I am very polite in real life. Helped a blind lady on a train yesterday.

She wanted to get into a taxi though

I get invited to a lot of Indian ones by clients Shah, would be interested to go one day, the cost of the flight to Delhi tends to put me off though.

Who would have thought Jules was baseball great Yogi Berra.

He's smarter than the average Berra

Cricket friend went to a proper Bollywood wedding over the summer. It wasn't in India but the guy or bird was A-list. Think Tendulkar etc were there. Will try find the name

Jules would not play for the Yankees, he is not that obvious.

Interesting bit of baseball trivia. The New York Yankees do not allow any of their players to have beards.

This was the one. Never heard of them.... http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2015-06-18/news/63568122_1_sangeet-gauri-khan-manish-malhotra

Perhaps he's one of the Bay City Rollers? He's absent as he's away rehearsing?

If I had to make a call I think Jules would likely be Gary Richrath http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/

He's been on since then.

Minor detail.

Perhaps he is the boss of Volkswagen then.

Why don't they allow beards?

Not sure Tina, think they just want to project a clean cut image. They are generally a bit like that, like Baseball starts and ends with the Yankees. Had some great players and teams, but horrible celebrity team. They are like Man Utd without the redeeming features.

Seems a bit ridiculous in this day and age.

Beards used to the domain of peados, vegans, Bill Oddie and feminists. Now everyone has one.

Tend to agree. I have no intention of shaving, I don't care what contract they offer me.

Think Jules would be more of a Blue Jays fan. Don't quote me on it. Just a gut feeling I have.

I'd go for the Red Sox, got a bit of history and a proper traditional club without being the horrible Yankees.

Pretty sure he lived in Canada for a while so you could be right, LD.

Good paying attention/stalking skills Tina.

Cheers Jeff.

He simply adores the Montreal Canadiens I believe.
This is why I'm not so sure about following a baseball team from Toronto.

Something weird is going on here.

He might still be an Expos fans, one of those guys who just can't accept the franchise has closed and shift his allegience. That touching but slightly sad mixture of loyalty and pig headedness.

Mind the windows Tino. wrote:Something weird is going on here.

Such as?


Yes Jeff, he must feel a little disenfranchised if he were indeed an Expos fan.

I shouldn't have had that piece of hummingbird cake. Feeling drowsy now.
Don't know whether I should have a nap and record the Scotland-Japan match then wake up at 01:10 for the 2nd one. What a dilemma.

Something weird is always going on... But what specifically?

Afternoon chaps

Belated Happy 5000, Rick.

Missed it, do you want me to delete a couple of comments Rick so you can mark it with slightly more ceremony?

Where's Galted?

Spoiler:

Cheers Union!

Didn't even notice, cheers anyway Jeff but would be too contrived now, and congratulating a queen mum based anecdote is not too bad a way, I will bukc up the old ideas for 6000...

Far left. Bloke with the big lens.

I was given a Red Sox shirt on my recent weekend in Boston - I was a bit worried someone would ask me a baseball-related question when they saw me wearing it but I steered clear of this potential awkwardness by avoiding eye-contact with strangers and people I wasn't sure were strangers.

This weekend formed part of the same holiday in which I was given my "I don't speak Icelandic" (in Icelandic) t-shirt so that's 2 t-shirts for free on the same holiday.

Do Baseball tops traditionally go with Hi-Tecs?

Khaki.

Is anyone following the Tyson Fury press conference. How can anyone not love Tyson?

Probably or probably not, I'm not sure.

I was asking for the fashion conscious among us.


And sean.

Great story Galted, great story. Your seemingly endless supply of T shirt related zingers is a gift that keeps on giving. The Red Sox's ground Fenway Park features at the end of the Ben Affleck directed film The Town. You can have that one on me in case anybody else questions you when you've got the t shirt on.

It's also only 20ft above sea level.

Nice one, Jeff, I shall remember that. I quite liked The Town.

I do think of you whenever I receive something for free.

My Dad is a Yankees fan Rowley so I'm disappointed in your description of them as the Man Utd of baseball and the team celebrities choose to follow.

I think he started following them when he was teaching at Cornell University but I guess there are other teams as close (the Mets obviously) but my US geography is poor.

He was born in Barrow-in-Furness so I can't believe it's a fashion related fanship.

By the way what are Man Utd's redeeming features?

Will watch it later, always good value in a Fury presser.

Has he called Wlad a 'sh*thouse c*nt' yet?

I thought it was funny. The guy isn't wired up normally.

They honestly don't have any.

WTF? He came in dressed as batman?

seanmichaels wrote:WTF? He came in dressed as batman?

Ran around the room.

Fought 'The Joker'.

Left, came back in his suit, said he was late due to traffic.

Vlad called him a clown. Tyson lost it.

Make him think you are crazy.

It worked for Clay...

Clay Matthews?

Cerys Matthews?

Could be? I'm not sure, this could be a case for Mulder & Scully.

i'd do Cerys if she promised not to get all weird and hippyish afterwards.
