Here we go. Full contact cricket.

- snip -

but..... but..... but that's not a fun full contact thing

No tickling, no kissing the unexpected nose, no running of a small one under / between the legs of a big one, no carrying / lift someone from a position and put down 1 meter away,....

Only to be done with friends you know a real long time (as in to know good enough to be sure its no unwanted contact)

= no laughing fits e.g. bcs someone did something unexpected to steel the ball or... laughing so hard it sends you and/or your friends on your/their bottom(s) on the ground. Those are the main reason

Once in local club cricket, my city team beat the shit out of the opposition batsman. It was a 10 over game and he finished it in 6 overs. Was referred to ICU.

I guess you can do that with friends.

I like though in non contact sports how it becomes the battle of strategy and mental strength as much as physical skill. Which is why I love Test Cricket so much and also cause due to my physical attributes I would be trash in most contact sports.....

One time in an inter-school sports 10 Over match the opposition scored all of our runs in pretty much one Over

“No kissing the unexpected nose” is my new favorite expression.

lol what's the difference between well-reviewed or decently-reviewed? Good god it's like putting down non-blockbuster movies is how you get off or something man.

 

No you are trying to push a valid narrative around trolling but you make the film seem it got a 90% on RT and was well praised by everyone. 

 

Just say  your point which is valid, no need to 'spice it up'.

You're the last person here who should be telling people about "trolling." Just saying.

 

 

I said you were making a valid point about trolling against films with women lol.

Sure, by trying to "correct" me (like I implied it was some Oscar contender or something) in a way that involves putting down or "diminishing" a movie (that isn't a blockbuster because those are the only movies that matter, of course). Which isn't outside the norm.

Also see the Captain Marvel is locked yet again for the same old reasons. Yeah, the mods need to start cracking down on certain members here cause they never learn.

I was not putting the film down, just not pushing fake facts lol

The only one who took it as a fake fact is you, man. Then again, you're triggered by people talking politics at the Oscars and The Last Jedi so that's hardly a surprise.

Hollywood Reporter and Ellen Page have published a great piece everyone should read about hate crimes after the Jussie Smollett drama has recently caused the questioning of their validity: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ellen-page-jussie-smollett-fallout-guest-column-1191006

Such a great night. Aus-Ind match was great, Eng are on fire and football will give me el-classico and other big matches.
