At least she is a winner!!!  Not many of those in Ozland at the moment. Even Cadell Evans (last years winner of the Tour de France) is struggling against the two British leaders in this years race.

Then Gillard and Obama will both pose the question "Just who is that 'guy' holding David E's hand."  ::)

I dont want to talk about cycling just now..... :-[ :-[ :-[

But what on Earth makes you describe Gillard as a "winner" ???? She got her position by knifing Kevin (the mouth) Rudd and by doing a crippling deal with the Greens (who actually run the Country now).

She and her Party never got a mandate from the voters, due to our incredibly stupid electoral Laws, her "Government" got into power on a minority vote...just because that unwanted hang-up from the Colonial days (the Governer-General) invited her to try to form a Govenment AGAINST the wishes of the people.

Now lets talk about that OTHER stupid woman...the Governor -General....or maybe not, my blood pressure cant take it. You Brits should get out of our lives, we have grown past this archaic nonsense.

We certainly got something in common now.  A party without a majority taking control with a coalition with a minor party.  But as they will this is likely to have a disasterous effect on that minor party. At every local election since they have been pushed from 1st place to 3rd place.

Plus they want to get rid of our unelected House of Lords, which a large number of the leading party does not.

Like Australia the UK is due for some interesting times ahead. ;)

The first Englishman ever to win the Tour de France succeeded today.

I know just how CHUFFED you Aussies were last year as Evans was then the first Aussie  to do the same.  That's about 100 hours of the race I have watched this past three weeks. I am so pleased I bought a second laptop recently.   One for work and one for pleasure.

The British Open Golf ends tomorrow and then the Olympics.

Has there been much on TV in other parts of the World about the London Olympics.  I know British TV is full of it but I am surprised just how much has been on in China about it - many full length programmes and adverts in nearly every advert session.  Been going on for weeks.  Hong Kong is going to show about 10 hours a day on each of two channels.

Your English cyclist need to take a lesson from Lance Armstrong.  Drugs win out almost every time.   :o;D

Now to throw a cat amongst the pidgeons.......

Yes an Englishman may win the Tour De France......finally....remember an Aussie beat you to the punch.....the English started a yacht race for a 100 guinea cup and lost it......it took the Aussies to finally win it back for the Commonwealth from the US...

Just like many sports that has been invented by the United Kingdom.....cricket, golf, cycling, various codes of football, etc....the UK may invent these games, but it takes them a hell of a long time to be any good at them....

Your right there Jason.  We English take our time to work on things and then get them right.  My Dad was in China for two years in the late 1920's but it took me a long time after until I actually arrived here!

But when I did it ended up right.  Look at me waiting all those years before tying the knot!

So your correct it takes the English a long time to get things right.

Lets hope we get the forthcoming Olympics right as its costing 15 billion dollars!

 I will say that when the Aussies staged them that was a defining turning point in the production of them. You showed the World the way and following that China is probably the hardest to compete with as their opening and closing ceremonies may well be the best ever.

David you pain me and to think I stayed up last night geeing on an Australia to win the British Open. Andrew Scott was 4 Strokes up at 16 he then lost them all and let a South African overtake him.

Or do you not want to talk about Golf. ;D ;D ;D 

OK So back to Le Tour.  His father could have been American and we would still have forgiven him (possibly given time::) )after winning a 88 hours bike racing over three weeks with the highest spectator numbers for any sporting event anywhere in the World.

Willy

I do not want to talk about cricket. :'(
