Don't think many people would argue that ability-wise he is better than anything England currently has (with the notable exception of Root)but he's burnt his bridges with the England set up. That said I don't agree with the way they dangled a carrot in front of him last year to then snatch it away, but he REALLY @#/? people off.

As a test match player, without question he is.

The Golden Calf - Prefab Sprout

Music is my Radar - Blur

Moon on Your Pyjamas - Paul Weller

And therein lies the problem. On a similar note I was really sad to hear of the death of Wayne Harrison - my brother played against him many times - he was tipped for great things but a succession of injuries and freak accidents conspired against him. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/ian-herbert-tragic-tale-of-wayne-harrison-shows-football-is-more-about-those-who-get-discarded-along-9030917.html

Not sure why you feel that way about the poster's claim Bob, but a mate of mine was queuing behind Lemmy at an ATM in London many years ago and got chatting to him. They ended up playing pool and drinking together for two hours in a pub across from the bank, and there are photos to prove it, so Lemmy clearly wasn't averse to slumming it.

Stuck in the Middle With You - Stealers Wheel

Bright Side of the Road - Van Morrison PS - have the rules changed? I thought it had to be a different word that was retained from the previous song and artist. (Not aimed at you Audax, but in many recent posts it has been the same word repeated many times)
