In reply to Ged. I thought your approach worked well too. More accessible for people looking on their phones rather than having a mouse to hand. I was getting Chinese babes too. Now I've got The Body Shop. I don't know how to feel about this.

Ludicrously tangential to this site, but I have at times peppered my King Cricket match reports with tales of doing judging for ludicrous corporate awards evenings.

The following Ogblog is the story of how it all started for me down that judging, in 1994, when I judged for the inaugural accountancy awards. Do not click if you like pompous awards evenings:

I don’t do hover captions myself, but I have been having a go at some pictures with captions lately:

In other news, I seem to be getting offers for cheaper car insurance and sneakers now – the Chinese babes have given up on me. I guess I just didn’t click with them.

Excellent hover caption. Needed to be said.

In other news, looks like Mathew Wade has a possible case of the Wild Shits.

I got adverts for a citrus fruit squeezer and zester, a strange shirt about scotties, a choice of pepper mills on Amazon and a 25% discount in Trump’s new hotel if i stay for three nights.

I bought a pepper mill.

In reply to Bert.

I think we need to entertain the possibility that I am that special, Balladeer.

Unfortunately, I think their definition of “that special” might be linked to that other ad I used to get all the time on here…the one that presupposes that I have $250,000 lying around just waiting to be invested.

A shout out to the girls (and the investment agents come to that): I am well stacked but I’m not that loaded.

Anil Kumble was mostly right arm slow medium who masqueraded as a leg spinner every once in a while. Useful bowler he was. Maybe bowling it straight on off stump every single time is the ultimate answer to cricket (and by extension life and the universe itself), and we’ve got it wrong all along.
