Wed 11 Nov 2002Media Puzzle solves my identity crisisWOMEN'S HOCKEY/World CupDAY ONE: Flights leave from Singapore for every city in Australia approximately every four and a half seconds. Board plane, hoping it's the right one for Perth, but not entirely certain and too zombied to ask. Arrive. "Welcome to Sydney," says the immigration man. Silence only disturbed by sound of heart-beat reaching near-death levels. "Oh. My. G. . .". "Aw gee, I love doing that to visitors," grins the Perth resident.Clench right fist to deck immigration man, but might hamper chances of entry to his country so exhale enough breath to whip up a tornado and say, "Ho, ho." "Ireland," he says, looking at passport. "We'll take the Melbourne Cup back from you next year," he winks. Pretend to know Dermot Weld and to be a second cousin, twice removed, of Media Puzzle (show him ears to prove claim). Impressed, he ignores glaring discrepancy in visa form ("business" ticked, rather than "holiday") and says, "Enjoy your stay."
