OLD 55 Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Thanks Mate. I just really copied your rap from the previous week, changed the song names and added a few comments. We're glad you're back CeeJay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Laurie, your football season is beginning and ours is almost at an end. We have 4 different 'Codes' in Australia - Rugby Union and Soccer, our 2 least followed. Nobody can understand the rules. Australian Rules, played mainly in Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania. Followed by a bunch of fanatics. And the real one, Rugby League, followed by the fun loving bronzed athletes (like myself) in Queensland, Northern Territory, ... and New South Wales, who think they own the game. Ask Katie. Oh - and Victoria bought a Team off Queensland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
