Ashes to ashes......

Well, they did it - England regained the Ashes after 18 years!

....and isn't it making life for us Aussies in the UK hell.

To be absolutely fair, England played the better game and deserved to win, sorry, I mean draw, oh yeah, they did win. Maybe the selectors back home will start to include some fresh new talent in the test squads now that our tired old team is starting to lose its edge.

Bridie's work was kind of enough to provide a live video feed to all computers so that staff could watch the final test, it also meant that everyone in her vicinity felt the need to continually comment on the game whenever they saw her.

We like to look on the bright side though - we both get to keep our jobs - ;)

Honestly, we don't know what's worse actually - England wins; England loses - either way we get grief.

Hopefully now our colleagues will concentrate on the football (aka soccer) and leave us alone - well ..... until the World Cup, that is.

This week I have been travelling with 23 Australians and 1 Brit. He's been insufferable! I just remind figure he's got 18 years of gloating to release.
