 I ordered the new Beefy and Boonie talking dolls weeks ago and when do you think they finally turned up? Yep, the last day of the last test, but I was at work and the test finished early (tests are all four days now arn't they?) so it was over by the time I took them out of their box. I assumed that was it and I'd never hear them talk, until a few days ago when I flew out of the shower to see who was shouting in the lounge only to find Boonie asking Beefy to chuck him a VB. Beefy declined claiming that Boonie would probably drop it. They said a few more things during the day and then nothing. Tonight about 30 minutes before the 20/20 match started Boonie asked me to put the VB on ice because the cricket was about to start. YES! they are still alive. They obviously know that it's a 20/20 game because Boonie reckons he loves them because he can get to the pub quicker. They have chatted to each other a few times during the game and then I assume they will go quite until the next game. They have a little infrared thingy on them like a remote control so that they can talk to each other. Apparently they fired up on Melbourne cup day and started singing Christmas Carols on the 25th! This is fun, but it still scares me a little bit when you think you are the only person in the house and you hear "Ooh, Ahh, Glen McGrath" shouted out from the lounge room!
