Now that's more like the inspired lunacy I've come to expect from my fellow countrymen.

More of this sort of madness and less of the madness that erodes civil liberties, please.

Absolutely agreed.

And that kind of lunacy's what's made your country so great. I also wish we'd imported more of it to Canada. (we do get some though *heh*)

Who needs to be great when you can be (in the best possible sense) creatively bonkers?
Much more fun, and what we should be doing. What we all should be doing, never mind nationality, religion, or race.

Absolutely 100% agreed.
It's one of the reasons I'm into Mad Science :)

Bah humbug

I bet they're not picking up all of those 40 balls, are they? So more litter on what should be totally unspoilt. Can we talk about why anyone thinks that having a game of cricket on a glacier is helpful> How much is this costing? How much could this amount of money buy for . And all for a game of cricket, seemingly only for shits and giggles.

Apologies for being on the end of my misanthropic rants. You know why though - at least partially. Unfortunately, this is just the tip of the iceberg (don't fret - nothing dramatic). As discussed - fucking Quaker education.

Honestly, sour grapes from an Australian...just because you guys didn't do it first....or is it about the Rugger?

You do have a point however, but I can never dismiss good old fashion eccentrically lunatic*, fun. It's not as if they're Clarkson & the Boys.

*Redundancy redundancy repetition repetition.....
