:thumbsup: Sarcasm is the greatest form of wit :1orglaugh Well, in the UK anyway :)
 
It`s a bit shit when even a 20 over a side match can`t be finished.Why can`t spare days be set aside for matches?Agree about the D/L system.Utter rubbish.
 
Why is Paul Collingwood even in your twenty20 team, let alone the captain?
Didn't anyone forsee that having a player who is at best a nudger and nurdler who slowly and stodgily accumulates runs rather than blasts boundaries in the t20 team was a bad idea?
He struggles to hit it off the square and he got made captain? Was it his idea to have three players in the middle order who can't hit boundaries in a format which requires the ropes to be cleared?
Apologies to americans who will not understand a single word of that, its about cricket.
 
I hear British people in movies use the word "grass" as slang. And I don't mean as slang for marijuana. They use it like a noun. Like when Brick Top in Snatch says, "I don't have time for grasses". Implying that the man he was addressing was a "grass".

What does "grass" mean in this context?

Yep Digestives are a type of 'cookie' (we call cookies biscuits over here). They are so named because originally they were sold as an aid to digestion. There are other variants, chocolate ones, both dark & milk & the rather lovely Caramel Digestive! Smashing with a nice cup of tea!

Oh, and I already know the answer to this one but I'd like to see if anyone else does. Where does the phrase "Mind your P's and Q's," come from?
 
Machine typesetters, old fashioned print had to be layed out backwards so it printed right, it was easy to mix up p's and q's if u weren't careful. It was advice to apprentice typesetters.

It's very similar to the old expression 'mind your b's and d's' :1orglaugh

One explanation is it related to when you bought ale "on the slate" and it was time to settle your bill.P's and Q's were references to pints and quarts.
