Aardvark Me Dead, Damn those Frogs

Holy Shit !

I was shocked yesterday to see  in one of those newspapers that they give away at railway stations a photograph of a member of a precious protected species – the Wallabies – with one eye staring at the camera and the other eye having a little holiday somewhere in the back of the chap’s head.

He had some interesting facial embroidery accompanying his wandering orbit.

The story (sorry, I’m too slack to go find it – you can dig it out and I’ll post it) went on to say that THIS French rugby squad was terrifically well behaved and had almost weaned themselves off using the Christmas hold (a handful of nuts) as a primary part of their normative tactics.

But it is clear that they are certainly clinging to their other old chestnut – the digital eye massage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of these has got to be Os

I think that this is one part of the Australian defence sorely lacking  – the reprisal – and I am hoping that the Wallabies can enlist the services of my favourite game play persuader Os du Randt,  (through sheer force of personality) to persuade the French (who,  after all, have a chicken as their mascot) to cease and desist in playing with our boys’ wedding tackle and encouraging the Frogs to leave their opponents eyes comfortably ensconced in their sockets.

I’d like to send a personal thank you to Voice for the Aardvark joke.   Killed me.

If you missed it, you’ve either got a long search mission or you can send me an Email stapled to a tenner and I’ll explain it…..

The problem with the renos, Voice,  is stopping the car to change the flat tyre – or just putting up with the flapping until we get to the party.
