On a beautiful, sun drenched morning, The Everest Test embarked on a truly memorable voyage of basically taking over the middle of London. Complete with warm clothes and singing hearts the crew took this expidition to a whole new level.
My first thanks goes to Kirt and Wes for being the brains behind this mental idea. Big clap for Captive Minds for organising a smashing do and of course a high five to all the guys and gals that turned up. Also a very special mention to Charlie B-N for that wristy flick to dispatch Kinsey's bowling into one of the fountains. Made me want to do a riverdance. H H Hillary!

Yakity Yak, Dont Smoke Crack
On a glorious Saturday morning myself and the Yeti that is Curry, went on a massive trek smash through the Surrey Hills.
Our adventure started at Guildford and took us through to a rather charmless village called Puttenham with a view to ending up in Farnham. Naturally we got lost and after 7 miles walked back to Guildord rather sheepishly!
The whole thing took 4 hours (hoo ha) and actually was a rather nice way to spend a Saturday morning. The new boots stood up to the punishment dished out and the banter was simply phenomenal. My thanks to Cuzza for coming on the magic carpet ride. Cuz, you are my ambassador of quam.

Cant work out whether I am disappointed or happy that Pietersen has called it quits. I suppose a balance argument is needed here.
Disappointed.. why?
1. He is a great player
2. Given time, he could have led us to great things
3. His "talisman" like ability has really put England cricket back on the world map as a real contender
4. He led from the front
5. Great with the press
Happy... why?
1. No-one is bigger than the team
2. Yes, he had a difference of opinion, but you dont just walk at the first sign of trouble
3. Not even 6 months into the job he put his personal position above the lads in the squad who look to him for guidance
4. Moores is gone- he was utter toilet. Record proved it. Played 22 won 8 lost 6 drawn 8
5. Strauss is on great form and deserves the captaincy at the third time of asking.
In conclusion, a bitter blow for England at a crucial time. However, dont forget that India have played without a coach and look at their position now. We have to get it right for the Ashes! I for one am offering my Hilarian services as chief yeti for the team whose duties will include mass sledging, poisioning the oppositions food and getting all their wives to sit on my lap Stanford style.
