The Ashes

Post by englishangel »

I have so far reached my first knuckle while chewing my nails. At this rate I will have no arms left by the end of the series.

You should try following Formula 1 - you would have been armless years ago!

My daughter has an ongoing battle on Facebook regarding Formula 1, she dislikes it intensely as it is so boring. Get to the front and stay there, barring accidents. If road cars broke down as often as F1 we would all be walking.

Phew, a drawn match.

What a great match for a first at Cardiff.

Not fair, not fair, but the Aussies would have done exactly the same.

Steve McQueen would have been proud of that!

As for Ponting I thought it was us Poms who were supposed to whinge!

F.1 isn't as nearly predictable as it used to be with Ferrari, thank God. Red Bull seem to have got their act together and are now really challenging Brawn.

Incidently Mary, if road cars had the same power and performance as F.1 cars, they wouldn't last five minutes and road-kill would go up by 1,000 % !

Jan is well after the operation.
