The End
After big hopes and expectations, the high-flying teams of southern hemisphere's Wallabies & All Blacks both crashed out from the World Cup.
Unable to get into Walkabout in Temple & Covent Garden because we were late, we wandered to Porterhouse where there were more locals than antipodean. We were there with imported Coopers, three each in our hands, but all our shouting and cheering were drowned by the "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" of the locals as we watched Wilkinson kicked four penalties to send The Wallabies home.
I could not believe that England went through without scoring a single try. But I guess we deserve to lose, we had too many drop balls, losing ball in the ruck and conceding far too many penalties.
After a few more Magners, I was slightly intoxicated and decided to watch arch rival All Blacks match at home. It was a slight consolation to see them crashed out from the tournament too.

Agassi's record
Andre Agassi has long been one of my favourite tennis player. He is one of only 5 men to ever won all grand slam single titles, and the only one in modern era tennis player to do so. Pete Sampras, in all his greatness with 14 grand slam single titles (7 Wimbledon single titles), has never won French Open.
All those I've known for a while, but what really amaze me is that this year's US Open is his 20th consecutive US Open! Wow .. his first US Open was back in 1986.
