Offmessage

Researchers from Cardiff University reckon that 24th January is the most depressing day of the year. That’s Claire’s birthday. Every year (unsurprisingly). How harsh is that?< ?p>

They started the day with the bookies offering 12-1 against them winning, but between Trescothick and particularly Hoggard they absolutely smashed South Africa. English cricket is definitely still going strong. News of the injuries to the front line bowlers may be worrying, but with Gloucester favourite John Lewis being called up there’s every chance that we’ll keep taking wickets. If he can bowl anything like he can for Gloucestershire (like 3 wickets in the first 3 overs of the 2004 C&G final) then the bowling line up still looks very strong. If Harmison can find his line and length for the last match we’ll be sorted.

Anus.

Back again. Prince Harry. What a silly bastard. Woo splash.

…but funny nevertheless.
