're not claiming some Scottish, Irish, Dutch, Namibian, or Ugandan heritage so you can turn out in the wt20 qualifiers while you're over there? This plave could use a current international cricketer to add some perspective...

My Grandma used to call tantrums 'the screaming ab dabs'.

Was she racist?

by Yorkie Jill Thu 15 Mar 2012, 23:51

she also used to call me a 'daft ha'porth'

I say ab dabs, simply because I always link it to Abu Dhabi nowadays.

by PeterCS Fri 16 Mar 2012, 00:16

I always thought "The Screaming Ab Dabs" (or "Screamers") was a variation on "Montezuma's Revenge" aka "The Skitters".

by Yorkie Jill Fri 16 Mar 2012, 00:37

No eye deer. T'interweb says it's about crazy/utterly stupid people who could only utter sounds like 'abba dabba' or whatnot.

by PeterCS Fri 16 Mar 2012, 00:39

I checked too, and the majority of sources (on an unscientific sample) go with your gran.

But I found a couple of people going with "the backdoor trots". (As a phrase, that is.)

ooh no, she never meant it like that.

Incidentally, we're winning. Local news this morning reckoned the film company were close to agreeing a deal to "let" the pub continue doing their thing - for a fee of $100 a year.

Always got to make some money out of it. Americans.

I'm sure Heidi Klum did something similar to a butcher or baker for using her photo. Maybe even a candlestick maker. Think he got fined too.

Must be a sad life if you have to make a few grand when a few million are spent on the movie.
