Anyone else got an opinion? We can tweak things based on how our audience feels about things. We’re not Cricinfo.

I’m being advised to carry what looks like a sonic screwdriver AT ALL TIMES.

Completely understand having mid-text adverts on the mobile site. Would rather in all honesty have the ads down the side on the desktop site: it is becoming more common, but so are the far right in Europe, T20, and superbugs. Slightly different scale of disaster, natch. I still notice them when they’re on the side.

I’ll keep whitelisting this place regardless, so long as the ads don’t start to move about and slow my Mac to a crawl. I appreciate the need to make this place financially less unviable.

To second Ged, that is an absolutely immaculate piece of writing PP. Real quality.

Exceptionally good match report, Prince Prefab. I owe you beer and cake.

Man of the match award goes to Will Bevan.

Actually, on reflection, the man of the match award should go to you, Prince Prefab, for the absolutely delicious line:

“He was a big lad, a farmer, lost his virginity at twelve. You did what he said”

Chapeau, Prince Prefab. But not the Anglais kind; best reserve that for the needy pre-teen Will Bevan.

Ged,
The huts were the temporary classrooms my school had for all five years I was there. Over in the corner of the yard, by a main road. Two classrooms per hut, a cloakroom in between with two fire extinguishers on hooks.
It was Will Bevan’s idea (He was a big lad, a farmer, lost his virginity at twelve. You did what he said) –water fight with fire extinguisher until they ran out. That’s about all there is to it.
Then Mr Carter found out and this is where it’s not fun anymore. He’d lost a friend in a fire when he was young. He came in the room and placed the empty fire extinguishers on the desk at the front and went for us. Quietly at first. Tough lads cried.
But not Will Bevan. Later that day he ran across the football pitch with a panty pad from the vending machine in the girls toilet stuck to his head. His arms spread wide and a big smile on his face. He left before GCSEs.

An offer of beer and cake can solve most problems of this kind, in my experience.

He’s a baseball fan – this might have some relevance to US Super Rounders or something. I don’t think he’s advocating a promotion up the order when our talented young hitman returns.

I’ve been offered a free WW1 commemorative coin. FREE. Sounds like literally money for nothing. Usually online transactions seem to be almost exactly the opposite of this. I’m not sure this particular merchant has got the hang of advertising just yet.

You’ve clearly never tried to persuade Prince Prefab to do something.
