That's exactly what we said this morning when listening to the latest
weepathon. You'd have to have a heart of stone not to laugh out loud.

Particularly satisfying after watching Smith's performance a few weeks
ago sniggering and gurning through the press conference about the
Bairstow "head butt". Karma has bitten him in the butt - and in the
bank balance.

“Weepathon”.....brilliant.

Did an Ozzie head but someone and laugh? Whoever/whatever that sounds
disgraceful.

All this sounds like extreme narcissism on a group scale with the usual
implosion of self when confronted with a reality that knocks them off their
perch.

Would I be right in thinking the England were probably quite beatable
without cheating? Aiui cricket isn’t played much by our yoof except in
private clubs and private schools? We have a small pool of talent today?

No, Johnny Bairstow in his bluff Yorkshire fashion apparently greets
people by bumping heads with them. When he did this with Bancroft he
apparently accepted it at the time, but then they blew it up into
something it wasn't and gave an interview where their giggling made it
clear that they knew they were making a mountain of a molehill.

They are a very fragile team at the moment and would probably have lost
the Ashes anyway, but we'll never know how much cheating went on in
Aus., which may have been more subtle, or may have been "missed" by the
Aussie TV company providing the coverage, or may have been completely
absent. There were certainly some occasions when the ball started to
reverse swing unexpectedly...

Thank you. The intricacies of top quality sport are amazing; even though I
am generally disinterested. It makes me appreciate how good the excellent
are in their field. I have a good eye for a ball but have never played
anything competitively. I write as one much relieved the winter Olympics

As far as I'm concerned, it has (already, and I'm sure there is a _lot_
more to come) had too much coverage altogether. Yes, I agree with you
that he's not that believable, but my overall reaction is WHO CARES?
_Not_ that I mean I endorse cheating - I don't! - just that I feel it's
been given far too high a proportion of news minutes. (Not that this is
unusual - sport often exceeds its allocation, at least for we
non-sporting types. It's not as if there aren't lots of channels, even
free ones: if there are people who feel it _does_ deserve the level of
coverage it gets, they should split the news [which a lot of the time is
duplicated on two channels, usually 231 and 2 or 231 and 1, anyway].)

My pleasure. And those of us who remember this:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cricket/international/theashes/10256311/Ashes-2013-send-England-cheat-Stuart-Broad-back-home-in-tears-says-Australia-coach-Darren-Lehmann.html
might possibly be forgiven for feeling some schadenfreude at this:
https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/cricket/darren-lehmann-resigns-australia-coach-12272495

It's not just the premeditated, group-planned cheating and subsequent
lying (although that is simply appalling in itself), it's also the
sententious piousness with which those concerned have presented
themselves to the public for years while behaving quite abominably on
the field.

My apologies to those who think there has been disproportionate
attention given to this, but to those of us who have loved the game for
decades this really does matter. I also think that honesty and
integrity in all aspects of public life are important. I do accept,
though, that in the grand scheme of things and especially current
geopolitical developments, it's not of the highest significance.

Thanks for acknowledging that. I _do_ concede that cricket is an

It's hard to know, but I suspect that the quantity and prominence of the
coverage might even have been greater. The tone would probably have
been a good deal more sorrowful, though.

To a great extent the Australians have brought this on themselves; they
have very few friends left in world cricket because of their behaviour
for many years (hence all the talk of the "culture" of the Australian
team) and a great many people - including me - view this as a welcome
come-uppance. I would not feel the same if it had been, say, New
Zealand who have a well-deserved reputation for decency and honesty in
the way they play. They are rivals, too, but I respect them greatly for
the way they conduct themselves[1] and would have been genuinely upset
and sad if it had been them; with the Aussies I'm afraid I just feel
contempt and have no sympathy whatsoever for any of them, self-pitying
tears or no.

I am most reassured to find I'm not alone in not knowing whether we won
or lost! I won't say not _caring_; although I don't _follow_ cricket, I
do feel a slight satisfaction when we're doing well - not least because
of the pleasure I know that brings to many, including severats. But
perhaps it does sum up the unbalanced coverage of this matter that any
actual result of matches has made less impression on me.

I'm pretty sure it would have been. Remember the fuss, a few weeks ago,
with the cycling world in uproar about the Sky team's, in general, and
Bradley Wiggins', in particular, use of asthma medication. The thing
which made me particularly cross about that was to hear representatives
of the cycling PTB expressing shock and outrage about this, while making
it clear that no rules had actually been broken. Given that they,
presumably, had considerable influence over the rules, then if Sky's
behaviour was so far beyond the pale surely it was TPTB's responsibility
to write the rules appropriately.

There's a certain amount of resentment of Sky, too. Subjectively I feel
it too, though objectively I can see that they're just one of many
commercial companies responsible for the commercialisation of sport.

What does "lamped" mean please?

Equivalent to thumped.

Oh dear. Some sort of slang I guess. I wonder what the origins are.

Not sure.
Cassells says it is early 19thc to beat, to strike, to thrash. Possibly a
version of to lam or lamb - lambaste.
It doesn't turn up in the Oxford Slang dict in this context at all.

Lamp is certainly related to eyes but lam really does seem a more likely
root - to lam into = to beat up.

I think lamps=eyes is right. There's a suggestion of blacking one's
adversary's eyes. It surprises me a little that manyrats are unfamiliar
with this usage, but then I'm learning new words all the time even at my
advanced age.

Next week: "malky", and how it relates to osculatory activity in the

I've come across the verbs to lamp and to lump in Rosie's usage. I'm
not sure about this, but ISTR that in Nottingham, Derby and environs
people used to "lump him one", while further north they tended to lamp
rather than lump. (The physical outcome was similar.) However, this
could be complete tosh because my memory is, frankly, rubbish these days.

As therat who asked about this may I say I get the possibility of lump
transitioning to lump.
As I have spent only a short spell North of Watford* I tend to agree it may
be Northern in origin with the vowel sounds subject to local custom..
I now recall my Mother saying “land him one” with the meaning of landing a
punch. Parents came from Kent.

*a year or two near Hull. I do realise there is no aitch in ull. 🙂

Indeed not. It's 'Ull with a hapostrophe. It's near 'Essle (pronounced
'Ezzle) and 'Edon, and on the 'Olderness Plain. Other nearby delights
are With, a decayed seaside town that never was; Driff, a pleasant
market town which has, or used to have 40 years ago, a rather excellent
pie shop; Brid, the 'Ub of the Huniverse and land of fleshpots,
fish'n'chips and kittiwakes.

Best fish and chips ever in Brid. We have friends with a farm at
Aldbrough, up the coast from With. Bits of their land keep dropping off.

I knew them all! We lived near With; bit of a culture shock as I had never
come across the sale of jugs of tea for t’ beach. Nor had I seen brown
sea! Also shocked to see females wandering around ‘Ull on a Saturday with
large rollers very nearly covered with a headscarf! Not keen on the smell
of fish around the Land of Green Ginger on warm days.

I think I hated the place but always loved the people. I loved their
straight talking, their humour and their genuine natures. Have recently
been listening “To ‘ull and Back on R4”
Imho it was much much funnier than this show portrays. Marcus Briggstock
got it spot on, when he was “in town” there.

As we have featured cricket both real and pretend here,I feel its ok to
snort my opprobrium at the current brouhaha over the Ozzie cheating
scandal. Seeing the cheating toad piping his eye over what he calls making
a mistake and I call distress at being caught, just winds me up. I get
really gritty when I hear what sounds like sympathy for his obvious
distress. Surely, he is a cocky little sh1t who is hugely embarrassed
for
being caught*. Oaiam?
Cheating seems to be endemic in the world. Not naive enough to think
its a
new concept but grizzling over being caught is only tolerable to me for an
under five year old.
*any suggestion that he isn’t the only one, does not change my attitude;
should this be your plea in mitigation for the little twerp.

YANAM. Couldn't have put it better myself. And seeing David Warner -
David bloody *Warner*, for heaven's sake - doing the same raises
whingeing hypocrisy to an even more exalted level.

As the wonderful Ian McMillan tweeted: if I'd sandpapered my balls, I'd
