Tressell, Postgate and Brown.

By Brian Halford on Dec 11, 08 08:33 AM

"There is no-one, no-one at all, who will be, after reading it, quite the same as he was before." (Pamela Fox on Robert Tressell's masterpiece, 'The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists').

"My Muse finally said 'enough is enough'. The pleasure of sitting in a disused pig-sty and cowshed for eight weeks at a time, sweat rolling down my wrists, moving Ivor the Engine a sixteenth of an inch at a time, had vanished." (Oliver Postgate on his retirement from animation in the early 1980s)

"Dougie's appointment means I have now got things pretty much where I want them." (Ashley Giles on Dougie Brown's appointment, today, as assistant coach at Warwickshire). "Now," added Giles, "I have the team I want to move forward with and, with a new captain as well, we can all really start to plan and look ahead."

Congratulations Dougie

DR Brown for Director of Cricket soon for me too, because I am sure Ashley will be next in line for England.
I want to wish Keith all the best too, I have watched him work with the young wicket keepers during the off season,and (nobody does it better ) I am sure there is a song in there somewhere
