Fantabulous February

[Sweder]

It wasn't the Aussie commentators who were questioning the MBE. It was your lot.

Far be it from me to question the accuracy of your retort . . . but it's bollocks During the test match series (now there's an antiquated form of sport for you) a number of your super-friendly sporting heroes took to greeting Collingwood to the middle with the suggestion that he got his gong on the back of one match in 2005. I'm looking forward to reading that Aussie post-match dinner menu in full - watch out for 'sour grapes' and 'lashings of humble pie'.

By the way, Mr Buchannan recently bemoaned the lack of decent opposition before the World Cup.
Fancy a game?

I have to say the whole honours system is generating quite a lot of interest over here. Not least because there's an outside chance that President Blair might finally be ousted following the cash for honours investigations. As for the validity of the poncy medal handed out by some out-dated imperalist nonsensical waste-of-space, I quite agree. Any system that recognises the contribution of highly-rewarded sporting icons win bugger-all for their country (are you listening Mr Beckham?) is surely a load of old toss.
