Motlop

Fuck I really hope we can shut Daniel Motlop down this weekend. That'd show him for moving from Melbourne to Adelaide to be closer to his family in the Northern Territory.

Bird Poo

Apparently when I was about two Alastair saw me eat bird poo.

Parking

Why do my friends and family think it's acceptable to park on my next door neighbours verge?

Black Cocks

The New Zealand badminton team is officially known as the Black Cocks.

ID

I had my ID checked last time for the first time in 2 years. The guy said it was because there were cops hanging round the door. Bastard.

Astrology

It sickens me that anyone even reads astrology. It's fucking ridiculous that people take note of it. Hate people.

Prospectus

Apparently the AFL Prospectus is a magazine talking about all the players for the footy tipping and fantasy football players. From an article on the afl website: "The big pre-season news for footy fans, players, coaches and Fantasy ‘Dream Team’ tipsters is the release of the first edition of the AFL PROSPECTUS."

The footballer formerly known as Wizard (and even then he was inconsistent)

This year is a do-or-die year for Chris Connolly (and should be for Cameron Schwab as well). It's also the year that they really need to perform to gain any on-going respect in the league. All the fans and the commentators tell us what a talented squad they have. And to help them perform in this very important year, of all the people in this talented squad, they chose Jeff Farmer as vice captain.

Nicholas Cage

You may already know this given he was born in October, but did you know that Nicholas Cage named his son Kal-El Coppola Cage. I really do agree with people who say that there should be a list of permissible names and no others are allowed to be given to children.

Imagine there's no skyshow

It shows how long it's been since I went to the skyshow that today was the first time I heard Imagine in years.

Spin the goon bag

This week is the 50th birthday of the Hills Hoist. They were discussing this on triple J and mentioned the game of spin the goon-bag, which is pretty much the same as spin the bottle but you tie a goon-bag to a hills hoist and spin it and the person who it lands on has to drink from it. My parents are going away in a few weeks and they have a hills hoist. Spin the goon-bag party at my parents next month?

Pot calling the kettle pink

I think it's ridiculous that Pink has done a song complaining about stupid girls. Unless she's got a good sense of irony perhaps.

We just moved here from Canada and people think I don't have a sense of humour, eh

Canada have banned the part of the Australian tourism ad campaign because it shows a half-empty glass of beer and "implied unbranded alcohol consumption (a part-empty beer glass) is unacceptable".

I, Richard

Everyone said that I, Robot wasn't very good. I just watched it and I really liked it. You're all wrong.

Pet Hate #765

People using muppet as an insult. Not only is it a stupid thing to call someone, it's turning the name muppet from a good thing into a bad thing.

Worst

I know I've previously said that Everybody Loves Raymond, Becker and Australia's Funniest Home Videos are the worst shows on TV but I really think that Today Tonight is worse.

It's a knock-out

According to Dean Laidley Glenn Archer "got a bit knocked out" in the game on the weekend.

Hate people

I just got told off for going the wrong way up a one way street. But the street was the one next to HJs and KFC in Subi and isn't a one way street. You would have thought the guy would have noticed that the reason I was waiting for him to go past was because there were shit loads of cars parked on my side of the street heading in the same direction as me. Hate that guy.

But boy was the KFC nice.

Puff

I'm sure to break it, but I declare a blackban of Dominos for the duration of their Puff ads.

Bono

I fucking hate Bono. He's probably helped the world quite a lot (although that remains to be seen) but he's such a self-righteous self-promoting dickhead. I can't believe he got joint Time person of the year. And was even considered for the Nobel peace prize.

Plus his songs get overplayed on the radio.

Update:

Fuckin, Denton just Bono that he is charm personified. What crap. He's dickhead personified. I fucking hate musicians with a message (although I do like the music Midnight Oil made).

Hate this fuckin game

That was the one of the most amazing games of cricket I've never seen. What did they do to the pitch?

A killer album

Hot Fuss by the Killers is such a good album.

Unbang the drum

Sometimes it amazes me just how bad some of the music played on triple J is.

It's just not cricket

The shirts our one day cricket team are wearing in South Africa at the moment are fucking stupid. They're mostly green. We're almost indistinguishable from the South Africans.

The new captain outrage

I'm fucking outraged. I was in the Vintage Cellars opposite the Nicholson Road house and was talking to the girl (who was there when we lived across the road) about the house. She said that the guys who moved in there after us drank a shit-load. What about us? I was going through 2 cartons a week at one stage, not to mention Matt and Liam. I'm tempted to impose a it'll-hurt-me-more-than-it-hurts-you blackban.
