Madein’s Testimonial Match

As all the important people in the world know, I'm leaving Shanghai/China this coming weekend. From next month onwards, I will be applying my trade in Bogota, Colombia. Interpret my trade as whatever you want, its probably close enough to the truth.

Madein’s Diary…I mean the Leisure Match report

8th May 2011 I awoke early from the bright hot sunshine striking my picturesque physique at about 6am. Alarm hadn't gone off, so I went back to sleep for the remaining 30 minutes.

No sleep, so time to exact revenge for my lack of sleep on the poor unfortunate souls that play for The Team That May Not Be Named.

Pleasure Match Report 3/5/09

The day started with Swahili bitching about not being able to find whites in this city. The situation started to look more and more dire as more Basher's showed up with 'non-regulation' equipment. It was starting to look as though the other team would start with a hundred on the board before a ball was bowled. Fortunately, the Business XI were kind enough to allow some of the disorganised Pleasure Bashers to get into their wet white pants so they could take to the field.
