Have fun - If Big H (Hywel) is there try not to let him kick the screen
in - it's always the referee's fault when he's watching - and for
goodnes sake don't remind him that I beat him 4-1 in the handicap
tournament this week!

I'm still watching England's inept attempt at batting against Pakistan.

Perhaps us family history researchers could dig up a few more players
with Welsh qualifications!

Nah we're gonna win.

Hi Janie

Well I'm off to the Cricket Club in Stradey now to watch the
match......I help with the food half time!!! (I'll have a few glasses of
lager while I am there)...

We may beat them yet????....they've brought a new Captain in who has not
played for Wales for 3-4 years, he was not even on the bench!!! makes
you wonder who the selection committee is....or what side they are
on...some would like a Welsh coach too......maybe more hwyl in the game
then...even Phil Bennett was disgusted last week..

Speak tomorrow......

Pauline
