Ha! My last planned Ashes all nighter was December 2006. I managed 2 overs before deciding I'd just wake up early instead.

Yesterday: "These documents are vital. You must complete all of them. Stop any work you are doing and complete them".

Today, 1 hour before home time: "Actually they're not that vital. The work you stopped doing is more important. How's that going?"

Your dad's ostricised brother who still goes drinking in the local flat roof murder pub, has his own cue and challenges strangers to a game of pool for a fiver “you've a two ball start, go on, rack 'em, eh?”
