West Indies crash to 379-run defeat

Speaking of all things cricket, the 1st Test between Australian and the West Indies finished today. The following says it all:

Australia v West Indies, 1st Test, Brisbane, 4th day

West Indies crash to 379-run defeat
Brett Lee and Nathan Bracken produced an exhilarating display of sheer pace and controlled swing that routed West Indies on the fourth day at the Gabba
Scorecard | Bulletin | Verdict - Supporting act steps up | 'This was probably the worst' - Chanderpaul | ''I'm there to bowl fast' - Lee | Match home

It's going to be a long hot unforgiving summer for the WIndies.

Early Birthday Present for Me

Out Of My Comfort ZoneI got a nice surprise this week at work. I got an early birthday present from one of my team members.

It was a signed copy of the Steve Waugh autobiography "Out Of My Comfort Zone".

Yes, it was signed by the great man himself. The dedication read:"To Frank, Come on The Saints", complete with signature.

Well, I was lost for words.

Thanks Andrew for this most thoughtful gift!

The Young Ones

The Young Ones (Series 1)We decided to introduce our kids to the classic cult comedy, The Young Ones. We introduced them to The Goodies a while back, which they all loved, so surely they would like The Young Ones.

The DVDs were on sale at the ABC Shop, so we bought series 1 and series 2.

I explained to Bricey that it was like a live action cartoon, so he was happy to watch.

I hadn't re-watched the series for years, so it was good fun reliving the show again, with the surreal segues, the live musical acts, the wacky puppets. Hard to believe the show is over 20 years old now

Oh, and the kids liked it too.
