No, we won't get kicked out of the forum... not now when it's getting interesting... Anyway, the mentioned Eric Idle sketch centres around the nudge nudge kind of thing and the wifey is supposed to be sporty, she kind of likes cricket among other things.

Cricket was not my cup of tea. Preferred football, the one played with shoulder pads on... *** Djordje
