Get out

I just told my flatmate to "get out" of my room for saying that Kristin Kreuk is rubbish. You also can get out Liam.

Crutched Friars

There's a street near my work called simply "Crutched Friars".

We love you Warney

Warney really is the greatest Australian of all time. His figures at one stage were 2 overs, 1 maiden 2 for 1.

This is a great blog

Here comes September

The roos are in the finals and are ready to crush everyone in their path. Carn the mighty roos.

Azaria

I think this is funny both because of the content but also cos she is incredibly ugly.

Lime Green

A guy at work was wearing a lime green shirt with a bright purple tie today. It really was remarkably poor.

Coffee Boy

We went to the pub on Sunday to watch the Chelsea Arsenal game. Afterwards Terry and I went to a bar nearby and had a drink. Terry was sitting next to the coffee machine and kept picking up little clumps of used coffee and rubbing it into his palms and then lifting his hands up to his face and sniffing them. I kept telling him to stop but he wouldn't listen.

He is no longer Salad Boy. He is now Coffee Boy.

Locals

I have a pub about 10 metres from my front door and another (which is better) about 25 metres from the front door. Phwoar.

Hate Liam

It's ok, we aren't really arguing. Captain Outrage was written by me (Richard). Liam wasn't originally in on it but found out after a couple of days.

This has all been an advertising ploy for Liam's new blog which he will now take over the running of.

Disregard

Please disregard what Liam has said about me on his blog. He is being an arsehole is twisting the truth.

Incandescent with rage

A very prominent Labour MP died in the last week and his funeral was a very big occasion. Tony Blair was on holiday and elected not to go to the funeral. One of the guy's mates (a prominent racing identity) was giving a eulogy at the funeral and got really stuck into Tony Blair for not coming. It was so completely inappropriate but his excuse was that it needed to be said and he didn't have any other medium to say it (even though I saw him on tv the day later at the races giving his comments about the horses).

Concussion

From an article on realfooty about concussion.

"Take the example of former teammate Duncan Kellaway, who was KO'd a few seasons ago, and after being treated in the rooms, was brought back out to the interchange bench. He was sitting next to former Richmond physio Paul Coburn, and was continually asking him what had happened and what was wrong.

After answering quite a few times, Coby was starting to get a bit jack of it, so he wrote on a piece of paper: "Duncan, you've been concussed playing a game of football, and you're a little confused." After that, every time Duncan got the urge to ask the question yet again, he'd look down at the piece of paper, read it, start nodding and get a little look of satisfaction on his face, even if it only lasted a few minutes until he'd go through it all again."

110%

I hate how americans talk about giving 110%. Tools.

Incidentally I quite like american people. There's far too much american bashing.

Long Live The King

My parents brought over a tape last year from Alastair of a highlights package of Wayne Carey's career. I haven't owned a video player so only got to watch it tonight. I cried while watching it (both out of appreciation and as part of a sense of loss). I consider myself blessed to have seen him play live. I genuinely love him.

Billy Bowden

Billy Bowden's antics are starting to piss me off. I reckon a batsman could reasonably stay at the crease and claimed that he hadn't been given out when he holds up his finger bent.

Como Boys

There was an article in the West a couple of days ago saying that a survey had been done (via a speed dating agency) that had determined that men from Como are the most charismatic in Perth. And men from Subi are second. That explains why I'm constantly having to beat girl off with a stick.

Job

I got a new contract working for an insurance company. It seems good enough so far. A friend that I've worked with during both my contracts over here is also working there which is good.

Footy

I can't think of the last time I enjoyed watching a game of footy less than that one (the roos collingwood one). And we won (in a victory the commentators keep talking about as famous). The roos were crap, the umpires were appalling, the game buffered every 3 or 4 minutes and collingwood were a bunch of wankers as usual.

But we've made the finals. Now to win the next three games and we will be third on the ladder.

Grand final here we come.

The stupidest person ever?

An article in the Metro today:

A football-mad teenager cried foul when doctors told him they planned to replace his missing thumb with one of his toes.
Shane Hornsby refused to have the operation because it meant he would miss the start of the soccer season.
Instead, he persuaded surgeons to restore his missing thumb by growing extra flesh on his groin. It will be transplanted on to his thumb to improve his grip.
The 13-year-old, named his team's player of the year last season, lost his thumb when he caught his hand on a fence as he took a shortcut home in May.
Paramedics failed to find the digit in time for it to be sewn back on.
But Shaun, from Stockton-on-Tees, was determined not to lose his toe. He said: 'I didn't want the operation because it would stop me playing football. I've already missed out on a trip to Holland and I don't want to miss any more.'

Pick-up line

I quite like the pick-up line "Mind if I stand here until it's safe where I farted?"

Too pissed

I got refused entry to a bar last night by the bouncer because I was too pissed. It was ridiculous, I'd only had about 4 drinks and wasn't pissed at all. We eventually convinced him to let me in. What a tool.

It's my party

It's my birthday today.

Ribena

There's an ad on in England for Ribena saying "Ribena tastes great because 95% of all Britain's blackcurrants make it." Surely that's not a not particularly good thing. Did they completely misunderstand the point of the John West ads?

Bog Laps

There's a guy on the news saying that the government shouldn't crack down on loud car stereos. He says his stereo is about 130dB and is the same volume as the Concorde.

I should get him to do a guest spot on Blog Laps

Richie Cunningham

They just showed a clip from Happy Days and for the first time I thought that Richie Cunningham looked like Liam (admittedly Richie did look a bit different to usual).

Ashes to ashes

Apparently the last Ashes test (before this series) that didn't involve one of the waugh twins was in 1985.
