It's not 'Send', it's the 'Culture Cup', stupid.

First topic message reminder :

Thread split! I feel a whole lot better!

Yeah we got the run of the ball a bit in that game and the result flattered us, some bizarre tries...

Not bad, bit grey and wet and spent most of the weekend moving house for my mother, but thankfully a few mates rocked up, so, many hands and all that.

We have a lot of festive markets on at this time of year with nice food and decent beer, so may pop down to that today at some point.

I'm not Jana Novotna.

Tragic. I had no idea she was ill.

Yeah maybe so but only the Wallabies are to blame... how they managed to fall apart at the end is a big worry. They'll lose to Scotland I believe.

My Mum's moving out too next year. Auction date set. Brought a few loads of things over to Chez Chien on the weekend too.

Was quite a shocker. That's two deaths I've learned about on this thread so far today.

That last michaelsing has made me very proud.

A long long time ago
I can still remember how
Galted used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make Shah and rick dance
And maybe TLD'd be happy for a while

But November made me shiver
With every post that I'd deliver
Bad news on this list
I couldn't see one more 'fist'

I can't remember if I cried
When I read a final 'yay' and sighed
Something touched me deep inside
The day the CC died

Probably sean sticking his finger up your bum.

If that had been the last ever CC post it would have been an excellent way to end but I guess I've gone and f*cked that up.

We've got to weather these doldrums together.

Surely we'll look back on this in future times as the darkest pages in the history of the CC.

These dark days make the nights seem brighter than they are
So while fleet street rolls and the moon glows
In the fun house the fun starts…

Don't tell me you sleep with the bedside lamp on?

Good morning.

How can I be sure

I think Galted was Rodney Bewes.

No. I'm over here.

Thank goodness.
I saw the shrimp's response on the political thread after the other bloke dobbed you in.
You are essentially bullet proof aren't you? Great!

Not entirely, I was given a friendly warning, my second ever.

The previous was by Crimey for drunken blasphemy.

Morning all, been travelling all morning, hope I have not missed much, and you are all well

Julius is taking on the lesser fly on the off-topic, I hope he keeps his sanity.

Morning, Dagless. You've missed very little - as a means of keeping the CC going we're reduced to reporting what goes on on other threads.

Dark times indeed, I am sure we will all come out of this better for the experience

I've set up an Ashes tipping comp if anyone's interested.

https://www.606v2.com/t66776-the-606v2-ultimate-points-chaser-competition-for-the-70th-ashes-series

Would be nice to have some more CC representation. Off to sleep now... it's getting late here.

Fist!

Hello mate, I see you have the CC's back in TLD's ashes thread also...

Glad to see that some people still care about the CC's well-being. I get so annoyed the way people carry on about the NHS, employment and the dying out of the local pub while this great institution is neglected.

We got f*ck all in the Budget.

That's to be expected. The government have the same contempt for us that they have for combatting crime.

I'm all over it with the customary Scottish expertise at cricket.

Think I've dug myself a bit of a hole with that tipping comp. Bitten off more than I can chew in retrospect.
The spreadsheet is proving to be a greater challenge than I had anticipated.
Had to dumb it down, break it into several parts and then add bits back together.

Glad I'm not an accountant... I'd be in jail by now.

Just give any old score and there's bound to be one or two angry posters who provide you with the correct one.

Cunningham's law, Galts...

The quickest way to get a correct answer online, is not to ask a question, but to post an incorrect fact an await for people to correct you.

Yeah, throw them something flawed and let them chew over it themselves.

Then wait a few hours (i.e. w*nk over an old dog-eared copy of Wisden) before 'thanking' or 'apologising' to the smarty pants who thinks they know everything.

A pity Truss isn't a cricket fan, huh?

Might give alfie a "7" instead of a "73" and see how he reacts....

Truss would just provide you with a.... f*cking..... poll.....

I am sure that Flipper mentioned a CC 3.0 that he was going to host.

That's a bit annoying. I thought it was something I'd come up with and that it would be called 'Galted's Law'.

Actually, I think that's called Galted's Law.

Very good, Julius. That post was certainly sufficiently quick-witted for me to use my 9999th post as a response.

I can't wait for a similarly quick-witted post so that I can use number 10000 as a response.

Congratulations on your millstone milestone Galted.
Now I can't wait for your next palindromic post.

JuliusHMarx wrote:Congratulations on your millstone milestone Galted.

Thank you, Julius.  My next palindormic post is going to be something special.  I will start with an inspirational quote from someone like Albert Einstein, then paste in the entire uncut version of Eskimo Nell, and finish with an inspirational quote from someone like Jeff.

It will be sensational.

rick_dagless wrote:I am sure that Flipper mentioned a CC 3.0 that he was going to host.

Proving almost impossible. I'd find myself having to deal with people from here and they are an increasingly mental breed.

Although I foresee great debate in the "best current politician" round

Fair point, Dolph.

Morning all, congrats Galts, and a happy Friday notches.

Gutentag notcherinos

Morning ,Shah.

How goes it?

Morning Shah.

And thanks, Dagless, your congratulatory message has made it all worthwhile.
