Does any member from a country where cricket is not a popular sport, know that the Cricket World Cup is being held in Australia atm?

No, they all think it's being held in NZ atm.

Are you volunteering to explain the (main?) rules to folk?

Apparently Oz invented the (cricket sense of the) word "sledging".

Well, to start with, there's 3 types of cricket. Test match can go for up to 5 days, one-day cricket and 20/20 cricket...

...Err, I think I might give this a pass.

There's a doco series happening atm on Sunday's. Australia - The History of Us. There was the story of John McDouall Stuart's expedition across Australia from South to North, Adelaide to what is no wknown as Darwin. The first such successful of it's kind.

Trekking through that part of Australia on horse and foot? That's beyond insanity! What worse? After reaching the Timor sea. Instead of spending some time there recovering. Stuart chose to head back to Adelaide the next day! That's is sadistic! Idiot! WHat the hell is wrong with you man!

Just quietly perched on the loo* when I spy a hairy leg under the door.

No, I wasn't browsing the infamous shemale thread, honest.

Turned out to be one of these:

So it's true, there are spiders in the toilets here.

The "little fella" (200mm across) is now outside feasting on bugs.

*toilet.

Isn't that what most people do... when they're on the loo? Spidey-spy or not?

I suppose I'd be at the right place at the right time.
