A festival type of affair with flags, pennants, pageantry, craft brewers in kiosks and of course traditional domestic brews as well. Banners, bunting and beer. Oh my! Much safer than American football for the players.

One of my daughters had a math (or, maths) homework problem in trigonometry. I already knew she had a complete grasp of the subject at that level, but still both she and I had trouble with it. The reason was, the problem was laid out in the form of a baseball scenario. Being Brits, we had no idea what "stealing a base" meant.<br /><br />And don't get me started about the problems they faced in many subjects, especially Physics, due to the US still using non-metric units.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383366739539632245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891434218564545511.post-43372899943212224742015-12-06T17:11:11.533-06:002015-12-06T17:11:11.533-06:00Surely all one really needs to know about cricket ...Surely all one really needs to know about cricket is that the game gave us the saying "different stokes for different blokes"?Mark Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12691324025964108341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891434218564545511.post-29204612636987655812015-12-06T17:09:32.351-06:002015-12-06T17:09:32.351-06:00Surely all one really needs to know about cricket ...Surely all one really needs to know about cricket is that the game gave us the saying "different stokes for different blokes"?Mark Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12691324025964108341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891434218564545511.post-58957700515775698782015-12-04T21:59:44.235-06:002015-12-04T21:59:44.235-06:00Isn't drinking tea for five days straight hard...Isn't drinking tea for five days straight hard on the bladder? :-)Dagmara Lizlovshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14744785407281199347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891434218564545511.post-40057368737380431372015-12-04T21:42:15.168-06:002015-12-04T21:42:15.168-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dagmara Lizlovshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14744785407281199347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891434218564545511.post-67972993180053671572015-11-29T08:35:36.553-06:002015-11-29T08:35:36.553-06:00I think it's up for debate whether cricket is ...I think it's up for debate whether cricket is a sport or simply an excuse to put on a funny hat and drink tea for five days straight.Øysteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00085934114974381896noreply@blogger.com
