Nine v Sky: who wins television's Ashes? | Sport | theguardian.com

jesus ****ing christ

You know, I didn't think it was too bad, until I got to this bit:

Best commentary trio: Michael Slater, Mark Taylor and Ian Healy. Enjoyed incredible success on the field together and in the box augment the strengths of each other. ‘Slats’ is the hype man, ‘Tubby’ the pragmatist and ‘Heals’ most capable of sharp, pointed criticism of umpires and players. Their affection for each other and the game is appealing.

Home brewers will know that you can get screw caps for PET bottles. Generally black with the anit-tamper seal. So you buy your favourite mixer in a generic brand take of the top hundred ml or so and add spirit to taste to refill, then put on your home brewer's cap. If they go to check the seal at the gate you get the crack and fizz of a never previously openned bottle of soft drink. Dark and stormies all day long babeh!

Are you doing this for the SCG Test? If so, I want in.

Any place that stocks home brew supplies will probably have them. Just hunt up the Coopers brew kits.

a family friend of mine had the ingenious idea of buying a loaf of bread and then cutting a hole through the loaf big enough to fit a bottle of rum, got it through the security and everything but got kicked out towards the end of the day when someone saw him pouring something out of a loaf of bread into a coke bottle

Got my tickets for the first four days

Can't believe I got sucked in to going for four days

Looking forward to it though

Jammy git, most I have ever managed of an ashes test was 3 days in 97. 4 is just greedy.

 

[fredfertang]

Can't see it lasting to a fourth day myself

Bill is staying away in protest at the Abbott government

Brown gone. Rudd gone. Gillard gone. Now Lawry. Abbott doing so many good things.

En route to a golden summer.

i would rather MJ play than Cutting, NCN, McKay and Faulkner just ftr

Ditto. Better than Chad and Copeland too. Granted it aint a pissing competition but it'd be nice to have a bowler who can get to the opposite side of the pitch.

will be played in the right spirit, but there will be a lot of ugly moments.

The vicar stayed for a long time, but left straight away.

Ru Paul has really reached new heights there for turdbrainness.

Does anyone seriously disagree with what Pietersen said about Brisbane? Finally a Pom gets something right.

A subtropical Minto.

 

[Furball]

If I had any idea what Pietersen said then I might chip in.

Nah, nice place these days

It's the outer areas of the GC and Brisbane that are dodgy

When I moved from Brisbane to Leumeah in 1970, Minto was a post office and a one-classroom school, so yeah.
