The Culture Cup Round x - Adam is a naughty naughty boy

First topic message reminder :

We've all missed Tino this week. Everyone has said so, and I'd be putting this on record even if it weren't the thread split post. No, I would be, honestly.

Robert Peel?

Peelers.  Met police.  Emergency.  

Never heard of that. Babylon, Five-0, Filth, Pigs etc. Not Peelers

That's because you wasted your expensive education.

Listen at school, kids. Listen at school.

Hard to listen with a hampton in each ear.

Actually first heard the term a few weeks ago in relation to a bird. Terrific stuff.

Nope, same era though. I believe for a time he was the only bowler to dismiss Sachin Tendulkar twice in the same test match.

Henry Olonga?

No, we've only ever had one proper black man play for us. He filled in one game. He was rubbish at cricket but went on to play rugby for England.

His uncle was a famous golfer (the bowler not the black man).

Eddo Brandes?

Nope

I give up. Can't get it without cheating.

There was a Chubby zim off spinner a few years back. His name escapes me, but I believe he had a decent record

Mr Raymond Price. He was pretty sh!t for us. Remember playing in London and one of their Indians put him over a 40ft fence and into the sun roof of an E-Type jag cruising round the south circular.

His uncle was Nick Price the golfer

Not yet 10am and the thread has been michaelsed. Unbelievable.

No Cane this morning, does this mean TIMC has finally decided to drop the sprog?

I reckon so.

He'll be on here soon moaning about imaginary early nights and imaginary nappy changes. No way has that man got a real live wife.

There is deliberate michaelisation going on now.

That was an interesting anecdote involving 2 international superstars.

It was something to do with golf and cricket. I bailed out early on.

i don't know much about tennis. I have week wrists so showed distain for the sport growing up. There is a bird who I like at the tennis club next to our cricket club. Lovely long legs and long flowing blonde hair.

There isn't, and it wasn't.

A few of us decamped to a different website to get away from you. We are back though.

Any celebrity sh*gging stories to keep us entertained?

So remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone,
be someone,
be someone

They all come back...... I have it on good authority Beckham was rutting Alexa Chung whilst Alex Turner was supposed to be seeing to her.

I only knew it from a Philip Roth book. The Plot against America. Cracking book.

Never heard of Lindbergh prior to that.
