Take the wheel of my Escort, fifty five, middle lane To lessen my depression I spend session after session Vlad the Impaler is taking off his shirt Watch the Jags and the Ferraris leave me in their wake again In the decadent digression of a dream To wrestle with the riot girls down in the dirt It’s not right, it’s not cricket!

There was a time when we were held high, but now they’ve got technology My thoughts have been diluted like a 2/6 novella Replaying every scene to prove that we are of no further use Am I in a field in England or in the dark streets of Vienna?” All we’re really saying is it doesn’t really feel And sport is just a computer game Like we’re all playing on a level playing field Just a relic of yesterday Hey hey, whiling away the best part of the day down at third man It’s not right Hey hey, watching the play as I daydream away down at third man Hey hey, whiling away the best part of the day down at third man “Well one thing it certainly isn’t is cricket Hey hey, watching the play as I daydream away down at third man You simply can’t get away with that It’s just not cricket”!

Type the abstract of the document here. The abstract is typically a short summary of the contents of the document.] Edinburgh Cricket Club Junior Season Report 2015-2016 In the past 12 months Edinburgh Cricket Club has grown to become the second largest cricket club in Victoria. This has come about in part due to A LOOK a demographic surge in area but also, we like to think, because the Burra BACK AT is a great place for players of all ages to enjoy cricket. The number of junior SEASON teams has doubled in the past 3 years from 8 teams in season 2012-13 to 16 2015-2016 teams in 2015-16. The most exciting development this season has been the advent of our under 15 girls’ team. Women’s cricket at the Burra has been up and running for over a decade now with the woman this year taking out the WCCC North West Premiership. This season our number one priority was getting a girls’ team up and running. Slowly over the preseason numbers gathered and we just had enough players for the start of the ECA Anna Lanning Spirit competition, which runs on a Wednesday evening. Despite their ages ranging from 8 to 13, the girls quickly bonded into a team and before long were playing some great cricket. Word spread and numbers grew over the season so that next season we hope to have 2 teams.

  • 1 '…For Peace Comes Dropping Slow.' Lessons from the Middle In
    ‘…for peace comes dropping slow.’ Lessons from the middle in Northern Ireland’s peace process. Tony Craig On August 15, 1998 a terrorist car bomb exploded in the town of Omagh in Northern Ireland killing 29 and injuring over 200. Omagh was the deadliest single bomb attack of Northern Ireland’s Troubles, though it occurred after the Good Friday peace agreement there had been ratified by convincing referendum majorities. Like with the assault on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, history will primarily teach these events as markers of the end of a particular phase and the beginning of a new one (think 9/11) and certainly events like these offer moments of punctuation that are useful in developing narratives and communicating the past to a wider audience. The problem is however that episodes of conflict and violence can come to dominate our understanding of history to the detriment of other factors, trends and behaviors. They remain of course important, as when people are hurt, suffer or die their deaths have profound effects, and when dramatic events happen people pay attention. This emphasis on history as drama replayed in high contrast however dangerously muddies the wider reality where violence is never the whole picture and government action far from the only or even best response. If we view conflict and violence as the interruption of ordinary life; if we see them as aberrant, local, temporal and discordant, then we can see how push- button responses by the state can actually metastasize problems when applied in the longer term as well as how forebearance, stoicism and trust can be the better response to violent division.

  • Design and Development of Indigenous Cricket Bowling Machine
    Journal of Scientific & Industrial Research Vol. 65, February 2006, pp. 148-152 Design and development of indigenous cricket bowling machine Shibendu Shekhar Roy*, Sankar Karmakar, Narayan Prasad Mukherjee, Udayan Nandy and Uma Datta Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute, Durgapur 713 209 Received 01 February 2005; revised 20 October 2005; accepted 12 December 2005 This paper presents details of a cricket bowling machine, developed at CMERI, Durgapur, which includes a pair of adjacent ball ejecting wheels, each provided with a groove or concave surface formed in a body of an visco-elastic material. These wheels are mounted on a base for axial rotation in a common plane, the spacing between the wheels being less than the diam of a ball to be thrown and the rotational speed of each wheel being adjustable independently of the other. This machine transfers the kinetic energy to the ball by frictional gripping of the ball between two rotating wheels. The base is supported on a tilting assembly, which is mounted on a bracket in such a way that the required angular adjustment of the rotational plane of the wheel about axis parallel to direction of delivery of ball and its perpendicular axis is possible. Electronic controls are provided for controlling the speed of rotation of the wheel. These adjustments of relative rotational speeds and plane of rotation of the wheels afford wide variations in the bowling speed, spin and direction. Keywords : Bowling machine, Cricket, Indigenous IPC Code : A63D1/00 Introduction rotating wheel 7 or between two rotating wheels 8. A There are a number of ball throwing devices as pair of fixed spaced, counter rotating pneumatic tired follows: i) Machines that rely on pneumatic pressure to wheels is mounted on a base for axial rotation in a propel the ball; ii) Machines that employ a spring common plane.

FEIJÓ PROFESSOR DOUTOR MIGUEL TAMEN Doutoramento em Estudos de Literatura e de Cultura Teoria da Literatura 2014 Acknowledgments The work for this thesis was done under a fellowship granted by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT): the time granted to think is priceless, and I am indeed thankful for being allowed to benefit from it. During this period I have also benefited from the resources put at my disposal by my host institution, the Nova Institute of Philosophy (IFILNOVA). Professor António Feijó has been teaching me since my first year of undergraduate studies and Professor Miguel Tamen since I started graduate studies: I am still to this day amazed at the luck I have for being given the opportunity to work with both of them, and my gratitude for their efforts and enthusiasm in crafting this thesis is immeasurable. As a student of the Program in Literary Theory I must extend my thanks to Professor João Figueiredo, who is an integral part of the Program and with whom I have learnt many valuable things about art. When writing a thesis, a friend who enjoys editing is a blessing one must always be thankful for; in any case, I would gladly dismiss Helena’s editing skills for the friendship which has shaped this work beyond recognition and, necessarily, beyond any written acknowledgment.

  • Popular Music Stuart Bailie a Troubles Archive Essay
    popular music A Troubles Archive Essay Stuart Bailie Cover Image: Victor Sloan - Market Street, Derry From the collection of the Arts Council of Northern Ireland About the Author Stuart Bailie was on the staff of the NME (New Musical Express) from 1988 to 1996, rising to Assistant Editor in his last three years there. Since then, he has worked as a freelance journalist for Mojo, Uncut, Q, The Times, The Sunday Times and Hot Press. He has written sleevenotes for U2 and wrote the authorised story of Thin Lizzy, The Ballad Of The Thin Man in 1997. He has been presenting a BBC Radio Ulster show each Friday evening since 1999. He has been Associate Producer of several BBC TV music programmes, including the story of Ulster rock and pop: ‘So Hard To Beat’ in 2007. He has also been the scriptwriter / researcher for a series of BBC Radio 2 documentaries on U2, Thin Lizzy and Elvis Costello. Stuart is now CEO of Oh Yeah, a dedicated music centre in Belfast. Popular Music In September 1968 Van Morrison was in NewYork, recording a series of songs about life back in Belfast. This was his Astral Weeks album, one of his most important works. It was also a vivid snapshot of Northern Ireland just before the climate changed dramatically with the outbreak of the Troubles. In Morrison’s sentimental picture, there were youthful voices, parties and high-spirits; flamboyant figures such as Madame George cruised the streets of Belfast as the post-war generation challenged social conventions. The hippy ideals were already receding in America, but Belfast had experienced a belated Summer of Love and a blossoming social life.

  • DC Biog Current
    THE DIVINE COMEDY – A BIOGRAPHY The Divine Comedy is Neil Hannon. Over the years, the name has encompassed other musicians, but the driving force of the band and its main (sometimes only!) member has always been Neil Hannon. He chose the name 'The Divine Comedy' aged 18, almost at random. He and two Enniskillen school friends needed a new name for their band and Neil spotted a copy of Dante’s epic poem on the family bookshelf. It stuck, and a year later it was the name under which the trio signed to Irish run indie Setanta Records. They left Northern Ireland, moved into a squat in London, released a mini-album, 1990’s REM/Ride influenced 'Fanfare for the Comic Muse' and ‘91’s ‘Europop’ E.P. then split up. Neil's bandmates went to university and Neil returned home. Retaining the name, he spent 18 months living in his parents’ attic, sleeping during the day, watching old movies and writing songs at night. Influenced by everything from Jacques Brel, Scott Walker and Michael Nyman to "A Room with a View", Wordsworth, and Mr Benn, these songs eventually evolved into two albums. The first of these, ‘Liberation’ was released in 1993. Totally different to anything else around, and indeed his previous work, he now considers it his first album proper. The press adored it. The NME described it as "..an array of seductive yarns.. glorious, gleeful tunesmanship." Dave Cavanagh, writing in Select said "...one of the bountiful, overflowing joys of the year. Any year." Melody Maker described it as "An album that could make any listener want to stumble up to him and proclaim ‘Neil, you’re a genius’".

  • Thirty Years of the Divine Comedy Wed 1 – Sun 5 Sep 2021, Barbican Hall, 7.30Pm Tickets £25 – 40 Plus Booking Fee
    JUST ANNOUNCED Rescheduled: Venus, Cupid, Folly and Time – Thirty Years of The Divine Comedy Wed 1 – Sun 5 Sep 2021, Barbican Hall, 7.30pm Tickets £25 – 40 plus booking fee Today the Barbican announces rescheduled dates for Venus, Cupid, Folly and Time – Thirty Years of The Divine Comedy, a celebration of the band’s thirtieth anniversary. The five-night concert-run by The Divine Comedy was originally planned for 2 – 6 September 2020 but can no longer go ahead due to the Covid-19 restrictions. In consultation with the Barbican and Cité de la Musique the band have decided to delay their London and Paris residencies till next year. The Barbican concerts will now take place Wed 1 – Sun 5 September 2021. Performing as an eleven-piece ensemble, they will play two albums in full each night in chronological order as follows: • Liberation / Promenade (Wed 1 Sep 2021) • Casanova / A Short Album About Love (Thu 2 Sep 2021) • Fin de Siecle / Regeneration (Fri 3 Sep 2021) • Absent Friends / Victory For The Comic Muse (Sat 4 Sep 2021) • Bang Goes The Knighthood / Foreverland (Sun 5 Sep 2021) The band will repeat the five nights at the Cité de la Musique in Paris later in September 2021. In 1990 Neil Hannon signed his first deal and started releasing records under the name The Divine Comedy. Thirty years, twelve great albums and hundreds of mesmerising live shows later, Hannon is rightly adjudged one of the finest singer-songwriters of his generation. To mark the anniversary, Divine Comedy Records are remastering and reissuing nine of the band's classic albums on CD, LP and digital.
