World Cup Nonsense

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Incidentally, I've had one of those shirt-number spreadbets on the Australia-Croatia game. I'll win £1 for every number over 30 on the scoresheet. And lose £1 for every number under 30 .

Stop press: Bad news all round -- Not only have Croatia scored but it was only the number 2 who got it :mad: :mad: . Come on you SheilaRoos!!

Hey you did alright after that though Andy - numbers 38, 56 and 78. Nice one Centurion, like it, like it.

On the question of renaming the Socceroos - I guess you're being deliberately rude, which I of course understand and highly approve of, but I would hate to see you wander drunkenly in or out of some pub somewhere yelling "Come on you Sheilaroos" - you'd stand a good chance of being not-so-ritually disembowelled by an irate Aussie if there one about. It's a bit like calling you a Thatcherite - not nice, and not something I'd say aloud in public.

If you want to rename them, given your apparent affection for boomerangs, and the teams likely demise in the next round or so, how about the "Alsorangs"? Now that could get me disembowelled...
