I dislike [tag]Australia[/tag]ns almost as much as New Zealanders and Cork people… (only in sporting terms, of course – outside of sport, Aussies and Kiwis are really nice people). [tag]Shane Warne[/tag] is different. Always a “colourful” character, in his sporting career he has been fined for accepting money from bookies, missed a [tag]Cricket World Cup[/tag] [...]
