You Know Who's Greatest Quotes

"Bevan will be eaten alive on the turning pitches (unless you also think it will assist him in his bowling?)"

"Will all the rocket-scientists please explain the D/L system?"

"Gilly's a better keeper than Healy"

I will spare you by not re-posting the tribute poem to Steve.

BTW, couldn't we have called this thread:
Let's all have a good bitch about You Know Who?

this one is too classic to leave out of ANY quotes thread
"Has Warne ever taken a 5-for or 10-for in First Cricket Cricket?"

"BTW, couldn't we have called this thread:
Let's all have a good bitch about You Know Who?"

No, that's the Mud-Wrestling thread. :-)

"Cricket is just a game"

"Tailender is a poo poo head" (I think she said that one)

I'm sure you all thought it one time or another.

not me taily

You must be a saint, horrie

a saint?

in 2 millennia on this planet I have never been called that before...taily you are a gentle albeit misguided observer of cricket and life's foibles

You do meet one of the criterion for beatification. If surviving so long in Qbillyland doesn't qualify as a miracle I don't know what does

thank you RD - yep I have been lucky - eg several weeks ago when I was stuck in Roma (confused it for Rome..and believe me all roads should avoid leading to Roma) I had a mild altercation with two station owners and a stock and station agent - had to explain what QBillies were by asking them who they saw in the mirror when they shaved each morning- also further explained that rural folk like them were over subsidised but maybe that was fair enuff given that most of them suffered from anorexia charisma ...

skully said you were stuck in some workshop today

Yes h, poor programming on the bosses behalf. Just popped out for lunch to see Ksnr has made your day twice in two balls.

Ripe harvest of DKLF quotes in her latest stouch with Boof. She at one stage accuses him of being unPC.

Like the troglodyte Boof wouldn't see that as a badge of honor.

'When will they ever learn?????'

Better still, on a thread on which I have not made a post (under any tag) she says "hello tailender". Presumably she thinks I'm the only possible contender for the person of "Anti Fan".

Hmmm, maybe I should follow those two around as "Antiphon".

"Maybe we have an early Pakistan-like mentality (ie we're afraid of getting out, so we do)."

I'm glad someone else found that confusing ...

If cj/Aqua/DKLF/whoever posted it, most of us would find it confusing.

The new moniker is CJDennis, taily.

I know. Wish she'd stop assuming that everyone who has problems with her is me with a new tag.

Tried correcting the impression last night, and the sodding mod canned the post. And it was perfectly polite. :-(

Bloody shame she's calling herself CJD and not Banjo Paterson. Those lines from 'The Man From Ironbark' would fit perfectly:

'Her head was flat, her eyes were dull, she had no brains at all...'

Sorry Taily, didn't mean to cause a stink for ya! :-)

No problem, chrisso, she deserves everything you said to her, and more.

I just need to convince the mods to let me make it plain it isn't me. After all, you deserve the credit for all that hard work. ;-)

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"What happened 25 years ago?"

In response to waboy's anti-Tawny Grigg diatribe finishing with "why are we still paying for something that happened 25 years ago?"

Can anyone really be that stupid and ignorant?

Taily
Naths chat room threw me out & won't let me back in. I'll try again later.

Me too, it's crashed again. Can't even get into Nath's forum. :-(

Might be a good night to hang out over in Scribbly Gum to see if someone turns up for a chat, the natives don't usually stay up late.

To look ridiculous FOLLOWING one of Einstein/waboy's Deep Insights, now that does take talent.

Well, the idiot finally managed to lure me out of retirement. :-(

"I thought the minister who spoke at the end of the srvice was boring".

And the modding ABC has not only canned my first response (OK, saying "BTW, which one of the drooling, microcephalic, semi-sentient simians in the wheelchairs was you?" was a little over the top), but also the second, almost polite one - and removed the original post as well!!!!!

:-( Not modding happy Jan!

Afternoon Tails.

More classic clueless philistine pig-ignorance from Aquabrain, of course. What did she expect? The bloke was an Anglican minister. If he is ever caught being insufficiently boring, he finds himself arse deep in doggy-doo. She of all people should know that.

(As it was, a couple of his remarks that were reported in the paper here verged dangerously towards being un-boring I thought. In the circs he did OK.)

I've got the solution ...

Aqua needs to meet RD !!

They deserve each other...

Even better: The Icon From Norfolk (or whatever he calls himself) from C4.

NFI has now been dubbed PP (pretentious prat) in lieu of the less printable options under discussion.

I saw and heard the minister's speech - and thought it was considerably un-boring. Not comfortable to hear, but it needed to be said.

As for Water-on-the-brain-girl, not even RD deserves that - or would put up with it, even for a bit of nookie. Wonder if any of those feral pigs would be willing to migrate south . . .

I meant simply that she desperately needs it; and he says he'll take it where he can find it ...

At no time did I imply or infer that RD deserved her or should listen to her.

Good plan Pieman. At least while RD is attempting (if he remembers) to do it, it won't be able to type.

Do you honestly believe she could be made to shut up long enough?

Still, it's in a good cause - I could lend him some earplugs.

"Turning to Tests, the weather is why the Boxing Day Tests regularly should not be held in Melbourne, but rather somewhere sunny at that time of year (ie here in Adelaide, or swap it around and put it in Bris)."

Murray Walker, Molly Meldrum, KOK, Rex Hunt, Rex Mossop, Rebecca Wilson, Jeff Kennett....you've all been put in the shade.

From same post as above (posted YESTERDAY):

'Everyone knew that Aus would meet India in the finals, and it is now a certainty. Curse the Melbourne weather'

Apparently this only became plain yesterday.

For 'Aquus the Vacuous', when the penny drops it's usually a King George III half crown.

RD has spurned her; see C4

He can't be as desperate as he claims then . . .

I'd still do you Taily

Is you know who the person currently posting as cricketjunky?

If yes, I'll add to the list:
Ponting's form has dropped since anounced as test captain.

was pretty funny when CJ threw a tantie after multiple corrections on out of date ING/Pura standings tables.

"Why do they persist in appealing for catches and dismissals which are not out?"

FFS!!

"I'd still do you Taily"
-- R. Darling, February 2nd, 2004 11:28 AM. (later)

You'll have to catch me first. Even I am not that desperate . . . .

. . .yet.

Actually, RD, you're tpp good for her ( and vice versa).

Her ideal mate would have to be HWHNFI. Now, how can we get them together . . . ?

"It's amazing that Sports Tonight had the result before ChEddie did"

yes, amazing. (*rolls eyes*)

in reference to Punter

"Wonder if those ducks might count against him though. It amazes me that a player can win a medal or an award on the strength of one or two 'good' innings over a summer."

When I corrected her she claimed she was only joking. Yeah, right...

oji
I don't think anyone is under the impression that she has the capacity to make a joke as sophisticated as that.

Plus always remember Taily's first rule of foruming - "If someone picks up an error in a post claim it was a joke"

Well batted son! What a great choice for waugh s' replacement in the test team. From one 38y.o failure to a 21y.o failure. Sounds logical to me. Lets go with the youth. Australian cricket looks in good hands after the first two one dayers in the lankas with clarke m an absolute stand out with the bat. Go you good thing micky!

Sorry, but are you for him or against him? Make up your mind!

cjfb is nsr personified.

Cleavy, Bigdick and trollender, you all desperately need a life.

"Cleavy, Bigdick and trollender, you all desperately need a life."

Oh look...a troll...someone poke it with a stick.

"trollender"

Taken literally, that name is quite a compliment. Thank you kindly, sir.

"And about time Martyn got some runs. And Ponting (!) chipping in."

News Flash, everyone!!!! It is a real surprise when Ricky Ponting scores runs. Esecially in an ODI.

ILC has just attracted its first troll. Which I suppose is some kind of initiation rite.

If Cleavy (who Queen Dean the Unclean was too thick to even think of a 'funny' name for), BD or Tails want I can Mortein him. Let me know. I suspect he might be a regular ILX maker of trouble, in search of a pond his size.

Well I wasn't ever going to ge here again, but:

in response to Doug posting about Tom Wills ...

"who is Tom Wills?" or words to that effect

Poor Doug will have a heart attack when he sees that.

We are not here to be nasty, pie. This is the only practical alternative to putting fists through screens when reading her efforts.

A safe outlet for for the frustration, aggravation and stress she creates.

BTW, who is Tom Wills?

Ever heard of the Wills tobacco company?

Nothing to do with them.

He basically invented Australian Rules football, based on a game he remembered watching Aborigines playing when he was a child. Michael Thomas of Weddings Parties Anything wrote a song about him.

Gee, thanks, Fred.

BTW, are you familiar with the term NSR?

"I had my doubts whether we'd even make 200, we've made it, but only just."

4th ODI. After the 41st over.

I did wonder Tails but let's face it, if you turned up on Mastermind the AFL would probably not be your specialist topic.

I wonder how familiar the name William Webb Ellis was to a lot of AFL fans before last November.

Subject: Are mergers feasible/likely? post id: 299693

Any support for a merger between SA/Tasmania or some other teams, along the lines of the AFL? I know I will be shot down in flames for even suggesting it, but let's face it, it's either that or allocating their batsmen to the second-string pool of talent.
Continuing on from my earlier comments, generational change needs to come into the sides quicker than it currently is. Criticism has been levelled at CA and the NSW management for hanging onto the Waughs for too long; look around the other teams, people.

Surely it's time to promote the Cosgroves of the nation and to retire the Lehmanns, Blewetts, Coxs, etc., as good as they have been. Get real and into a new century/phase of the game, fellas.

My head hurts after reading this!

England has Ted Dexter. Queensland had Joh. The ABC Forum has Ms Aqua-Addled.

LOL! A merger in a six team competition. Sheer genie ar5e ha ha.

regards,

REB

just had a bit of a flick through the abc forum...it seems a sad place. Few threads have debates of any length which I guess is what the abc wanted. People state their views in very strident ways. It seems beyond a bit of personality disfunction airing ...it seems void of humour...

I do not believe the pre moderation abc was as virulent and empty headed as this... I hope not anyway

it is all junk now

Whereas this forum is a buzzing hive of activity LOL. I missed the Troll! Damm!!

regards,

REB

As if this wasan't bad enough:
"Aus 7/198 (50); SL won by 3 wickets.

We had to let them win ONE I suppose."

She follows up with this:

"But there ARE better blokes than Blewett and Lehmann, though who they are is beyond me."

Of course the place wasn't this bad before pre-mod. About the same number of stupid, bitchy or plain ignorant comments, but they were generally overwhelmed by the quantity of well-informed, intelligent, sensible, humorous and witty stuff.

Except VoR, of course. ;)

But VoR is a special case. He can pontificate to Olympic standard. He can never be overwhelmed. He is an immovable bulwark against tidal-waves of reasonablenes and intelligence.

Meanwhile, the lunatics have well and truly taken over Nath's asylum....it's all ccc. shortie and ta40.

VoR is ok unless riled...unhappily he is riled easily...atm he is running some sook poll as an attack on Mathew, who has taken him to task over his statistical methods...agree with Fred's comments

Naths forum never had a chance because Nath didn't give a f**k about it. What hope does a forum have if the owner/moderator doesn't give a damn?

I can't be there 24/7...

Speaking of VoR's sook poll, where the hell has it gone?

When I logged off yesterday afternoon he was getting visibly off-pissed with me for pulling up his grammar ('Whom is the biggest sook?', FFS??? I'm not in OP's league as a grammar nazi and nor do I want to be but when somebody errs on the pretentious side I will always pull it up) and next time I look in the whole thread's disappeared.

you are correct FN...it has been pulled...a toss up between whether Mat complained and asked for its deletion or whether VoR cracked up due to the attacks he generated and asked for deletion himself...my last post on that thread was the issue was a "Sook off" between the two...good for the C4 mod to do some editorial work

And exactly how were you proposing that this 'World Series Sook-Off' be conducted?

crikey I have not given thought to that beyond their efforts at stand off appeared more sook off....what do you reckon?

chucking wobblies at 10 paces?....structured laments on the injustice of
"CCairns not being considered a champ"... Mat
"Langer not being considered as the 2nd greatest left opener in the history of the game"...VoR

"Langer not being considered as the 2nd greatest left opener in the history of the game"...VoR

Behind Graeme Wood of course.

teehee...that Wood be a test, even for VoR to sustain that one...maybe we could think about a thread where Mat has to make a case for CC to be a champ of sobers proportion and VoR has to make the cases for woodie and langer in the pantheon...bit like a debate I guess...others could vote on who made the best case and who was the sookiest

So with everybody else getting involved at the end it would become like a big mass debate?

""would become like a big mass debate""

hmmn...more like a big mess...maybe it is not a good idea...but hey it is March

from the clueless one

I just logged on to the old forum, to find it's 90% cj with other wisdom offered by jock clark and poor old High and Long, who at least posts cricket-related topics, though there are rarely replies these days.

If Nath's and this forum are country backwaters struggling to survive, the old abc forum is a ghost town populated only by a few demented hoboes.

C4 is a circus - it at least has some life; sideshow alley is crazy, but there are one or two class acts there.

Besides the obvious RATFLMAO response to the idea of Queensland winning, I could have sworn Love went in before Bichel.

From next season I believe. Who and how good are Hampshire and where arehey placed in the scheme of county cricket.Do they Need Warney and how did they get him.?"

Oh, and Tails? We'll have no viscisious behavior here. Save your viscisiosity for C4 please.

"how did they get him"
