As you have no doubt heard by now, my second choice team (behind Bafana Bafana), England, crashed out of the World Cup on Sunday with a shocking performance against Germany in Bloemfontein.
Claire and I didn't watch the game. Instead we opted to spend the hottest day of the year outside enjoying the sunshine, taking in the fresh air and a…
If you haven't seen it yet, I'm sure you've heard or read about it. But just in case you haven't, here are the highlights, beautifully depicted in Lego...
I bet goalkeeper Robert Green feels more of a wally now.
Unlike any other country in the world, it's customary for the English to go to work on their patron saint's day. However like everyone else, they'll be getting bladdered in the pubs tonight.
It was only yesterday I was commenting on how winter has arrived already. Well, I can confirm it most definitely has. It snowed last night. It's certainly not the thickest snow I've seen in the UK, but certainly think it's the first time it's snowed in October since I've lived in the UK.
Oh my word, the South Africans have just been given a complete pasting by England in the 2nd One Day International at Trent Bridge. SA were all out for 83 in 23 overs and England replied with 85 for 0 in 14.1 overs. I don't think I want to watch the highlights tonight; it'll just be embarrassing.
Woohooo!!!! The Boks have done it again. They've beaten England for the 4th time in as many months and taken the Rugby World Cup in the process. Nice one booooyyyyyyys. Pity there weren't any tries (you know it wasn't a try England), and even more of a pity Bryan Habana couldn't set a new World Cup record with 9 tries.
We've been waiting for this great day since 18 September, and now we've only got a couple more hours to wait for what is going to be the best game in this year's rugby world cup.
I'm all stocked up on beer. I'll be popping out later to stock up on biltong, and then I'll have my bum firmly planted on…
Wooohooo!!! The Boks are into the rugby world cup final against England next weekend, and what a game it's going to be.
In a way, I can't wait until the world cup is over - the anxiety generated by each of the recent games has been unbelievable, and last night was no exception. Granted, it wasn't as nail biting as some…
Well done England. Finally a win on your winter cricket jolly tour down under.
However the damage has already been done...
Little Archie Vaughan (son of the England Captain) was at school this morning and the teacher asked all the children what their fathers did for a living.
All the typical answers came out, fireman, policeman, salesman, chippy, captain of industry etc,…
