Update

Sorry everyone, I apologise for the distinct lack of reports over the past 10 days. I have not had access to the web or a pc.

Nevertheless, I endeavour to be back on board by the weekend at the latest.

And boy isnt there a heap to catch up on...

Ashes Test 1 and 2 - Double heartbreak for the Aussies.
Le Tour - Bye bye Cadel, Hello Astana - the Kazak super team and the most famous thing to come out of the country since Borat.
Athletics - Bolt unleashes the fury on a wet track in Paris to sizzle to 9.79 (into a headwind no less)
AFL - The Hawks are coming back, the swans are nosediving, the bombers are gathering speed, the dockers are still woeful, the Cats are back on the tin rough running hot and the saints....well can anyone beat them?
Union - Round 1 of Bledisloe goes to the All Blacks meaning that the Wallabies have to win all three remaining matches. Now on the Springboks and the politically incorrect quote making machine De Villiers
League - Origin punch up evokes memories of an old WWF all in brawl
Soccer - Summer madness....no such thing as a bargain with prices of average players now costing more than a squadron of F1-11 fighter jets.
Plus Tennis, Hockey, Baseball, Motor Racing, and much much more (but definitely no curling).

Till the weekend...
