WHAT HAPPENED?

I leave the world to look after itself for 3 days and look what happens!

First England Rugby captain Lawrence Dallaglio unexpectedly resigns - he's not the force he was and I think he decided to get out while the going is good and before he becomes remembered solely as captain of an England team that got thumped by everyone, as I fear this autumns internationals and next years Six Nations will confirm

Then there are rumours the Sir Clive Woodward, currently coach of the England Rugby team is trying to quit but the RFU won't let him (I think he has the same thoughts as Dallaglio - he wants to be remembered as the man who coached England to the World Cup and not associated with what is about to happen).

Then England's cricket team win a one-day international (fortunately not an important game - no doubt as soon as the ICC Champions Trophy starts they will revert to their normal shocking one-day form).

Then Arnie gets up at the Republican convention and accuses the Democrats of being "economic girlie men" - what a great line!

And finally a new blog is launched - welcome Shandyman

Honestly - can't you lot be left alone for even a minute?
