Mark Davies’ England call-up demands some new exclamations

One to watch veteran, Mark Davies, has finally been called into the England squad. If he plays a Test, it is not acceptable to use mundane exclamations like ‘well bowled!’

The obvious substitutes are ‘hammer of Thor!‘ and ‘great Odin’s raven!‘ but if you tire of shouting those, here are three more to add to your repertoire:

  • Heimdall’s trumpet!
  • Sons of Ivaldi!
  • Gullinbursti’s glowing mane!

We heartily recommend WG Grace Ate My Pedalo by Alan Tyers

    How about ‘Broddly gook!”

    Or that favourite of Katherine Hepburn’s characters, “Oh, my sainted Aunt”.

    Or even Prince George in Blackadder ‘Oh my sainted trousers!”.

    You will not win the lottery

    Let’s see how that goes.

    ‘By the cult of the damned of Guyana!’

    By the Breastplate of Freya – am totally delighted – just hope that the King’s Evil does not dish the Viking’s leg when he’s so close to glory

    Or what about ‘Shane’s maiden ton!”

    No, that just sounds funny.

    One could never tire of ‘bring forth the Mongoose’!

    It would add a little extra hilarity to Mark’s exploits as a nightwatchman too.
