I have to say this came as a bit of a surprise.

Doesn't surprise me, he hasn't enjoyed it at all for the last few years.

In other news Kim Beazley said he wanted to wish Graham Thorpe all the best after his cricketing career. He later retracted his statement saying that he'd mixed up their names and passed on his best wishes to Billy Thorpe saying that "the Aztecs just weren't the same without him."

I don't remember ever seeing him in a speedo. He always wore those body suit things.

Maybe if you asked him nicely he'd come to Maryland. It's not like he's busy or anything :p

I'm happy to be proven wrong in this case. :D
