Better recognition for spinners???

[Richard]

I heard something from O'Donnell on the cricket show that it is how Murali says it is spelled - so they will spell it as such.

I guess Muralitharan is similar to how Valeri Bojinov's last name isn't actually Bojinov (couldn't think of any other example ).

I was interested, though, to see that C9 spell Samaraweera's Christian name as Tilan as opposed to Thilan.

Sri Lankan names seem to me to change, regularly, and sometimes even change back to something they had once changed from. Odd, I know, but I presume it's just due to noncompatibility with whatever language they originate from and English.

Go on, Richard. Fill us in on the joke. I've got a fair idea of what it might be, but please - confirm my thoughts if you could.

 

[Richard]

The irony of you preaching to someone about people-skills.

 

[pasag]

Probably best for a clean slate here etc.

 

[Richard]

Probably best I stop getting into silly sillities, yes - but if you think myself and Voltman are ever going to get on you're asking for too much TBH, it just ain't gonna happen. You can have 50 clean-slates, there's gonna be the same old stuff on it again before long.

I'll do my best not to respond to his posts from now on, but the irony of that one was just too much.

 

[Athlai]

"Not until... you appreciate... the irony."

 

[Smudge]

Six years working in retail, followed by four years working as a journalist? Yeah, I don't have people skills. Good one, pal.

And yep, my thoughts were on the money.

Please note who started this one, pasag.

 

[Pup Clarke]

What are we in the playground?

Wanna play Catch 'n Kiss?

 

[Pup Clarke]

Me no playin.

Never once did I say you don't have them, merely that you don't use them - at all, mostly - on CW. You're one of the most unpleasant, inconsiderate posters on here.

Either way - as Gelman says, probably best not to get into this rubbish again.

Come on Richard, there's no need for comments like that. It doesn't paint you in a good look, regardless of how you feel about Voltman.

As pasag said, its probably more than time for a clean slate to be drawn.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Solid call, skip.

 

[Perm]

And perhaps you could brush up on your people skills. Don't you think he used etc for a reason?

Yeah I probably should.

[Smudge]

Yeah I probably should.

I run classes twice-weekly over the 'net on being considerate and pleasant if you're interested?

Haha, we'll see. I do need to have a yarn to you though, so if I don't see you on MSN for the next few days I might just email you. Regarding journalism.

 

[Smudge]

I'm online now, but it looks like you're "busy". I won't ask exactly what you're doing... I'm online a bit at the moment as I trawl the internet for jobs.

 

[Richard]

If you find that fact funny, meanwhile...

 

[Perm]

It was funny, as it's so false.
