Did I tell you I hit 842 runs last season, including 3 tons?
Me and a few workmates went for a net at Old Trafford recently. Some Lancashire age-group players (maybe 15-16 years old) were in the next net.
Good god they were quick.
Originally posted by dottewellYeah, it's scary how cr@p I feel, playing against 15yr olds who can bowl faster than I ever could. If you're ever in London for a weekend, come along to our ground and we'll have a pint and watch a game.

Originally posted by NordlysI agree. But in this case, I feel justified in my calling him a troll.
I would say it's trolling if getting a retort is the purpose of the post. In a forum like this, I would expect retorts whenever someone utters a clear opinion, but that doesn't mean everybody who utters a clear opinion is a troll, in my opinion.
And how much has adamforall posted here since this started? I wager he's sitting back laughing his ass off. Very troll-like, indeed.
Originally posted by Starrmanok, then, I'll reply.
Out of interest, do you believe that atheists are bound for hell?
IF so, do you think it matters to an atheist whether that is your opinion, when you express it, or a matter of fact as you believe it to be?
It depends. If the atheist accepts a savior before he dies, then no. If the atheist does not believe in a savior because he never learned about a savior, then no, he'll be taught all about it after death. If he rejects a savior, with every ounce of his breath, and in fact rejects the teachings of God (notice this could mean Islam or Buddhism as well), then yes. It is intent that matters. It is what is written upon his heart. It is a matter of faith and divine grace.
And no, I don't think an atheist would care, one way or another. But if something is my opinion, then one could assume that I believe it to be fact.
Originally posted by SuzianneNow that's something new: where did you get that part about 'being taught all about it AFTER death'? Where does it say anything about THAT in the bible, Quran, or any other religious book? The gist here I assume is a noble savage in Zimbobway goes through his entire life never even hearing about Buddha, Momahmed or Jesus, then upon his dying, even though he followed the precepts of his religion, maybe called upon the spirit world to help him in his daily life, etc., that person will be shown the proper way AFTER he dies? Tell me more.
ok, then, I'll reply.

Originally posted by SuzianneWell I'm in the third category, the one that rejects the notion of god, salvation etc. Now, since you accept that opinion and belief are the same, and that we've established that anything a person expresses is xyr opinion, do you realise that your opinion is as revolting and damaging to me as adamforall's was to you? And that adding IMO to it is neither here nor there?
