I don’t think much comment is needed. To be fair, this was from a more innocent time, when a boy could wear lippy and eyeshadow while wielding his willow. Was there ever really such a time? Interestingly, the same publisher who brought you Ian Chappell’s “Cork Soaking for Girls”. From Cimbali & Meccano.

I have that book.
Such pleasure.
As photographed in the subi op shop.
Been looking at it for months.
There i was thinking..
“should I?”
“nah, it’s not that funny.”
Then some other WAnker takes a pic.
And it gets used…
Really in Subi? Snap it up WAtching.
I found it in Melbourne and wished I had actually looked inside.
ps If you can’t tell if it is funny then why are you reading this blog?
I did look inside and i can confirm that it is full of cigarette smoking teenagers and of short stories of the senior boys saving the fragile lives of the juniors. Titles like “Jenkins saves Ponsonby.”
Oh and an article on “modern” aeronautics.
Not “Jenkins saves Ponsonby for himself”?
Winner!
I would have gone “saves him for later”.
OMG. I was looking at the very same book, considering buying it for just this purpose. Thinking those same thoughts. Was it worth the $8? Apparently so.
Damn.
An uncanny, disturbing likeness, TLA. Speaking of cricket, that was a fantastic aerial yesterday.
I think TLA would be the first to admit there is no rhyme or reason to it- think “2 poles” or “BnS”.
Having been on the sharp end of LA’s sense of humour for more years than pretty much anyone else on the planet I have to quote an old wheatbelt farmer and say – there is no Rhyme or Rheem.
But you do develop a kind of sixth sense about it.
Bear with me- i am uprading this world class facility.
That wouldn’t have been Greg, by any chance, Cimbali ?
Oops. WARNING : Greg link NSFW language.
Doesn’t that chap on the cover look a tad like Eddie Izzard?

He is a funny cunt – I love the “wet trays” bit.
This guy is good.
yeah onnie, i saw him on a t.v recently. brilliant. his humour makes him incredibly shaggable i must say.
I came across this link with great anticipation and turgid fervour.
So tell me, were the pages stuck together?
an early precedent to the ‘soggy sao’ phenomena so popular among the boys of private schools?
Bat handle as phallic symbol. Never occurred to me before in all my years at the crease.
