Every day I feel more comfortable


Seems my decision (see below) has been made far easier by the recent goings on in RSA sport. Now England thrash RSA for the second time in ODI's. Hey man, when Andre Nel top scores at number 9 with 13 runs (mind you he has Gunter with him most of the time)then one can't stop thinking..."when will it stop"??? I see Jake White has offered to "save" the Boks now, says De Villiers has never coached in a professional capacity and is obviously out of his depth..Ho Hum.....

Was very interesting to see the huge thing that was made of the Aussie Athletes return to home soil - Jumbo's in airport hangers, the Prime Minister greeting and kissing the girls, family, speaches and fun. They are just so proud of their performances. Even didn't stop the Poms from having some fun though in Sydney - along the theme of the "Where the bloody hell are ya" ad campaign the Aussies tried on in the UK last year. So they drove a truck around the city proclaiming "Where the Bloody hell WERE ya?" (The Poms got more Gold than the Aussies). The UK papers are full of it, despite the Aussies getting way more medals than them, and they didn't mention the Ashes rematch next year (Australia beat the Poms 5-0 last time)..BUT they did get more Gold than the Aussies - you gotta love this..

On the way to work this morning, the local radio station was interviewing Jess Shipper (a Brisbane girl who won gold) and even got her to go to the station loo and remove her knickers so they could put them on EBay...you gotta love the style of these guys....
