I was still working hard to get our normal broadcast lines re-established - so the [iPad] then got passed to our next commentators CMJ and Geoff Boycott.

Boycs may know about batting technique .. but he knows nothing about technology. “What do I do with it? I have never had one of these,” he said, before asking: “Just talk normally, do I?”

Then Aggers glanced nervously as the accident prone CMJ grabbed the device. “Don’t worry, I’ll hold it as carefully as the holy grail,” promised CMJ.

And just like all teenage girls, Miley Cyrus spends her time plastering her expensive MacBook Pro with stickers that reinforce her positive attitude towards life, and then writing LOL at everything anyone says to her online in what appears to be size 288 Futura. This is what kids do these days. Get with the program, grandpa.

This happens to sound people all time, you’re doing something mundane one day and you hear this great sound. My wife has long thought I’m crazy; she probably had to be quiet for a few hours while I recorded a vacuum cleaner. The cracks of my stairs are so clean now.

I have a form of attention deficit disorder. I like to pay attention only to things I want to pay attention to, and cleaning my apartment does not fall into that category. Thus, I live like the Unabomber, but without his sense of purpose. I have, of course, made attempts every now and then to straighten up, but I approach it in the same manner as my taxes — something to be done only once a year, while screaming in confused agony like a cat in heat.

What about junk mail?” says Nick. Are you angry about junk mail? If someone has the temerity to push an A5 piece of paper through your letterbox, offering you a balti meal deal in spite of your pithy homemade “NO HAWKERS. NO CIRCULARS” sign, could you roll with that? Or do you literally feel the serotonin levels in your brain deplete as you drop to your knees wailing, “Why? Why God? Why did you make me British? If only life’s lottery had spat me out in Mogadishu with AK-47 crossfire whistling past my lugholes; instead I’m forced to live here in Broken Britain (St Albans) enduring this misery of ‘slightly late Ocado orders’, ‘haphazard grammar in public signage’, and long nights trolling the local gazette’s letters page about ‘chaotic council wheelie bin collection timetables’.

These weren’t even people who had direct management responsibility for people who did real work. They were part of the diffuse cloud of people who are in charge of the general principle of getting something done eventually, that you find everywhere in most large organizations

Before his arrest for murder, Catalan said he never watched “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” But after his release from jail, he became a devoted fan.

Ms. DETORO (Consulting Actuary, Chicago): Well, I will tell you I get to travel a lot for my job. And so, when I get to where I’m going, I’m going into a client’s office and working indoors again. But I like the days where I’m running to the airport or I’m driving from my office to a client in the middle of the day. I do like having that opportunity to get out of the office during the day. But I would say, I don’t think I would take it to the extreme that you do. I don’t think it’s something that I would be capable of doing. So, I’m happy that there are guys like you who do do it.

Mr. HENRY (Roustabout, Gulf of Mexico): Yeah. Two nights ago, we had dolphins all around the ship. It was a nice quiet night. The water was like glass. And the dolphins were just swimming around, feeding in the lights around the ship.
