I have returned! True Healing!

[Simon Darkshade]

I am now back. Hand was broken in three places, little finger knuckle and side of hand, but most finger intact and now movable.
Breaks were somehow in the wrong location to require a cast, a fact I am quite content with. Lucky, it was my left, and I am a right hander, so have done most of my typing.
I hate deadlines for boring assignments!

Still have a 5000 word paper on foreign policy to do by the 19th, and a few more 1000 worders tonight, but the burden is lifted, my brethren.

Let there be general rejoicing and feasting. let the maidens dance gaily in the streets, for the Evil One is come to displace the pretenders to his throne!

Still am typing slowly, so will dispense with unnecessary adverbs and articles

Thank you to all those who wished me well; I am sure you had something to do with mein recovery.

And to the doctors at the Iosef Stalin institute, who cut off my hand and replaced it with a very chique claw

And BTW, Mongol Horde, my dear old chap, I see your mob lost to Pakistan! Of all the people. Tsk tsk tsk tsk. 8 wickets in a session lost. Better get used to it, as this will be a very interesting summer.

Welcome back oh moderately evil one.

At least we losed to countries and not second division counties I quote from www.cricinfo.com

This was not the sort of preparation Australia would have wished for in their penultimate match before the limited-overs NatWest series. They were beaten comfortably, by six wickets, by second division county Middlesex.

Chasing a modest 233, the Middlesex batsmen seemed to be in no trouble at any stage against the six bowlers that the tourists used. Australia's sole early success came in the sixth over when Andy Strauss (15) skied his drive to extra cover off Nathan Bracken. Thereafter, the match was almost entirely in Middlesex's control.

I saw some of the highlights and I thought middlesex were playing a pub team, it was quite embarassing. Looks like the Aussies will be able to put some extra duty free in the case which the ashes were brought in.

That is the one day team, and they ain't a patch on the Test bunch. Besides, they were paid to lose, most probably. Anyone seen Salim Malik or Hansie around Lords in the last few days.
You would not have a hope if they had bought out Warwick Todd, the single most greatest batsman in the history of the five multiverses.

and what is this "moderately evil" stuff?
Where is the respect in todays Worcestershire men????!!!

I just live in Worcester mate. I am a Yorkshireman born and bred, the best cricketing county in the country. We are top of the league already and that is with all our best players never playing becuase they are with the England team.

 

[Simon Darkshade]

Oh God!!!
That explains so very much.......

A fellow Tyke, MH?! Yay! I thought I recognised that dour sense of humour.
I'm an East Riding man by upbringing, quitting the county when I was 18 to try and civilize the rest of the kingdom.

We Yorkshiremen are the most well-balanced people you will meet: we have a chip on <u>both</u> shoulders.

Simon, welcome back (you weren't gone that long

), and we're all glad the hand is not bad, and not your writing hand

Good luck with the papers

What evil pact did you have to make with

to achieve this miraclous healing? Does it have anything to do with an Indian bookmaker, Fat Boy Warne and a five nil result for the Aussies?

drives a hard bargain (from what I hear) which means he has probably exacted a high price from you. As you've long since sold your soul to the Evil One what else is left? Ohh my God! He hasn't made you - join the Young Liberals??? Arrrgh!!!! (andycapp runs from the room shrieking with horror).

But regains composure long enough to say, "welcome back 'your Evilness' glad to see your evil presence will once again pervade these forums".
