Not sure where you get your information. Cricket is still wildly popular in England. Not as much as football, but still.

And we already have baseball, but we play it properly, and call it rounders :-)

I don't think Amber comes here any more I'm afraid. I sent her an email the other day, and she's still in New York though. Seemed quite happy to be away from chinese-related work for the time being!

I'm as metrosexual as they come :-p It's not really the subject matter. I like your suggestion!

I think John and Jenny did their usual fantastic job in this lesson of making the subject matter interesting. Can I ask a favour though?

Recently, some of the elementary dialogues have been heartbreakingly dull. What happened to the funny dialogues, or the silly ones? I know you're trying to represent real life situations, but people remember things far better if they are funny, or silly, or shocking - it increases the ability to retain the information dramatically. So while having normal situations is great, and very useful, can we counterbalance it a little bit with slightly more interesting dialogue. I nearly fell asleep on the motorway listening to the fascinating story of a lady trying on some shoes and quite liking them.

Not in this context, I don't think.
