Just watching the cricket

Post by Arghiro »

and the Sri Lankan Sangakkarra just went for 111. The comentator called it a "Nelson" - I presume that's 1 eye, 1 arm & 1 leg.

I liked that.

It's a game that all our other colonies & posessions learned off the English & can now beat us at. But then the Scots & Yanks were never much use as a Colony in anything else either. :troll:

WTF is that about?

Why are you advertising 1950's children's toys? I know it is your era & they are collectable, but I can't see the link to the Scottish inability to understand Cricket - unless, you equate your sporting finesse to that of Afghan rebels (who play football with human heads) - ahh, now I get it, just like Celtic & Rangers innit?
