It's going to be more like an England v Germany match where an opposition player has broken an English leg in the tunnel before the game has even started! I wouldn't like to referee this one Mr Sarkozy.:rotfl:
A nice variation on Major's "had our bats broken before we go the crease"!0 -
I meant to add that I prefer the "Monday's child is fair of face..." as it makes me "loving and giving" (have you noticed?I'm a Scorpio and I am supposed to die by fire or water (if you believe in that sort of thing) Well they do call Iceland 'the land of fire and ice'.....
) although my wife would be gay!
What's yours and does it match?Mondays child is fair of face,
Tuesdays child is full of grace,
Wednesdays child is full of woe,
Thursdays child has far to go,
Fridays child is loving and giving,
Saturdays child works hard for his living,
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay :eek: .0 -

Yes, I would guess none of us hangers-on born on a Saturday 
Although there may be some truth:-
blithe (bl
, bl
th)
adj. blith·er, blith·est
1. Carefree and lighthearted.
2. Lacking or showing a lack of due concern; casual: spoke with blithe ignorance of the true situation.0 -
...not recently, though the Saxons were shipped over quite effectively!0
