>Alexie,

Why did my daughter drop you on your head in the hospital the day after we all joyously welcomed you into the world?

Don't hold it against us, that the family, and everyone else, have thought you've never achieved anything in your life.

Don't worry darling - we do really love you - it's not our fault that you've always been envious and jealous.

Your grandmother is actually not Leafy - just someone who met him on a tour once and was impressed by the way The Barmy Army represented English cricket - You appear to be someone who has just discovered the Internet, and your frustation with your sorry life on the the production line, is getting to you - so you feel free to take it out on the BA.

Relax and just enjoy the cricket - it doesn't matter if it's at Lords, in Australia or in Lahore - we're all the Barmy Army!!
