^ That's my little tribute to the much-missed Galted. It should appear at the top after the thread split.

He's probably tired from the D-day commemorations. It is a long trek at his age.

Well played Jules...

He has barely recovered from his annual trip to remember the battle of the Somme.

The Somme was greater than its parts.

That reminds of the 'blowie' chapter in Birdsong.

It's hardly a chapter, is it? More like a couple of paragraphs.

Great book though.

CULTURE!

I wonder if Seb Faulkes would be happy that my abiding memory of the book was some old school Frenchie getting a salty gobful?

by Rowley Tue 10 Jun 2014, 2:34 pm

Sebastian Faulks wrote a James Bond novel, of the modern additions to the Bond canon it is considered one of the better attempts.

That should be a review on the cover if it's ever re-released.

I'll see if I can patent it. Don't want to be robbed like Dangerous Dave was by Eddie.

Video killed the radio star.

You're the one that wants to hold her
Hold her and control her
You'd better forget it
You'll never get it
For she'll say there's no other
Till she finds another
Better forget it
Oh you'll regret it

by Rowley Tue 10 Jun 2014, 3:47 pm

Michaels is the Lee Harvey Oswald of the culture cup (he did it, before any of you conspiracy idiots start)

I'm going to Lords on Saturday for the test match, Seany. Do you want me to pass a message on to Sam Robson if I get the chance?

Aw look Sam you could have removed the turtle choker before passing me the tinny.

With modern-day sponsorship, do cricketers wear corporate boxes?

I wear a yellow one which curls around to my undercarriage. Best of a bad bunch.

How very dare you. This is on my own money and I am sitting with the proletariat.

I'm still bitter about that Sean however, as my natural state is one of extreme bitterness it's nigh on impossible to tell if there's any discernible change in my general demeanour.

Mrs667 still thinks I'm a c**t, so I'd say there isn't

Tino - Nigel
Jeff - Terry

Kingraf - Fannie
Superfly - Alec
Rick - Rick
Galted - Virgil

Very good though I wasn't hugely pleased with the "Virgil" part of it.

Tino - Barry
Jeff - Thaddeus
Jules - Sir Rupert
Kingraf - Bongani
Superfly - Mervyn
Rick - Ricky
Linebreaker - Mitchell
Seanmichaels - Buford
Galted - I don't think my name is likely to be Virgil, it's more of a Clayton or a Ramone

You're a beautiful, beautiful person, Julius.

I haven't been this touched since I got dressing room passes for my fourth birthday when Rolf Harris and Jimmy Savile hosted a charity concert in my hometown.

by Rowley Tue 10 Jun 2014, 10:00 pm

I would be genuinely ecstatic to be called Thaddeus.

by **Galted** Tue 10 Jun 2014, 10:11 pm

Evening, Jeff. If you own a field that contains an oak tree and a dry stone wall you have earned the right to be called Thaddeus.

by kingraf Tue 10 Jun 2014, 10:12 pm

Bongani? NO!! I've got three names mate, and Bongani isn't even the right language group!!
One of my names is in Afrikaans, and a certain Springbok backline player shares it with me

by kingraf Tue 10 Jun 2014, 10:15 pm

Isnt Galted's real name Ray Mears, or something?

by **Galted** Tue 10 Jun 2014, 10:21 pm

Fourie?
Morne?
Frans?

With you.

He was very complimentary and the cores he took out the pitch were useful. Pretty jealous of his life. Groundsman at a big public school, ECB stuff on the side (£300 for a couple of hours).

Morning all, how are we all this pleasant morning. I am off work today. Meeting friends for lunch and then going to watch a film as part of the Sheffield documentary festival, because I am culture.

My birth name is Francesc, ostensibly after some guy my dad grew up with in Spain. Went to an Afrikaans school, so unfortunately, Francesc didn't become Frank, or Cesc, rather it became Frans.

Would have infinitely preferred Faf, as it doesn't evoke images of a farmer in khaki shorts, and pale green shirts.
