Well tis only a maybe that its on sky. Ah one thinks C83 will be here soon. Most likely he will sort out the score. Now lets talk about something useful to know. Which is the best section in the armed forces, the British Army, Royal Navy or Royal Air force?
Also why?

One thinks the British Army is the better one. After all we have the finest special forces in the world. The RN and RAF are better than any other countries, but because of the SAS and Guards regtiment the British Army is truely spiffing.

I had forgotten about the SAS. One of the teachers at my school is ex SAS apparently. He certainly ahs the bearing of a military man but whether or not he was actually in the SAS is debateable. Regardless cracking teacher and brilliant musician.

No sooner asked, than delivered.
Fourth Test, Johannesburg
End of Day 4
England 411-8 dec & 197-5
South Africa 419
Day four started off well, for the tourists, with the last two south african wickets falling, to leave them at 419 all out. A lead of only 8 runs.
However, when England returned to the crease, Andrew Strauss' form deserted him. He was out for a duck, leaving England 2-1. Rob Key (19) helped guide the score past 50, before he left as well. Michael Vaughan came to England's aid once again, posting a score of 54, to lead us to 175-3. However, England's middle order collapsed once more. Thorpe (1) and Flintoff (7) both fell in quick succession, to leave England precariously perched at 197-5 at stumps.
Marcus Trescothick (101*) was the hero of the day. His accomplished century steadied the ship and gave England a glimmer of a potential victory on the final day, tomorrow. He was accompanied by Gerraint Jones (1*) when the covers came on for the night.
He said: "We'd like to get up to 300, but we'll have to judge it on the weather conditions on Monday morning."
There is still a chance of a victory for either side tomorrow, but the weather may still play a great part in this drama of a test match.
Naturally, One would extend the hand of friendship and welcome former VEP members LeapOfFaith and Etonboy back into the fold.
Happy birthday, Manic. Don't do anything that one would not. (Though one would advise an ice pack for one's ring sting tomorrow, if you are having a curry.)

have had the curry and had a vindaloo so one has an ice pack on standby and will probably not be going to school tommorow.

Excellent. ColdstreamCooper has advised one to place one's toilet roll in the fridge, for extra comfort.

One did have such experiences at University. One would never like to experience them again, mainly because I may have to pay a large plumbing bill to replace a cracked pan. The heat was intense
One was informed of this place this morning and ones been wanting a few drinking partners for a while now.
Care for a cherry anyone, and if ones aloud to join, one would bring the biggest bottle of Brandy one could lay his hands on.
Toodle pip.

One was not reffering to on the way in (Lager does the trick there!) but on the way out is a lot worse. One would not assume you will be doing much walking tomorrow.

One should think so. Though, like myself, you shall learn the hard way.
Oh dear chaps it looks like our fellow manic_streetpreacher has been banned! He informed me and asked if one could inform the club. My job is done.

One believes that acording to Terry Pratchett (a mane with an O.B.E dontcherknow) "vindalo" means "mouth scalding gristle for matcho forighin(s.p?) idiots" in the Klatchian native speak.
You have been warned.

Oh, one wishes one would of had this warning before hand. One knows a bit about Pratchett, but not a lot. One has not really found a writer that one really likes.

Ah. Makes you think why do that after all. Anyway going outside the law is very un-English, unless you count Jack the ripper and some or insane English people.
