It won't be worse than the 6-0 in the SFC's 1000th game in charge. 2-1 to them I reckon. Bottom of the league :hehe:

We will lose. All after that is vanity.

It is going to take a while for the new chap to get going. In the short term, things will get a bit embarrassing.

Apparently we had a behind closed doors game vs Palace on Monday and we won 4nil.

Got to be good thing we’re putting in the extra yards.

The poor man has set up a twitter account, I gather. Hopefully for his sake it's configured so that he doesn't actually have to see any of the incoming ballistics.

I'll watch the cricket instead, C, just like last week.

I mean, Berni cursed us forever just to win one Ashes, so we might as well enjoy us thrashing a clueless Indian side, excepting Virat. Now he's got a manager we all hate and no hope of top 4, and we lost 4-0 down under last time, but our swing bowling under clouds is better than India's so all's right in B's world.

Gosh, yes. The Sri Lankan civil war. That was a bit of a rum do, wasn't it? Basically, light-coloured dark chaps against dark-coloured dark chaps as far as I could make out. No idea what they were all so cross about.

I imagine they feel awfully silly these days having got themselves into such a to-do about nothing. Oh, well.

I suspect that the short, sharp savagery saved an awful lot of lives in the long term. Also, the economy was utterly fúcked, and now it's (relatively) thriving.

You should go to this stadium, B. I really wanna go. I haven't been back there since it's been built.

And once you've watched cricket in the Himalayan town with the Dalai Lama's govt in exile, you'll probably realise the error of your ways, drop your Tory materialism, shave your head, wear orange and go round with a begging bowl as you commune with the Divine.

Though you could then go to Manali or the Parvati Valley on the other sides of the state and do it the Hindu way instead. Dreadlocks, not skinhead. Saffron not orange. And smoke chillums non-stop so you get to the higher spiritual planes without as much of the hard work.

Chillum make me Shiva and all that.

Altitude must make the bowling conditions interesting. Wouldn't fancy running between the wickets much (mind you, I don't at sea level, either).

Language, basically. There would be no real problem between Hindus and Buddhists under normal circs - Buddha is the 10th incarnation of Vishnu, after all.

But when the Tamils were forced to speak Sinhalese, they got the hump and started blowing things up, including poor old Rajiv.

But it's the lingo - think Belgium but with a much better understanding of the Divine and more bombs.

It's actually at the bottom of the hill in McCleod Ganj, so it's only about 1,100m above sea level. Not like the Tibetan Plateau's that's over 3.5k.

Would the ball move faster through the air cos it's thinner?

I really don't know why the money-obsessed BBCI doesn't play a couple of extra tests there at the end of May, just before monsoon breaks. Climate's ideal, like an English summer's day.

Certainly should go faster. Although it would probably swing less due to less air resistance. Should get some seriously big sixes, though.

we could always forget his terrible racism, in particular the Indians.

he also took gifts and cash from private businesses in return for influence in the UK political scene.

in short, he was just like modern politicians. Except the politicians around nowadays don't get sickly, over-strength lagers made for them.

It seems harsh to define him as racist. He was an Edwardian, maybe even Victorian gentleman; his views on race were on the liberal side of prevailing attitudes.

I've considered Winston at some length and have come to the conclusion that, overall, he was pretty alright.

[Ganpati's Goonerz--AFC's Aboriginal Fertility Cult]

There an extreme sect of Hindus. Think sort of puritan. There's even one lot that **** corpses so they don't get turned on, forcing them to think about Shiva as opposed to the rotting corpse their knobbing.

But the normal sadhus are sound. When I bathed in the Ganga at Varanasi, one came up to me from nowhere when I'd got out, made the trident sign on my head in ash and just buggered off. I actually felt rather honoured. Most tourists won't bathe there, what with the half burned corpses from dead people that couldn't afford enough wood for the funeral pyre but didn't want to skimp on the electric cremation.

But up in Himachal, the sadhus you meet are often westernised. They'll all Brahmins, obviously (priest caste init) so they'll go to university to make their parents happy, having grown up speaking English as well as Bengali or Hindi at home, but will then feel the call of the mountains and the desire to pursue a spiritual path.

So you can chat about politics, economics, philosophy etc with them. And they're really chilled, what with being middle class, educated Hindu hippies stoned off their trolley on the best puff on the planet.

It's meeting these ones that gets people like me and the Beatles into it all. You think they're the good ones and tend to ignore the huge numbers of normal non-sadhu Hindus who support the Hindutva nazis and burn Muslims and untouchables whenever they get the chance.

Politicians are cünts.

But cünts that introduce the welfare state, taking away power from the Lords in the process and get Spesh brewed for them, are better cünts than the rest.

Oh, he was an anti-Indian racist, C.

As you say, a lot of his class were. But a lot who had been there, whether George Orwell or Douglas Jardine loved the place.

He just hated the fact that they wanted independence and without India our empire, which he loved, was pointless.

As you say, he was a Victorian. But there were lots of Indophile Victorians just like there were lots of racist ones.
