The rules of cricket are simple Libby. You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game Martin D Huh?  |

It's not a bad description of the game of cricket, in fact! But you have to thoroughly understand the game before you can understand what Martin posted! There are two completely different meanings of the words "in" and "out", incidentally!  I was intrigued to see a sudden burst of posts from Ross yesterday, I wonder why?  Cheers, Dave |

The funniest thing I've read in ages!  Cheers Grant LOL Grant, yes. I started to read that, and I started to lose track of all the "ins and outs". Too much. LOL I don't need to know the "ins and outs" of the game. As I said, the only information I require is: Did New Zealand win, or did they not? Check (or tick, as you say in the UK) box Yes or box No. LOL |

Yes, Libby, NZ beat England. Not only beat them but beat them so comprehensively that it was embarrassing (if you are English).

Heard a good joke today. Scotland will love playing England tomorrow as Scots love anything that is battered.

Wow, Hayley looks a little mean in the 2nd one!   Jk. The first one makes me think of the "Call Me Maybe" song...  And Hayley's never a loser! Did you notice Sophie's wearing the Performer badge instead of Hayley? i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifHey, if you browse through SophieB's photos, a few earlier than the ones with Hayley show a view out the hotel window looking out at Hagley Park, but then look what's on the table... a Hushabye CD booklet (and there's a case there, too, assuming it goes with the booklet). I'm disappointed I'm unable to post them on the official forum, though. The link has the https which means it posts a different photo from her page instead. Guess I'll just post the link to her instagram page. It's easy to find... for now! |

 Richard  So can someone explain to me what the above hand gesture means? I'm guessing it's not rude if Hayley uses it  |

It's the Sign of the Horns, i.e. the "Rock'N'Roll" sign, often used by fans at concerts of that genre. Originally used in Southern Italy to ward off the Evil Eye, it was popularised by Ronnie James Dio when he joined Black Sabbath. Here's the Wikipedia article: www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_of_the_horns-Taylor |

I thought I had tried removing the s, and it still didn't work... I have quite a habit of removing the s from any link, because in the past, I found that they cause more problems (at least on the forum). So, if I didn't try to remove it, I'd be very surprised.
