Maybe you can explain what that means to those of us who aren't all that familiar with cricket.
I'm not going to visit cander anytime soon.

Wales get nothing.
Shows the bias of a National Monarch/PM doesn't it?
If Scotland, Ireland or Wales win anything it's a quick handshake and "well done" from the secretary's office. If England win...PARADE TIME!
Why should it be different? :afrog:
Because fair is fair and they deserve the same recognition for their achievements
But scotland isnt really there its just a mistake on the map... as for wales well.... we KNOW that itsnt really there ;)
j/k :lol:
I dont quite agree, I dont feel the six nations is a big enough tournament to warrant OBE's especially as most of the teams are Brittish anyway, Im sure if Wales win the rugby WC they will get the honours they deserve. I do take your point about the cricket though, although I enjyed winning the ashes Im not sure it deserved the OBE's especially since it only involves one other country, I felt Liverpools Champions league feat was more deserving yet missed out on the honours.Quote:

Yet the team is called England. Kind of a kick in the teeth for Wales isn't it as it suggests Wales do not give enough input for the team to be England & Wales?
I doubt very much the celtic teams would ever get as much attention as England, after all those in power are all English (apart from the Queen who is of course German).
I agree however that Liverpool should have been in the honours list, that was dispicable and just goes to show that they are not consistent with the honours. They should be scrapped as they are vastly archaic
If they made rugby more boring (difficult but feasible) then it too would get lots more coverage, just like curling, bowls and darts (the 3 most sinfully suicide-inducing sports ever devised by mankind). I find cricket useful if I need to go to sleep in a hurry.
PS Formula 1 racing makes me fall asleep too but that is due to the engine sounds which I find highly soporific, although I enjoy the sport itself, especially when there is a big crash and someone in the crowd cops for a chunk of metal..
Any opinions on those televised Poker Tournaments?
Now you've got me started. The winter olympics was a complete sham. I wanted to see some action and excitement, namely the Snowboard half-pipe, ski-jump and snowboard cross. They showed each for about 15 minutes. Curling gets a whopping 2 hours each (men and women) just to see our teams get thrashed.
Show us the sports we wanted to see!!

Its going to be close I think
Close!?! You joking?
England are going to get thrashed at that rate.
My glass is half full ;)Quote:

I think your spectacles need checking sunshine because you obviously can't read the score properly. 136-1 suggests they are going to beat England by quite a bit
"Sunshine" :lol:Quote:

Nobody can understand a word John Prescott says, so he's probably Welsh. Or Scottish.
Who is on 1 and who is on 136 ? The 1 guys have a long way to go.Quote:

I take my thread back.

Yes, that devilfish guy really winds me up, he thinks he's dead hard but he has absolutely no personality whatsoever and he can't read and he's crap at poker and he smells and has a wig and he has really small eardrums.Quote:

No worries. You have NoteMe's shoulder to cry on.
That might change soon too. Don't want to give away details though, he'd need the information to be 'approved' first.
So, who won ? Did the 1 guys catch up with the other guys who were on 136 ?
