I dispute with my friends

Managed (with a little help from an old friend) to get tickets to the Wales vs New Zealand Rugby World Cup game in Sydney in November.

Must remember the guys from Iowa(?) we met in the Beach for a game of pool. The walk through the lorry park and the scaling of the 10 foot wall at the other end. The 'let me work my magic', 'How do you get to the place which is just opposite here?'

For how much longer will you be able to call this country a secular state? Drove down to the baseball game on Saturday behind a plumber's van - company was called something lame like 'Plumb King'. Tag line on the van was 'Serving San Diego and Jesus Christ'.

'Sorry Jesus, I don't understand. I've checked the mains and the water supply there is fine, I can't explain why you are getting wine coming out of your shower head'

At the baseball game, after standard flag waving and military pageantry we were asked to stand and remove our hats for the national anthem (sung by Reverend so and so accompanied on the podium by an exaggerated sign-language translation).
