pandarilla

Absolutely key partnership here for England - I don't see Bairstow or Prior hanging around for long. All the pomp and circumstance surrounding Lord's (and particularly with the Queen visiting) really does boil my piss though.

3 down...ooft

Folk that don't like garlic

Fully agree - but the pain-in-the-arse decision of when to stay up and when to go to bed when you've got work in the morning is a nightmare. I am however starting to get annoyed by the English arrogance. I like that I want them to win (for once) but they're pushing it. Botham in particular is doing my head in.

Cook and Pieterson have restored a bit of order to proceedings. Its got a wee bit slow - but hopefully KP will pick it up in the last hour. William Hill now have England favourites again, but its swung back and forth over the first two days. If this is anything to go by it could be an incredible series.

And amongst some of the posters on here if the last few pages are anything to go by!

England's day now - which wasn't looking very likely an hour ago

Who the f**k are you? I thought the Hibs fan defending these abominations was shocking. I'm with Granny Danger - I'm delighted to have moved away from this ridiculous nonsense.

As much as I'm concerned for your sanity Assassinach - you do make some good points.

He certainly was there... I take it he's the new poster boy of English cricket - the bad boy! My wife thinks he's very hot, and didn't really change her opinion when I pointed out his cricketing inconsistencies.

I'd like a cheeky pint of whatever Wunfellaff has been on all day...dat some crazy shit

I totally remember feeling like that. It scared the shit out of me at the time, kind of taking my breath away. I also love the quote on the YouTube page (from the clip on the first page of this thread): “Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.” Arthur C. Clarke

I like it when we talk about the deep stuff

Man I'm looking forward to the Ashes. I quite like the fact that I like the English cricket team. I don't know why I do I just do. Like the vast majority of Scottish football fans I hate their football team and really fucking hate their rugby team. But I like their cricket team. I think it might be to do with the fact that they were so shit when I was growing up - they always got stick from the media. Then they got good. Anyway I'm really looking forward to the Ashes.

How's the morphine? Do you have control over it - I remember quite liking that. And yeah - get well soon chief. Hospitals aren't nice

I wash my hands in the sink

This picture gets even more creepy if you imagine the arm on the right to belong to the girl with the glasses.

Does anyone remember the League of Gentlemen?

Which legs belong to which body?

Elvis Costello got it right... Tramp the dirt down

So defending Thatcher has led you pair of numpties to have a pop at Mandela? Interesting...

I've just seen Ed Miliband's wishy-washy reaction. The Labour Party really is an irrelevance

Or steal (considering the prices paid)? They weren't hers to sell.

Sums it up perfectly imo!

What is up with that guy's face? I thought it was not the done thing to punch the retarded
