I blame The Apprentice. Nobody did it before they started doing it.

Vintage "Embassy Vouchers" certificate with a blue and white design. The text reads "FIVE Embassy Vouchers" above a slogan, "Embassy - The Best in Smoking" and a mailing address for an "Embassy Catalogue" from W.D. & H.O. Wills in Glasgow. A large number "5" is in a decorative crest on the left.

A coupon/voucher in each packet. The smoker could collect them and exchange them for goods. I recall that people had to save a lot to get not much. I assume the shopkeeper bought and sold them to their advantage.

I've had a low grade headache across my forehead for a few days. Dr Internet days is a tension headache. I mentioned to Mrs TweekySenior that I still had it this morning to which she replied "Brain tumour".

Off his feet, not really in control, studs showing, trailing leg scissors through, endangering an opponent so, yes, a red for me. Not much, if any, complaints from our players, which is usually a good indication.

I have similar opportunities when people talk about Colin Montgomerie and James Milner. I just say I've played against them. I just don't say 'at cricket'. Good cricketer as a kid was Monty.

They're very common where I live, but I don't think I've ever heard them make a sound!

New Zealand. With Crowe, against Greatbatch. Greatbatch was out first ball I bowled to him. When I tell people this, unless pressed for more detail, I don't tell them it was run out. πŸ™‚

Played with or against two in that line up.

You can't expect the officials to see everything that goes on in the box at corners. It's chaos. Inevitably, they are likely to punish what they see.

February was our 'Core Training' month, of which one module was cyber-security. No, it's not OK.

Just realised we didn't pay the quiz team's bar tab last night. I shall despatch one of the retired team members to go and be penitent in front of the landlord.
