    I can’t be the only one….

    You're not, i'm a die hard Star Wars fan?

    Finding these series great and very intriguing but having to ask my sons about certain things.

    Love the space whales in this

  2. Enjoy?

     

    Meet the Millwall fans in this picture. Because I know you want to know who they are. Allow me to introduce you. ??Image
    Colin, 52. Started going to Millwall a few years ago as part of a midlife crisis. Doesn't know what he fears most between His wife and privately-educated kids finding out he goes Millwall or his fellow fans finding out he runs a vegan cafe and bookshop and votes Green Party.Image
    Big Den, 51. Cheeky chappie London cab driver. Heart of gold, do anything for anyone, never pushes in the Kings Cross rank because it's against the code. Thinks the channel migrants should be rounded up and gassed.Image
    Carl 37. Once pushed an away fan outside the tube station before ducking behind his mate. Still spins it down the boozer that he wrote off half of Charlton's mob forgetting that everyone he's telling the story to was there and saw it all. Hasn't had a real punch up since year 7Image
    Pete 52. Quietly fancies himself the top lad. Jokes that his best days are behind him. Shadow boxes in the mirror before setting off to the game. Thickens his cockney accent at weekends to hide the fact that he's a deputy headteacher at a prep school. Divorced.Image
    Maurice 57. Mysterious and vaguely threatening quiet man. Rumours among the lads that he's an armed blagger who was best mates with the Krays and did 30 years in Belmarsh. He allows them to think this.

    Only conviction was for non payment of TV Licence Lives with his elderly mum.Image
    Ronnie, 58. He actually tells people he was an armed blagger and did 30 years in Belmarsh and was best mates with Reggie Kray.

    Train cleaner at a TFL depot. Suspended sentence for voyeurism.Image
    Derek 61. Retired plumber. Fancies himself a man of the world. Has a story from every country you've been to. Books him and the wife into the same self-catering apartment in Benidorm EVERY year.. Sings"Dirty Old Town" on karaoke every chance he gets.Image

    Yes I’ve heard that said a number of times. We’ll have to wait to find out and it would be great to have another Kiesy v Buttler situation but I think we should wait and see first.

    Its not unheard of for a top sportsman to say he has a more talented sibling that hasn’t made it for whatever reason.

    I’m just waiting for the next Hundred withdrawal and Rew to get called up. I know he’s not the biggest hitter out there but there’s nobody in better form and he’s certainly no slouch. 

    I've stood in games with both of them playing for Kings and Taunton St Andrews.

    It's fantastic watching close up, one game last season, Tom came up to his capt at the end of the over and said 'i can reverse sweep this bowler over the pavilion' capt says 'just play sensibly'  no guessing what happened next ball?

  4. Any train strike gurus on here?

    I have hospitality booked for the One Day Cup on Friday, which is a strike day.

    Am I just better off forgetting the trains on Friday or is there a chance there'll be a train there and back?

     

     

    BTW i'm also a trade union member for nearly 40yrs, I have no issue with the strikes.

    Rew to the rescue, he’s Somerset’s equivalent of Alex Scott.

    Rew is a few months younger and probably won’t get transferred for £25m but is certainly on his way to the top. 

    His younger brother is better and is also a wicket keeper, which i can see causing Somerset an issue in a few years time.

    Getting fed up with the inane, yank inspired, moronic shout outs after every tee shot.

    Watching PGA events as a kid and hearing the occasional "you the man!" was a novelty. Hearing dipshits screaming out meaningless phrases after every tee shot has to stop.

    As shooter once said " damn you people... this is golf. Not a rock concert. Get back to your shanties"

    'mashed potato' 'beans on toast' I heard yesterday wtf?

    Anybody on here clued up on the Somerset 2nds?

    In the current game v Hants I see Ben Green got a ton, unlucky not to have played in the first team this season I think. Also the forgotten man Lewis Goldsworthy got 95.

    But what I want to know is who is the H Passenger who got 4 wickets, when Ogborne and Leonard got none?

    And I don’t remember seeing Michael Vaughan’s boy Archie playing any second 11 this season, anyone know how he’s doing? 

    Never mind about Archie, his dad is playing for Claverham CC today?

    Cheers for that. Ah spin, that’s why he was so successful when the more experienced seamers were wicket less.

    One to watch out for, must be young as he’s batting 11 as an all rounder. Wicket less in the second innings as are the seamers but 3 for Goldsworthy 

    Ollie Heard is another one in that team at the moment, very capable bowler when he gets his radar on, hopefully that'll come soon. I've been in games where he's bowled 10+ ball overs!!

    Harry Passenger, just left Kings in Taunton, all rounder who bowls spin.
