It is 7:27pm. It is Game 1 of the State of Origin series. Therefore, my home phone is off the hook, my mobile phone calls are all diverted and I won't be answering email. Deal with it.
GO QUEENSLAND!
HALF TIME EDIT....
13: NIL lead to QUEENSLAND! GO BOYS!
REMAINING EDITS IN THE EXTENDED ENTRY TO PROTECT THE VICTORIANS!
2ND EDIT....
19:4 score line. NSW actually scored, but they missed the conversion.
And in other news, the advertisers behind VB are some of the funniest blokes in creativity. To summarise.... "We'll put anything on the BBQ. Beef. Chicken. Even Kangaroo. [[STING!]] Yep. The world's ONLY legal national emblem on the BBQ. That alright Skip?"
FINAL EDIT...
WHAT A GAME!!! NSW ended up making a fine comeback, at one stage hitting the lead. A tie at the final siren, the game went in to extra time and after four agonising minutes, Queensland brought it home with a try to young Matty Bowen!
Final score 24:20 :-) Ah I love a good game!
Can you please stop the score updates? Victoria isn't screening the match until 10:30 and I'd like to watch it...
WOOPS! Sorry Stephen!! Hoping you have had the good sense not to look at my blog again!
Victorians watch rugby league??!?!
Dem.
You are not becoming a little strange since going to live in Queensland - are you?
I recall the days when you would raise a book to cover your eyes in case any frightful sport should endeavour to penetrate your vision.
