Also Paul Cummings the Tour manager was there

I like it when a young Guy Fletcher burps!! ;D
A great find. Thanks for sharing.

Nice to see Michael Parkinson there as well.
The top UK TV talk show host.

Post by: boboDS on December 01, 2011, 10:10:59 PM: Yeah Terry was there, but can't see Chris, or maybe just can't recognize him.
Sorry for my ignorant quesiton, but who's the guy in the glasses? :)

Parkie is well known for his love of cricket, being a Yorkshireman I suppose. Still, what he was doing out there I do not know and I also wasn't aware he and Mark had previous. ???

I know Ed was joking around, but my impression is that he is a bit ... sleazy might be too strong a word, but you know what I mean.
