Well it's hard to beat John's quip. I bring your attention to the fact, Australia did not lose the ashes, England won them.  "Blair (TC)" wrote in message oups.com... | Year 1981 | | 1.

G'day Dag,
On a tour of England in 1882, Australia narrowly beat England by 7 runs in a tense and exciting match, which prompted the Sporting Times to run an obituary lamenting "The Death of English Cricket", with the footnote "N.B. The body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia". The following Australian summer, England played a series in Australia which the media played up as a quest to "regain the ashes". A small trophy was created, containing some ashes (burnt stumps), and presented to the English captain. Except in times of war, regular series of Test matches between these two countries have continued until this day, playing for the right to hold the Ashes. Of particular note: The first ever held international game was between USA and Canada! The first ever Aussie team to tour England was Aboriginal. We probably can thank the French for the name "Cricket" (we had a flourishing habit of pinching good things from the French Although "the right to hold the Ashes"( a little wooden urn) was created, the stingy Poms will not allow Australia to have them when we win them. (which is rather often They remain in England.HTH | I only wish I knew what "Australia lost the Ashes" actually mean. Cricket? | | -- | Dag T. Hoelseth | | http://www.geocities.com/dagtho/ | | |

The reason we won't let you take the ashes home is that you are a nation of convicted felons ( rather like the original inhabitants of a place called Virginia! ), and we might never get them back! Regards from Pom-Land ( tongue very firmly in cheek) Malcolm

I wonder if there be a statute of limitations
for bad reputations? Keep a firm grip on the Urn.........We'll be back...... Remember, we may have taken the odd loaf or two, you lot, the odd country or two.

Regards from Pom-Land ( tongue very firmly in cheek) Malcolm Why do not sincerely confess that the original urn got lost in England? BTW, I highly appreciated the humor and the info of this thread, gentlemen. Just to notice that in Blair's sequence: 1. Prince Charles got married 2. Liverpool crowned Champions of Europe 3. Australia lost the Ashes 4. Pope Died the point 4. doesn't match the other three ones, because the English church isn't catholic, AFAIK. -- Victor Manta ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philatelic Webmasters Organization: http://www.pwmo.org/ Art on Stamps: http://www.values.ch/ Romania by Stamps: http://www.marci-postale.com/ Communism on Stamps: http://www.values.ch/communism/ Spanish North Africa: http://www.values.ch/sna-site/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
