[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Oh no, MLCMan, there was Guinness a-plenty . . . supped even as I watched the MU Rowdies thrash a lacklustre Stevie Me and the Merseyside Slouchers at the Old Trafford Devilbowl. Much more rewarding fare than the ugly capitulation shown by our white flag-waving cricketers on Saturday.

Poor old Aussies - just when you thought you were in for a cracking test and one-day series we decide to stop feeding our sportsmen the self-deluding drugs and let them slump to their former mediocre crapness.
Prey for rain, else McGrath is odds-on to get his whitewash.

Good to hear Sweder - Guinness gives you strength after all, everyone knows that. Except perhaps the England cricket team. But we shall see, we shall see. I reckon even SP will be taking an interest in this Ashes campaign. Tickets were all sold out months ago - quite unprecedented. In fact there seems to have been more demand for Ashes tickets than for the U2 tour, which coincides. Personally I'd like to see both, but will probably see neither Oh well, at least I'll most likely get paid to sit at work and watch the cricket... I love working for the national broadcaster during the cricket season
