In that case it's understandable (although I wouldn't like to be caught in the middle of it!). I often wonder how the English football team can lose a game without an uproar - some of them are paid £250000 a week, or so I'm told. Seems hard to believe!

Nice to know that. :cool: And of course I know where Dehra Dun is (Dehra Doon for some). I'm from north India too. Do let me know if you ever come to this part of the globe. Dehra Dun is just a few hundred kilometers from where my parents live and I might plan a combo trip to Allahabad and Dehra Dun. I've never been there before. Dehra Dun I mean. It's a beautiful place.

        Kannan Kalyanaraman wrote: How are people reacting to the defeats so far, I know its nothing like it is in India. Yeah we don't burn effigies or tar and feather players homes. Obviously most of us are sad about the whole thing. We want our boys to do well and we are disapointed and realise that something needs to change (even though we have come up against two inspired batting performances, first Lara and then Fleming.) But most of us still support them and cheer them on. Not as proud as before but still behind them. No giving up on them, they need our support more than ever (just as the India players do) :) Kannan Kalyanaraman wrote: what do ya think chances of SA making it to supersix Not too good IMO. We have to win all our remaining games (not too hard) but then the Windies have to beat Sri Lanka as well for us to get through. I don't like relying on other teams to win or loose to get through. Plus Sri Lanka will probably beat the Windies. Ah well.

IMO burning effigies and posters and taking out protest marches are still OK to an extent (atleast they don't do any damage), but throwing stones and tar and cowdung and what not at players' homes is too much. People have also threatened them to come back with the cup or else don't come back at all. This is getting out of hand. The situation will get even more nasty if we lose the match against Zimbabwe tomorrow. And please read my response to Megan for my take on the issue.

I have friends who have been to various area's of India, and loved it (except the trains, one got cholera while waiting 3 days for a train and ended up in hospital :rolleyes: ). Also, photo's my grandparents took make the jungle look awesome, although they are all brown and white, so the colours have to be imagined. :)

                I found this at sellsbrothers[^] page :-) Cheers Kannan What is Meant by "Marketing"? Perhaps the following analogies will help clear it up: * You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I'm fantastic in bed." That's Direct Marketing. * You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says, "He's fantastic in bed." That's Advertising. * You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day you call and say," Hi, I'm fantastic in bed." that's Telemarketing. * You're at a party and see a handsome man. You get up and straighten your dress. You walk up to him and pour him a drink. You say, "May I," And reach up to straighten his tie brushing your breast lightly against his arm, and then say, "By the way, I'm fantastic in bed." That's Public Relations. * You're at a party and see a gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and says, "I hear you're fantastic in bed." That's Brand Recognition. * You're at a party and see a gorgeous girl. You talk her into going home with your friend. That's a Sales Rep. * Your friend can't satisfy her so he calls you. That's Technical Service. * You're on your way to a party when you realize that there could be gorgeous women in all the houses you're passing. So you climb onto the roof of one situated in the middle and shout at the top of your voice, "I'm fantastic in bed!". That's Spam. * You hear about women like this but never meet one. That's False Advertising.

(iow. damned freezing!!!!) Actually not too bad today. Bit hot in the afternoon but nothing too major. Got a frikkin wasp buzzing about the office though, nice big yellow and black one. Last week it started making a nest on our router! I kid you not. Now it is flying about the back of my PC, so if I go offline you know why.

(iow. damned freezing!!!!) Actually not too bad today. Bit hot in the afternoon but nothing too major. Got a frikkin wasp buzzing about the office though, nice big yellow and black one. Last week it started making a nest on our router! I kid you not. Now it is flying about the back of my PC, so if I go offline you know why.

Get closer (yes, closer) till he shows an interest in you. Then walk slowly (making sure he follows) over to the guy in the furthest corner from you. Stand close to him (while trying not to appear gay), and the wasp should transfer it's interest to him. Of course, I'm not speaking from evil experience or anything.... :-O

                              But I am fantastic in bed! And there are gorgeous women in all the houses I pass. And it would be wrong to leave them unsatisfied! So spam is the only way... - Paul Watson
