You've shacked up with the local butcher?

The butchery procedural trainer for the south west.

Anyway, keep the plans coming. We need to discuss the topic of food and easily made snacks.

Excitedly wait for the start of each day's coverage (starts at 8.00 pm in Sydney), chew my fingernails to the bone if we are batting, and hope like hell for wickets if we are bowling, scream alternate obscenities and compliments at the TV (depending upon the goings on), watch play through to 12.10 am (Tea) and fall asleep in the armchair before the final session starts.

Wake up and hope like hell the last session went well for Aus.

Repeat 24 more times.

hmmn...skully's plan is my plan...cept i warm up the old crystal set and have lots of paper and pens at the ready to:
1 compose abuse letters to the NSP
2 compose cricketing obit notices for bung, fleas and haddit
3 compose a new version of the Oz victory ditty as we sweep to another glorious 5-0 win

Are you helping out with his strap-on fantasy Dem?

My plan - tried and true. Watch the first hour or so. Retreat to bed - turn on the radio broadcast, assess options.

an excellent plan...cricket on the wireless is great...

by tac Mon 22 Jun 2009, 08:10

wireless . . . . snigger

phurt...the first time I listened to test commentary from Pomgolia was with a crystal set...the crocodile clip worked well on the metal venetian blinds

by tac Mon 22 Jun 2009, 09:07

I didn't have the heart to suggest that, h, but I was thinking it . . .

hehehehe...thought you might...expect you had the tranny under the pillow...as it were

If I were Trev, I'd probably be asking face-down or face-up . . . .

we are debating about whether she will move in before the wedding or not . . . I'm still hoping she'll live with her parents after the wedding and just come around when I feel the need . . .

excellent idea...I do not understand the compulsion to live under one roof!!

Living under the one roof can descend into trouble and an expensive loss of roof!...two old friends of mine have been partners for 30+ years but have never lived under the same roof..they always live in the same suburb a shortish stroll at the most from one another..a very successful relationship

by tac Mon 22 Jun 2009, 09:50

sounds ideal, h, I'm very used to the freedom of living alone . . .

by horace Mon 22 Jun 2009, 09:54

agreed....then when you know you are about to get a 'lucky visit'...you can just open the windows...clear the cigar stubs and stow away the good grog

by tac Mon 22 Jun 2009, 09:58

mate, I never even had them around home, always stayed the night at a hotel . . . saves housework and the neighbours can't get too nosey . . .

I like this relationship cos he goes away a lot. After being on my own for a long time I couldn't bear the 24/7 stuff. This suits me perfectly. I just wish he'd remember to untie me before he went.

Mick, the strap-on fantasy is all mine Very Happy

Good times. My earliest memories of an away Ashes was as a barely-in-double-figures kiddy lying beside my old man listening to Alan McGilvray and John Arlott call the 72 Ashes.

Yeah, I know I tell it every time the English Ashes series comes around. Cool

skully in tranny under the pillow shocker . . . Very Happy

It is refreshing to see some cricket fans at the periphery getting excited about a tournament. These minor series (Asses? Ashes?) should be encouraged, IMO, as building the essential fabric of the great game that is cricket. Cricket fans everywhere should support the teams and their little competition. I certainly will.
