Eddie got a reaction from Carnero in Derbyshire CCC - Mickey Arthur Appointed
Cricket, to me, is a game played over 4 or 5 days. I tolerate the 'electric rounders' stuff, but if that's all we have, I will walk away.

They will have a big fight on their hands. Will lose most of the traditional cricket fans with more of this nonsense

I got pinged a couple of times recently - both probably from cricket. Negative in both instances. Also keeping my end up as a non-covidian.

The hundred is a money-making cricket abortion.

Yep. Two balls in succession from the duck pond end, both off a good length, one went at ankle height and the other took off.

Between Tom Wood’s inhaler and Mattie McKiernan’s tape, I wouldn’t be surprised if Mickey Arthur has held a meeting regarding accountability and making sure absolutely everything is as it should be.

Yep.
Apparently (according to Sue, listening to the announcements on YouTube) the outfield is so squidgy, they can't use the super-sopper to remove the water from the covers.
Needless to say, we're at home waiting for developments.

I used to love the the JPL used to sneak in through the railings on the racecourse,I was about 7 when I first started going down (1972). Unfortunately they’d have to be about 5 railings missing now for me to sneak in so I’m now a member

Eddie got a reaction from TimRam in Watchable telly
'Black Mirror' on Netflix.
I've watched the first half a dozen episodes/stories so far, and this stuff is right up my street. It definitely has a 'Twilight Zone' feel to it.

Eddie got a reaction from angieram in The Oldies "I remember when" thread
The first 40 overs a side cricket matches shown on Sunday afternoons on BBC2, with the wonderful John Arlott commentating.
It featured individual counties playing a select XI called The International Cavaliers. I think it started in 1965 and ran through to 1968, and was the forerunner to the John Player League which started the following year.
Games could not start before 2:00 pm, and were supposed to be completed before the bells rang for evening church services.
It was the only professional cricket on Sundays (county matches were 3 days, and Sunday was a rest day in Test Matches).

I remember when we thought that the summer of 1976 was hot.

Eddie got a reaction from I know nothing in Beer Thread
No offence taken.
There are just 13 Trappist breweries, and only 10 of those are currently permitted to display the 'ATP' (Authentic Trappist Product) logo...
Westmalle (Belgium) Westvleteren (Belgium) Chimay (Belgium) Rochefort (Belgium) Orval (Belgium) La Trappe (Netherlands) Zundert (Netherlands) Engelszell (Austria) Tre Fontane (Italy) Mount St Bernard (England) The 3 not permitted to display the logo are...
Mont Des Cats (France) Cardeña (Spain) Achel (Belgium) This is because monks are not directly involved in the brewing process - instead, a local brewery brews the beer for them within the confines of the monastery.
Until a couple of months ago, Spencer Monastery in the USA was also an authentic Trappist brewery, but it has now closed. Unfortunately, Americans seem content with bloody Budweiser.

Eddie got a reaction from The Scarlet Pimpernel in Matchday Thread - Derby County v Barnsley (13/08 15:00)
Perhaps Rosenior's opinion really is that Korey Smith IS one of the best midfielders in the league, and that a run-out when we are ahead, and finishing on the winning side, will be a boost to his confidence?

It must seriously screw with your head, Mr Negative, whenever Derby win.
