The first team to be leaving the World Cup has been decided, and it's Australia. Mind you, they did leave us with a strong contender for goal of the tournament with a spectacular volley from Tim Cahill.
And then here comes the real shocker - their departure was closely followed by Spain's exit, and they went out with something of a whimper. We might have expected a strong response after their shock 5-1 defeat to Holland, but it just didn't come, and they really did look second best against Chile in their 2-0 defeat.
Let's hope that we can bounce back from an initial defeat rather better tomorrow ...
In other news of departures, I'm sat here watching Paxo's final Newsnight after 25 years, waiting to see whether he has some fun on his way out.
And on the property front, Medway Council have today demonstrated themselves to be complete plonkers, but I'm sure that they will be put back in their box pretty soon.
Site meeting tomorrow, and given that they aren't going to be around for much longer, here's a few Cypress pictures.
