    Sing when we're winning.

    (although it's not really 'we' on here anymore). Ah well, Scotland next.

    Well that's three massive disappointments today then - Charlton losing, Surrey blowing the One-Day final and now this.

    I am therefore leaving immediately for Nepal, where I intend to live as a goat.

    As a fair and affable employer, I had allowed my man to have a few hours off from his duties, hence the error.

    Ruffles has a far greater talent for detail, you see. He's back on duty today, though.

    Me getting Georgia proves ponders doesn't take bribes.

    That or I was a cheapskate.

    Haven't seen anything with the exception of Japan. Doing the internet rounds now.

    But if we won (I'm an adopted Georgian, not the Hanoverians), then what a start. Come on!!!

    Yeah they did, but they aren't going to do anything in the tournament and now they probably won't come last in their group, so he is correct, he's ****ed.

    That would have been me had I accepted his 'bribe'...

    It boggles the mind, M.

    Japan, japan, japan. Big day for us today. Bring em on. (I'll probably need a dose of rugby tonight given that Charlton are in action too).

    Japan to win by a margin of five points or less. <ok>

    How are you doing, M? Any luck with those yields?

    They are doing great Ponders, the price of foreclosures in Orlando have gone up 14.21% in the last year, which is great for the people who have already bought, not so good for people still wanting to buy, although still a great deal for them. We are running out of cheap property to get our clients, so we are going to get ones in Pittsburgh and Detroit too.

    So obviously you aware of the US government's plans to invest almost a trillion bucks in rundown cities such as Detroit - hence the reason for you buying up the foreclosures ahead of an economic revival in said cities. Top work, M. <ok>

    Detroit has been on the up for years, it is just that people don't believe it unless it says so in the papers and it is getting more coverage in the press now. Generally, people are very stupid, they would rather get 3% a year for their investment in Doncaster, as opposed to 15% a year in the USA.

    Japan are available at 11/2 which seems extremely good odds considering Scotland's recent record and 12th place world ranking (Japan are 11th)

    I think they are 6/1 with Skybet. Yeah they are a great price, but I just can't see them beating us. Scotland went into the World Cup as 10th in the world and Japan were 13th, Japan are only ahead of us now because of their win on Friday and the fact that we didn't play.
