    True. On both counts.

    I try to see Hampshire at the Rose Bowl, whenever I visit my dad.
    John Crawley plays for them, and, hopefully, Warne will captain them after his ban.
    Hampshire - home of the greatest voice of cricket, the late John Arlott. I've only ever been to one county match. Many years ago, Yorkshire -v- Kent at Scarborough. Wonderful atmosphere.

      Mmmm. I think you've just given away your birthday.

        OTOH, if it had been a photograph of my wife's yapping little white dog - weighing 8kg - I would have agreed with you.

          My little brothers.Always felt that way .The presents were not too bad. The thing that actually upset him was the fact that NO child who is born on that day gets a proper party.Always it gets lumped together.

            Nuh. The vet said he had to lose weight. No more snacks between meals.

            Yeah, yeah! You'd probably nod off again!

              He should look on the bright side. No one's going to forget his birthday.

                The Rose Bowl is a good stadium and along with the Durham stadium hosts a one day international each year.
                It is a sunken bowl ground, which, if the sun is shining forms a trap that is lovely.
                Saw a few nice innnings from Katich there last season and a six from Ally Brown that landed somewhere in the neighbouring postal district.

                    Would fit rather well with the .600 nitro rounds I was planning to use.

                      We couldn't possibly do that!
                      How would Finbar ever clean up the mess?

                        Oh bollocks, go on, you are right, it is only 8kg after all; he only needs to change the hoover bag once.

                          You're a twisted pair of individuals.

                            Or are you claiming that this case will be dismissed on the grounds that the 8 kilo monster will never be found to be cute?

                              She's down to 6 kilos. Mrs finbar's away and I'm starving the little bastard to death.

                                A classic case of short term pleasure being worth more than long term pain?
