Amazon.com sells Astroglide (not well known in the UK - think KY without the surgical style packaging)… As always customers review the product.

Twenty20

Posted at 9:58am on Sunday, February 6th, 2005

Michael Holding slags off Twenty20 cricket. So much so he has refused to commentate on it (which is a shame as he has one of the finest voices for cricket I’ve ever heard). All I have to say is this… Seeing usually empty county grounds sold out on a midweek evening, full of families as well as groups of lads makes a really simple statement. People want to watch cricket, but county cricket is dull and International Cricket is oversubscribed. As someone who makes his living out of cricket Holding should realise that English cricket needs a fan base and a cash injection - Twenty20 provides both of those in abundance. And it’s highly entertaining as well.

Harsh lessons probably ignored

Posted at 9:47am on Sunday, February 6th, 2005

So. Both England and France begin the Six Nations badly - France get away with it (rightly much to the Scots’ disgust) while Wales get a deserved win against an arrogant and lacklustre English side. I placed a bet on Ireland yesterday to win the competition at 11-2 (3rd favourites). I think my money was well placed.

BMW launches new feature

Dubbed Bellendtronic, the new system is fully integrated into the car’s control systems and allows a range of functions including full disablement of the indicators, perilously late activation of the brakes and an adapted radar cruise control that allows the driver to sit 4mm from your back bumper in the outside lane of the M6.

Whoosh

Posted at 8:32pm on Wednesday, February 2nd, 2005

That has to be the most exciting, tensest last 6 overs of cricket I have ever watched. England tie the thrilling second match in the One Day Series. You’ve got to say the South Africans gave it to us, but who cares - I’ll take a draw from that position any day…
