Brief explanation...this does appear not to mention the whole stopping for tea thing though so not entirely complete. Also fails to mention that a game takes 5 days to complete...very poor show.

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

> How are messages not send so often?

Don’t know, we’re Verizon customers.

A “confirmed bachelor” as they used to say

Not going to lie this is a really shitty story

Bad/no service on either end.

Could've been worse. I'm glad you got your stuff together tho, you don't seem like a bad guy

"It's okay, I'm glad you made it home safe."

"as it turns out i did not"

"Wait what?!"

"Yeah when I got home and parked, I ran full speed to the front door with scissors in my hand. Totally not safe."

I can see this. A guy I served with was from a cricket playing country, and he tried to get other people into it. The level of seriousness he had about cricket was unlike anything I had ever seen. He literally chose cricket games over any other off duty activity.

I still don't understand the game, even though I watched a few with him.

So this is going to get an r incestconfessions follow up?

Per the internet, just make sure you call him step-uncle, and be stuck in the shower curtain.

Or share location with each other.

I read this as 2 jobs and was very confused

Yeah no kidding lol. Was young and dumb.

Baldrick: “But did he really have to dot the I with his kidney?”

Black Adder: “No Baldrick; I think it just kind of… fell there.”

How are messages not send so often? Is that like an Apple thing?

This is why you turn on receipts, that way if you get a confusing response you can see the sent timestamp

BTW to see this in latest Android Messages app, hold down the message in question until it's highlighted, then touch the three dots in the upper right corner. Select "view details," and it will display both the time the message was sent and the time it was received.

Alright that makes more sense thanks for clarifying.

I can't speak for having a penis, but there are only so many red flags I can excuse by thinking with your dick personally.

I was working for an airline and it's not that uncommon to get flown somewhere. Yes there were all sorts of red flags but like that song says, "I was thinking with my dick, my shit dumb."

You could have danced naked next to me during that final but I only have eyes for Ben Stokes and the lads. Your Uncle will have similar priorities.

Dude wtf is this grim outlook on stuff.

That still surprises me tbh but I don't know how common it is for 18 year old workers in the US to be flown across the country for work like that.

I'm still reading this tbh but so far it's just red flag after red flag to me.

Interesting read though.

It was more a training then a meeting really.

My first question is, what sort of job does an "18 year old" have that has them flying around the country for business meetings?

Hi son!

I was one of those people, until my son told me of his hatred of that type of message. Now instead of 5-6 messages it is 1-2. :) (mine weren't 1-2 words per text. it was 5-6 quick texts with a sentence each)

I would type this out with my dying breath
