Sure, it's the unofficial start of the summer, but we must never forget the real reason for this day of rememberance.
CC my good man well put !

Last year we got so wound up over here ( England) over the world that we completely forgot about VE day !
I only realised when Paul O'grady did a very classy tribute on his show it was quality .
I mentioned it to my Dad who's as conservative as they come and he put it in a way i never could !

' it's always better to have something too look forward to rather than look back but never forget '

He was right ! Nobody should ever forget their sacrafice .

Ill be opening the batting at our local rivals , think i should go out and get truly bladdered though , last time i got pissed the night before i made my best score of 66 not out since then I've been bang out of touch .

Its our local Rivals , they do a blinding spread can't wait .
