Just so that you know, in January 2005 before the last Ashes series in the UK, I bought two tickets to the fifth day of the fifth test from the Oval website for £10 each (unlike other grounds the Oval sold day 5 tickets in advance, I hadn't entered the ballot for other tickets).
At the start of the series whenever I mentioned this to anyone they just looked at me with a pitiful look, as if to say "You poor deluded fool, there'll be no play that day. Even if there is it will be the humiliating end of another losing Ashes series."
We all know how that turned out.
Not that I am hopeful this time though.Comment

2-2 Aussies to retain the urn.
Bloody colonials.
In the town where I was born, there lived a man who was a thief
And he told me of his life, stealing bread and shagging sheep.
So they put him in the nick, and then a magistrate he went to see
He said "put him on a ship, to the convict colony"
You all live in a convict colony, a convict colony, a convict colony
You all live in a convict colony, a convict colony, a convict colony"See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

Stick to rugby OS, you obviously know something about that sport."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment
