Tommy, where are we going this evening? Tommy? Tommy? Wait a minute...

[bendirs @bendirs]

I think I've been depressed before, but I can't think when...

[bendirs @bendirs]

This trip is over. Make mine a roast or I think I’ll start crying!

[bendirs @bendirs]

Victor Matfield was truly magnificent at the line-out, stealing ball all the way.

Sweet Chariot is ditched as the official England song - I'm hearing strains of Kenny Rogers' The Gambler

[bendirs @bendirs]

A man in an England shirt just rifled a drop kick at an enormous passing South African!

[bendirs @bendirs]

Still haven't seen any Engand shirts. Big place, Paris...

[bendirs @bendirs]

Baking hot. Is it acceptable to bowl around Paris with your top off like people do in Romford?

[bendirs @bendirs]

Anyone got a spare ticket for the final? Just thought I'd ask

[bendirs @bendirs]

Just found out I have got a ticket for the final. That's made things awkward.

[bendirs @bendirs]

Dunno what it's like back in Blighty, but it's pretty much August over here in Paris today. Sorry...

[bendirs @bendirs]

My, my, there are some angry people on the blog today. Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

[bendirs @bendirs]

South Africa look pretty beatable from where I'm standing, and I'm pretty close to the pitch

[bendirs @bendirs]

You lovely, lovely boys! We're off to the World Cup final!

[bendirs @bendirs]

Got to be honest with you, the invasion hasn't really started yet...I'll keep you posted...

[bendirs @bendirs]

Sacking you Bois de Boulogne, hiring you mate's hotel room floor

[bendirs @bendirs]

Hello again, hello...camped on outskirts of Paris planning our final assault. It's gonna be another biggy...

[bendirs @bendirs]

Excuse the radio silence - no phone any more remember...

[bendirs @bendirs]

Pepper - better on steak frites than on your face!

England v France semi in Paris - touch
