Avast me hearties…oh I can’t be bothered. It’s only 0930 and already Talk Like a Pirate Day is starting to be hard work.

Cabbage chips. That might be a thing. I hope it isn’t.

You have to feel sorry for the commentator when the leading protagonists in the women’s 100m at the World Championships* have names like Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Melissa Jefferson-Wooden.

* or the World Cabbage Chips, according to the BBC sub-titles.

Happy Birthday Twiggy. Six today. Six mile walk in the windy sunshine. Now playing giraffe* in the garden.

*I will spare you the rules.

Don’t know if they just brought him back for finals day but it was nice to hear Bumble back on commentary duty.Still don’t know why he left Sky though it coincided with a comment he made suggesting Pakistani players were a bit tight.

Oh those poor Rangers and Celtic fans. Been dishing it out for years but they can’t take it themselves.  Stop whining and suck it up. Or support your local team.

300 used to be considered a fantastic score back in the day of the 60 over Gillette Cup. You know, back in the day when Gavaskar scored 36 off 174 balls in the World Cup. India were chasing 334 off 60 overs which was considered impossible.  If Phil Salt had faced 174 balls he would have scored about 430.

I have no insights to add to the melts.

Another thing I’ve noticed the melt is that the characters who most frequently appear i.e. Jar Jar,Battle Droid ,Syth,etc all either have their own levels or you get an unlimited version through in game achievements.In other words you don’t need them in the melt to unlock their reward level.I’m sure that’s just coincidence.

Just getting over the excitement of England scoring over 400 in an ODI and 300 in a T20 then a brilliant Blast finals day when up pops Silver C-3PO in the melt.Back of the net!Need tranquilisers.

One down five to go.

Wonder if any old folk had heart attacks at 3.00 pm on Sunday?That government alert was really loud.Mind you they’re probably mutton Jeff at that age.Thinking of asking the gov to send one to my daughter’s phone every morning…

Comedy gold that flew under the radar.Enfield’s Simon Schama impersonation is priceless.

Suarez not so much ,I’ve lost count of how many times he’s been sent off but it must be double digits, though he is a bit of an alrounder.Aside from his 3 biting offences and his current spitting faux pas he also got a lengthy ban for racially abusing Patrice…[Read more]

Fell about with One Clavdivs @briann. This will be the forum’s least understood comment of all time and that’s going some.

See Luis Suarez has now got a lengthy ban for spitting. What is wrong with the man? Must have been spitting out bits of ear that he bit off during his three previous biting offences.
