I don't like Cricket

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.

Well, the Sisters are from Yorkshire. At least one Heartlander has a Geoffery Boycott avatar.

you wouldn't believe the amount of utter bollocks that was spouted by the likes of RicheyJames in an attempt to set themselves as being above the common herd (there's a joke there as RJ is shorter than a 16 year-old' boys first time but such things are beneath me *snigger*). the epitomy of the "it's cool to like things simply because no-one else likes them and at the same time we can imply that we see something in it that everyone else is too stupid to" school of shouldered chips. :von:

I say old chap, dissing another fellow over his chosen sport. You bounder, that's just not cricket

GBShaw should try waiting for a new Sisters album, then...

I've always thought that the Sisters were part of our great national tradition of underachievement.

Cricket, Polo, Golf, Football, Amurikan Fussball, Volleyblall, F1, basketball - this, and many more, are awfully boring sports, if you don't like them, but if you do then it's diferent game - boxing.
