Top sport.. Man City completed the treble.. the ‘triple crown’ and probably not quiet as difficult to win as the horse flat racing one.. who was the last horse to do so?.. Nijinsk of course.. There is of course a triple crown in the USA and their last winner was Justify.

Talking brilliant winners. Novak Djokovic won yesterday French Open and set a new record.. he has now won 23 grand slams.. one more than Rafael Nadal.. Remarkable if not controversial player..

The Aussies are taking over this week.

Guy Rooker sent this one over in honour of the great Australian sense of humour.

Three Aussie blokes working up on an outback mobile phone tower:

Mongrel, Coot and Bluey.

As they start their descent, Coot slips, falls off the tower and is killed instantly.

As the ambulance takes the body away, Bluey says, 'Well, bugger me, someone's gotta go and tell Coot's wife.

Mongrel says, 'OK, I'm pretty good at that sensitive stuff, I'll do it.'

Two hours later, he comes back carrying a case of Beer. Bluey says, 'Where'd you get the grog, Mongrel?'

'Coot's wife gave it to me,' Mongrel replies.

'That's unbelievable, you told the Missus her husband was dead, and she gave you a case of beer?'

'Well, not exactly', Mongrel says. 'When she answered the door, I said to her, "you must be Coot's widow."

She said, 'You must be mistaken.. I'm not a widow.'

Then I said, 'I'll betcha a case of beer you are..'

Aussies are good at that sensitive stuff.
