Important question: What kind of cucumbers do you use for proper english cucumber sandwiches? The hothouse (long english cucumbers as we call them), or the white spine (field) variety. Peeled or no? I think perhaps I should figure this out, as my chances of understanding the game are not so good. |

Modern thinking, mostly amongst liberals, has led to the introduction of knee pads, and in extreme cases, even helmets, for the less skilled players. This was brought about by the unfair tactic, introduced by West Indian bowlers, of being both physically fit, and bowling both very accurately, and very, very, very fast. This modern tactic was subsequently adopted by other colonial nations, and I believe that even the Australians have now mastered it. |

That sounds terribly inconvenient in a number of ways. |

We made 'em forget all about Karl Rove.
Actually the cucumbers are irrelevent. What's important is the method of making the orange juice. You need water, malt, hops and yeast. It's absolutely terrific. |

Is that even in english? Were I a cricket player, I dunno if I could ever talk about it with anyone else and still take myself seriously! Just messin' of course, but still. Them's be some absurd labels. |

lovely phrase, mp! and thanks for the recipe; I always thought it must be white bread (but I did know about removing the evil crusts!). Those sound really good. and uh, thanks for the rules, John Definitely more entertaining (although perhaps more confusing) than American politics.
