Has anyone got that a link to the classic Gas video where the chap is saying they are the 5th richest club please?

No, but this one is always worth revisiting on a regular basis:

From my recollection it was the one up by BAC/Rollls Royce factories on the main road near the roundabout.

Shame, as the (W)Anchor would have been quite apt.

Talking about pubs..... what was the one out at Filton that had a bit of a City/Sags history?

Was it the (W)Anchor?

Bloody hell, Leachy. Jimmy was on for a 50 there if only you could have stuck around.

I can see India getting 400 plus on this track.

I missed that - what is the difference?

I know there’s a difference between a Kookaburra and a Duke but surely  a cricket ball of the same makes is a cricket ball and colour irrelevant? 

I caught a bit of this. Something to do with different coating on the pink ball and the amount of time it stays quite shiny, making it skid on quite a lot when the shiny part rather than the seam hits the ground.

Embarrassing batting performance on an embarrassing pitch.

On the plus side, they couldn't get Broad out.

Just use your ******* feet at the start, ffs.

FFS. Here we go...

Well hopefully they will be all out in a second but yeh still tough.

I'd be tempted to put Stokes at the top of the order to try and smash it around a bit.

Silently celebrating on work calls this morning! At least it might not be as one sided as we all thought!

Hopefully not. Still a bit worried about us being 3 or 4 wickets down before we even get past their total, regardless of whether they post a lead of 30, 40, 50 or more.

Review that knobhead

Bit harsh, fella...

oh, you mean the umpire.

Was just about to type that I thought Virat would be going massive in this innings. And then he chopped on

it really should require at least 2 camera angles on all checks.

Yes, that would seem right enough in the interests of fairness. Something for the powers-that-be to closely look at. Hopefully Root will ask for some clarity.

2 minutes ago, Lrrr said:

Yeah I had no objection to the decision but only checking from one angle before giving it seemed such a poor decision, how many angles did they have for indian decisions? Weird how they've suddenly got a crystal clear image when it benefits an Indian player

That decision only really needed one angle. I reckon the Leach decision needed several angles, but can't really argue with that decision, either.

England bowlers looking tight but not particularly dangerous.

Fingers under the ball there?

Looked like it hit the ground to me.

Well done Joey , keep it up fella. 

What a **** he is. 

He's definitely found his spiritual home.

Hope you can get through this. Thoughts are with you both.

I have to confess I did!

Sad I know...

For the record in my original post wasn't referring to Top Cat btw.

 

I know, mate.
It just came into my head for some reason - started drinking early today
Had to copy and paste the words, mind. Far too long ago to remember.

Of course it always ends in tears. My wife was recently reminding me that at the end I was calling for TC to go.

Can't believe you wanted to get rid of TC.

Surely you can't mean Top Cat:

Top Cat!
The most effectual!
Top Cat!
Who's intellectual!
Close friends get to call him "T.C.,"
Providing it's with dignity!

Top Cat!
The indisputable leader of the gang.
He's the boss, he's a VIP, he's a championship.
He's the most tip top,
Top Cat.

I am sorting out her UK pension etc. Her death cert arrived today and made me think that 91 years of life gets summarized onto an A4 piece of paper. Made me sad I must admit.

It's a horrible thing to go through.
Deepest sympathy to you @BigTone.
Stay strong, fella.
