God love them, our vulgar Russki friends really don't f**k about, do they?

The Orangery in Kensington Palace, vintage Champagne with pearls in; caviar you'd actually want to eat; a ridiculously powerful rum punch in lovely copper cups; leggy, severely underdressed Russian blondes serving haute cuisine nibbles where everything either involves sheets of flavoured gelatine that melt in broth and/or wearing headphones that make piggy snuffling noises in your ear while you're required to snout for truffles through a tray of dried leaves.

And now the shots of ridiculously expensive vodka drunk through the biggest ice sculpture you've ever seen.

Is there nothing I won't do for UK plc? I should get a f**king medal imo. :cry:

How's your evening going?

A good score by the batters too. And a lovely catch by Finn.

Mind you, I've never said the buggers can't spin a ball. Say what you like about Allan, but he clearly gets spin bowling. And reverse swing.

Conversely, I've always loved Admiral Akhbar. Particularly his cool, ankle-swinging trouser suit.

Cue jokes about Muslim dress code and lack of ankle visibility

Quite wobbly, at the moment. Need to centre myself.
