[SEL] OT: Torpedo Test

[Skip Cleveland]

I don't think that any self respecting yank would play cricket but, we do 
have rugby teams here and I believe that they eat their young.
Over here, people with British accents and ozzies as well are used to sell 
cars, brooms, insurance and hair (haaa) products. It add an air of 
sophistication unless they are plugging Jaguars then they sound like queers 
(term of endearment). Jig-uwer.
