The World Cup was won by an English drop-kick and presented after the game by an Australian drop-kick.

I just want to thank Peter Voice for arranging a great picnic in the Zoo, paying for mine (and Ulla's) entry, then sitting and guarding the remenants of the food from crazed flys.

While we went off in groups to look at translusant lizards, giant tortoises, pygmie hippos, Syrian bears,packs of African hunting dogs, school children, patapus, crocodiles and elephants.....

Thanks Peter and everyone else who have paid up.
.(a couple more to collect worldwide lol !)

I would also like to thank the 2004 Engish Rugby Squad for allowing this to happen, especially the left footed genius of Jonny Wilkenson

Nickyboy,

Are the school children bred in captivity in Australia?

I heard it was a hell of a match, anyone know where i could get a copy of it? Local cable doesnt do rugby...yet.

[Peter Voice]

Nick,
The animal you saw was a platypus (patapus brings to mind something else altogether) and the goal was kicked by Jonny Wilkinson, Jonny Wilkensen is actually a dubious fish-monger at Victoria Market.

[nick nickolas]

Yes, it's coming back to me now....

Was there something in the wine you gave me ?

Or was it the Jubilation of the win ?

Were we at the zoo ?

Please tell....

Hello darlings
It has been a while since I have visited these wonderful pages and what do I find- people discussing something worth while for a change.
For those with joy in their hearts I would like to share somehting I received just recently
To be sung to the tune of "American Pie".
Not so long ago,
I can still remember how that rugby final made me smile.
And I knew if we had our chance
that we could muller Wales and France
and maybe we'd be happy for a while.
But Saturday made the Aussies shiver
with every point our boys delivered.
Bad news, Mr Gregan;
your coach is worse than Keegan.
I can't remember if I sighed when I watched our Jason score the try.
But something made me howl with pride
the day the Aussies cried.
Say bye bye; go and eat humble pie.
Always beat you when we meet you.
It's no word of a lie.
and England boys will drink their beer through the night
singing "Aussie rugby union is sh*te".
"Aussie rugby union is sh*te".
We stick to the book of rules
and we still make Aussies look like fools.
Everybody knows it's true.
And we do believe in ruck and maul
While Aussies always drop the ball and
can we teach them how to drop real goals.
Well I knew that day you wouldn't win
cos I saw you training in the gym.
You lobbed the ball around
but you didn't make any ground.
Your were a bunch of useless Wallabies
Oh you think you're great but are just wannabe's.
But I knew you'd be on your knees
the day we crushed your pride.
I started singing;
Bye bye, Billy's ours. Gotta gloat:
Off to England; yes, that's ENGLAND.
Don't that stick in your throat.
and Aussie press will have to eat what they wrote.
Singing "Come on, Campo, give us a quote".
"Come on, Campo, give us a quote".
I met a man called Eddy Jones.
His voice was thick with winging tones.
he just cried and moaned all day.
He claimed the English were a bore
but I'd heard that bullshit years before
and the fact was that the Aussies couldn't play.
On the pitch the English roared.
The feeble Aussie pack was floored.
Not a word was spoken.
The Aussie dream was broken.
And the one man that he feared the most,
when England took it to their hosts;
He put the ball right through the posts
the day.........the Aussies.....cried.
And he was singing'
Bye bye, so we both got a try.
It's so boring when your scoring
against rugby's small fry.
And Woodward's boys will drink their beers through the night
singing Kefu, Jones and Gregan are sh*te.
Kefu, Jones and Gregan are sh*te.

You have to admit, it brings a tear to your eye.
You can hear the last few seconds ofthe gameif you go to BBC Radio Five live.

Rugby was invented when some posh kid got frustrated while playing football/soccer and picked up the ball and ran with it. Thus the sport of playing football badly (rugby)was invented.

No wonder England are the best in the world at playing soccer very badly.

The US americans didn't want to be second best at playing football badly so they invented their own version. Both versions of badly played football involve an egg and the use of your hands. The name Handegg never caught on however.

What amazes me is how the Aussies and Kiwis devote so much of their culture to playing football badly even better than we do.

it'll be another 40 years before we win another world cup.

That said it's a beautiful sport and how any body can kick a warped ball so bloody straight is beyond me. I'm glad I can juggle, cos I'm crap at soccer and even worse at the playing soccer badly.
