Tonga World Cup team were at Leigh CE Junior school today mixing with all the kids, signing autographs etc.

My lad couldn't believe the size of the muscles on the players.

I told him I muscles like theirs under my baggy shirt

, he wasn't having any of it.

One thing is for sure, Tonga need to win next Tuesday to have any hope of winning the group.

Charlie is very happy the Scots won ,as mi owd Dad John Hamish McDougall Caroli , was part Scot and served in with the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders , he was very proud of his Scottish roots ,a Scotland v Italy WC Final would be nice , it would have to be played on Fantasy Island though ,"A Plane ,a Plane ".



Good night for Charlie at last nights Poker also I split the 1st prize pot

wonders never cease.Francis Blackburn didn't attend apparently , he had a Wine tasting event to go to

out of brown paper bags in Salford

Very dissapointed with the Tongans last night - after the aggression and athleticism of the Fijians and the Samoans on the previous 2 evenings I thought we would be in for more of the same - unfortunately they looked like the pussycats of the south seas!! (Although I'm sure a few jocks will be testifying differently this mornning!!)

The good thing is that the Tongans have something to prove on Nov 5th!
