Unless they're playing twice (excuse me while i change the channel to check that!) i think i saw it finish earlier.

Continue thinking it's live.

Ah, I guess the live AFL earlier must've pushed things back. They just advertised that we've got Punjab vs Kolkata coming up later. Are you watching that now?

Hey Ian, you'd love one of the ads being over-played tonight (twice in this ad break that's had four ads so far!), for an art gallery doing an exhibition titled The Art Of The Simpsons. My favourite is how the guy doing the ad really mustn't know much about the Simpsons, as he mentions the art contains "Homer, Marge, and the family", skipping Bart before going on to name minor characters ...

Does he mention Kearney and Dolph?

I wasn't but i've switched to it now

 

[Axver]

No, not quite that bad. But he names people like Smithers and Moe. Now, they may be fairly prominent, but they aren't Bart!

 

[liamcool]

AX!

LA got ACOS VII!

Hey, Ali, another "any idea what I'm looking at here?" photograph!

Ah, late night advertising. You get what you pay for.

 

[Alisaura]

Want to talk about rocks, eh? What if we made a cricket ball out of rocks?

That wouldn't make cricket as interesting as land mines would, but not a bad start

 

[coolian2]

I think i'm going to have to make a serious attempt at sleep. Goodnight all!

 

[Axver]

Oh, FUCK THEM.

 

[Axver]

Yeah. The phone line with the hot chick rather than the greasy old man is going to be $395 a minute, not $3.95 a minute.

With that thought, g'night Ian.

Erk. That looks like Southbank or somewhere around there, but I've no idea what that building's called.

What if every delivery featured a new rock? You can have fun IDing each rock while those of us with good sporting taste can enjoy the game itself.

G'night, Ian. I think I'm gonna do the same thing soon...

 

[Axver]

Heh, OK. Guess I'll just caption it with something about looking down Market Street towards the Railway Viaduct and King's Bridge, with Southbank in the background ...

How the hell would I identify it at the speed they bowl/hit those things?
We'd have to invent a new method of identifying rocks, by how they interact with cricket bats at high speed. Or people, if we're (un)lucky...

"Okay, that one made a dull 'clunk', and sharp bits flew off into the batsman's eyes... it's either dolerite or schist, let's see how it bounces...."

 

[liamcool]

One of these days I'm going to cut all of you fuckers into little pieces.

My brain wants to say "Price Waterhouse", but I dunno if the name I keep seeing on the way to work is attached to that bldg or not. I'll take a look on Monday, if I remember.

 

[Alisaura]

One of these days I'm going to cut all of you fuckers into little pieces.

And a merry christmas to you too.

Yeah, forget the sound of leather on willow. The sound of granite connecting with a metal helmet is so much more 21st century.

Would you like to say something before you leave? Perhaps you'd care to state exactly how you feel ...?

 

[liamcool]

Not a Floydian?

 

[Alisaura]

"Teenagers scare, the living shit out of me..."

 

[Alisaura]

Not a Floydian?

Not enough of one to recognise that, apparently

 

[Axver]

Hey Liam, just checked the LA set. Sure, they got ACOS VII in a medley, but they got subjected to all of The Ministry Of Lost Souls.

LA = OWNED.

If I were a swan, I'd be gone.

 

[Axver]

HOLY SHIT, WHAT A CATCH BY WASIM JAFFER TO DISMISS GILCHRIST!

 

[Axver]

If I were a swan, I'd be gone.

Wasting away the moments that make up a dull day?

 

[Axver]

By the way, Liam, I Fall Down / Summer '68 (snippet) would be awesome.

 

[Axver]

Haha, these Indian stadiums are proving to be farcical. A light tower has gone out for the second time this tournament!
