"Ricky Ponting, fact fans, is from Tasmania. It's like Australia's Isle of Man. Two weeks in Leicester is like a dream cultural break for the Aussie captain."

Hahaha, I've actually been to Tassy and for all the 11 fingers and toes gags it is so beautiful. One of my favourite parts of Oz

Leicester's awesome. Going there tomorrow . Leicester.

Too many Kolpaks though.

This thread is one of the more of recent times.

 

[GIMH]

Not hear Ponting's quote?

 

[Richard]

I didn't see a link to a quote in the opening post - which is pretty much common CW currency - so I was rather baffled.

 

[GIMH]

Ah, don't have a link or anything, but he said something along the lines of, "I hope we don't go out because then we'll be stuck in Leicester for two weeks"

 

[Richard]

O I C.

Shouldn't this really be in the Twenty20 World Thingy forum, or the Ashes one?

Or, possibly more appropriately, CH?

 

[Burgey]

It's in England.

It's in England.

It must kill you that you love London so much?

It must kill you that you love London so much?

Yeah, it does. Bloody wonderful city I have to say. Would move there tomroow tbh, especially with the Ashes just around the corner.

It's awfully crowded though. Not very roomy.

[superkingdave]

Didn't Sir David Attenborough grow up in Leicester?

 

[wpdavid]

So who exactly is this Leicester Ricky?

 

[zaremba]

don't forget mark morrison

Yep. I've got a friend whose father is the judge who sent Mark Morrison to prison for sending someone else to go along and do his community service for him.

Also Daniel Lambert, Britain's fattest man
