Shakib Al Hasan vs Ian Botham / Burgey vs *****

[S.Kennedy]

I have three specimens of the Australian in mind,

1/ The Crocodile Dundee version, ''that's a knoife'', skin like leather, ehh ''gimlet eyed''. These are a dying breed I believe. This is what ''Australian cricket captains'' should be basically.

2/ The Joe Mangel version. String vest. Mullet. Drives a ute. Six-pack in the ute. Listens to AC/DC. Says things like ''strewth Sheila'' and ''fair dinkum''.

3/ Blond surfy types. Highly Americanised. Health conscious. Eat salad a lot.

Granted there is a bit of overlap. Warne straggled 2-3 (basically too fat to fully be a 3) but that is the correct designation on the specie Australia.

So much racism in this thread, awful stuff.

Depends on the conditions. Shakib in some countries and Botham in others. Realise the thread is way off topic at this point lol

Your first mistake was taking a slippy post seriously.

Careful brew Slippy takes his threads pretty seriously. He will find you.

I didn't realise 'Australian' was a race

Although if any race deserved to be discriminated against, it would be them.

 

[Mr Miyagi]

Shakib is on 15 votes.

Botham is on 13.

This is going down to the wire.

Hey *****, Re Australian Masterchef. I must admit to being a bit of a fan but for a number of reasons I haven't watched any of this current series.......until tonight.

Something I thought you'd be interested to know, from the 5 mins I've just watched it looks like around 50% of this seasons remaining contestants are Asian. Point for your argument I'd say.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah. Two were in elimination and one got voted out.

A Malaysian born woman got eliminated from Masterchef UK for making a Rendang that drew the following comments from the judges -

“I like your rendang flavor, however, the chicken skin isn’t crispy, it can’t be eaten.”

Crispy??? fmd.

White People telling Brown People what food should taste like


Literally should never be allowed tbh.

 

[Shri]

Yeah, go boil more potatoes ****s.

 

[Shri]

Didn't intend to remind you sooks of the irish potato famine btw. Sorry.

So Anthony Bourdain was in HK recently:

He comes here a lot. The man knows good food when he sees it.

So, a historic moment in Cricket Chat lore, when the Burgey vs ***** food machismo thread notches up more replies than the entire IPL 2018 season achieved.

Nice to see CW's priorities are spot on: well done everyone!

He was only transiting through. That’s what HK is for. The gateway to anywhere interesting. It’s the traveler’s purgatory.

Even more so than Singo? I guess Singo at least has decent sights and things to do if you do stay for a few days

 

[Burgey]

Singapore is warmer and, of course, far more interesting than Hong Kong. Plus Daemon >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> *****.

How's Burgeinho's man bun?

 

[Burgey]

It wasn't there this morning when he left for school, nor should it be.

As I exclusively revealed elsewhere on the site, he is having a haircut tomorrow to redress the abomination.

Interestingly, I did some research and it appears the man bun is a Hong Kong/ Indian/ Bangladeshi/ UAE invention which was first used while on holiday in Taiwan. Which explains why it is properly reviled by right-thinking people everywhere.
