Only one more sleep to go!

Or what will pass as sleep.

I think what happens at Cardiff will set the tone for the whole of the series. I can't wait for the real thing to actually happen now.

The test is washed out and smerky spends 5 days drunk and in tears???

I think smerfy will spend 5 days drunk and in tears no matter what happens. It'll be grief or extreme relief and euphoria.

Shit, I'd better get a new sig sorted...

Maybe a days since England last held the Ashes, or would that be tempting fate too much?

I'm free for the first day, then I'm working for the next four.


Whenever I get the chance, I'll be watching though.

Down the mines, Smerky?

LOL


I had farm, mines, pen or lamb factory in my mind.



Unfortunately neither.

Don;t be silly Skulls, he's clearly a shepherd.

It's the gravelly voice. I thought he had black lung.

I've got the next 5 days off

CAN'T WAIT!

I'm damned excited. Sort of. The weather is gash. So, I've got the day off for probably no reason. At least I'll get steaming.

Woo Hoo! The monsoon seems to have stopped too.

The sun is out here in Cardiff.

Couple of grey clouds around, intertwined with blue sky and the sun shining brightly.


A cool breeze should greet Strauss and Ponting for the Toss in a few hours.

bring it on

Sounds perfect and it's looking good on the live BBC link to the ground this morning.

Steady on, horrie, we don't want any heart attacks before it's even started.

You lining up a case of tinnies beside you H ... or mugs of steaming cocoa and a strip of Benzedrine?

The nurse is putting them in the fridge.

He has cognac drip fed. He's old but has money and some taste despite being an Aussie.

He'll be sleeping come the toss.

Drip feeding rot-gut Spanish "cognac" from a wooden tumbler whilst wearing a bright pink smoking jacket with the letter "H" emblazoned over his left nipple doesn't exactly amount to having taste.
Furthermore, being an Aussie (especially one of Roman origin) makes it all the more difficult to acquire said taste !

Qunts. I cannot wait.

*QUNTS*

I'm a bit jiggy with it now, positively a giddy kipper.

jiggy

Is that derived from where I'm guessing?
