Greetings from New Zealand where the locals are all going mad for the America's Cup sailing.
Because of the time difference races are on at 1-30 in the morning and many of them are still getting up to watch the sporting equivalent of paint drying (even duller than golf as a televised event). The papers are full of it and it's all over the TV and radio news - however overnight they went 4-2 down and if they lose tonight it's all over.
I keep getting asked if there's any fuss about it at home and I've been saying I very much doubt it - am I right?
