Too much sport is...

.. barely enough, or so Roy and HG say.

This weekend was a case that certainly tested the theory. Due to poor weather outside, sitting in front of the TV was the place to be. And for sport I had to choose from:

• V8 Supercars, in Bahrain (Live)
• Tri-Nations Rugby League final - Australia vs NZ (Live)
• Wallabies vs Scotland rugby union (Live)
• The Ashes first test (Live and replayed! Not sure which I enjoyed more)

Over the internet I also had the Huskers playing their final game of their regular conference season, before their conference championship game.

I was in armchair sportsperson heaven. And adding to that was that Australia won all their matches this weekend across the two football codes and cricket.

The only downside? No one wanted to discuss the matches with me.

Socceroos 2

We have tickets to the next game the Socceroos play in London.

February 6 next year sees the team take on Denmark in a friendly at Loftus Road, which is where we saw them play Ghana.

The game versus Ghana was alot of fun with the crowd about two-thirds Australians. It made for one heck of a 'home crowd'.

Hopefully for the next game we will be able to cheer them onto a victory, which they should have had against the Ghanians, but for the inability to 'finish' plays.

Toothless

No, I am not talking about England's performance against the Prime Minister's eleven in the cricket last Friday! It's me, of sorts.

About 14 months ago, while in Sydney I had a crown put on one of my front teeth, to replace the work done on the tooth back in 1989 when I smashed it on new year's day while playing in my street.

The crown looked really good and I had forgotten about it until this morning. I bit into a biscuit at a conference in central London while having morning tea and felt things move. I checked it out and yes, the crown didn't look right.

So an emergency call to the dentist in central London got me an appointment and the crown had broken. So a small repair was made but I have to go back tomorrow for a more in depth appointment to prepare a new crown. Hopefully, this time we will get it right.
