Though I agree that it is cleaner than in the past, we shouldn't overstate things. Just today there are reports of a drug bust in Italy involving twelve professional cyclists.

They're fab, thank you, and am glad that Chanelle has found time to watch the Ashes Tests. Shame about Colly today though but what an innings from monsieur le capitaine. It seems that as fast as Straussy loses his hair, the better his form with the bat.<br /><br />Roll on tomorrow and another chance for Cav to consolidate in Green.miminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912136666601692339.post-66159817446547422392009-07-16T22:46:19.077+01:002009-07-16T22:46:19.077+01:00I meant 'meant'.
