Room 101 - Pet Hates

I was quite young at the time, and not grumpy at all!!

May I respectfully suggest that as an American you stick to watching wimps dressed up like Michelin Men playing so-called football? You can leave the study of the arcane rules of cricket to the existing worldwide audience including the 1.7 billion fanatics in the Indian sub-continent and a few aficionados like me in darkest Africa.

I am not in the least bit grumpy either! I think we shall half the library down there by the time Her Pinkness has finished!

Hmm you two are clearly deluded... I would therefore like to add deluded grumps to the room 101 list... thank you very much

Oh and weather forecasters... they are simply useless!!

I prefer basketball myself, more the collegiate variety rather than pro, or even lacrosse.

But if you think American "football" to be so wimpy, feel free to don one of those "Michelin Man" outfits and take a hit from a 250-pound linebacker similarly attired. Since the helmet and pads are hardened, not soft, it makes the game more dangerous, not less. The players, thus "weaponized," are empowered to unleash themselves toward far more violent collisions (aided by the platooning of players which keeps them ever-fresh, rather than tiring, throughout the contest). Rugby has, to its credit, avoided this mis-step.

SPEAKING of "Michelin Man" get-ups - what about those ridiculous pads worn in cricket?



Oh, quit your squabbling, would you? Geesh.

For a horrible moment I thought that was "denuded grumps"...

Could be arranged Now get back in that room

We're not squabbling - I like that word - I am merely putting them in room 101 where they belong!

And I am putting the Pink Angelic one in there just as soon as we get the trapdoor widened sufficiently to squeeze that huge bum in!!

PS Alef told me to say that!

Oh my God, I must have sleepwalking again. Lucky I didn't stumble down that trap door.
