Watching Ravi Bopara turning back the years.Has he played a better innings?One of only a handful of players still playing in The Blast who was there at the start.One of the others is of course our mate Samit Patel.

Carbonite Melt News

There is no CMN except to say Jar Jar Bloody Binks…again…

Seems to spend a lot of time sleeping @desperate-dan.A two seater all to herself?Spoilt rotten.

How strange that in the last few days the Challenge has featured three levels for which Kathy was the trophy holder. Out of respect it ought to be customary not to compete for such an award but I guess not everyone got the memo. Actually, I don’t even know what a memo would look like these days, so it is hardly surprising. Anyway, I think she has…[Read more]

Here is Miss September, signifying the first day of meteorological autumn. Of course it is called autumn. How else could things be autumnal?

Sadly symptomatic of World cups these days .Football WC also becoming bloated with 48 teams next year and I believe 64 is a number being talked about for 2030.Just results in yet more meaningless one sided matchups and overall quality suffers.Best WC ever was 1970 where 16 teams qualified but every game seemed to matter.

Agree, The Hundred is good fun. Watching the finals now. Anything but women’s rugby. Seems like a farcical format although there has been now been one close match out of about 12,

Rumours of Donalds death are quite worrying.Vance is Veep.

Pity about the Eliminator tonight.Hardly a Hundred game ruined by the weather and now this.Hope the final goes ahead as I think it’s a tournament that has improved year on year.Deserves a fitting finale.

I do like it’s quirkiness so I hope the new investors don’t try to homogenise it into just another T20 tournament.

Accidently swallowed some scrabble tiles.Suffering some awful vowel movements.

Had my first eye test in over 5 years yesterday and not because I’d noticed a deterioration in my vision but had sat on my glasses one too many times.Surprised to find my distance vision had improved?!Hooray!But now I need reading glasses.Boo!Also have to pay for two subscriptions now!GGGaaaaahhhhh!!!!

As I went in I noticed a pal inside who was…[Read more]

Samit Patel is possibly the best source of anagrams of all time. Samit Patel is also an  an anagram of his real name, Liam Tapets.

Welsh Fire threw away winning positions in their last two matches, finishing with a 3-13 record. I threw away a winning position in Danger Above 7-2. We are soulmates.

As for Carbonite Melt, I think that was a culinary disaster on MasterChef.

Well my luvvies seems my Carbonite Meltdown yesterday did the the trick(more like a mild whinge than a Medvedev).Stormtrooper appeared this morning and given I only needed 3,000 pts even I couldn’t flub that one.

It seems Mr Bunny is already in training…https://youtu.be/dbc_CxwRTG0?si=_B-bvEt67dBYq98x

Carbonite Melt being very mean,it’s almost as if the game knows which characters I need and is witholding them.Surely Rovio wouldn’t do that?I even had a Hans Solo Carbonite…in the Melt…how is that even possible?

To more important matters hope all is well @honeybunny must be your operation soon.At least you know what to expect and hope Mr…[Read more]

To be fair he is built like a brick bungalow.If Sontarans played cricket it’d look like that.

You know I like an anagram so Samit Patel provided :

malt pastie

pitta meals

lam patties

meat pastil (desert obviously)

All served with Tamil paste.

For fans of The Simpsons there is Patti Selma

For fans of Baywatch there are Pamela Tits (Liam…[Read more]

No, I think YJB is red in the face with anger that Patel ate the lot.

To be fair to Jonny Bairstow I think he has been sharing the pies,with Samit Patel.

My son moved into his teenage years in Feb so getting used to an extra quotient of cheek.Lately whenever I ask him a question he says “I dunno Jeff.”

Obviously trending with his mates.So I asked if he knew where it came from and of course he said “I dunno Jeff”.So I played him this:https://youtu.be/McdjBaChdBA?si=DZlct07wRp5R6HPj
