He did. I hit rewind on foxtel. He used ghetto as a quantative.

Wow, I tried rewinding too, but mine stopped at -3. He's actually an Aussie too...played for Sth Australia, then went on a rebel tour to Sth Africa in the mid-80s and stayed.

92.5 overs.

Lead up being talk re field placings. Holding was talking about moving a man from deep square up and having a third slip. Holding stated that he hated gaps in the field and batsmen (note not batter) being able to chase it down to third man.
This was followed with "there were never any gaps in that area when you were bowling, Mikey. There was a ghetto of slips".

I must have been in the room and tuned out, coz I heard all of that pre-amble. Oh well. Good thing we weren't playing Israel.

Hi Haynzy

The home recording studio is almost complete.
We just need to set up all the fiberglass acoustic panels (we've got 15 of them) and score a few more mics and various plug-ins and we're done for now.

Thanks to supporters providing gifts this is what we now got (most of it has come together in less than 16 months) .....

4 for 331

 

[Casper The Ghost]

Looks like your followers have been busy jumping through windows, Casper.

When is the apocalyptic concert?

Naaaahhhh, we're waiting for the merkins concert so we can put shit on you.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I left Anal merkin years ago. I've gone solo.

 

[Casper The Ghost]

That's a formidable set up Caper.

We're going to need much more than that if we're gonna have the firepower to put merkins like Poo Poo in their place. :lol::lol:

 

[Casper The Ghost]

I left Anal merkin years ago. I've gone solo.

That explains it. Was addressing Merkin's Anal first album.
Apparently fans don't throw nickers on stage, they throw lumps of shit instead.

 

[Casper The Ghost]

I can lend you an old Fostex X15 if you like Casper. And maybe an '86 Japanese Fender Tele if you want a sound that doesn't quite sound right. I have '91 Maton CW80 as well, but you're not having that.

Is this the remains of the original Poo Poo Fighters set up before they made it big?
Very impressive Barry.
OK, send us the 86 Fender Tele, will use it to write songs for Marilyn Manson.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I've got a GarageBand app if that is of use to anyone...

 

[Twizzle]

super Mitch

 

[hineyrulz]

In the Mo we trust.

 

[The Elephant In The room]

In the Mo we trust.

Yeah yeah.

[hineyrulz]

Yeah yeah.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/player/6525.html

Hey man thats my line!!!

 

[lingard]

If the opposition disagrees with a policy that enough voters support then it will hurt the party.

That's how democracy works.

That's how democracy is abused.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

That's not the only way.

 

[Kornstar]

That's a formidable set up Caper.

We're going to need much more than that if we're gonna have the firepower to put merkins like Poo Poo in their place. :lol::lol:

You got it all for free?

 

[Twizzle]

looks like RSA have engaged Tuffers as their new fielding coach
