I bet some of you thought we'd signed a new striker when you saw that word. It's 'strine' (Australian) and is the local lingo for "Australia'. Don't worry I still have my Yorkshire accent even after spending the last 48 years here and still get the occasional "Wadda-yasigh mite"? Just though this little video might make you feel a bit warmer during your 'first time in 2 years' snow. Have a nice day everyone:
A Possum broke into a bakery overnight here in Oz and ate that many pastries that he couldn't move. This is how they found him the following morning: please log in to view this image
Old Sam (Kekovitch) has a string of these, all well worth a look on YouTube. Richie must have cost them a small fortune. He is recovering from skin cancer just now.
I know China aren't ranked very high in World Soccer and neither are Australia but here in the Asian Cup that old war-horse Tim Cahill showed again that he is no 'spent force' by netting twice in Australia's 2-0 win.
Iraq captain Younis Mahmood is currently a free agent, he's gotta be worth a trial? Although I doubt he'd get a work permit, Iraq are ranked 114th. They've just got through the QF's against S. Korea and they have a young lad playing for them who made his debut at 16, Humam Tariq, he really does look a prospect.
