Why did I bother learning English ? I could have managed with old French : "Vous êtes un poltron, Messire". !

Autralia 3 England 1 - the good news being that the England 2nd's at least broke even (1-1) with us in the 2nd half.

I'll try to catch the highlights tonight and let you know. I'm suprised you didn't watch it seeing as it was such a big deal down under. Big screens erected to watch it - you've got to laugh!

How did you know I hadn't seen the game buddy - you're right though

. Sleep looked to be the more attractive option, though I did watch the last 20 mins when I got up at my standard time of 05:30 am. I did get to see both 2nd half goals. By the sounds of it, we were much more impressive in the 1st half, and I am about to watch that while having my tea tonight [img]smile.gif[/img] .
