<br><br>A former Aussie soccer captain's book title says it all - Sheilas, Wogs and Poofters  (those who play soccer). You were right, Mungo   ;D

Hey mungo,<br><br>does the score 19-18 mean anything to you?<br><br>Never trust a frog, eh?

Not a bad result against our reserves for them frogs!!

Yeah, I guess. I bet Clive was thrilled to bits.    ;D

So.....Uncle, It seems that th I.R.B are going to allow you to sing ''Waltzing Matilda'' in the upcoming World Cup.!<br>Maybe you could give us your take on what this tune is all about?<br>  I've heard a few and am curious is all.

_________________

yeah, the 57 old farts have done the dirty. Now that we're allowed to sing, we probably won't bother. But if they told us we can't then we'll scream our bloody lungs out.<br><br>I think we'll need more than an alternative national anthem to help us. I'm tipping England v. NZ for the final and the bloody kiwis to win it. Please God, anyone but England. I couldn't stand Clive's smugness and bagging of the opposition, if they won. He really is a bad winner.<br><br>btw Waltzing Matilda is basically the story of a bloke who steals a sheep while he's camped beside a creek. The cops come and bust him, but he runs away and kills himself. If you camp by that creek, his ghost will come and sing to you.<br><br>Pathetic, isn't it? Still, thats what we like singin' about and the tune is a snappy little number.

It was suggested that there be a number of interpretations of said tune <br><br>   1;  it was th jig you threw at th end of a rope<br>   2;when a swaggy went walkabout, it was his swag ,that became Matilda<br>   3;or ,and the most probable ,when you drag a sheep out to shear,you ''waltz '' it ,..hence the sayin'<br>Waltzin' Matilda<br><br>     Of course this is only true to a bygone age....

Point 2 is considered the general explanation - Matilda being a name given to the swag. Waltzing matilda meant hitting the road (the swag being one's belongings wrapped in cloth and slung over the shoulder).<br>

YAWN - ENGLAND 45-FRANCE 14 - A MERE STROLL IN THE PARK - another park, another sunday. and its sunday tomorrow - i digress.<br>i remember the days when a 20 point win over any of the ( then ) big 7 was regarded as a severe humiliation.<br><br>i note england now have those all black slick no-grip shirts. not nice i think - gimme cantebury anyday. <br><br>mungo
