    Just a change of Username by Matt - if you were so inclined, you could change yours to say, *****, or ***upyours*** but under Username history your former aliases are maintained for posterity.

    The phrase, "England International", used repeatedly throughout their careers, when referring to players such as Jay Bothroyd, who played just one match.

    People who say haitch instead of aitch.

    It's an Irish thing!

    At any rate, when you have two consonants together in the middle or end of an Irish word, you can pronounce an 'ih' in between them if you want to. That's why the Irish say 'fil-im' instead of 'film'.

    Any terms that regress the English language spewing out of that dumb Essex program.

    Anyone who uses idiotic terms like "amaze balls" deserves to be dragged through their nearest town centre by flatulent donkeys.

    top work Kilburn, comes from the Irish language, that's how words are pronounced in Irish, it's not wrong!

    A cricket cliche....

    'Taking the pace off the ball' when applied to a bowler.

    A bowler can't take pace off, he can only put less pace on.

    One for the purist here (not to say, pedant) "Chomping at the bit" has evolved from the saying "Champing at the bit." I'm a traditionalist and prefer the latter.
