Thank the lord for that.
The public school quota was starting to get dangerously low.
We seemed to have a lot of uncouth northerners and bally foreigners in the side.
Here’s to Lord Tweedy Brockett-Strauss.
A true gentleman cricketer.
He looks a little bit like Rasputin, trying to play a kazoo.
Fine piece of work Ceci!
How does Strauss propose to get round the smoking ban ? At the Oval there’s a “no smoking” sticker on every single seat. We did wonder whether the sticker company had said “yes, you definitely need one on every seat. Definitely. Without a doubt. No, alternate seats won’t do”.
I sincerely hope that the return of Lord Tweedy Brockett-Strauss will inject a little backbone and moral fibre into the highlighted, moisturised, ghd-wielding team. Tweed boxes all round, say I!
Tally ho.
There may be a “no smoking” sticker on every seat, but is there one at the batting crease? On middle stump? Out on the turf af 3rd man?
I think not.
No Smoking sticker makers, must have had a great 2007.
The building that I work in, has been no smoking for 10 years, and no one smoked in the building for that whole time.
Yet as soon as the smoking ban came in, they introduced hundreds of No Smoking signs, to a building that no-one smokes in, and never has!
Genius marketing./
