However nice to get one in.

Was this not a quote from our "attache to the court of St James" of yesteryear, Sir Les Patterson??

Still topical today in certain circumstances.

Not much chance of that I reckon. Sadly I think we are in for a spate of hand wringing and gossip magazine stories about how traumatic circumstances were responsible for the loss.
Emigrating to Norway is looking better and better in many ways I feel.

Sadly yes.
I think that the Australian cricket team is about to be taught a very brutal lesson in humility.

I'm a Kiwi so in theory I shouldn't care if the Ozzies lose The Ashes. That said I have two comments:

1. You cant go forever without a loss....as Scribbly says they should take it on the chin and move onto the next showdown with the Poms.
2. Everyone is calling for Ponting to be sacked as Captain. Unfortunately these same people havent addressed the question of who would be an appropriate replacement??

Let the Poms enjoy it - it won't last all that long - will just make our next winning team all the stronger and the victory all the sweeter.

In the world of sport I only support 2 teams - #1 = Aussies, #2 = any team opposing the Poms
