In the presence of the Great English Bore

70% Informative
Sussex were playing Worcestershire in the County Championship at Hove .
The match was taking place in a four-day period of four days .
The game was being played in a relaxed, leisurely style of cricket.
But a man sitting a few rows behind me was talking continuously.
The Great English Bore has a voice that carries and there is little competition, for the reasons.
As far as he can see, every rapper and gang boss currently incarcerated in the U.S. has his own podcast.
This is driving him a bit mental. “Why haven’t I got a podcast?” he cries. And he’d be good, for he is most amusing. But life is not fair..
