Notes from the pavilion for October 24th

Links of note from the past 24 hours:

Monty Panesar: anymore pants?

2 years ago, mid-May

Did you know… Monty Panesar is an anagram of Anymore Pants? No, nor me. Arson Payment is another but my absolute favourite has to be YEARNS TAMPON!

Coat, getting, taxi, yep - I know the deal.

“Cricket” - a pet’s name?

3 years ago, at the start of April

With my Flickr fascination, I’ve been intrigued by the number of dogs, ferrets and cats that are named “Cricket.” I don’t think I could stretch that far, calling my dog Cricket, but it got me wondering. I hope to get a dog this year, or next (having for 23 years been solely a cat person), so I’ve been pondering what cricket-related names he or she could be named! Some thoughts…

Lord’s - nicknamed, probably, to Lordy
Richie / Benaud / Benny
Fine Leg!

Sensible ideas, stupid suggestions and rude alternatives all welcome in the comments…
