Can’t resist it!

Those are Mike Hussey’s bowling statistics (yes, I did say ‘bowling’) for the first innings of the second Sri Lanka Test.  As perfect as they could be.

To make it even better, it was Kumar Sangakkara whom he dismissed, one of the best batsman around. 😀

For non-cricketers, you can read that as “one over, one maiden, no runs for one wicket”.

Mega Joke

WW1 explained using a bar fight as a metaphorical learning vehicle.

From a history teacher in the UK. I wish I had history teachers like that….

Germany, Austria and Italy are standing together in the middle of a pub when Serbia bumps into Austria and spills Austria’s pint. Austria demands Serbia buy it a complete new suit because there are splashes on its trouser leg. Germany expresses its support for Austria’s point of view. Britain recommends that everyone calm down a bit. Continue reading “Mega Joke”

What to get for the lady who does not want anything.

Recently, it was my dear old aunt’s 90th birthday.

Brought before the court on the charge of murder.

The judge asked her if she had anything to say in her defense.
She began coolly, ‘Yes, your honor. I figured that at 92, if he could have sex…He could also fly.’

Sub Saharan Africans

Sub Saharan Africans

 It would appear that ‘sub Saharan African’ is the new black!

I’ve heard the phrase on CNN and Aljezeera, not sure about SKY (I don’t watch BBC World) but it appears that the word black is out and ‘sub Saharan African’ is in.

Now, sub Saharan African includes my family and I suppose my good friend and fellow Charioteer (our colleague presently resident in Cape Town)

If you listen to the news clip from CNN (where I nicked the pic) they start off with ‘sub Saharan Africans’ what they of course mean is black migrant workers from Chad, Ghana, Mali, Nigeria and who knows where else.

I can see the headlines now Continue reading “Sub Saharan Africans”

Yes, I know I went AWOL around the Jurassic era. Rumours of my extinction have been greatly exaggerated, nonetheless.
