Sports fan or braggart? Or both?

from the BBC - not mine

A while ago, I felt the need to proclaim Australia's dominance in the world sporting arena.

Unfortunately, this morning I have to bite my damn tongue because the poms beat us yesterday in the Rugby World Cup. Mind you, it was one man on the English side who scored 15 of their 20 points, to beat us by 3 during extra time. It must have been a great game. After all, a World Cup final should never be a cakewalk.

I have to watch myself over here - there are lots of poms in Vankie.
