Only to those who aren't passionate about it Eric.  ;D Now as for football (soccer)!!! ::)

Seems the UK or at least that part of it in the south west, is enjoying a rare spell of fine weather. What a pity. 8) 8) 8)

Our cricketers will meet the Aussies soon. We may as well concede before it all begins and save the humiliation. ???

Vicious frost this morning. Ice on the INSIDES of the windows. Oh for double-glazing.

Good on the English for holding on to the end for a draw!  Well done!

I find soccer (football) about as interesting as paint drying.... can't understand why so many 100 million dollars is wasted on a single player.  Talk about a waste of money!  :o  BUT, each to his own and I can accept that others like it.  ;D  Boring place if we all liked everything exactly the same. ;)

Hmmm... having seen some of the news reports now of the time wasting that took place (including bringing the team physio on to waste time, when there was no-one there needing any help  ???).... I am perhaps a little less congratulatory of the English cricket team for holding on.  Sounds like it was those methods that saved them, rather than proper cricket.  A shame really, as I had thought it was just the "tail wagging" which I think is always brilliant (particularly with how poorly the upper order did in this case... so often the lower order show them how it should be done!  ;D).

Congrats to those in the team who did stick to the spirit of the game though.  Well done to you guys! 8)

Yes, this is not a "I'm so happy", but I started it here so I figured it shouldn't be taken to another topic mid-discussion.

Might as well get the rest of the sport out of the way.......  ;)

Yay to Mark Webber.  SO nice to see an Aussie win a Formula One Grand Prix.  First time since 1981.  And he comes from Queanbeyan, which is adjacent to Canberra (just over the border in New South Wales), so he's a local.  Go Mark!!  Congratulations!

OK, I'll stop being happy about sport how, well at least vocally anyway.  ;D

We call them "Isblommor" = Ice flowers. Ice ferns would be a better word.

If that is the way the England team are going to play the game I can only hope that the Aussies secure full retribution and beat us 5-0!

The Aussies can't win 5-0 .... the first was a draw. But I'd still be quite happy with 4-0 ;D  Heck, 1-0 at the end would be good enough!  ;)

"Who said this Ashes series could never reproduce the drama of 2005" - "England's nail biting last-wicket draw in Cardiff"
These are quotes fom an English newspaper yesterday. If cricket is becoming as exciting as this I might just set up tiered seating round a Cardiochrinum for a year or two.
