Hello Ferals,

With the recent rise of China to the world stage (The Olympics), as well as that bloke from America that won a couple of medals in the pool, I feel that something must be done to ensure we can always compete.

The Choppings have therefore created the ultimate athlete…………Nicholas Ryan Chopping. 

Although weighing in at 7 ½ pounds this little tacker has the blood lines of a champion. Measuring in at 49cm and with the head circumference the size of a small country look out who ever is hosting the 2016 games.

Nicholas will be competing in various sports, and has already shown great ability in the….spit the dummy stakes, as well as my pants are very, very dirty, All of which show his true fighting spirits. 

The cheer squad have been doing well themselves. Mum still feels a little fragile (funny that you feel that way after abdominal surgery a spinal block and other related drugs [please don’t tell the Olympic committee as I am pretty sure she would fail the drug test]). Damian as usual……doesn’t seem to give a toss, and is far more interested in mum’s left overs and…….lols. Dad is becoming a little horse, from spruiking.

Beijing was good……..London will no doubt be forgotten, however look out 2016 (and Mr Phelps) as Nicholas will be nearing his prime at the ripe age of 8.

Please don’t reply to this email, as my typing ability is the equivalent of Damian’s (and it is far easier to call). However if you would like to sponsor any of the Chopping’s towards 2016 please by all means drop a line. Also can I say thanks to the first sponsor the Australian government who have chipped in $5K to start the ball rolling (they know a winner win they see one).

Cheers,

Ben Chopping
