Thanks guys. Good haul of cricket-related pressies this morning too!

My regards to M.J.K. Prat and Y.E.T.A.N.O.T.H.E.R. Prat.

The bats man's Holding, the bowler's Willey.

Sounds like quite a predicament.

Good thing the Brits are renown for their stiff...upper lip.

So , Chickenboy, like how many more threads are you going to create from which I'm excluded? I'm not even playing against you and I'm being kept in the dark. And sir, would you be so kind , when you create yet ANOTHER "Steve keep out" thread, please do me the cortesey of putting it in the AAR section (where it belongs) so that several times a day when I look at the War room , yet again I'm kept from seeing THE NUMBER ONE THREAD!!!!!!

(Please insert sarcasm smiley here , whenever they get around to making one).

I've already started an AAR for our nacent game, gaijin. It's called 'liquidating the gaijin'. Just to be clear-you're the gaijin. I'm planning on liquidating you and everyone that looks like you.

Nothing personal.

Plan away, CB, plan away. And what should mine be, pray tell? "Plucking the chicken, choking the chicken,making the Chicken stew,frying the chicken,making a chicken sandwich, how to cook a chicken,deboning a chicken?", and of course the list goes on, and on and on.

Please keep in mind that Col. Sanders is one of my field commanders.

I have to be proficient with the L85, I've got some limited (unoficial) experience of handling a few other weapons like AKs and M16s but I'm nowhere near qualified to do even basic drills let alone fire them.

IIRC employers can't refuse to let me have time to vote during the working day. I've been off work for every election so far since I joined the RAF, I guess it would depend on how busy we were at work.

I was trained in the firing of the old SLR, 9mm Browning pistol, Sterling SMG, 40mm Bofors, Limbo ASW mortar, Polaris SLBM and SA80 rifle. In that order. Now I have one of these:
