Size isnt everything - 3 july
Size isnt everything. And dont let anyone tell you otherwise. But when measuring column inches, it is worth comparing what gets what coverage. I am talking sport here. And i am not going to whinge and say the papers are full of baseball, baseball, baseball, hockey (Canada announced its pre Olympic training camp ice hockey team this week) and hockey. Oh and tennis. Wimbledon was on or something. This is acceptable. This is Canada after all.
So anyway, i dont really expect to hear about either the rugby or the cricket. Except that, in my Toronto Star this sunday morning, delivered to my room door as ever, i was able to read about both. I got to read about 11 inches on how Scotland defeated Canada by 7 wickets in the ICC trophy in Belfast.. just saving 2 inches to tell me that England and Australia TIED in the Natwest final. Oh come on people please. This (Australia admittedly) is the best team on the planet, with some of the best players (McGrath, Gilchrist for certain) ever to have played the game.
Still it could have been worse. A page later i was reading how Canada beat Argentina for the 1st time in 15 years at rugby.... and the lions didnt get a mention in their match against the all blacks! Thank goodness for the internet. I dont know how i will survive without it!

Hello!
I was hoping to tell you who had won the olympic bid. It is now down to London and Paris and we are told that the winner has been chosen and that it is going to be anounced "any minute", but they've been saying that for an hour.
This is an utterly, utterly fabulous blog. I am going to enjoy your stay in Toronto as much as you.
Enjoy. ENJOY.
Oh, and link to Small Town Scribbles when you figure out the HTLM (?) stuff.

Ha de ha de ha!!!!
London won the bid!
I didn't think I wanted us to win until I saw the looks on the faces of those in France! Ha de ha de ha!!!!!
Me again!

Now you will see a page of html. Scroll down almost to the bottom and you will see something (but not exactly like)that looks like:
//googlenews.com/">Google News
//Edit-Me/">Edit-Me
//Edit-Me/">Edit-Me
(except that it will be three lines of text. It's all squished up in this comment box)
You need to change it to:
//smalltownscribble.blogspot.com/">Small Town Scribbles
After that you are hot to trot and will be able to build up a lovely roll of Links that will tell more about you than your own profile.
Thanks!
Now get on with some bloody work!
Just heard.
There have been many bomb blasts in London
The fucking bastards.
