RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted January 20, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 20, 2010 No worries, Jam - for me it would be things like American Football and baseball which I cannot even begin to comprehend. Then again, I have no clue about cricket either! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BoD Posted January 20, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 20, 2010 Just "Bishop", or Bishop and then their first, or last name. Talking of which, we used to have a Rev. attached to our Scout District. Great bloke, his appetite was famed. You could be cooking out in the middle of nowhere, be ready to serve, look around, and there would be no-one within 100yds. Lift a burger off the fire and he would be there, at your elbow with his plate. He used to do this to every troop camping, at every meal, too. Anyway, he was always referred to as 'Your Vicarage'. He eventually got used to it and answered to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold SouthernRegionSteam Posted January 20, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 20, 2010 This might help Jam: You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game! Thanks BoD, that's cleared it up quite a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted January 20, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 20, 2010 Thanks BoD, that's cleared it up quite a bit. BoD did of course forget the bit about the third umpire and the importance of the volume control. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixoh8sixoh Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Thanks BoD, that's cleared it up quite a bit. The man who's in can be out if he doesn't run his bat in or if he's out of his crease when the ball's thrown in. When each over's over, the square leg umpire becomes the bowler's end umpire and vice versa. Silly mid off and square leg are positions, not medical conditions. The third man is one of eleven.

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted January 20, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 20, 2010 I once got hit on the head (by the bat not the ball) after being made to field at silly leg. This was in the time when PE teachers were socialised psychopaths rather than the pleasant characters who encourage their students in schools today.

shortliner Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Every time somebody mentions "Bishop" I'm reminded of Marty Feldman, and his "flocking stick". He was a sad loss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDMJ Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I don't understand it, particularly the scoring and I have never really been interested at all. Perhaps if I knew some basic principles I may take more interest in it... Jam: Don't let me put you off coming to Febex at Alton next month, but I am a former member of the Association of Cricket Umpires and Scorers and passed their exam with 99.7%, so whilst you're helping me operate Lynnbottom, I'll happily talk to you about cricket!

DonBradley Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Good morning all. My new lounge suite arrives tomorrow so I will be at home to receive it, so will not be on line. Will see you all on Monday. BoD that explanation of cricket id brilliant, but one has to understand cricket in order to appreciate it. I don't think that it will help Jam at all!

Robert Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Morning All, I'm in the office early again this morning - the audit is now at an end. The weather is pretty reasonable today. A little on the chilly side, but no where near as cold as it was. Have a good day everyone! :icon_wave: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted January 21, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 21, 2010 Morning all... Just how rabbits can be this active so early in the morning remains a mystery to me . I mean, I usually do get up early, too, but I doubt I could go running around like they do! Have a good day, all of you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted January 21, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 21, 2010 Morning all a bit chilly but dry here. Rabbits are generally active now to get the dew with their intake of grass and avoid predators of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordon s Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Morning all.... Ventured out last night to the smoke and my first live football match in about 15 years. Left home at 4.30 and got back at 11.30, having taken a car, train and underground to The Emirates to watch Arsenal v Bolton. Yes, the atmosphere was great, the stadium superb, but realise this morning I will continue to be an armchair fan.... Turn up two minutes before the match starts, lovely and warm without having to wear umpteen layers of clothes. Then of course there is a comfy seat, cold beer and food, waitress service if your lucky and far less bad language. Match over and off to bed at 10.00, just minutes later, with only two people and a dog on the stairs.... I know, ain't got no soul....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDolfelin Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I watched some of the match between Aston Villa and another team. A bit boring as they just took it in turns to score and foul. Ten goals if I remember rightly. More like ping pong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There once was a man from Leeds, Who swallowed a packet of seeds, A tuft of grass, came out of his nose, and his hair was a riot of weeds!
