Don't you think that less people would run away from Sierra Leone if it changed it's name to Sergio Leone?

Very clever. You do realise that Taylor is from Liberia?
PS: What sort of dumb name is Taylor?
Posted by: Paul | 31 March 2006 at 15:27
Taylor is an appauling name.

Off Topic and addressed to commentator a while back who thought it was ridiculous to mention Ponting in the same breath as Tendulkar and Lara:
Punter the best since Bradman.
RICKY Ponting was yesterday branded Australia's best batsman after Bradman - by the only man in the world with a better batting average in the past 36 years.
South Africa legend Graeme Pollock hailed Ponting as a modern-day great and predicted he could finish his Test career with an undisputed rating as the second-finest batsman of all time.
Ponting is the talk of international cricket after producing seven centuries in his past eight Tests - five against a South Africa side that can only marvel at his apocalyptic batting.
The Australia skipper's stunning average of 58.14 is better than any current player with 20 or more Test caps.

Taylor made for puns though.

Punter's phenomenal at the moment, he's certainly gone past Sachin and Lara. Nevertheless, none of his recent years are as good as Viv Richards' 1976.

Don 't think so.

Inclined to agree, Mike. But you've gotta ask the big questons.

It all depends where you are looking from. Antonios Mokbel ran away from Melbourne.
"So how's Naomi?" Mokbel asks in a taped conversation. "She is all right, she's made -- yeah," replies supergrass.
Naomi Robson branded the allegations "a pack of lies".
"Anyone who knows me would know that I am extremely anti-drugs."
ah that explains the look these days. Must be the old anorexia then or just prescription medication - that's different.

She calls him Tone.
Extremely anti-drugs? I am extremely anti-badverb.

Will Sergio Leone contain cities featuring extreme dubbing, close ups and slow-mo?

Australia - I'M FINE
(Ricky Punter Ponting)
I was born in Launceston town
Where there was not too much going on down
For boys whose only hope
Was not to find a girl who would root on the first night
So early I held my first Kookaburra
And I knew I wanted to be a big star
And I told my poor worried father
Said I ain't gonna go to school no more
Cuz see I wanna look cool and I wanna look good
With my hair slicked back and my white cricket boots
Wanna stand up tall with my bat upright
And feel real hot when the bowling's nice
I get sexy underneath them lights
Like I wanna clock every ball in sight
Australia come home with me tonight
Make you feel good make you feel all right
I'm going away to London
I got myself a big fat plan
Gonna hold the Ashes with my own hand
And I'm gonna change everything I can
Sorry to be disappointing
Wasn't born for no dawdling
Wanna make my own living batting
Strong independent Taswegian man swinging
And I feel real cool and I feel real good
Got my eye smacked out and a scar upom my cheek
Yet I stand up tall with my pride upright
And I feel real hot when the bowling's nice
I get sexy underneath them lights
Like I wanna clock every ball in sight
Australia come home with me tonight
Make you feel good make you feel all right
I'm glad I came here to London
Even though I lost, I showed the world who I am
Went away a losing man
I since got the most angelic tons
And now I'm biding my time to smash those poms
And I do what I like for fun
And I'm happy in my prime
Australia I'm fine I'm fine Australia I'm fine
Australia I'm fine I'm fine Australia I love you

yeah but you're pro tone

"Inclined to agree, Mike. But you've gotta ask the big questons."
Sorry, I was actually just making a pun but when I posted it cut all the extra spaces out, thus,
don....t think so, don, see, oh well, it seemed good at the time, I'll go now.

National anthem by Ennio Morricone.
In fact Ennio should be commissioned to re-do all national anthems. Starting with Girt By Sea.

Russ: That's all the more reason to go there.
Pat: Bravo! (Keeping the spaghetti theme.) Now all you need is for Stock Aitken Waterman to put a tune to it.
FX: This town ain't big enough for the both of us, two Tones, that is. That might, or might not, be a hint as to where the other Tone is.
Mike: A ... pology a ... ccepted.
Rich: The tune played when Tuco was running around the cemetary looking for the gold is called L'Estasi Dell'Oro. Last year when Channel Seven had the Olympics, they played it as a backtrack when they showed the Aussie medal tally. Oro! Oro! Oro! Straya!

I am a patriotic Australian, I keep my girt by the sea. Where do you keep yours?
Posted by: Scott Wickstein | 01 April 2006 at 12:01
By the back door of my holiday house. In a crumpled, soggy, sandy heap with the towels.
Posted by: Tony.T | 01 April 2006 at 12:05
Yeah, thats the spirit! True Blue! Almost Dinky Di, although thats a bit gross considering she snuffed it nearly ten years ago now.
Posted by: Scott Wickstein | 02 April 2006 at 13:13
Dinky Di, or Dorky Dees? Carlton, for God's sake!

An old joke doing the rounds in Adelaide many moons ago....
Q : What's hit more balls than Bradman's bat?
A : Von Einem's chin!
I think it's time to change the punchline to JL's head (fitting, as JL first became a target in Adelaide).
Posted by: nick | 02 April 2006 at 19:58
Season's over for The Dees. I was home just after 3/4 time. Dismal. Dismal. Dismal. Bottom four, for sure. And that's not a mozz, merely a state of where the Dees are at. Slow, one-dimensional and worst of all - soft.
Time for Daniher to quit or be sacked. Hopefully he will do the right thing and fall on his sword.
