    Hi SW,

    Really liked the comment about the Germans!

    However, I think what Swanfan meant was those South African things - they are called something funny, can't remember what - that spectators are using to make a racket during the games. Apparently they make more noise than a jumbo jet - th papers are full of pictures and details of them!

    Unless, of course, he DID mean the Germans .....

    The horns that the crowds are blowing, that racket. If you take a quick look at ITV1 you will know what i mean.:)

    My street consists entirely of retired folk. We wont have any of that nonsense round here thank goodness. I am the youngest person on the whole street! Wonder if they will bring them to class? Mine are far too well behaved luckily.
