This thread seems to be coming unfortunately prophetic. 11 11 11 11 11 11 etc. Back in the days when cricket was on terrestrial TV, he captained a Somerset team containing Ian Botham, Viv Richards and Joel Garner inter alia. Perhaps by comparison, Peter struck me as a civilized, modest Englishman. RIP I think I'll cry even more than usual when I hear Nimrod at the Cenotaph in a couple of hours.

The picture is of the queen being introduced to the England cricket team, at the point of being introduce to DโOliveira. The speech bubble has her saying "I hear you've been blackballed", to which he replies "Since birth, Ma'am". Paul |

I was in a pub (Earlham Road, Norwich) in 1992, chatting to a girl I had never met before (as one used to do). I casually mentioned football. "Not interested in it". I persist a bit: "Couldn't you even name a footballer you like?" "Gary Speed". David |
