It's about the only thread I post in. I'm happily engaged with a 1 year old girl actually and they have no complaints
Fiery, you do realise that that sounds like you are getting married to a 1 year old? as opposed to having a 1 year old daughter

Well done to England, their fans deserve this, the long suffering and loyal Barmy Army deserve this. Andrew Flintoff deserves this. Well done.

You don't say "engaged with" you say "engaged to"

So Fiery didn't say anything incorrect in the strictest sense.

Well thats it, not the way I would have thought anyone would want to win a series. Very dissapointing with the rain hurting the match dramatically, the game was won when gilchrist was bowled first ball after the rain break and the middle order crumbled.

Craziest Australian tri-series I've ever seen.

England win the series (and 2-0 at that!!!) without Pietersen, Trescothick, Anderson, Lewis, Vaughan, Simon Jones and countless others.

Unbelievable really.

They did benefit from the rain, but I think they deserved to win this one too. Just about had us on toast before the interruption (during our innings).

I kinda think good on 'em. It was such a ****ing wretched tour up to this point, one of the most depressing I think I've seen. In a way I don't begrudge them salvaging something at the end after the sojourn in hell this trip has been.

Hopefully we won't panic too much. **** happens.
Yeah I agree. The rain was a bit of a pain, but I'm not all that fussed about the result tonight. England played some good cricket in the finals, and though I feel we'd probably win against them most of the time, they certainly deserved to come out ahead on the cricket played.

Plus it's heartening to see them do well in the form they've been horrible at for so long. Would have been a lot more disappointed about losing a test.

Looking forward to the World Cup even more now too, if England are going to be competitive.

Yeah, fair play to us & all, but frankly I'd still have preferred an ODI whitewash & us being vaguely competitive in The Ashes. Even losing 3-1.

When Oz win the WC no-one will remember this.
That goes without saying, but your choices a couple of weeks ago were pretty much getting creamed and humiliated in both. Beggars can't be choosers. :p

Speculation about who'll win the WC aside, I reckon it will add quite a bit of fuel to the next few games between these two sides, and they'll likely meet in a Super 8 game. You've forgotten to enjoy the little things. Get in there!

Yeah it's astonishing stuff. Nobody would ever have picked it really, especially after the Ashes and the capitulation in Adelaide.

Watch it Prince EWS, it clearly says engaged "with" not "to". Jokes like that cross the line of decency mate. That's my family you're talking about and if you said that to my face you would probably wear one.
Trembling in my boots here. Someone telling me they hit me if I met them in real life - wow. I better avoid that extremely unlikely occurance. And I best not go around with a big "Prince EWS" tag on my shirt either.

Anyway, the quote clearly lends itself, especially since you had asked someone if they had a girlfriend just a minute earlier - the same post where you questioned someone's sense of humour.
