Well South Africa have won the world cup … but rugby was not the winner! As I said in my last blog … mauling and brawling is not rugby, but as far back as I can remember South Africa have been able to maul and brawl, England dictated the nature of the game, it would …
In many ways I am a romantic! I believed that rugby was invented by a guy named Webb Ellis at Rugby in 1823 when he picked up a ball and ran. Whether this be true or nay, I cannot tell … however I have always been a lover of the game, since about the age …
Having just re-read my earlier blogs, I see, I left this question hanging. In the earlier blog my subject was dealing with the integrity of politicians … where I tried to show there is little difference between our first world politicians and those of the third world that we often smirk at.

If I listen to people around me, England have already lost The Ashes. I think it is still a case of “early days”. Yes, I am disappointed that our team is obsessed with playing Russian cricket … you know, they “rush out” then they “rush in” again! Please note I am at last prepared to …
This is a subject to which I will turn again and again. Firstly what is anarchy? To most of us it conjers up pictures of gangsters roaming the streets an shooting anyone at a blink of an eye. Or, maybe, some suicide bomber in Iraq blowing himself up with no care about the innocents that …
