    I love Test Match Special…

    is it just me???

    Commentating on cricket must be quite boring at times, but the randomness of the daily "chat" with various stories, alternating commentators and ex players. My mrs doesn't quite understand it, but she wouldn't.

    And the stuff they get sent, from cheese to cakes is always a great laugh.

    I've always loved it.

    The conversation about cheese this morning was brilliant. 'Intensely rich? That one must be for Boycott!'

    I used to listen to the away Ashes series when I should've been sleeping in readiness for school the next morning. England would inevitably get liquidised, and I'd go into school like a zombie.

    I really enjoy listening to it when I get the chance, which to be fair is quite rare these days.

    If those don't work, one could always read a compilation of your posts.

    Sleep: assured.
