Yep, you got it. It was just a trick after all.

And I think this thread was dragged along a little too long.
The same facts on about every page, with a few months of break in between...

What, so, Gigner beer or Ginger ale ?

Damn Spider pig

One: Welcome LondonWolf!

Two: Please refrain from using Textspeak. Not only is it really annoying, it's also really hard to understand if you are a non-native English speaker
or, as some members, are dyslexic.

So:
- U is usually written as "You"
- 2 is usually written as "To" (or "Too" or "Two", but in your above sentence it was "To")
- Owell --> "Oh well"
- may b --> "maybe"
- 1 --> "one"

Three: Bold and Italic? If you feel that your post won't stand out enough by content alone...

Four: Legitimate question: What is "it not cricket"?

_Light moves faster than sound. That is why some people appear bright, until you hear them speak._

"It's not cricket" means "It's not fair" - the person is not playing by the rules. It's a British expression.

Mrs G
The Garner who cares.

I suspected as much. I hadn't heard (or read) it before though... :-)

Well, like cricket, really, no-one outside the commonwealth will have heard of it especially you strange people in Dutchugal.

Damn Spider pig

It's also kind of ironic, given recent scandals, that its origins lay in the fact that cricket is supposed to be the epitome of fair play and sportsmanship.

Hah, I bet no self-respecting cricketer would ever call its kitten Socks when it was supposed to be called Cookie though...

Damn Spider pig

XD I just found out what the ginger beer trick is!! I saw it on TV (Dexter to be precise - A mexican guy was torturing someone) - shake up a bottle of ginger beer and fizz it up someone's nose. Sinuses, see? At long last! The answer!

Well, hm. This was posted in one of the first posts in this thread in August 2005:Not at quite so long last, but still, another source...
