That songs makes me think of swaying away at my mates’ wedding at the hotel in Dornie where the bride worked, two in the morning, more whisky than is sensible and having a brilliant time

No such thing as having more whisky than is sensible, you merely had an ‘ample sufficiency’.

Luke Jacobsen out of the Kiwi World Cup squad with a concussion he picked up against Tonga, but which didn’t manifest until they arrived in Japan. Great shame for a guy who can cover the back row, but in Shannon Fritzell, his replacement, they’ve got a guy who can go full tilt for the full 80 minutes.
It is so cruel to miss out at such a late stage – really hope we don’t see too many others ruled out like this.

6 runs off the 1st over of the day! Buttler let’s ‘im ‘ave it, as they’ve never said in Putsonderwater! Mainly because it’s an abandoned town in the Karoo.
The Leach does the same from the other end! Munches Marsh through the on side!

And it’s all over. Pretty brutal in the end. Cummins gets Buttler to try a heave, but he chops on, and Leach then plays on at the other end to gift Marsh a Michelle. At least Broad won’t be too tired to bowl afet only batting for an over and a bit.

Ticht, that is very clever! A couple of years ago a share trader here was fined for trading a share belonging to an allegedly corrupt family with allegedly corrupt ties to the president. He traded small amounts to make the pattern into a middle finger:

There’ve been at least hundred Korean films with ultraviolence+ boobs this century, Deebs, so you’re assertion is nonsense.
