FREE INSIDE THE BUG: 4 POINT SUPPLEMENT TO THE ASHES

To commerate the Ashes, a cricket competition between England and Australia, The Bug publishes a 4 point supplement today, free to all readers

1. Cricket was invented by a fat English public schoolboy called Webb Ellis in 1624
2. He was playing football at the time and having been beaten up for picking the ball up and running with it, and so inventing rugby, he then threw it back. Ever since a 'bowler' who has had enough after a good beating pleads "over"
3. The Ashes were created in 1882, when England first lost to Australia. An MCC member incensed at losing at cricket for the first time, burnt down the Australian National Museum of Literature. It contained a copy of Nuts Magazine, a Germaine Greer book that nobody understood and a copy of Womens Weekly. The Ashes were then placed in an urn....a very small urn
4. Freddie Flintoff's real name is Andrew. He is called Freddie because he scares the shit out the Australians, the old Australians that is, the ones that were world beaters, let alone this current squad of novices .......Freddie is coming to get you! Enjoy the summer
