Cricket, lovely cricket

Nimrod:

Well....Skype is cheap. So cheap actually that it's FREE!

Cheers,
Adam.

You interest me strangely, Galah. I'll look into it. But don't forget, GSTQ was meant to be a public rendition. I'm sure Monty for one would hate to miss out.

Best wishes,
Nimrod.

Nimrod:

I'm sure Monty would love to hear it, it'd be a welcome change from his usual playlist of Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys, Hanson, Milli Vanilli and so forth.

I'm sure we can figure out a way to record it but seeing as the bet was with you, you can be the first to hear it, Ste....er, Nimrod.

Cheers,
Adam.

I'd rather watch Mitchell Johnson try to bowl than listen to Adam Went.

Its bad enough reading his bollocks let alone hearing it too.

[Adam Went]

Looks like I just won $10 of that $20 back.....

Cheers,
Adam.

Congratulations Adam,

You are the first Australian to win anything off an Englishman for quite some time.

Your nation must be proud.

Was that Ian or Neil Bell who combined with Pietersoen for 350 today?

Don.

Plus, your dog is Canadian...[a]sk him to tell you all aboot it.

Linguistic aside: You know, I've visited, or lived in, every province and one territory in this fair land, and I've never heard a Canadian pronounce "about" as "aboot". Perhaps my fellow Canadians on this site can either confirm my statement or tell me where this strange word is spoken. (I'm guessing maybe Newfoundland but, despite the delightful local accent, I never actually heard it there.)

[Adam Went]

Supe:

There's a difference in shortarse Pommy cricketers. Some have got quality and some haven't. Unfortunately, quality doesn't run throughout the Bell family. In fact, Neil and "run" don't go together well at all, except on the toilet, which goes to prove that most of what he says is sh*t.

Cheers,
Adam.

Well, Maurice, I can only say that my TV heroes, the Trailer Park Boys (perhaps the funniest and most addictive comedy of all time) hail from Nova Scotia and actually do pronounce "about" as something in between "aboot" and "aberwt". Think of a posh English person saying "a boat", then move it halfway or more towards "aboot" and you have it.

Best wishes,
Steve.

Adam, a swear word, really, your boyfriend won't approve.

Go look at Bells record you, especially this summer. He is, on current form, by far the best left hander in the world. I can only assume your post was formed out of jealousy.

And the next one out of idiocy.

Says it all, really.

Umm....last time I checked, The Sherminator was a right handed bat?
Now Monty, I know you're not exactly Einstein's long lost twin, and that's fine, but SURELY you know the difference between left and right?

Meanwhile, Australia clinched the ODI series against Sri Lanka last night....

Cheers,
Adam.

[Steven Russell]

Galah:
You were right to castigate Monty for his inability to tell left from right but what have you got against the TPB? They are hilarious. That guy in "Kenny" was pretty good but he is the only funny Australian I have ever seen. Paul Hogan is on a par with Max Boyce i.e. absolutely appalling and not in the slightest bit funny. Drongos the pair of them.

Best wishes,
Nimrod.

PS Umm...last time I checked, The Sherminator was a right handed bat?

This is not a question. You Aussies make me ******* sick with your up at the end of a sentence bullshit. Stop pronouncing everything as if it was a question. We are quite capable of following your lines of reasoning and do not require that ridiculous upwards inflection at the end of every ******* sentence to check we are keeping up.

Best wishes?
Steve?

[Adam Went]

Nimrod:

I remember seeing several episodes of TPB some years ago and just couldn't understand what was supposed to be funny about it. Let's set a comedy amongst a bunch of bogans in a caravan park? Yeah, real original.

You're not familiar with Glenn Robbins and his various characters? Uncle Arthur, Russell Coight, etc? Or Hey Hey It's Saturday which has been on air since 1971? (Actually scratch that, only Australians would get the humour in that.)

Chris Lilley? Hamish & Andy? Dame Edna, of course.....

As for Hoags....BLASPHEMY!!! The man deserves a knighthood.

Cheers,
Adam.

No way. Les Patterson maybe.
