Right, some context if you're still with me...Australia v England cricket - Collingwood gives Warne some stick and gets in response "What was your MBE for - scoring 7 at the Oval?". Geoff Boycott is later heard to moan quite a bit about the unfairness of the honours system these days. Cue much discussion on the BBC website, which inevitably asks for comments from the public. Including this magical piece of non-punctuation...I swear it's a direct copy. "i think the mbe's are given out and about a bit to cheaply but shane warne comming out and saying what have you done for england. He is still a dam good player and yer warney can bring up the 7's and 10's but he doesent mension the time where collingwood hit 98 or smashing the aussies about for 206 and steven gerrard has probaly acheveid what has to be acheived i think he thurlery deserves it he won the chgampions leauge and they were 3-0 down against a perfectley deasent club yeah theres no point looking back on that game but its such a remarkable acheivment in english football what cant steven gerrard do you tell me he deserves evry bit of." How bad is that? Even before we start disagreeing with the content (such as it may be discerned), it's hardly English at all. But it's not txt-spk, it's just horrible.

I think he meant: "I think the MBEs are given out a bit too easily, but Shane Warne is coming out and saying what he has done for England. He is still a damn good player and Yer Warney can bring up the 7's and 10's, but he doesn't mention the time where Collingwood hit 98 or smashed the Aussies about for 206. Steven Gerrard has probably achieved what has to be acheived; I think he thoroughly deserves it. He won the Champions' League, though they were 3-0 down against a perfectly decent club. There's no point looking back on that game, but it's such a remarkable achievement in English football. What can't Steven Gerrard do, you tell me. He deserves every bit of [it]." That's just what I think it says. I have no idea about English football. lol

Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. ET! : ) Long time no chat! I hope all is well. Xs and Os, CLT When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game! and there you have it.
