i find i can deal with heat now if i have to , but only cos a i dropped a shit load of weight. otherwise i would be half dead
I can handle the heat, it's more tolerable than in Queensland, but fuck I hate it.
Wish my hair were shorter too. I keep meaning to get it cut. I would've done it today but there was no way I was spending a second longer away from home than I had to. I just wanted my fan and a cold drink!

Oh Channel 9. Let's put cameras and microphones in the team dressing rooms and hope they don't swear. Fail.

I loved when they had Andrew Symonds mic-ed up during the Twenty20 game in Perth against New Zealand. He was talking to the commentators before bowling to Oram, and remarks "excuse me, I've got to bowl this big bastard - wait, can I say that?" Turned out they just made it. It was 11:01pm on the east coast, and 9:01pm in Perth; a minute earlier and it wouldn't have been permitted!

Made of win! Man, that's one of the few things I love about Twenty20 - the fun factor. Once they made it serious, it just became meh.

I don't get this forum's hate for One Step Closer. It's one of the few U2 songs from this decade that I really quite like.
I can't decide if I dislike ABOY or Yahweh more. What irks me about ABOY is that the alternate version had much better lyrics but Bono just had to dumb it down for the album. Ugh.

Hey, it means that the meteorology guy that I quoted earlier was right!
Also, a serious and deep confession for you all: I've done something that I'd never done until I did it just then.
I made scrambled eggs for the first time.
major_panic said:
Yeah, the fun factor is what made me warm up to Twenty20. It'll never rival ODIs or Tests, but I still enjoy watching it and I'm looking forward to the IPL. Though the IPL's team names are just STUPID. Delhi Daredevils? Bangalore Royal Challengers? Chennai Super Kings? MUMBAI INDIANS?!

ABOY is a lame-ish attempt to be the Who. I like the idea behind Yahweh, but the execution is very lacking.

You can't fault them - English isn't their first language by a long way.
Although "Mumbai Indians" is made of SuperWin, I must say. Is their mascot's name Captain Obvious?
major_panic said:
I know the live version is irrelevant to Survivor, being based on studio versions only and whatnot, but UGH, ABOY SUCKED LIVE. Bono's delivery was lacklustre, and having just one guitar made it even more dull. I don't normally go for covers, but replacing ABOY with Saints down here was a good move.
The idea behind Yahweh just seems like rehashing Gloria for no good reason. And the execution is abysmal; the intro on the album version sounds like dogshit! The alternate version is a little better in that regard, but ... meh, what a dull song.

Probably broke the record for most runs they've ever strung together despite their team being composed of those despicable white men, when we all know that cricket in Zimbabwe should be played by the glorious blacks, grandchildren of Mugabe.

I'm intrigued now. Which version of Saints do you think is the best?
Personally, I liked the full live one with Green Day - the sound of two drumkits makes the song good. Larry on his own, really sucks on that song.

yahweh leaves alot to be desired, i love ABOY its just funky. i wonder if LAPOE will go for the win ?
major_panic said:
Why do they even have to give their teams English names though? I mean, it's India! The main market is the domestic market! Oh well. And honestly, I've never met an Indian whose English is anything less than impeccable. It turns out the Bangalore Royal Challengers are named after their sponsor. Quoth Wikipedia:
I've no idea who I'll support yet ... maybe the Mumbai Indians for their total stating-the-obviousness.
major_panic said:
Oh, I thought all the versions on the fifth leg were a much of a muchness, and a big improvement on ABOY, which nearly put me to sleep in Boston with its lacklustreness.
I never listened to any version featuring Green Day, including the studio version. I fucking hate Green Day.

LAPOE's probably the better of that or COBL, going by studio versions alone. Live, I'd say COBL. I mean, you can actually hear Larry attempting to give a damn on studio LAPOE!!
