It's a duck word, used in nest-building, only I'm not very good at spelingg.

Cunnilintel, I meant, but it should have been "cuneilintel", meaning to stuff a supporting wedge-shaped twig in to support the whole structure.

From "Cuneiform" - 'Having the shape of a wedge'
and "Lintel" - 'Supporting a horizontal member'.

See "Pointyshlong"

ah! i see! you learn something new every day...thanks dd...

Someone forgot that loudmouth radio jockey who went ballistic in Athens during the 2004 Olympics. He has potential to be a cult hero.

Was that during one of the walks? That was hilarious!

i've always liked Ashley Giles from the very first moment of playing ICC 1. Good player but not exactly world class.

Darren Maddy used to be very high in my esteem(for the same reason) until he got a test call up....think he got 7 or something similar against (maybe) South Africa...may be utterly wrong about that but i remember he got out trying to hit a ball that barely bounced on the square.

[EDIT] After actually looking it up....he got 5 in that innings against New Zealand in 1999 [Edit]

No mention of any walk, but he seemed upset about the medal-winning athletes not coming to his station for interviews, when they had the official rights for coverage of the Olympics. You can read more about that incident on this page. As you might have noticed, it's a familiar name.
