One down - five to win.

CONGRATULATIONS to Grant and the boys (and girls!!).
Italy defeated much easier than I thought possible. Now onto the real race against the "Swiss".

Kipp's Slideshow

Problems, problems, problems all day long

Have had some problems with the previous post not appearing. The problem is that in typical computer style the problem is inconsistent - appearing sometimes and not at others. According to Google it could be because a hyperlink is in the blog and putting a question mark at the end of the URL may overcome the problem. I didn't try that but another suggestion was to clear the Cache, which I have now done. Anyway it now seems to heve fixed itself - I hope.

Reminds me of the Everly Brothers song Problems, problems, problems all day long, the Everly Brothers being one of my favourites. The good news is that a song I heard on the Coast radio station one day - Lucille Starr singing The French Song (1964) - I have obtained a copy. How is another story.

The slide and Rugby show

Up early as you can see from the slide show time. Damn dog. We have been trying to put him outside at night to get him used to it for when we are away and he will be at "Kipps Place". Not really working and he will probably have to go into kennels.

However created the Slide Show as below which seems to have worked.

Nine of us watching the Rugby (including Kipp) but a typical AB's first up game - fairly disjointed and I think the French have some complaint about the Ref - but still not in the hunt. Oz much better than the previous week and Wales OK in the first half and Africa also held until half-time against England C - or is it D.

Rhett Womble

Rhett got hold of a cone and started to look like a Womble.
