Best Accent

[Bolter]

Thing is Manike, your accent is probably still waaaaay better than other English accents. Lets never introduce an american to a scouser, or a geordie, or a brum. That would be confusing

In fact, why is it that posh people/ middle - upper class, all around Britain have the exact same accent, but if you live in normalsville you gain the local accent of that area? Mark? I know how you like to interject at points like this.......

Moi? You know when I do and why, often it is a race to who gets to the thread first...you or me. But since you asked

You like watching crack?

First off, American football > European football BUT Rugby is better than both.

As for Cricket...interesting game, but boring as all hell. I sat in Vancouver at a park once for about 3 hours trying to figure the damn game out.

As for an American cricket team...never knew...

I wanna see an American Kubb team. (For those that never heard of it, Kubb is a Swedish lawn game, kinda like horse shoes.)

I don't know about the watching crack part but I do agree that Cricket is boring to watch...unless it is one day stuff as that is the same as I played in school...you bowl and try and get them out as quick as possible none of this defensive bowling rubbish you see in Test Cricket and you bat like you want to make a six every time...that IS fun to watch. To swing this towards paintball the sponsors of the major countries have it sewn up with logo placement...even the umpires wear sponsorship logo's and given the sport the newer uniforms are pretty cool compared to what they used to look like. If those helmets the players wear weren't so expensive I have seriously considered on for reffing paintball.

Any game where the guys are semi tall, and have on tight pants works for me... I can never get bored watching guys do just about anything.
Hmmm I am thinking of sponcering a cricket game in my front yard for that purpose.. anyone game? I'll supply the alchol, y'all bring the tight pants

~steph~

ps: i think the fact that my front yard is rather wet and a bit muddy would make this game more enjoyable. heehee
