C'MON THE LELOS

The Lelos is apparently, the nickname of the Georgian rugby team.

If you want to watch the England-Georgia Rugby World Cup match with the London-based Georgian community, get over to The Kensington Pub opposite the Georgian Embassy near Olympia.

Here's a pic from my visit to Tbilisi, capital of Georgia, in Feburary 2002.

Ambassador Mamatsashvili and I are like 'this'

Sorry, a lot of the links to Georgian web sites that you'll find on other sites I've linked to don't work. The country is in a mess and I guess it's spilled over to their corner of the internet. I met a Brit who lived there for a year. He said that during the winter, they got one hour of electricity per day. And, just after I left Tbilisi, the Russians cut off the gas supply.
