England humiliate Australia?

Wait...,

I remember when I was a little kid England won summink and my mum got all
excited and my dad and older brothers were disappointed. But that was about 55
years ago.

Bull. As if...

I'm trying to locate an "all format" DVD copy of this year's Rugby League Grand
Final. Champagne stuff.

So, if you and anyone else has a DVD player and are interested, I'll send it to

You be the judge.
