Local advent-ures in joy and woe!

[blamebrampton]

England stormed to a decisive victory in the Second Test today, one step closer to retaining the Ashes, and winning in Australia. And before you Americans tune out, let me reach the woe part of this post -- Stuart Broad is injured and will have to go home to recuperate. This means we will see no more of this: 



or this



until well into 2011. raitala  and I believe he should spend the rest of the Ashes appearing on the fourth plinth every Sunday. He could even do his physio and have massages there. People should be able to book in for 15 minute time slots to reassure him he is still loved, and Australia House could provide some lovely heat lamps to keep everyone toasty and remind them of the weather down here. If anyone knows Boris Johnson personally, we feel he could be prodded in this direction with surprising ease!

Am all in support of this. Can't see BoJo not helping, esp. as he and Stuart seem to share a hairdresser...

His bat's shaped funny, but he is very pretty. ;)

I think that that is a wonderful plan.

You have thought it all the way through... what could go wrong!

Your posts are making me want to watch test match cricket. Test match cricket is boring. I think you might be just ever-so-slightly evil. I am even googling the players, which by the way hasn't been a total loss because there are lots of pretty ones these days, so, your evilness is forgiven.

I don't mind watching when they play in their pyjama's though because that is much more exciting.

Sign me up for the live webcam feed. Please and thank you.

(Pointless comment is pointless, me thinks it is time for the blanket show.)

Maybe it's post-pregnancy hormones talking, but he's HOT.

I'll mention it to Boris when I go up to town...

... for the club Crimbo luncheon.

I can't imagine he'd say no.

I believe Femme and Noe are already working on Cook/Broad H/C fic. (I am an evil influence.)

LOVELY!

*sigh*

Poor Broady. Other than that, the cricket's been great, but he will be missed this series.

(All the more reason to enshrine him in other ways)

Thank you for these!

Oh he's GOODLOOKING!

Where can I meet him? Is there a GF I need to get rid of?

I am Woeful and Distraught for the dear boy. :(

ONOES!

They broke Malfoy? WTF?

I don't watch the cricket (long story) but mostly right now I don't watch because if I do England will not win (I am that much of a bad omen for teams I support).

Now who will cuddle AC at nights and keep him happy? Oh, the tragedy of it all.

*cries*

...too, too pretty for words. Yum.

Dang it - they are outplaying us and have a really good looking team - with bonus blonds! I believe your cunning plan should be put into action....

I am loving listening to the cricket so far this summer. I'd be watching but they frown on us bringing a TV to work. *g*

Poor wee soul. Did you see his tummy?
