I like the licorice sort. :-) Oz is being trounced by South Africa at moment - only two days to go. Perhaps the game will end in a draw? SE: We have some good snakes to eat in Oz.

Why can’t the English
Teach their children how to speak
Norwegians learn Norwegian
The Greeks are taught their Greek
In France every Frenchman
Knows his language from A to Zed
The French don’t care what they do actually
As long as they pronounce it properly

Arabians learn Arabian
With the speed of summer lightning
And the Hebrews learn it backwards
Which is absolutely frightening
But use proper English, you’re regarded as a freak
Oh why can’t the English
Why can’t the English
Learn to speak!

I forget how a test match ends. I’ve been invited to the members at the SCG a few times – a mate works behind the bar, and manages to stand me a few drinks. I forget how a test match ends.

The Saffers were pretty dismal; their batting was very scrappy although they'll avoid the follow on. Crowd wise Bay 13 was in fine form with the Constabulary ejecting patrons at a furious pace. Offences varied from indulging in beer drinking contests to flashing breasts, indeed, in one case the two were combined with an attractive young lady sculling her drink and then showing her wares. Her boyfriend could not be reached for comment. Lee continued to struggle, Siddle had a fantastic second spell (and he’s a Victorian, which always goes down well).
