Good luck Steelers!



Starting today there will be a weekend of rugby in Dublin, when the Kings Cross Steelers, a London-based mainly gay rugby football club (of which I am a supporting member) join gay rugby teams from around the world to take part in the fourth Bingham Cup rugby tournament, a tournament named after Mark Kendall Bingham, one of the passengers killed aboard 'Flight 93' on 11th Setember 2001.

I will be following the Steelers' progress as best I can during the next three days, but meantime wish them good luck! And an enjoyable weekend for all the teams and spectators!

Raw 'whatever' ...

... and it's 'Haka' to you:

(thru Andrew Sullivan)

To learn more about this traditional Maori 'greeting', click here, then on the 'Launch the Haka Feature' link where you can learn how to do the Haka and see it performed with a translation into English of the Maori.
