The way things are going, and the weather forecast for tomorrow, the third test is heading for a draw. If England want to force a victory, declaring now is better. Bowler friendly conditions, and at the Aussies whilst they will be attacking the ball, is better than waiting for tomorrow when they can just block if they want.

What are your thoughts? Isn't it better to try to force a victory, rather than take the conservative choice. It's probably not what Ponting would be expecting.

... and paint little lines around *all* of the pot-holes in the road, so they will all be filled in? Rather than having 3 men turn up, fill the one hole that is designated, leaving behind half a dozen others that they will come back to fill a week later.

I admit that it annoys me. They fill one pothole even though there are others almost as bad a few feet away. Then clear off, only to come back later when the others get deeper. If they filled them all, then others wouldn't happen. Potholes create potholes. Just fill them all(!)

...that little sparkle just came into his eyes - and I've a feeling he's off again. Will Tracey be screaming "Wendy Crozier" all over again (from behind bars of course!)

What is his magic?

It's often said "that's easier said than done", which is typically true. But what things are easier done than said?

Off the top of my head, I can think of 'procrastinate' and 'nothing'. Any more?

Thank you for your time.

... if you happen to be on your tod on the night, and in need of decent entertainment?

Happy New Year ... have that wee nip o' whisky ready ... :-)

And, how do you rate this in your 'all time faves'? Do you think being the first one has coloured your opinion of it?

Thank you muchly for your time.

(by 'album' I mean 'music album' in case there is any confusion)

... not that tough I found.

Did you wear pink today?

If not pink, then what colour is really the hardest to wear?

... and why (if you can recall the reason for that!)

And if you don't know what I'm talking about, then you've never visited Liang Shan Po (!)

Yes/No - and have you always, or is this a 'modern' trend?

I have never really, but am trying one now. I really think it's better to get your vitamins through a good, balanced diet, but am being advised to take vitamins now ...

Poll: Red Wine or White Wine

... or are you tough enough to take a plain one?

Poll: American, British, other (please specify)

Thank you for you time :-)

...so not too good in the pairs, but will storm back in the singles?

Okay - not happening right now, but you have the feeling ...

The second set seemed to be Murray at his best, and even if he loses tonight, he seems to be on a par with the world number 1.

Do you think Murray is now capable of taking an open title?

... what with 'Gail' and 'boob tube' in the same sentence, and Dev barely covered by a sheet, should ITV be issuing warnings regarding taste and decency?

Shudder.

Let's see more of the nice people ... Emily selling some boooooks; Ken walking the dog ...

... and if so, do you recall when you heard the expression and who explained it to you?

For me, it was my dear old mum, in hushed tones, as befits such a subject!

Aaargh ... the chinless wonder in close-up. It's more than my stomach can handle. Make it stop.

... there's a question in there somewhere, honest!

... is that something that you do (like, under your pj's or whatever attire is your preference).

Or do you discard that garb come beddy-byes?

And, just cos I'm collecting stats ... could you let me know if you are from the US, the UK, or elsewhere (yes, I know other countries do exist, but I'm going on a majority split).

Thank you kindly for your time and effort.

I can remember that all churches used to be open 24/7 when I was growing up. But vandalism and theft caused them to be locked when not 'in use'.

Do the churches near to you get locked? Are you bothered, or just, so what?

Poll: Basil Brush or Sooty?

This 'week' has been going on for 10 days so far. Maybe Y! have promised to re-launch 360 "this week" so can't let last week end? :-)

Just a question.

(I do have a lot of punctuation - thanks)

And if not, how else would you describe it?

Poll: 4 thin fingers, or one thick, big one (Kit-kats)?

... outside of the obvious one - anything else that you really recall?

I'm put in mind as a night of it starts up on beeb2. Classic.
