Had a bad dream last night... I was sitting on the grand stand watching a rugby world cup game. It was England vs an unknown team. Of course it was a full house, and there were lots of England supporters. Lots of them carried a big card with them. You know, it's the sort of big card in a netball match used by fans to show their enthusiasm. Usually they are printed with supportive slogans or catchy words etc. so when a player scores, the fans raise it up to show "Choice" or "Score" or "Touchdown" (in NFL) or whatever. In my dream, England somehow got to the opponent's 22-yard line, well, just outside the 22-yard line it was. Fans were excited...and WOW! Jonny Wilkinson shot a drop-goal and he scroed!! England fans erupted into joy and they raised the big cards up which all printed "Drop-goal" on them. England fans had expected drop-goals from Jonny and he did it!! On the other hand, fans of the opponent team, quietly sat with their head dropped, put their big card down. Ironically their cards were printed a big word which said "Try". More drop-goals from Jonny Wilkinson in that match sealed the victory for England. World champion she became. England fans looked at the fans of the opponent team, jeering at them, and questioning why they had brought along with the "Try" card that proved to be a waste of time and useless. And England supporters started to give away the "Drop-goal" cards to non-England supporters, pursuading them this would be the future of the game. At the end everyone was very happy, or so it seemed. And the gospel of "Drop-goal" would be spread to every corner of the world. ...and then I was waken, with my heart pounding heavily and sweat on my forehead, thinking that "It can't be true, or can it?" What a nightmare!! And fortunately, it was just a dream.
