Off On One Again

A blog of no interest to anyone apart from me. Highly egotistical. Somewhat ironic that once upon a time people kept diaries secret. Now we publish to the world, even if no-one is listening (or reading). This may include stuff on Greece, history, rugby, cricket, Health and Safety, Wales, genealogy and West Hendred. It will almost certainly include complete rants about things I find amusing, interesting or annoying. There is no guarantee that anyone will share my views!

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Didcot, Oxon, United Kingdom

37, forgetful, cynical, sarcastic, would like to have been a struggling artist but ended up with a PhD in chemistry. Got bored with being in the lab, fell into Health and Safety and now can't get out of science without taking a pay cut. Rather enjoying the diversion into Environmental compliance. Unfit and terminally depressed. Lovely wife Sam - just about all that keeps me together. Son Rafferty GFX Hall born 24 Oct 2005 is growing up quickly. Greyhound (Buddy), cats (PJ and Boots), tortoises (Tinkerbell and Compost). Learning Greek at Evening Classes. Play Cricket badly for Didcot CC, haven't played rugby for years and am a little annoyed about that. According to my medical, am clincially obese. Earn far too little. Completed H&S and Environmental Diplomas

Argentina

After that performance (beating France in the World Cup opener), it is a disgrace that they are not in the Tri-Nations southern hemisphere tournament or the VI Nations. They are rated 5 or 6 in the world, and have now beaten France on 5 of the last 6 occasions that they have played them, but SA, NZ and Aus refuse to let them into their club. We shoudl be spreading the creed of rugby, not ring-fencing it. Samoa and Fiji and Tnga will have their best players poached by the Suepr 14 sides after the World Cup, and those players will sign contracts which make it financially non-viable to play for their countries.

Great tournament in progress, but the 8 semi-finalists will be England, Ireland, NZ, Australia, Wales, South Africa, Italy or Scotland, and 2 of France, Argentina or Ireland. That's just too predictable. It needs to be spread further.
