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!

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

England vs South Africa

Now I am/ claim to be Welsh. I always have done, I always will. I enjoy watching England get beaten by most teams at rugby especially. However, on occasions like last night's thrashing by South Africa, a part of me is depressed, and remembers that I am technically 3/4 English... I have never seen a less competent, pathetic performance by a so-called top rugby side. South Africa were good, but England were abysmal. Atrocious kicking game (especially the missed kicks, Ben Kay trying the chip over the top, Perry missing touch, Farrell's drop outs going straight to SA's strengths), lack of support for the player going down in the ruck (balls turned over all over the place), the lack of basic skills of Perry and Farrell, the anonymity of captain Corry, the lack of decent backup in the sqaud to Wilkinson and Barkley (who, let's face it, are known to be injury-prone).

England are going to struggle against a fired-up Samoa.
