Love the Atherton story Robin

There are some who maintain, though I can't remember who or why, that Atherton lurks around CW from time

If true then I think England's erstwhile skipper should offer you an all expenses paid trip to one of next summer's tests by way of further reward

How about it Athers?
I would also like a ticket Mr Atherton.

Great story that, Robin. As were the others. Just read all your posts and absolutely loved your anecdotes. I try to do the same thing that you did all your life - bowl quick and try to swing it. Still would like to believe (ambitiously, perhaps) that I have fifteen or so years left in my system! :D

Also am incredibly jealous of the fact that you got to see Trueman bowl live, who unfortunately hung up his boots decades before I was born. If there is one cricketing memory I'd love to go back in time for, that would be it.



What a legend! :cheers:I think it's fair to conclude that I'll love every moment of your stay on this forum.
Hi there, thanks 4 the kind comments.
Love your username BTW - though I would have made it In/Outswinger@Pace - which would (in my case) be wishful thinking.
Regards,
Robin.

Just a couple of tickets would be nice Michael!

I think we've already established you need at least 3 Robin, taking into account the freeloading smali and AN

ugh......you are so 1911 Robin.

If you use the American English version of the Word editor on your PC you will get a red line under the word enamoured :P
Why bother having a spell check installed if you're going to set it to urban slang anyway though?

AMERICAN English?
Wot the firkin 'ell is THAT?
Those loud-mouthed arrogant tossers don't speak/write ENGLISH - they're too busy invading innocent people to even LEARN English!
And BTW, amour is FRENCH, and THAT'S how it's spelled - it means LOVE!
Therefore, it IS enamoured, not enamored!
Sorry to be so pedantic, but I happen to be RIGHT!
Kind regards,
Robin.

Robin, I get the feeling you're precisely as cantankerous as I both want and expect you to be.

We can have a long and happy time together here.

Regards,
Jake

Reporting me Mr Shah?
To whom, and for what?
Calling Americans "tossers" isn't being racist, it's a statement of FACT!
Arrogant?
I think not - outspoken certainly, particularly when I'm RIGHT!
Prick?
That's the only 1 you're right about!
Kind regards,
Robin Loudmouth.
