Comments From the British Peanut Gallery: Men Are Universal

Some blurbs and shoutouts from various online commentators of the 7th and deciding cricket match in the ODI series between England and India, on the same day England is also playing Israel in an important Euro 2008 qualifier and England is also beginning its defense of the Rugby World Cup championship by playing its innagrial match in the 2007 Rugby Union World Cup against those minnows from across the pond, the USA.


"I've got my TV from the bedroom down to the lounge next to my other TV ready for the footy and rugby ko at 5, laptop at the ready for the cricket. You might think I'm all sorted but after a potentially great day for English sport I want to go out and celebrate with the lads, and ideas how I can get rid of the missus for the evening?"

"Be interesting to see the birth-rate statistics for nine months time should England manage to win the cricket, rugby and football all in one day..."
Andrew, Khartoum


"My wife's gone out for the afternoon and left me at home with our eight-week old daughter with strict instructions to feed her at 5, then bath her at 6. Do I have reasonable grounds for divorce?
Jim, Birmingham


"Given that 90% of British males will be relegated by the missus to the spare room or the sofa tonight, I expect the global population will experience a much need downward trend in nine months time. However the ozone layer may be terminally injured by noxious emissions from both ends of aforementioned British males later on, it's a double-edged ecological conundrum."
Terry, Cardiff
