As you may imagine, that news has gone down like a lead balloon over
here.
I've heard that Saudi Arabia has awarded a public holiday because of
that result: meanwhile in Buenos Aires, the Plaza de Mayo is
supposedly full of angry protestors. Okay, so the Plaza de Mayo is
always full of angry protestors but - protesting over the soccer
score????????
Highjacking this thread is probably the best opportunity I am likely
to get to let you know that I'll be maintaining radio silence on umra
for the next ten days or so. We are leaving tomorrow to go on a trip
to Cordoba, city and province, but whilst I expect that I will
probably be able to read umra while we are away, I won't be taking
anything capable of writing to usenet and I don't expect to be able to
be in touch again until after we get back.
