It won't stand up in court

In the last few days Damien (one of the tennis group) has told some funny stories, like the time he called into work sick, and asked his boss's secretary to say that he wouldn't be in to work that day because he was suffering from priapism. A little perplexed, she repeated this message to his boss.

The boys (Damien, Floyd, John and Richard) leave today, but this time from Nîmes, the airport that they should have arrived at three days ago. They were an amiable, intelligent, fun loving group who play tennis to a high standard and it was a pleasure to hit with them. Thank you guys.

The cricket is proving to be exciting yet again. One minute Australia were building a solid score and were looking good for the chance of a win when, inexplicably, they collapse to an English onslaught and England are back in the driving seat. I'm not sure that you can call a draw 'in the driving seat', but it's exciting nonetheless.
