A few days late, but annoying it was shown live on 2 TV channels considering only ITV showed the actual game. Pity it wasn't on Sunday so we could have throngs of kids there instead of bunking off from school, but as President Blair was in Nigeria on that day, he decided to grab the limelight from the lads and hold it on a day that suited him.
Anyone notice the nice grey suits the team wore were RUINED with brown shoes?
Anyone prayed that at the photoshoot at Buckingham Palace where the corgi's were sniffing, that one would actually cock its leg or squat for the camera's? I know I did!!
Finally, hats off to those patriotic lads who braved the cold weather and jumped into Trafalger Fountains for 30 minutes, resulting in Hypothermia and triple pneuomonia

When I lived in London, there used to be a couple of tailor's dummies in Turnbull and Asser's in Jermyn Street that were clothed just so ; one of them had a Prince of Wales check suit and a pair of suede brogues. Prince Big Ears himself often sports this combination and so do many of his type.

So not too surprising that the RFU toffs do same. Mind you, they looked a damned sight better than Liverpool's 1996 white Armani catwalk parade at Wembley. I was there and it stunk the place out ! Still a treasured memory second only to Dieu scoring with 5 minutes to go.

See the overacting media making something out of nothing with Johnny Wilkinson (MBE as of today) 'Death Crash'? He skidded and dented his panel on a tree. An everyday occurance, but the frenzied media made it sound like a rally car crash proportion.
