You missed some beautiful stroke play and some awesome bowling. 😀

FMF you missed a peach of a game, Rajastan Royals made 185 with Watson making a 101 I think and Chennai super Kings chased it down with a last over finish, Hussey Scoring 88 and Suresh Raina 50 something, what a match. Pure drama!

Personally, I prefer a quick 18 on a Scottish links, rounded off with a nice nip of Bells.

No. I think that ship has sailed. But to be honest, I think it was chugging off over the horizon before we even reached the port. Bon voyage mes amis.

Now, now.

I am taking my Dad and Mum to a T20 game at Lords for my Dad's eightieth birthday.

We may even have a Pimms. But crushed ice?

Dearie me, no, no, no.

Your "Just because you did not use those exact words doesn't mean I can't understand the intended sentiment" straw man doesn't work with me, either, and I'd say it sells the discussion we've had short. 😀

Oh no. You've said "strawman" in the Sports forum. No you're right. My mistake. You're one of the 'White Mischief' girls.

I once took a young lady i was dating to the Grosvenor hotel in Glasgow so we could
have a drink in the foyer, i order two Pimms with crushed ice and lemonade, it cost like
a tenner a glass or something outrageous like that, I was somewhat annoyed when
afterwards she stated that the alcohol had little affect on her, I suggested drinking it
with a straw next time! 😵

It's been interesting to see how personally you and robbie have taken this difference of opinions, especially robbie. I don't quite understand why it has to be like this. 🙂

That'll learn you for not sticking to the tried and tested method of a couple of bottles of Bucky, then back to your place for a Rumbledethumps or, if you are feeling generously disposed, a full Munchybox.

(Hoping, of course, that she doesn't suggest a Clapshot the next day.)

I don't take things personally. I just like to say stupid things . The big man is at the crease. It's a Yes Bank maximum. Six over cover.

Quickest century in IPL ( possibly T20 ) history... 102 off 30... the last six ( 112m ) knocked bits off the roof of the stand.
