And by a bloke called Murali, too. There’s a double positive if ever there was one.

Perhaps you could find some way of using The Blue Box in a positive context, thereby allowing us to celebrate its return in a non-conflicted manner? Of course, then you wouldn’t be able to write “pious turds” in it, and there’s a phrase which doesn’t get enough use these days if ever I read one.

For some reason our not-so-faithful blogging software arbritrarily shifted bits of the code around during The Blue Box’s construction rendering our hero malformed.

We wouldn’t be totally crushed if we didn’t have to go through that again.

Stupid WordPress.

Well? Do you?

Unfortunately.

I always feel it deserves capitalisation, personally.

I am assuming that this isn’t just a lack of effort on your part. It’s deliberate, isn’t it, demonstrating that you don’t want to try too hard in an article about “Haydos”? [nb I feel dirty just typing that nickname].

Normally we just plough on regardless though, you’re right.

No mention of the best ODI batsman in the world nearly beating Australia by himself?
