Firstly, Happy Australia Day (well it is belated if you are in Oz, but not if you are in London) :-P
I have good news and I have bad news. The bad news is that my boys in SA lost their first cricket test series to England at home, in 40 years. The poms are gloating here in England. I apologise for my countrymens' inability to avert that shame.
The good news: you Aussies have gained a whole SHED load of new supporters for the Ashes clash coming up. That's right, I have discussed this with my fellow saffers here in the UK and we have decided that Australia is no longer the Sporting Country We Love To Hate. No, sir. We have all been to the tattoo parlours and got our Aussie flag tattoos on our left buttocks. We will be supporting you with gusto!
Signed: X-ray (and millions of other bitter saffers)
