For the quintessential cricket lover

The sport, not the insect. All (disgusting) entomophiles, you're looking for the 3rd door on your left down the hall, the one marked 'Exit'.

My current favourite is 'Jiggery Pokey', about Mike Gatting, Shane Warne, and 'the ball of the century'...

"it was jiggery pokery, trickery chokery,
how did he open me up?
robbery muggery, aussie skullduggery,
out for a buggering duck!"

Also, this - inf***incredible. The tainted genius.
But then, which one isn't? Maybe, arguably, SRT comes closest to not being.

Interesting point though. Any truly non-tainted genius you can think of, in any field?
Or is being tainted or flawed just a natural human failing? If it is, in fact, inevitable, then can it truly be called a failing? If it cannot, then it's all just relative, like everything else.
Like real beauty lies only in imperfection.

One (obviously) passionate - don't miss the !!! and the !!!!!! - and slightly misinformed (?) MJ fan :

Now we hv realised that we hv lost a legend!!

That he is a child molester, philodelphia etc etc!!!Now these blogers are saying they are lost a legend!!
Famous are allways famous!!We were all in jelous on him!!Its true!!!

MJ had way too many clothes. Can you imagine his laundry bills and all the pollution he must have caused through sheer use of detergent?
He should have hatred spreaded on him for Washington also.

Hey, come on, it's a tough word.
Stop laughing.
