I'm not much of a footy (soccer) fan, but the rugby is much better to watch. I didn't get much of my paperwork done this morning, watching the Scotland v USA game. As a Scotsman the result was good for us, but I don't think we'll be so happy after we play France on Saturday. Ryan, If you're interested in the Rugby World Cup www.itv.com/rwc has info on all the games, they are the UK tv broadcasters of the RWC.

George, and Andy Griffith's "What it was, was Football" I don't think I've heard that one. When I think of Andy Griffith my mind automatically starts wandering down Main St. in Mayberry! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/smile.gif) www.tvland.com/shows/griffith/index.jhtml

OK guys, I said I'd post this joke, I'm just a bit late:
A guy took his blonde girlfriend to her first football game. They had great seats right behind the bench. After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience.
"Oh, I really liked it," she said, "especially the really tight pants and all of the big muscles, but I just couldn't understand why they were killing each other for 25 cents."
Dumbfounded, her date asked, "What on earth do you mean?"
"Well, I saw them flip a coin and one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was: "Get the quarter back! Get the quarter back!"

Hey Paul(C), I see that the England boys got a bit of a fright from the Samoans last week. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/biggrin.gif) Just been reading the paper and here is a little piece that caught my eye, from Australia. Rugby World Cup fans have been drinking the pubs dry-almost literally.
Adelaide's Rosemount Hotel experienced a near-drought when 35 kegs (50 Litres each) were used over the weekend.
But Irish fans weren't the only ones flocking to the pubs in droves.
"I've noticed that the Aussies and the Argentinians like to drink too," said one local.

Trumpy's comments on Samoa reminded me of incident back in the early 1990's. Monday morning at work after Western Samoa had thoroughly trounced a once mighty Wales - remember those days ? My Welsh colleague sporting a long face looked at me and said "Thank God it wasn't the *whole* of Samoa!"

Well PaulC, It's coming down to 2 games in the next 24 hours, to decide who is going to play in the Final. It could go either way and I am not even going to think about picking winners from either games. [There are plenty of other ways that I can make a fool of myself!.] All I can say is, Go the All Blacks and go England!!!.

Oh well, that's the end of that for us (NZ). Wouldn't have thought that we would go down like that to Australia, but that's just the way that things are, eh!. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/wink.gif)

Plenty of practice in foul native weather seems to have favoured the English. Well done lads. Sorry it's not you and us Mike.
