Ratta tat tat, say goodbye to your cat
( cat goes flying out the doors of a moving old red rattler)
True story that. I had the pleasure of hearing that story from Laurie's own mouth. God rest his soul

Just lost a lot of respect for Nicholls if that's actually true. I have no time for people who are cruel to animals. The guy was always a sandwich short of a picnic.
Well it didn't happen so you can sleep easier tonight. Who brings a cat on a train anyway? There's no need to insult a man who is held in high esteem by a lot of people.

I heard Wayne Pearce tell this story on fox once. The cat wasn't hurt because the train wasn't going that fast. It was those old trains where the doors don't close. It was a hot day during preseason training and the lady wouldn't move the cat to give him a seat. Laurie was famous for his rhyming one liners. He tossed the cat but you don't need to get your knickers in a knot and carry on about animal cruelty . Your logic that it couldn't have happened because in your opinion , nobody would take a cat on a train is kind of cute. That must mean that laurie and Pearce are liars according to you.

How about dropping the attitude and don't put words in my mouth?
So a couple of people repeat an anecdote and you believe it as gospel? It is what's known as an apocryphal story. I'm not denying they didn't tell the story **but it doesn't make it true.**
@happy tiger said:Peter Kelly at the judiciary
So you've been charged with intent having a closed fist and attacking the head of an opponent with a swinging arm
How do you plead ?? Guilty or not guilty ??
Kelly "Not guilty you honour , when I hit them with a closed fist they go down like a sack of sh&t and stay down "
"He got up"
@weststigers4life said:Obviously it's too late to take back the story about Laurie allegedly throwing the cat out the window of the train that i wrote in this thread but my intentions were only meant for it to be in light humour and not to cause a bung fight amongst forum members. I realise it's not PC and i don't condone animal cruelty but i also didn't believe that it actually happened and it was just a folklore story about Laurie. i found it funny but i have a warped sense of humour and find all sorts of things funny that i shouldn't laugh at, so i apologies if i have offended anyone.

@alex said:I cant remember the players involved, but a batsman had been having a hard time getting bat on ball one over, to which the bowler said "the ball is about this big, it's red, got stitches along the middle". Next ball, goes for six over the fence. The batsman says, "alright, you know what it looks like, go find it".
