Terrible news

I think he had Nightmares of Yuvraj hitting Broad for six 6's in a row !!!

How has it taken two months since he was offered the contract for him to decide there's too much touring? That's crap.

Turned into Rodgie. Sorry, turned into Rodgie?

Without the question-mark, I'd agree 100% with that post. That's 2 things I need to put reports up of...

EDIT: Done.

TBF the word 'how' indicates a question. In any case, it's very dire.

He was offered the contract in July. If he had to give the ECB an answer then and there it would have been no. By holding out I think he was hoping South Africa would come up with an offer. They didn't but Warks did.

I think he was always waiting for Warks. It was just a case of waiting for who got the position. Reeve or Giles.

Without wanting to get into another silly argument ()...

"How d!re?" is a very different thing to write than "how d!re". How, used in this short-n-shap context ("how d!re is this?" would be an extension) - it leaves room for two contexts. "How" can also be used as a substitute for "this is", which obviously isn't a question, at all.

UIMM Sam wasn't really asking us "is this d!re?", rather saying (on a presumption that the question wasn't even required - I think just about all England fans will agree that it is indeed rather a shame) "this is d!re".

Silly lecture over.

I knew what he meant, I was being pedantic

 

[Matt79]

d!re? Is there an avatar challenge going on?

I think he refuses to use the word.

 

[Richard]

I do indeed. When paraphrasing someone else I'm careful to avoid using it so as not to add to my d*** seach-results number.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

d***

Avoiding the filter.

 

[Richard]

Nah, the d, i, r, e word isn't actually filtered, regardless of Whelan and "irfan"'s attempts.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I uh, didn't mean dire.

 

[Richard]

I know, but I did.
