England Beat Australia

**********************************************
I'll be on Sky News at 10pm talking about a
possible election, followed by their short
paper review at 10.30, then off to News 24
for their paper review at 11.45pm
**********************************************
I know nothing about Rugby. I rarely watch it. But I did watch some of the game this afternoon. John Howard, Rolf Harris, Dame Edna, Sir Les, Lucas Neill, Malcolm Fraser, Kevin Rudd, Harry Kewell... your boys took a helluva beating! Now back to the West Ham v Aston Villa commentary...

Just shows you the underdog's can win - thanks to the internet its already been possible to share sports man like commiserations with the convicts.

Havent you heard Iain, he has chickened out. It's no longer just the LibDem's who are yellow.

You would think he might go for an English feel good factor but the one eyed pratt wouldn't no one.

How embarrising though the co-commentary of ex England RU player Stuart Barnes, the rose coloured glasses he wears!

In 80 minutes the ball must have been in play for about 25% of the time and the disgisting state of the scrums is blamed on Rugby League, which is much faster!

I prefer my "Shane Warne, Donn Bradman, Ian Thorpe, Cathy Freeman, Evonne Goolagong, Lleyton Hewitt, John Howard, your boys took a hell of a beating!" but what a wonderful day. Gordon Brown will live to regret this decision and I will enjoy watching that.

Great win for the Villa! Well done lads -putting the Claret and Blue usurpers in their place!

The Australians are obsessed with sport. My sister’s husband is an Aussie and I will never forget their wedding reception, which was held the weekend after their marriage. My brother-in-law was the apple of his father’s eye. However, his father had tickets for an Australia - South Africa test match, which was held on the same day. There was no contest. The father went to the match, rather than his only son’s wedding reception. I was delighted when he came back half way through the reception. I asked him if he’d changed his mind. “No” he replied “We were losing so I left.”
