Hi guys!
Can't believe I am doing this, but I have turned on TV and trying to understand this cricket stuff....I am sure you WILL do it...just like you will do the shortlist for The Plays The Thing.....hit that wood!!! (is that what you shout at the telly?)

Absolutely true story.

My 11 year old asked me this morning "Dad, has someone famous died?"

"No, Georgie, not that I know of - why?"

"Coz I just heard on the radio that the English team are going to bring home the Ashes today".

Shame we can't run cars on them ...

We won we won we won we won. I can stop holding my breath now.

Couldn't believe it whe I went into Tesco* A large supermarket this moring and there was a massive queue. This is the nation that carries on as normal with bombs going off all over the place - but the tiniest rumour that petrol will be in short supply . . .

*Just in case one of the others was thinking of sponsoring me.

YES! WE'RE GREAT, WE'RE BRILLIANT, WE'RE WONDERFUL!

Well playing to the Aussie team too.

Thanks Gravy! I reckon I can bill that!

It's really dark down here in London, now.

At least on the Middlesex side of the River,

It looks as if the sun has set on Australia.

Bet Earl's Court will be a bit quiet tonight too!

Strewth!

Playfull - when you say 'up those ashes' - is that a comment or an instruction?

OK, you know you've got too involved when you cry at the awards presentation...

We all had a lump in our throats.

Well Done, England.

Now I have no excuse not to be packing. Damn.

Did someone say there were queues at petrol filling stations?

Fuel prices affect us all, whether drivers or not.

*Lewes surreptitiously checks his BP shares*

Wowee!

Lewes,
I've just got back from my local petrol station - I walked, need batteries for the camera, so that I can take a couple of pictures of my daughter heading off for her first day at school...

Anyway... I don't think it's an exageration to say that they were queuing for at least 100 yards in either direction - plus they had staff out on the forecourt to direct traffic and prevent arguements!

Thank goodness I cycle to work!

A repetition of September 2000 and the fuel blockades?

Don't panic! Don't panic!

and we have to drive to Stoke and back twice this week...

BBC news reports main petrol suppliers:
pumps quiet, no panic!

I should have gone and filled up when the ashes were on damn it! I couldn't get into Tesco's yesterday, because the queue for the fuel pumps was blocking the entrance... Oh what am I saying – I enjoyed watching it – I did, I admit it.

Minxy

It's one of the rare occasions I can thank my insomnia!

No queue at 3am this morning!

All this queuing is rough - terrible when you just popped in for a litre of Absinth, I mean milk...
