One thing I will miss (UK)
Jeremy Clarkson.
he is so funny and astute. I can well imagine "sandal wearers" considering him right wing though. He was saying yesterday that noobe ever remembers the title of classical music just the music from an advert or the "one people clap to at the Horse of the Year show".
Incidentally, after the soccer vs rugby debate here on expats, on Saturday he was saying - in the Sun(!) - that Rugby should become our new national sport as:
a) we are better at it
b) the players are not paid as much
c) they are better educated
d) have better haircuts!!
He said that Becks can miss, we can go scoreless against Turkey, have a scuffle in the Tunnel and it's a STILL a source of national pride!!!
lol.

you are probably right badge but football has more support at all levels.
football can be played by anyone - unlike rugby with it's more complicated rules - and is played in most countries in the world, and dont forget that if there was no football there would be no rugby.

Hey pete we are going to buy an Attenborough DVD box set for Chrimbo.
Can you recommend "Life on Earth" or the "Living Planet". We want one of the first ones he did. (Life on Earth was 1979!!)

Out of the two, i would choose Life on Earth. They are both great.
Living planet (1984) is more about the planet, and how it formed and life began, taking you through to life as it exists today.
Life on earth (1988) is more focused on todays life, and is a synopsis of all life on the planet.
My favorite was actually one of the more recent. I loved the blue planet. Excellent stuff

Having been to Oz three times in the last 12 months and carried out extensive research the thing I will miss the most is good Scottish Ale. It is lager, lager or lager with the occasional fizzy pale ale. Blah!
There is nothing near the taste of a pint of heavy....unless someone can tell me different.
Ken
Clarkson - Very good.
But I will also miss Off the ball on Saturday afternoon!!!
