Zog showed up with said family friend (TLE was delayed) and I went in for the shake and "family" cheek kiss thinking she was actually family and she thought I was a dirty ol' barsteward. Thought I'd get in before Zog gives his corrupted version.

An excellent time was had by all. The Lady Empress and family friend were great fun and top notch country folk. Hope to do it again soon.

Speaking of grouse wives, look what MrsK got me for my birthday...

it's the Clarrie Grimmett book.

Quicky:

What was unique about the last Test in the above question?

by LeFromage Fri 26 Feb 2010, 20:17

Both debutantes?

by LeFromage Fri 26 Feb 2010, 20:19

No. Shut up, me. F*cking idiot.

by skully Fri 26 Feb 2010, 20:20

Quite.

by LeFromage Fri 26 Feb 2010, 20:21

Three maiden hundreds.

by skully Fri 26 Feb 2010, 20:23

Not a unique occurrence. It has to do with the theme of the previous question.

by skully Fri 26 Feb 2010, 20:25

Have a look at the Snoozer 2nd innings...

You weren't groping a 23 year old when it was on?

Current question...

What unique event occurred in the recent Test NZ v BD at Hamilton?

by DJ_Smerk Sat 27 Feb 2010, 00:32

Bangladesh lasted around 5 days?

Longest effort before losing?

Maiden century by a number six in Hamilton?

Something to do with the lack of double centuries?

by LeFromage Sat 27 Feb 2010, 00:33

The first time numbers one to three have all been run out in the same innings.

by skully Sat 27 Feb 2010, 00:46

Indeed, JD.
