First England lost the Rugby World Cup and the Hamilton narrowly missed out on the F1 Championship. The latter could, however, be in doubt as controvosey over illegal fuel in 3 cars ahead of Hamilton (he finished 7th but needed 5th to take the title). If those cars get disqualified, Hamilton wins the championship so its going to court! Kind of a shameful way to end what has been the best season of Formula 1 in years but if it means Hamilton wins..... im not going to object!
As to the Rugby - im content with second place. We shouldn't really have reached the quater-finals yet alone beat Australia and France to get to the final. It was still a close match and England were severely disadvantaged by a disallowed try which, replays show, clearly should have been allowed. Did the match turn on that? Perhaps but it doesnt really matter - we beat the French on their turf again - thats all that counts!
The only good thing to come out of sport last weekend was Liverpool's 2:1 victory over dirty Everton who had 2 men sent off. They now sit 4th in the table with a game in hand over Man United and Man City who sit above them although even at this early stage we'll do well to catch Arsenal at the top. Although there not playing the smooth football that left them unbeaton in the 2002/2003 season, its effective! Now for Champions league this week - Liverpool play Besiktas away from home. A game we really need to win!
And finally, the news! (Sounds abit like the 2 Ronnies!) In Canberra, a cemetery is training its gravediggers in emergency first aid and how to use defibrillators in order to ressucitate grief striken mourners at a funeral. It's a good idea but from a business point of view, seems somewhat counter-productive!
Another criminal from Berlin got arrested last week after slightly misunderstanding the term "getaway". A construction worker stole a packet of cheese from a local store before making his getaway in his cement truck. Police caught up with him when he stopped at traffic lights 200yrds down the road.
And finally from Washington DC. The pentagon made something of a recording error regarding its contract with Boeing to maintain some of its airforce fleet. The draft contract named the pricely sum of $24billion, the single largest contract the DoD (department of defence) has issued. After pointing out the error, officials confirmed it should infact be $24million - 3 orders of magnitude lower! Boeing are probably disappointed!
