Funny though back in 2005 when we won The Ashes for the first time in how many years the whole nation got behind England when it became clear we were about to win.
Day 5 at The Oval people were queuing for miles to get in the ground.
Admittedly many of those were jumping on the bandwagon but that's an awful lot of grammar school graduates to squeeze in at The Oval.1 -

What you mean is that it was reported a lot by the establishment called the BBC.0 -
I think Greenie does have half a case.
Generally speaking you do get more intelligent people at cricket, tennis and rugby union, than you do at football.
I say that from having been a spectator at them all.0 -
Well let's not forget Channel 4 who were providing TV coverage at the time or most of the newspapers who provided front page coverage when we won it.Greenie said:

It isn't, it's a two team tournament played by one team who has a huge population, the majority of which don't give a toss about cricket, against the other team with a very small population the majority of which love cricket.
No other country cares, no really, no one does unless of course you went to grammer school in the U.K., or are unfortunate enough to be Australian.

I don't disagree with this at all. When England play someone like Sri Lanka or New Zealand there's no interest in it from the national in general which does back up what Greenie is saying.Covered End said:I think Greenie does have half a case.

But the 2005 series fans could sense victory against The Aussies and for the first time in nearly 20 years? Suddenly all the football fans started turning up as they had something to get behind.2 -
Look I understand your anger, if you like the ashes and see it as a top line sports tournament, then enjoy it.MartinCAFC said:

The rest of us see it as a very very minor sporting event between two countries, the Ashes is not even a world championship, It's just not an important world sporting event, it's about as important as the boat race.0 -
I'm not angry, I'm just making the point cricket certainly isn't just a Grammar School thing. I've played before for a Sunday team and not one of them went to Grammar School and I doubt many did from the teams we played either.Greenie said:

I get what you're saying, if you're into cricket it's a big thing, if you're not then yes it's as relevant as the boat race is to those not into that. I just wouldn't stereotype those who like cricket as Grammar School graduates.2 -

They've been showing "Curling" over here, as a spectator sport. In comparison cricket is on a par with a Roman chariot race, excitement wise.MartinCAFC said:

That the pope gets his own space on the news to tell us that fake news is a bad thing. I've no problem with having someone on the news tell us that fake news is bad. I just don't want it to be the CEO of the world's biggest fake news agency.14

Uber - drivers please don't accept a job then procede to sit there for 10 minutes whilst im waiting to get somewhere, was heading up town yesterday lunch at oxo tower then around borough for drinks, was meant to get a 13.46 train so ordered an uber leaving up 30 mins to get there ( drive is about 10 mins with slight traffic ) driver accepts the job and no movement, tried calling but the driver was deaf/hard of hearing so didnt accept calls, cancelled the uber got charged £5 for the privilege and drove to the station, missed the train by a minute so popped into the railway ( bexley ) for a pint quite nice. spoke to uber and they refunded the cancellation fee.
before i get told - you shouldnt use uber i tried 3 local cab firms who had nothing avaiable.2 -
People who can't tell the difference between fly-tipping and donations.
My walk to work passes a few charity shops and even though there are clear signs begging people not to just dump items at their doorway when they're closed, every Monday morning someone has ignored this request. Normally it is just a bin bag of clothes or a box of old junk but the scene this morning took the piss.
Someone has left a broken, wet, dirty giant leather LA-Z-BOY along with a dozen binbags of old shit blocking the entrance to a charity shop. I imagine when the octogenarian volunteer turns up to open the shop she will find it quite difficult to shift what clearly took at least two strong men in the dead of night to unload so she can even get to the front door.
