I am NOT a number...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Nonsense. Get yourself up to Chelmsford on a warm summer's afternoon and enjoy the thwack of willow on leather. Wait til they play Durham and I'll even shout for the beers.

As for numbers, I could be nine while nine, or I could be seven of nine. But I'd probably be 1973 for preference.

Chelmsford?...you mean that they play cricket there too??

i just don't see the fasination of watching grown men wearing virginal white throwing balls at eachother...

almost as boring as baseball...and thankfully we don't have baseball on UK TV :urff:
I've been here before, but if you reduce any human activity to its basics, the end result is absurdity. Why bother stretching pieces of string over some wood and plucking them? Why scrawl symbolic squiggles on a piece of paper, or daub a canvas with varied colours? And who the hell thinks drinking the mouldy juices of vegetables is a good way of spending an evening?

As for baseball, apart from being a one-time registered official with the British Baseball Federation (really, I can prove it if I really have to), you can find it on UKTV. Channel Five have it in the wee small hours of the morning. If you're not interested you won't be converted, but it is there. I can find you Essex-based American Football if you want to be bored by that as well :D

The magnificent game!
and no one played it better in the 90s (or now, for that matter) than the New York Giants

Ah...now then now then...

American Grid Iron Football i can do!!...that is the most boring dragged out game i have ever had the pleasure of watching...

Giants are OK...but personally i always supported the LA Raiders until they up and moved to Oakland...then i supported the Oakland Raiders...YAY!!...

Denver Broncos were always the team to shout for during their superbowl attempts...just because you knew deep down inside that the AFC team was always gonna get the sh*t kicked outta them by the NFL...


now...tell me some more...

or can we all say that beach volleyball is just beyond decent taste? seriously...it's as crass as Baywatch was during the 80's...and now the blonde one is doing tv ads for sky tv...puhlease!!

@ Burn and Barman Blast:

The Pittsburgh Steelers of the 1970's as coached by Chuck Noll were by far the best of the best in american football. Four 4 count them Super Bowl Championships. Two o f them back to back. The offensive line of quarterback Terry Bradshaw, Lynn Swan, John Stallworth in at wide reciever...was fantastic.
Add running backs Franco Harris and Rocky Blier..and they were not to be toyed with. Their game was both rushing and passing and.. :notworthy:

The defensive line...Jack Ham, Jack Lambert and Mean Joe Greene were fecking awesome.

Playoff games with the Raiders and Houston Oilers were blood baths, as those bastards cheated, but cheating aside they could not beat the Steelers. Nor could Dallas
or the Vikings in those wonderful superbowl match ups.

In the 1970's real men played football and the team to contend with was the Steelers!

Football today is far too full of whining babies who wont' play hurt, won't go all out. None of them can ever match the Iron Curtain of the Steelers.

End of your lessons for today boys.
