Yes it has. The string is a bit worn but the tin of peas I use you can hear pretty clearly. Its a pitty we also have tv with the world cup coming up with Scotland not playing but England supposed to winning it without a ball being kicked.

You know you're a footy freak when you start talking about the World Cup on a rounders forum!

cdheer · 05-30-2006, 04:36 PM

Unless aliens come along and turn all of the Englishmen into Scots.

Even though Scotland lost in their first match against Brazil in 1998 I thought that they put up a great fight amd have always respected them for it.

I wish there was more baseball in Scotland but it would be hard to see the ball with all the snow in july.

I have to rely on watching the game on satelite and trying to manager a dynasty in Ootp.

Oh, you noticed that as well?

Shame that there isn't some sort of way to start my download in the afternoon from work and have it done by the time I get home.

Modern technology is rubbish!

PS Hi everyone!!!

professorrev · 05-30-2006, 05:22 PM

Tell me about it. I've missed appointments 'cause I didn't know what time it was in parts of Indiana.

Can't wait, can't believe this time tomorrow I'll finally be playing the game I've been waiting for so long to play

I think that you do a marvelous job at your place of employment. I can tell that you are one of, if not the best and most valuable assets that SI has had the privilege to employ. I am truly honored to be able to post this message in a thread you started. Might I add the title, 5/31 - Release day schedule, was a stroke of genius on your part. I have never seen you in person or even a photo, but I would bet that it's safe to say that you are a strikingly handsome man and your body is chiseled from stone. I beg you to take all of these valid points into consideration and respond within 4 minutes.

Forever yours,

Russ
