This is no doubt proof, at least to some of the gun lobby, that the Corot-Exo-7beebians are infiltrating Earth as ticket scalpers. The "battles" at Lords and the Oval may well take an unusual turn this coming year, though as long as we beat the Aussies I care little for the fate of the Earth itself, having found it otherwise dull and somewhat demanding on my patience. Manchester is no longer even fit to hold a Test Match. Sky have the tv rights and it costs the Earth (clearly a small amount given my previous admissions!) to get Sky Sports. I understand too, that one is forced not only to watch the cricket as a necessary holy pleasure, but also forced to watch monster truck racing as penance, along with endless re-runs of 1970s television that makes one mistakenly believe one had left the time machine on in the kitchen. You seem a splendid fellow Ian, of the type that listens to Ladies of Letters on Radio 4, wishing they hadn't changed the name from the Home Service.
