'Everybody wants the cheese, but they're not prepared to get stuck in the trap'

You've got to fight for your right to dairy. Plus other delights

You're assuming Bresnan didn't receive the visit and that this in itself is evidence that he will never own a time machine. Then again, maybe he did receive the visit and simply ignored his own advice.
But whether it was lack of warning or ignoring his own future self's good advice, no one should live with regrets. Move forwards. Life's all about seizing the moment/cheese.
It sounds like a deep and insightful metaphor, but then why should anyone be prepared to get stuck in a trap?
There's more to life than cheese anyway. Jimmy Neesham's principal concern this week has been breakfast foods.
Some he sees too often.
And others he is unconcerned about eating too often.
Apparently availability is the only thing stopping him from eating more.
Meanwhile, Yorkshire's Andrew Gale has morning sustenance issues as well.
You simply can't get a decent cappuccino at Cheeky Cherubs these days.
On the other side of the Pennines, Ashley Giles is proud to have made it into one celebrity's all-time XI.
You may also remember that a few months ago the King of Spain was being challenged to relinquish his Twitter handle by a fellow Giles. Apparently the situation's still not resolved.
Shaun Pollock brings us a potentially earth-shattering development anyway.
Well, at least Pollock's kept his emoji use in check. Kevin Pietersen's still communicating in the style of a tiresome teenager who is somewhat inexplicably wowed by the wonders of modern technology.
It's given him a whole new, not-in-the-least-bit-irritating style of communication.
The hieroglyphically adept among you will have spotted an aeroplane in the middle of all that. Cricketers plus air travel means only one thing...
Good old "furious face" emoji. You can't beat the classics.
