"Swing Low....

Sweet Chariot, Coming For To Carry Me Home,
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, Coming For To Carry Me Home,
I Looked Over PARIS, And What Did I See...."

Still can't believe we did it. After such a poor start to the tournament, getting to another World Cup Final is absolutely miraculous! Congratulations to Ashton, Wilko et al.

Another victory for the nation's footie team too... what an excellent weekend to be English! Bring on the Ruskies.

Went into Brandon yesterday, with Ovie. In Wal-Mart, there was a couple of men promoting a cancer charity, and selling bracelets and badges to raise money. Further scrutiny showed that the stand was sponsored by the Winnipeg Bombers, Winnipeg's Canadian football team. Now, I know very little about the CFL, but me and George watched the Bombers lose last week. We were not too impressed!



Ovie was more taken with the mascot. After discussing football, and, erm, football with these gentlemen, they introduced themselves as Brad Newman and Dave Lowry, Linebackers for the Bombers!! Could you imagine some of the prima donnas from the Premier League giving up their time in Asda or Tescos for charity!





CJ starts work tomorrow, and I think she's quite looking forward to it. The unit on which she shall be working, is quite new, and has quite a few pieces of modern kit... I'm sure we all wish her the best of British (and Canadian!)


God Save The Queen

God Bless Canada
