This Aussie certainly did ..... into the messagebank of every pom I know downunder (and one or two in the UK). Funny thing is none of them called me back even though I also sent them text messages on the same matter. Seems they didn't mind dishing it out during/after the Brisbane Test (I was the only gold jersey in a sea of red there) but decided they really preferred World Championship darts after Melbourne & Sydney.

you have got to start learning english english at some point or another, after all, us brits are having to learn american english to be able to understand all those films (movies) about how you saved our arses (butts) during the 1939 -1945 (1941 - 1945) war.. now we all know the obvious ones, such as you calling a car bonnet the hood, the boot is the trunk and a spanner being a wrench etc etc.

At least it made sense when he said it (and he sincerely believed it no doubt) but never is a long long time, especially for politicians of any persuasion.

"The greatest British hymn? "Abide With Me""

"Flower of Scotland" has always impressed me.

England v United? My money would be on United - too many englishmen playing for England for them to win!!!

As far as the cricket is concerned, hopefully Gilchrist has learned his lesson that in a test against the old enemy, you make sure the game is out of their reach before declaring. I can't believe he did that. Very much doubt Steve Waugh would have been so generous.
