on the engrossing theme
"Ashes angst puts the zest back in Pommy-bashing
(Filed: 10/09/2005)

This followed an earlier and doubly topical report at:-

For the benefit of any furreners who do not understand the rules of this wonderful game I will repeat here that I have a concise=brief summary on my site at:-
