Frog was telling us about his teenage trials for the County basketball team and we were laughing derisively when he said: "Being little as I was, they couldn't see me dribbling between their legs."
Kev, wait a minute, I was at school with a chap named "Frog" who played basketball despite not being especially tall. Philip Keating was his real name - is it him??
Is there a lowering of standards taking place hereabouts or am I just in a cranky mood because my commute home was sheer hell due to some foreigners staging a noisy protest on my city's streets and gumming up the proper flow of traffic?!?

Gadjo: no, but the name's familiar and I can't think why.
Bear in mind that the English Grammar School system was good at tricks like making the feeble kids play rugby and the short-sighted kids keep wicket.

Lavinia: have no doubts, we're as common as muck over here
