It has got to be either the proclamation of Wavell Hinds as the greatest batsman of alltime or the England team taking legal action to ensure that Chris Gayle can play for them effective for the 2nd Test. Am I warm?

Warm? WARM?

Has Doris Hickinbottom dipped you in paraffin, mistaking you for an ant?

Do you have an armadillo-related problem (or 'plobrem', if it is a rare Chinese armadillo)?

I think not, my spliffy friend

Chinese people have no problem with 'l' and 'r' sounds, LE... That's Japanese people. Even then it is only 'l' to 'r', so it would be a probrem, if it was a rare Japanese armadillo.

The more you know... :)

As they say, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, and once again, you have proved yourself to be dangerous.

What you say is perfectly true if it was the common Chinese armadillo, but I specifically said the rare Chinese armadillo which migrated to the Asian mainland hundreds of years ago from Japan.

This isolation has wrought many changes on the species.

It can be discerned from the common-or-garden Chinese armadillo by a simple observation. The next time you see one, if it is eating ants, then it is the common one. If, however, it is gnawing on the cadaver or the beached bones of a dead lepidopterist, lying there amongst his twisted, crushed butterfly nets, you will know.

I hope you don't collect butterflies professionally. That is becoming one of the most dangerous occupations in certain areas of China at the moment, because the rare Chinese armadillo is no longer so rare in areas bordering Mongolia (or 'Mongoria, as the local armadillos refer to it).

Seventeen days.

Have you ever watched a clock? Well, this is a bit like that.

Tempus fugit?

Not blooming likely.

Still, the armadillos will help you to pass the time between now and then.

That's just two more than a fortnight - only just over half a month.

Mind you, a week is a long time in politics, so I suppose politically speaking it is too long.

Or rather, it is too.2857142857142857142857142857143 long
