HI
I am on there most days on the formula 1 forum, Trouble is there is a lot of idiots on there so its hard to have a decent topic without it getting dragged down to the level of some kids on there

I was reading the F1 forum this morning. The thread I read was about the individual drivers. It seemed OK, guess other threads not so good.
Some of the football comments are little biased towards their own team.
I mainly join in the golf chat. So far everyone on there seems OK.

You are, as ever, extremely helpful. However, there's a forum on your site that describes Curling at grass roots level. I don't think this would work as everyone knows Curling is done on ice; real or artificial.

Do you mean The ancient pastime of Toe Curling or Curling one off in the bog westers..?

Yeah the Boks batted well, still in with a chance though, Monty needs to pick up 4 or 5.

Monty will open the attack from the Eden Street End, with the wind behind him.

'Monty' i think you mean 'Morti' with the wind behind him.

The Eden street end has always been good for at least 2-3 an on special days up to 4 or 5, or even more.

takes a special bowler to get 5 in a day, but assisted especially with their quicker delivery it can be done.

One thing about the Eden street end, there are no wronguns, unless u want to turn into a flipper for the occasion stumping.

Excuse my ignorance - but which ground has the Eden Street end because they're at the Oval next, aren't they?

And who's going to be Captain?
