Mythbusters is not in the programme guide because test matches are scheduled to run five days (or is it still six in England with a rest day?).

Don't be concerned.

The other Myth that will be well and truly shattered in time for SBS to resume normal programming, is that the Poms have a snowflakes chance of surviving more than three days.

Cheers,

P (Sorry jow, didn't know you were reading this thread!)

Who needs SBS anyway? Give it back to Zeddy and his mates so they can get their jollies. I'm watching it on FOX2 :p

Ooh ah, Glen McGrath :D:D:D`

Refund Policy : Should the supplier be satisfied that the purchaser is not happy with the product, a peroid of 30 days shall apply, after which the 31st day will follow.

(sounds fair to me) ;)

cricket lovely crickeete

Well, well, well. :confused:

I honestly think they should now consider extending the length from 22yds to 25yds bowlers are getting much higher speeds and accuracy these days.
I said earlier this year 2 / 3 days would be enough.

If Jesus had wanted us to go Decimal he would have only had 10 disciples

I was only thinking near enough is good enough, and who would really notice the shortfall, as long as the magical 22 is still there no one would really know.
Anyway a metre is only a metric yard :p or is it a yard is only an imperial metre :confused:
Oh sod it, I don't even follow cricket anyway, Tally Ho, there goes the red bastard (fox hunt oz style) :rolleyes:
Don't get upset, I don't want to be responsible for another heart attack :D

What a great system we have, I have not been naturalised (which my young brother always thought was being circumcised) so I have been excluded from the electoral role, I served in the RAAF, in bloody Vietnam, still no vote, received a valour citation for above and beyond thecall of duty, from the Governor General and in the grouinds of Government House, full media coverage, still no rights, I'm just a Pommy Bastard in the Governments eyes.

Hey ZEd,

I would have thought a good Croat boy would be looking at "real" football, i.e. the round ball? It's easier for a simian to handle as well.

Anywho... with a lead of 38 and finally batting sensibly it should be over by the time the Mythbusters come on again.

goto go they are back from lunch.../
