Nation of morons
This, by St Molesworth, is rather clever and there are others here .
In other news my punt on Ali Lauititi's Leeds Rhinos to beat the Bulldogs with a -5.5 point start paid off, even if my heart was in my mouht for the last 20 mins as the Bulldogs scored four unanswered tries.
Leeds won by 7 at $1.67 - goes some way to making up for the money Air NZ stole from me.
The league was also a refreshing break from the fucking Australian Open tennis commentary where there was almost as much dialogue discussing Hewitt's yelling "come on" on crucial points as there was discussing the match at hand.
Jesus Christ a sportsman showing passion on the court, what next?
And finally it's a sad day for satire across the Tasman. But what a brilliant proposed last headline....
