Was that Gaz or Daz Mills!?! Bathstoke and Chugga, is that the same Gaz and Daz mills that used to drink in the Holden bridge and around Milton in the 90s and call everyone they met 'murph'? If so, legends! WHAT???!!! I think I might sue.....

Yes, but were you in the SLIPS??? I still don't know what it means....... (As in ' Get in the slips! Get in the slips!' - 'WHAT ???????') The slip cordon is the group of fielders standing in an arc or staggered formation to the right and usually behind the wicket keeper ( to the left if a left handed batsmen is facing the bowling ) as this picture illustrates ....there are nine fielders in the slips. In this picture ....definately not the usual number , most commonly up to three sometimes four ....does that explain things for you murph ? Perfectly! Thank you, maestro! I should perhaps add that in response to my 'WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?????' the Scoutmaster ( who 'lacked a certain je ne sais quoi') just yelled 'Oh, just stand over THERE' - with a wild waving of his arm. And that was my first, and last, run-in with cricket!

I say! Steady on, Generalissimo..... we don't want any encouragement of fisticuffs on 'ere....... that rowdy stuff's reserved for the other side, innit? Not fisticuffs murph ....chin music is fast short pitched bowling aimed at the batsmans head .... Oh! I naturally assumed it was parlance for punching someone on the chin..... a bit like a Glasgow kiss, but far more up-market as wearing whites would be involved..... Now I feel REALLY silly......

Anybody ever used these instead of a skip? Down here the cost of skip hire is astronomical, typically around £150 for a small 2 cubic meter skip and the cost depends on supply and demand for them so can be higher. Hippo are currently doing a deal which is around half the cost of a skip. Need one to clear building debris from bathroom project so it will be old tiles, bit of plaster board, floor covering, toilet and cystern and wash basin. No bath as it's currently a wet room to be converted. Any advice/ recommendations welcome. I would dispose of it myself down local tip but they charge £3.50 a 20kg bag for tiles, old plaster and building rubble. I have around 24 square meters of old tiles to dispose of so that would be very expensive way to do it. Never heard of them, Lawrie, but if you register with your local Freecycle website you often see people advertising quantities of this sort of stuff as up for grabs or wanted as hardcore/fill-in material; I gather you just have to advertise that anyone wanting it should collect it from you, come in a suitable vehicle and load it themselves, etc.

/\/\/\/\/\/\ - NEWSFLASH - \/\/\/\/\/\/MIDNIGHT BREAK-IN AT AUSTRALIAN HIGH COMMISSION We are receiving reports that during the night the Australian High Commission's plush premises at Australia House in London's Strand were broken into and a pad of blank 'Visa Authorised' forms taken. A pencil and eraser are also missing, although the forms' rubber stamp and ink pad were left intact. Police are said to be baffled by a trail of stud marks across the floor, and forensic experts are currently working on the only evidence found, namely a number of discarded well-gnawed orange segments. Anyone able to help with the investigation is requested to telephone Whitehall 1212. - Reuters. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ - NEWSFLASH - UPDATE - \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/Sources at the Australian High Commission in London have today revealed, in a confidential update to our Chief Correspondent (Crime News Desk), that one of the Visa forms from the batch in question has now been submitted for requested entry into Australia. The Australian Border Police have recommended 'sham authorisation' of the application, and will be waiting at the airport. - Reuters.

Ye Gods………….. (head in hands). I give up. I really do. When will these thickos (the woman, I mean) ever learn? It's usually Masai warriors or Caribbean beach boys they go for, isn't it……???? Er…… that is, before the women marry them, spend all their money on them, and it all goes pear-shaped…… So just imagine the next standard chapter in the saga - she and all her family whinge loud enough and play the bloody 'Human Rights' card long enough to get the pair of them allowed into the country (*)….. after which….. me-laddo suddenly 'can't settle' and ups and offs…… no doubt into the arms of a younger bimbo-dimbo (yes - I DID say that) - and she's left on her tod…… and she's 'devastated' because 'they were so much in love and it was going to be for EVER…….' - and she had 'given up everything for him……' Flamin' Nora.(*) Please, please, UK immigration people, PLEASE - resist!
