Tonk a Pom
By Will last year, at the end of October, 4 Comments »
Forgot to mention in the previous post that Ford are also offering Australians the chance to “tonk a Pom“, in case they wish to relive their glory days last season. Of course, no self-respecting Aussie would lower himself to such heinous activity, right?
4 Comments »Dice cricket - with a twist

Read and smile:
Creating entire Test Match Series of dice cricket, between teams of composers, with each composer’s role in the team based on his music - Haydn as a solid opening batsman, Berlioz as a flashy number 5, Debussy as a hypnotizing wrist-spinner. If I remember rightly, the Spanish composers XI went on a long unbeaten run, largely carried by Manuel De Falla’s magestic form at number 6, until they finally met their match in the Scandinavian XI.
From A Flickering Light. I too used to play “dice cricket,” a game rather appropriately called Howzat. They weren’t traditional dice (dices? die? Plural of “dice” please, ladies and gents) - I won’t bore you with the ins and outs, suffice to say it kept me amused for hours. (1 | 2)
