You are forgiven Ravagon, as long as you don't post your joke.

[Caligastia]

Yes, no joking allowed.

Since when have good taste and simple entendre - Tamerlin? Is that the opposite of double entendre? - been prerequisites in these threads!?

Red Card for ravagon!

[Caligastia]

Yes, joking is mandatory!

Do you mean double sens (double meaning) and unable to read beyond the sens premier (a bit like literal-minded)?

It's true good taste and lack of humour are certainly not prerequisites to post here...

Red card!

Heh. What do you expect from somebody with John Howards sense of humour (or so I'm told )?

Bit tricky this one. I think I headed down the wrong linguistic garden path - there's a metaphor and a half for you! - with the double entendre thought. What I was after was an alternative - or, indeed, opposite - to ravagon's reckoning that anything posted here should only be capable of being taken one way. Obviously, everything we post is loaded with multiple meanings, all of them offensive. That's our way, and we're proud of it. So, Tamerlin, I'm after something that means "only one crystal clear meaning and incapable of being misinterpreted".

And, once we've established what it might be, we can tell ravagon that it's most certainly not welcome in our threads.

Q.E.D.

[ravagon]

OT (there's a laugh ) for a moment if I may ...

Anybody with thoughts on where the Cricket WC is going to end up?
Apparently NZ has now flat-out refused to show up for their match in Kenya for security reasons, England and Australia are still unsure over whether to go ahead with their matches in Zimbabwe (security considerations are involved as well as the, er, Mugabe factor), and the Dutch are unhappy about something now too (quite what that may be I'm not sure as I just caught a bit of it on the radio this morning).
Where will this all end up? Kiwi's will probably have to forfeit the points from a clear win (that may be a little unfair I suppose as I haven't seen Kenya in action lately for a better estimate of their capabilities).
If certain matches don't go ahead it won't be a good thing for expanding crickets horizons around the globe - certainly not for the minor countries already involved either...

Frankly, it's a political football. Just to get things back on topic. And shame on you, ravagon, for posting something off-topic.

The ICC decided only yesterday, IIRC, that the Zimbabwe games will go ahead. Security isn't the problem in Zibwawe, it's purely political. While Mugabe is definitely a very dangerous megalomaniac - something he shares, BTW, with Howard, Blair and Witless - the push against the Zimbabwe games has come from Howard and Blair. They didn't have the guts to kick Mugabe out of the Commonwealth, now they're trying to use cricket as a political tool. Not playing games there is going to have absolutely no impact on Mugabe or his methods.

Kenya, OTOH, IMHO, is a bona fide security threat. They shouldn't be playing there.

My hunch is that the Zimbabwe games will go ahead - save for those teams that choose not to play there, who will forfeit the games - and the Kenya matches will be relocated.

Hands up anyone else who thinks Caligastia should ask our permission before he starts other threads in the OT forum?

We say (generally about a sentence) it is "sans équivoque".
