It has been announced today that Australian Cricketing legend Shane Warne will be meeting with the Victorian government next month to discuss ways to mend the relationship between Australia and India after several attacks on Indian students in the Australian state of Victoria in recent times. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/shane-warne-to-ease-unrest/story-e6frf7jo-1225823096194
The Victorian government are hoping that Shane Warne's popularity in the cricket loving India will be able to rebuild the relationship that has been strained in the last few months. The Australian government have already sent officials over to India to try and ease the tensions, but there have been more attacks since then and I guess they are hoping the shared love of cricket will help the matter.
What do you think?
Can Warney bowl over the Indians with his charm? 
Or will he and the Aussie government be hit for six?

Shane Warne can win over ANYBODY with his charm, my friend. If he can't do it, no-one can. He reminds me of our dear Sir Ian Botham (legend) as he's a very intelligent guy despite the hair, bleached teeth and over-cooked skin. Seriously, though, he's lovely and probably the best spinner I have ever seen.
He does get stick over in England but it's out of respect for him that we do it. I had no idea about those attacks, you've opened my eyes. Let's hope he can help in any way he can.

Yes, I think that he may be able to do some good here with this matter. Maybe if it works, he may be knighted just like Ian Botham! 
Thanks for your comments Janey.

Yep, leafy greens such as spinach are great for iron. You can grow your own quite easily even if you do not have a backyard, so the cost is kept down. It is sad that it is easier and cheaper to eat badly. It is the same here too. 
But like I was saying, growing your own produce can be easy. There is some awesome You Tube videos teaching these things, if you do not have space, you can grow in small boxes on balconies or steps, window sills, etc.
The best way to get leafy greens into yourself is through Green Smoothies. They sound horrible, but once you get into them, you can get creative and make some really delicious and nutritious meals. Green Smoothies are made by blending leafy greens with fruit such as bananas and mango, adding frozen berries, honey or dates to sweeten. I make really basic ones sometimes, other times I put loads of different ingredients in. I have one of these smoothies most days! YUM

You're very welcome! You are a healthy person, right? I've been having problems in that area (I won't bore you with it all because it's in previous discussions) it's just that all healthy foods here in the UK are so expensive..so going down the "convenience food" route is the cheaper option. I don't mean TV dinners, I'm not that bad...but I'm so FUSSY! I'd love to go vegetarian but what do they eat to get their iron? Spinach probably! Yuch! Any ideas?

I agree that it is good for our two counties. Warney is a true ambassador to not only cricket, but also relations between Australia and countries such as India and the other cricketing nations. Hopefully the media can start to show some of the positive things that Indian students get out of studying in Australia and not just the bad stuff!
