Inability to focus on the topic at hand

Yet another reason the English will never be great cricketers

Wouldn't that just be y=x or y=-x for different values of x? Don't think it would result in the graph posted, with vertical bits

You're right, make it

I for one don't care if it's maths or breakfast being discussed..........so long as it's not the abomination that was the first 40 odd pages of this thread.

you had me at 'you're right'

I see what's going on here......you mean a sauce not gravy. Gravy is something you pour on your roast dinner (not on the roast potatoes though.......never on the spuds!!)

dwta

 

[Adders]

Nah, you can dip your spuds in the gravy but you can't pour the **** on top of them..........they go soggy and you loose all the lovely crunch.

Potatoes and gravy. Geez. This is such miserable food. Prisoners in the subcontinent eat better.

Not if they're made well/properly.

That is exactly what they eat.

They do get some sort of chutney on the side or something no? And a cup of chai?

 

[Adders]

Nah **** off.......roast potatoes are excellent mate (if they're done properly)

Roast potates if done excellently....are roasted ****ing potatoes.

Potatoes.

But hey, I guess you are what you eat, so this explains why the English cricketers are all spuds.

Should've picked the Great Wall - he'd still be there on 20 not out

And all Indian food is low quality meat and sauce, what's your point?

We're all vegetarians mate. FFS get with the program.

So wtf are you dissing spuds for then??

See how, when pressed, Scotsmen will have more compassion for their tyrannical neighbour than the colonies which fought against said tyrannical neighbour. This leads to their best players departing for greener shores next door and Scotland having a team being beaten by Afghanistan.

Literally the dullest vegetable alive. It's barely even a vegetable. It's just some weird root mutation that grows under the dirt.

England may not produce undisputedly great players, but there's no shortage of undisputedly **** players.
