How to get Switzerland to the World Cup and also watch Out of the Ashes

I've not had much time to blog of late.  However, on the bus home from work the other day, I did have time to come up with a plan to get Switzerland to the 2015 World Cup.  This plan won me a copy of Out of the Ashes on DVD, courtesy of King Cricket.  Thanks King.

I've blogged about Out of the Ashes plenty already, but it really is a very good film.  A friend pointed out to me that it's available to UK web-users on BBC iPlayer until the end of the month.  What are you waiting for?  Go watch it now.

Liz Hurley? Oh behave, Shane!

I was entertained by what Alex Bowden, aka King Cricket, had to say on Sunday about the rumours surrounding Shane Warne and Liz Hurley. (Hover your mouse over the picture on his post to read a rather dubious caption). It appears the Times then decided that there was sufficient evidence for and interest in the story to jump into the gutter and basically reprint the contents of the original News of the World article. As both of the aforementioned Murdoch publications are tucked away behind paywalls, you have to turn to a third if you want to get at the full story for free online.

As one punter who commented on the Times' article put it:

"No! Please! Don't do this to me! Brain overheating...synapses melting...too...many...jokes..."
