Sri-Lankan cricketers have long names. So, the guys here decided to shorten names to accomodate them on the score board. A pilot project was mooted during England's last visit here.
Muralitharan was M'tharan
Jayawardene was J'dene
Sangakkara was S'kara, and so on.
The English:
Trescothick was T'thick
Collingwood was C'wood
But they had to abandon the project when they came to Flintoff.

You go toilet. I say 'No. I want two piece o' bread on plate' She say 'Sonoma bitch you no piece on plate, you piece in toilet'. She no even know me but she call me sonoma bitch.

I tell her I wanta fork on table. She say 'You better not fock on table you sonama bitch'. So I go back to my room in hotel. In my room there is no sheet on bed. So, I call the manager and tell him I want two sheet. He tell me 'You wanta sheet, go to toilet.' I tell him you no understand, I want two sheet on my bed.
