Oh, alright then. An Arsenal supporter finds somethig else to moan about.

His kids might see that

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Unless he steals some.

[Snin]

[Monty91]

Though he is very punchable

[Classic Jorge]

If it's the latter I should remind you of Australian women and ask you to think again.

He looks like an indian lad of good stock to me, he's probably already betrothed to a gorgeous daughter of a nouveau riche Mumbai property mogul.

Whatever team he bats for.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[ArseMart - Enjoy every sandwich]

Aside from the filth obviously.

[Classic Jorge]

I reckon he's at least 8% disappointed that it wasn't like Mary Poppins

[Berni]

When the only time you were likely to be subjected to their drivel was if they cornered you in a pub somewhere? Or if you acted as a visitor in mental hospitals?

Those were good times. And we didn't even realise it.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

However, I don't know if my enjoyment might have been enhanced or reduced if I'd ever actually seen Mary Poppins. :shrug:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I've seen Mary Poppins. It's utter, utter dog****. I mean, I know it's supposed to be for children, but to enjoy it you'd have to be a retarded child with no eyes or ears.

[Classic Jorge]

Nowadays it seems like your vox populi is very much a turn populi.

It's as if people are living in their own reality shows, armed with their own little routine about how 'maaaad' they are in the hope that somebody will feed their narcissism by pointing a camera at them.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

These people really exist. They're not actors. You realise that, don't you?

[redgunamo]

[Classic Jorge]

But as little time I have for musicals that song and dance number on the rooftops is a cinema landmark.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Now I come to think of it, there were some ace bits. Erm, the carpet bag bit. Yes. And Dick Van Dyke's accent. Yes, excellent.

lapped it up when it's on telly or in movies.

[Classic Jorge]

Actually, that's all I've got

[Berni]

He could have introduced some long, portentous dialogue scenes, followed by losts of chasing around streets and empty staircases to the accompaniment of an overblown score.

[Berni]

[redgunamo]

[Classic Jorge]

He'd then remove any semblance of comedy or charm from it and lap up an inordinate amount of undeserved praise like the big poncey charlatan he is.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

He's got a twin brother? Really? That's your f**king twist? f**k. Right. Off.

It was a long time to wait to see Julie Andrews' tits, I can tell you. Well done my horny teenage self for his patience.

who seem to share my opinion that killing someone is likely to elicit a somewhat emotional response from a bowler.

Michael Caine was last worth watching in Zulu. Everything else is pointless.

Jesus.

[Berni]

get over it.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

Except Get Carter. That was good.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

You're bang on one today.

[redgunamo]

[Berni]

driving? Of course not. You'd feel bad for a bit and then you'd get back in the saddle. Nothing wrong with that and there's no value in dwelling on these things too much.

[Berni]

character. He's good.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

'enthusiastically', in a manner which was more risky than normal driving, then I would, perhaps, be taking a long hard look at myself, and I would almost certainly hesitate to do it again.

You bowl it to be intimidating, but you don't bowl it to try and hurt people,' said Hoggard.

Such bowling is intimidating because it carries with it the risk of pain and injury. Yer man might be considering whether he wishes to run such a risk again.

repertoire and every batsman is expecting it at some point. The responsibility for dealing with it lies with the batsman who is out there and knows it's coming.

Equally, both bowler and batsman have a reasonable expectation that the batsman's protective equipment will preserve him from anything more than superficial damage. Now that wasn't so in this instance, but this instance is genuinely freakish.

*What does that actually mean?

[Ashberto]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

threatening physical harm. I don't suggest that there is anything wrong with that, merely that it is perfectly reasnable to assume that the bowler will suffer an emotional response to the fact THAT HE HAS KILLED SOMEONE AS A RESULT OF TRYING TO SCARE HIM BY THROWING A LUMP OF ROCK HARD LEATHER AT HIS HEAD AT 300 MPH.

I shall try typing more slowly so that you can follow as I know you don't read so good.

I did think that, if natural selection doesn't do it, then actual selectors may have some responsibility here, for failing to keep Hughes out of harm's way.

But of course, that is actually what the game itself is for, isn't it http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/ohwell.gif

[Berni]

I know what you're saying, but you seem to be implying not only that he will be feeling some guilt, but that he should. I disagree.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Imagine if I was flying an airshow, the spar broke, and I piled into the crowd. Despite being dead, would I not feel guilt for taking out spectators? Naturally they were there voluntarily and knew the risks, as did I, but ultimately I was the one holding the stick as the aircraft impacted the crowdline at a 45 degree angle, spraying burning Avgas across a brought front, the red hot crankcase departing the airframe and taking out the St John's Ambulance tent before exploding with the force of a 50 megaton nuclear device in teh middle of the cider tent.

inherent in being a top test match fast bowler as he struggles to dismiss his batsman nemesis.

[Berni]

equipment because he would never have dared to try and bat like that before it. Boycs is right: people get hit a lot more these days than before helmets because their techniques don't have to be as good anymore.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

More 'Days Of Boredom Punctuated By Sandwiches And Halves Of Lager And Lime', really.

[redgunamo]

Sean Penn as the umpire perhaps.

[Berni]

did you? You just did what you were supposed to do, something unfortunate happened and some people got hurt through no fault of yours. Unfortunate things happen. Why blame yourself or anyone else?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

worthwhile taking. Then someone died and your ego looked a bit unimportant.

[Berni]

But we all do it all the time. Every time you get in your car you know the risk exists that you might kill someone. Doesn't stop you doing it, though. Life is full of misfortunes - you can't go around feeling guilty for everything.

[redgunamo]

It could work, you know.
