The text on this screen is like an unreleased Fall song.
I'm enjoying reading it in Mark E Smith's voice.

I don't understand what is written on the screen in this photo, but it gives me life. Is it Dostoevsky?

It would be even funnier if, one glorious day, their incessant, inane, witless, self-involved mooing was silenced by a grand piano falling out of an overflying cargo aircraft, but it's something.
The Barmy Army spending longer in a plane to watch the first test than they did actually watching the first test will never not be funny

Five ways for England to claw something back;
Deport Zac Crawley
Deport The Barmy Army
Play Test Cricket
Don't allow people called Olly near cricket bats. (The Ollying of English test cricket has had a lasting negative effect, not least on me).
Grow mustaches pronto.

Another awful thing about this terrible *cricket* day. Is that I find myself agreeing with everything Michael Vaughan has said. A bleak realisation.

Frankly, I think the whole England team should be interred once they return.

I guess the positive of the stupid second batting innings by Stokes and co, is that we surely must be nearing the end of the 'Zac Crawley Experiment'. Surely...surely...

I know the BBC are preoccupied, but I've recieved no reply re my complaint about how incompetent the Red Team were on Bargain Hunt (October 26th broadcast). And how they didn't even appear to be taking the game remotely seriously.

Re last post about ISB Likky. It's a grim Mail gutter piece. I'm glad she's alive, but she clearly doesn't want to be tracked down by tabloids, who's only agenda is mocking women who age.

Amused by the seriousness afforded to John Cale's collab with pop queen Charli XCX. You can fool some of the people all the time etc.
