  • My favourite comedy duo

    Gentlemen I’ve followed your antics for years as I ‘bludged’ on my way to training for (and winning) Aussie Gold in aerobics, through marathon training, travelling home from underwater hockey training, hours of surf boat training and learning rugby. I _love_ that these days women get at least an occasional mention. In the beginning I found myself shouting at the radio a bit as you lamented poor performances by Aussie men, but women weren’t mentioned. Glad times are changing
