  1. Lotus Cortina Mk1 Why, why, why, Delila ?
  2. gone
  3. As Alan Shearer has tweeted, it was at the Kop end.
  4. Only if you really want Cortana. I'm waiting at least 6 months before even considering this upgrade, as with all Micro$oft systems I expect it will get a hefty service pack in a couple of months. ( I get a tad annoyed at the Micro$oft TV ad implying that IT security is a thing we don't need to worry about any more because Windows 10 is the answer to all of mankind's woes ).
  5. They couldn't fool you though, could they.
  6. I don't sit in any of them. Why do people skip out of sequence and miss out questions on this thread ?
  7. The eucalyptus in my front garden. How many blue beans make five ?
  8. pickle
  9. hood
  10. deck
  11. eyes down
  12. Island
  13. Batch
  14. But a no-ball means that the batting side get an additional run, and the ball should be replayed. This is a Law of cricket, why does it only count when a wicket is claimed ? Apart from anything else, if a bowler is properly called for overstepping, there is less chance he would have sinned when a wicket is taken as he will be compensating in his run up. One of the things mentioned on the radio was to move the square leg umpire to standing square of the bowling crease, as his need to rule on run outs, stumpings, and decisions on catches carrying to the slip cordon, has been taken away by the use of the 3rd umpire and TV replays. If he was so moved, then he could rule on 'foot faults' and the standing official could concentrate on watching the batsman's end of the pitch.
  15. Why can't test umpires call no-balls any more ? This was discussed on the radio, where one reason given was that they are afraid to be shown as wrong by TV replays. However, if the front foot rule is a law of the game, surely it should be enforced.
  16. How much pre-season has he had ?
  17. Saints on a stream, cricket highlights on the telly :-)

    Budget

    Georgie Porgie selling our RBS shares for a billion pound loss http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-33769906
  20. NqWW7Ebln&index=10 I was sitting in Pizza Hut at lunch time and "Goodbye Stranger" came on the piped music - haven't listened to "Breakfast in America" for ages, classic album.
  21. The only thing I should feel embarrassed about is that I keep taking your bait. My knowledge of North America is more than adequate for my needs, and far greater than many US residents.
  22. Calling Alanis Morissette to the thread.
  23. Deja-vu
