Posted by The Unicorns lost to Nottinghamshire yesterday. This reminded us that a friend was asking about them the other day. We suppose we’d better clear up a few questions.
Who are the Unicorns?
The Unicorns are the ECB Recreational XI.
Where are they from?
They are from “long ago.”
Why should I support them?
Because if the Unicorns have their horns cut off, the world is plunged into eternal darkness.
Hope that clears things up for you all.
I am still too aggrieved that my ECB Recreational XI TV show never got commissioned to worry about the bloody Unicorns at the moment.
Are ECB Recreational XIs a bit like recreational drugs?:
* more fun than the other sort
* unlikely to be deployed backsidewise
* guaranteed to induce parental disapproval – and therefore high up one’s own approval list
* likely to get you into trouble at some stage, but it might well nevertheless be worth it
* shrouded in near-insane mythology
The unicorn is the symbol of purity [aka in medieval terms = virginity] and some of these lads look either in the correct zone or way beyond it in the sensual sense – but maybe the brainiacs in the ruling body have an unusual insight
