Come on Italy.

Always my bet to win it and I haven't given up on them , although they look a bit old just now.

If there is anyone out there who has stumbled upon this by mistake I urge you to read My Dark Friend. This a book of blogs by a lad who died of cancer just after last Christmas, and spent the last months of his life writing about his ordeal, and some stuff from before he was diagnosed. It is a wonderful, spontaneous, insight into a courageous mans struggle. It's only fifteen quid, a huge book really and you will feel better for having read it. You can get it here.

I only hope that when I am put to the test in anything like the way that Hazey was, I can remember some of the inspiration I have received from reading his blogs at the time and now his book.

I might buy another copy with my winnings when Italy lift the cup!
