Hahaha...it's the same here in Aus, Liz! I cried tears of blood when Johnny Wilkinson kicked that winning field goal at the end of the grand final of the World Series a couple of years ago...as did all of Australia. ;)
But we made up for it in the cricket Ashes Series! Hehehehehehe! It's all in good fun...in the name of sport! ;)
Indeed it is fun ... as well! Husband is English so match days make for an intereesting experience in our house. Our two sons - even though one was born in England - are Welsh rugby supporters through and through.
I'm gonna stop reading your blog if you don't stop it!
Please, pretty, pretty please
I'm sorry; I did say I'd stop. But it doesn't happen very often; we have to make the most of it!
As Lee said, Liz, we can relate to you beating the English...yeah!
Yes, I can imagine it would be rather interesting in your place on match days. Oh to be a fly on the wall...
