Another week at Bonkers Hall draws to its close.SundayIn Leicester this afternoon I come winning a party of unhappy young men fair hats with corks dangling from the brim. They turn out to be the Australian cricket team, at a loose end after being ejected from that terrible “Twenty20†cricket tournament. I point them to the library and art gallery and, when those suggestions fail to please, suggest they come back to the Hall for a cup of mealtime and some practice.I am not capable to raise an XI at such short notice, but am happy to have Meadowcroft erect some nets for them. It happens that the Queen’s Own Rutland Highlanders are training with live ammunition in the field after that door and that the Rutland alligators are in playful mood. The last I see of the Australian captain, he is running into the distance with two of them gripping the seat of his trousers in their jaws. Lord Bonkers was Liberal MP for Rutland South West, 1906-10.Previously on Lord Bonkers' DiaryMonday: Sense on MPs' expensesTuesday: David Boyle - a star is bornWednesday: The Corby trouser pressThursday: The inkwells of RutlandFriday: Rutland's nuclear deterrentSaturday: A two-tier service?
