The Cricket Show's Episode of Cricket Talk-Leon Francis Host

JOIN US AS WE CELEBRATE A SPECIAL:  Panelist SIMON & IRMA O’BRIEN CELEBRATING THEIR  57th YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.  Rumor has it that it was Simon who said, “Suddenly all the love songs were about Irma.”  In reply Irma is rumored to have said,” I wish I could turn the clock back.  I’d find you sooner and love you longer.” {acknowledgement to authors unknown}.
