Blondes Have More Fun?

Shower Watch...88-10...Yes...out of 88 showering possibilities only 12 0f have showered...Me everytime (7 Matches) and Big AL in the 3 he played with me the other showerer was of course another Pom. To test the theory I have left a piece of soap in the home ground showers...it remains unshrunken after 8 weeks...!!!

The Sparkling soap

Any how, what a week.We lost the Ashes at Perth...I was there with my lad James and it was hot (52 degrees C...126 Farenheight) and horrible...god how the Aussies love to rub it in...not like us sporting Brits...........
Now herein lies a problem as regular readers will have noticed I have taken the P**s bigtime out of the Aussies (bless em...not the brightest bunch) taking on silly bets along the way.....one of which was dyeing my hair Shane Warne blonde if we lost.....I will publish the results shortly...

I am half way through my latest Match we bowled the opposition out for 180 ish (Gill 3-25) and next week need to chase the total to win...NO WORRIES MATE.



We attended on day four and sat on the famous mound the temperature in the ground hit 52 degrees. Rather like being sat inside your average oven. However when English wickets fell it felt like a pressure cooker. On the plus side James got lots of autographs and we both met lots of shell shocked poms who proceded to joke sing and generally prove that Brits really don't take themselves..(or their Cricket team) too seriously.


Any way the Aussie lifestyle is generally healthy and as you can see my fitness regime has paid off...



Australians do however love to socialise and drink and the effects of Alcohol on families and Children should not be taken lightly...



Christmas promises to be both strange... (40 degrees and down the beach) ....and lonely without family and friends. So all of you enjoy your loved ones and have a little drink and think of the Gills out here...in their pool or Jacuzzi, faced with a Christmas sunbathing session that would be swapped for a drizzly December day in your company...


Love The Gills

LEG BEFORE WICKED

Hello all. I couldn't resist this.

In events recalling Dennis Lillee’s notorious aluminium cricket bat, the Ashes series opened with the Australian team complaining about the new high-tech bat being used by the English tourists.
‘It’s cheating!’ said Australian captain, Ricky Ponting. ‘It completely takes all the legside fielders from the game. There’s no need for a leg slip, a leg gully, square leg, not even a third leg…’
Clearly distraught, Australia’s Justin Langer lamented the effect the new bat would have on the batsman’s game. ‘There’ll be no leg glances, no leg drives, and none of those lovely chances to tickle the ball off the legs.’
Meanwhile, the English team have insisted that the new bat doesn’t contravene the laws of the game. ‘We love it, yeah, yeah, yeah,’ said an unrepentant Andrew Flintoff.
'They don't have a leg to stand on" commented Duncan Fletcher....
