By Diana While Rob is Away - 03/07/00

Just in case you've been visiting another planet and haven't realised, Rob is currently away in Europe for the final of the European Soccer Cup. He has described Holland as the America's Cup Village on steroids! Apart from Paul's suitcase going on a little trip by itself it sounds like the trip over was uneventful although long.
Rob missed Rory's best soccer day ever, he scored 3 goals out of 8 scored by the team. They were playing a small club which only fields one team per grade. So the poor St Francis team were no match for our A division team.
Hannah's team won 1-0 with Hannah contributing a few good kicks here and there. Other news, Samuel Davis, the Maori minister in charge of amongst other things, the high teenage preganancy rate, has been sacked as a minister due to his personal contribution to the above while the teenager was in his care and he was 42 (and married).
Mark Todd continues to avoid confirming or denying his gay sex/cocaine allegations although the Olymipic Selection Committee is calling for him to come clean (or bent as the case may be). Apparently Bell Tea have cancelled his sponsorship, but he's had an offer from Fagg's Coffee !! (That's probably worse than Rob's jokes).

NZ lost the netball(NZ vs World7) and won the rugby (NZ vs Scotland).
Thomas and his parents are fine. No ear infections and no Charles.
Hope Koos and Heidi have survived Rob and Paul. Jono and Paul Grant, get ready, it's your turn next.

Just watched the final, France won. Nailbiting game, 1-0 to Italy until the last 90s of the game when France snuck one in, then overtime and France won 2-1!!!. What do they put in their snails over there? Anyway, have a good week everyone. Next week's message will be delayed because I will be away.

We have a new phone number because we couldn't get caller id on our last no. Now 815 7004.
As this is not from Rob, this is as long as it needs to be.
