    Shaking with excitement

    OK...

    Last week, I rushed together a simple little website for a friend of mine - www.raindancefortheashes.co.uk .

    I know sod all about cricket, but I thought i'd do him a favour. Anyway...

    I just got off the phone with a teamfishcolleague, who got a phone call from BBC 5 Live saying that they'd come across the site and wanted to know who'd set it up so they could have a chat with them about it

    As I don't know anything about cricket, I've told them to speak to the guy that actually gave me most of the content, but I'm excited anyway!

    cool
    though I think it would of been funny if you talked to them, knowing nothing about cricket n'all

    We cannot choose what we are.. but what are we but the sum of our choices?

    Loving those suggestions - #2 should be particularly successful.

    Ah, well that's the BBC for you- anything to avoid actually producing their own content.

    Nice one though mate! I'll be leaving my sunroof open and wearing my shiniest, least waterproof shoes- I actually live about 5 miles from the Oval so fingers crossed!

    I'll sing as that seems to cause it to rain a lot - I'm always singing hence manchester is always raining

    SteveA is going to do his Raindance as well and Rave on the bongo's I'm sure we can make it rain...

    Go on Rave - get the bongo's out and drum away

    Hehe, very good...

    btw, I've written a clear and concise explanation of cricket for those who don't know...

    Here's a snippet:
    ....The team that’s out tries to get those two players that are in, out. When one of them is out, he goes in and another player comes out and goes in....
    You can see the rest, in all it's glorious confusion here.

    I know! The vast majority is text. I've tried asking him to get me some photos to put on, but he's not managed to do it yet.

    Might have some more news on the radio, but just need to wait for confirmation!

    Oh, and one thing we were thinking of doing, was linking to one of those "click to donate money to a charity" things. Considering the subject, we were thinking of a country that actually *needs* rain. Does anyone know of any site that does that sort of thing?

    OK, it's been confirmed - He's going to be on Radio 5 at approximately 11:20AM TODAY. If anyone could record it, that would be great! Not sure exactly for how long though.
