Please God...

... if I promise to never swear again, can you help Cadel Evans win?

Please? Pretty please with sugar on top?

He seems like such a nice boy. And he came so close last year... and it would be so frustrating to have yet another drug cheat take it out.

Go on, God. Let the good guy win for once, okay?*

(* Surprisingly, a good guy has already won in another area - Dr Armellin - who delivered my daughter with the delighted cry, 'IT'S A GIRL!', and who is the obstetrician that all expectant mothers should have - has won the case brought against him by the couple who were apparently devastated because they had IVF twins, instead of just one child. Might I add these are Canberran 'professionals', who can afford to raise twins. They just didn't want to. Poor pets. I shudder to think what would have happened if the twins had been boys!)
