Aussie, Aussie, Aussie


Incredible comeback in the World Cup match against Japan tonight. 3 goals in the last 10 minutes to come from behind and win 3-1.

Tim Cahill was the hero for Australia. The referee was the villain, giving the Japanese a fairly dubious goal in the first half. Was just getting ready for all the “we was robbed” headlines and rantings on TV and radio – fortunately that fantastic finish fixes that.

No, I didn’t score a gong.

What an anachronism they are!  The ones that really get up my nose are those given to senior public servants, business people, sportspeople, TV people and the like.  They’re getting them for doing their job … why do they deserve the extra recognition of an Order of Australia or whatever?  If we do have to have awards like this, it should be the ordinary people who dominate them, for community work, not high profile people who are more than adequately rewarded for their efforts in other ways.
