"What's cricket? ;-)"

Someone famous described it as "a cross between baseball and death".
Not my words, please don't throw balls at me

Sad news Simon but fully understandable, I would sooner no Ilford instant film than no Ilford.
Thanks for trying.

Regards Paul.

Ammend that to "some members of the soi disant British Empire that speak English".

Just poking fun. I've probably gotten myself into a sticky wicket!

I read that a high school in NY has introduced the noble sport recently - it's much like baseball but with less running.

Try Lacrosse or Jai Alai.

"Rugby, we should play Rugby."
"What are the rules?"
"What rules"?

i would agree.
property in the 128-loop / boston area is worth a pretty penny.

I know what cricket is; I built a cricket pitch in my basement as a kid.

Now that there's about a page of comments about my less-than-serious post, could someone please direct me to the Ilford Press Release? I can't spend another 5 hours looking for it; I'd like to post it in the photo department so they can pull more of tehir hair out trying to figure out what the HELL they are going to do next semester.
