as for the $11 million, i'm not happy, i expected that to be the bit where zim is squeezed. i will wait for final thoughts till all details are out though

As its in their interests due to money. Do you think that is a good situation for World cricket? That people vote for money and not for the game? Because its patently obvious that the BCCI is not interest in the world game.

Zim will recieve their full quota of cash, to line the pockets of Mugabes henchmen and fighters!

Glad your still happy to defend your board for allowing this to happen!

Stay out of it. You've already shown your capacity for rational thought and cogent argument elsewhere.

Stay out of it? Or what? Oooh, sounds much like a threat, maybe I should have a massive sook and report it. That'll make me look a big man in front of those silly ~~subis~~ aussies. Or maybe it'll just make me look like a dick. Yeah, that's much more likely. COngratulations Zat, you look like a dick.

Try it. Go on. My finger's on the report button right now.

Forum Gold!!!

Other way of dealing with it instead of reporting it is to sook about it, quitting the forum in a huff, writing a long post telling JD how badly he is running the place, then huff out again in a fit and then lurk around in the shadows a few weeks before crawling back in to post again.....

Don't you 'threaten' Doremi. He is going to catch a plane, land in Ol' Blighty, ask for where Danny lives [or look up a phone book to find you] and find you where you live and then he will........

I've thought about this and retract my reporting. After all, you never know with some of these characters - I'm sure we've all got a spare couple of grand to go searching for people in a different country because they've offended me.

In fact, just last month, I had a quarrel with some chap from New York. I got on a supersonic concord and was there within an hour. By god I gave him a thrashing.

I saw Salman Rushdie abused Buddha on a forum, he said 'Buddha you big fat b@stard'. By golly it got people angry and flying in all directions.

I was one of them. The premise of my anger was that King Suddhodana had no concept of formal, Christian marriage. Therefore HTF could the Buddha, in essence, be a bastard. By f*ck Rushdie got a beat-down.

Or what? Are you threatening lardy? He'll report this whole forum if you don't behave.

My objection was more mundane than philosophical or existential. I wondered how anyone could call Buddha 'fat' when anomolies like Sales and Key were readily demonstrable.
