Great 5 days! Each one different, my highlights were the hat trick on day one, and the mammoth england innings. Day 5 was just a joyous celebration and will live long in the memory. I only wish I could get to the MCG for Boxing day or SCG to see England win the series.

We had so many fat lookalikes in our section, Michael Vaughan, Ryan Sidebottom, Adam Gilchrist, Dennis Lillee, and Uncle Albert

A Qantas spokeswoman said the fault was only minor and asked all passengers to be patient.
"We apologise for the minor delay," she said.
One airport official joked with brisbanetimes.com.au on condition of anonymity: "We're actually keeping them here to mess with their minds."
Are the folks in Adelaide as witty?

Re: Ashes 2010 thread. Who's gonna win?
Soooooo funny, I walked into work tonight, there is a loud conversation going on about AFL and what a great sport it is and how it is the biggtest sport in the countr and no point in bothering with anything else
I managed to get a word in to ask if anyone had watched the cricket and apparently after the first day no-one bothered at all because "the Aussies are going to win all the other matches, not that it matters cos cricket is an old and boring sport...." Talk about sore losers!!!! I said I thought it was a good match all round but no, they thought it was appalling and the two who did watch reckon that Ponting put up the best all round performance
