Instead of.

At least I can stay awake during QI. because QI stands for Quite Interesting, whereas cricket is totally uninteresting :roll:

Mr Keats I gather by the standard of your question that your education requires further education

QI is a TV panel show from Britain, chaired by Stephen Fry in which interesting and amazing facts are discussed in a type of quiz mixed up with comedians banter. Very Nerdsville :lol:

Up yours too Bill. ;) You've never said a nice word to me in years and I've never even bloody met ya! Keep your rudeness to yourself.

Hey Marty, check out Guerilla Cricket Radio online. Bloody hysterical. No punches pulled. They are Poms, but it's the most off beat commentary I've ever heard.

Hey Nev, what channel is this show on?

Marty, a poetry quote is a rare and elusive thing in the sports arena, worth noticing. ;)


Glenny, the English language is always evolving, "should of" will most probably become the standard orthodoxy, eventually.
Same as " I ain't never done nothing " will probably pass into accepted usage. Shudder :(
