jLo and JBT - A Conversation with Thoughtful Pauses:
jLo: Hey, JBT. You know about English words and cricket: is Simon Jones a chav?
JBT: No, jLo. Why would you think that?
jLo: It was a topic of conversation during the Ashes last year. It was the first time I’d heard the term, and it has oft made me wonder.
JBT: Well, no. Simon Jones is not a chav.
(Thoughtful pause)
JBT: In fact, he is Welsh.
jLo: Oh.
JBT: He won us the Ashes, you know.
jLo: I thought so too.
(Thoughtful pause)
jLo: He won’t do it again, though.
JBT: You’re probably right.
(Not a thoughtful pause, just a lull in the conversation)
jLo: I was the subject of much heckling when I confessed that I thought he was quite hot.
JBT: Really? I think he’s a good looking fellow. Not that I’m gay or owt.
(Thoughtful pause)
JBT: Sort of like a cross between Skeletor and a greyhound.

Re Simon Jones is a chav: don't listen to 'em jLo. Chav is as chav does.
Nice work, you guys. Ed, I don't think C&B counts as a separate one (though that a disputed point in the conversation) which means there are still two to go...
what ed said plus
. 6 and out
. Over the fence
. Playing like a girl
Am also deeply disappointed that being a Chav and being Welsh appear to be mutually exclusive.
"Playing like a girl?" Is that fair?
BTW - "Skeletor and a greyhound." That made me laugh and laugh.
Maybe Tewnty20 cricket could employ method 12: the popular vote via SMS.
To dismiss Ricky Ponting text "out" to 1900...
That's quite an idea, Ed. Though your thumb would get sore with the all the "HAYDEN" "HAYDEN" "PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, HAYDEN" texts you would send.
The two y'all missed are: 'interfering with the field', and 'hit twice'.
You're welcome.
Eleri, I thought JBT was in fact standing up for the good people of Welshland by excluding them from the chav population. Though I think he would agree with you on the 'six and out' rule...
Why can't we be chavs?
I'm so sick of being quaint and wearing that pointy stupid hat and cooking leeks and cheese on toast. Oh yeah ... and all that singing at the rugby. Oh wait, wrong game. What ARE the Welsh doing playing cricket more to the point?
12: Tamper with ball and forfeit match.
Failing a dope test.
a tricky area for the jamaican side.
