Lancastrians

To the huge list of amazing achievements by fellow Lancastrians, as charted by Wikipedia, the name of Jimmy Anderson must be added if he doesn't already appear. 600 Test Match wickets now, making him the most successful pace bowler of all time. Incredible skill, stamina and sheer will power mark him out as very special We should all be toasting him as proud Lacastrians. A knighthood surely awaits.

Well played that man. Still a few wickets left in him yet.

However, the honours system is a farce, so I won't be pushing for it.

To think they were writing him off a few weeks ago, well done Jimmy!

Honours system a farce? Do you really think so, Boncey?

So do I.

I totally agree, total farce.

I refused my MBE.

The House of Lords wants sorting out too!!

Over 800 old gits in there now, if they ever turn up.

I think you are getting it confused with Bolton Nuts?

800?

More like 15 nutters.

Out of 1,041 members - if they ever turned up.

Now see the similarities between the two?

Ask any pensioner today, in the street, to ` roll us your Cap! ` and there will be less than one in a hundred can do it. Some wont even know what it means.

Count me in on that. What does it mean?

Wasn't it something said in a TV advert?

I am surprised no-one knows. It is when you get your flat cap in one hand, then you lean forward, and allow it to roll on its edge along one arm, behind your head ( across the neck ) and roll along the other arm into your other hand.
It isnt easy. Back in the 80`s there were lots of Pensioners who could do that.

OK, thanks. Although when i think about it, there's no real alternative is there?

I can't remember many old blokes doing this. I've just tried it with mine and it went into the washing up.

I'm now being accused of being senile.

Being unable to roll your cap doesnt manifest from senility. It is a difficult trick to do. One must practise.

I'll practice in secret.

The more I immerse moi-meme in the French languauge, the more my English spelling deteriorates.

OAP`s neednt practise rolling their caps in secret. It is nothing to be ashamed of. Keir Starmer will soon be practicing it on his allotment while speaking up for all of Britains traitors.

The OAP next door says we are a Vassal State to Brussels.
