Still waiting for the last test for my goitre - another 3 weeks until that - just before I go to Turkey. Thanks for your best wishes for that. But now we have the paralympics which opened last night. Lots of more excitement - and I'm not even into sport - but this is good. The Olympics have also opened an interesting debate here about how much our soccer players are paid. On average they earn $200,000 a week [[yes, a WEEK). In return we get to see them play, they do as they please, behave like prima donnas and are largely above the law because our politicians fawn all over them. By contrast most Olympic athletes are lucky to earn $200,000 a year and behave in a sportsman like fashion and rarely get drunk and smash up cars [[unlike soccer players). Why are we paying soccer players so much money for being such massive morons? Good question and it's one people here are at last beginning to ask.
