Friend
Playmate
Willing listener (even though deaf from birth)
Protector
Blue cattle dog.
Billy died after a typically male illness.
Prostate cancer.... Well atleast thats what we think it was in the end.
So mate,
to the best dog a bloke has ever had
I hope the pain is gone now
I hope youve met up with Zac and Noah and are playing with a self throwing Kong toy.
I hope there are plenty of cats to chase (theyre obviously in cat hell) and postmen to yell at.
Go walkies whenever you want my friend.
I hope you can hear now.
I miss you

Here we are in our new home!!!
So much for saving up a while before moving into another house!
We found a place in Bligh Park (near Windsor) where several of my friends either have lived or do now. So I am very familiar with the area.
We have air conditioning!!!!! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
We have a fully enclosed carport (no it ISNT a garage but close)with no less than 3 garden sheds facing into it. Its a mini workshop!
One shed has power points, lights, air extractor AND workbench. pig in shit, me.
We have 3 bedrooms, study, 2 toilets, family/sunroom, nice ,modern kitchen and big enough dining room plus a good sized lounge. Outside we get a nice covered patio area plus a gazebo! theres no neighbours to the rear (following 6 years of tradition that - we have never had rear neighbours... just lucky i guess!!!!!), the block overlooks Windsor Downs ature reserve which has lots of walking tracks winding through it. We are on town water AND sewer (yeah yeah laugh but mum n dad are on pump out in their 6 year old home which SUCKS with more than 2 people living there).
The carport has 6 fluro lights AND 6 outdoor ppower points. My Peugeot is gonna live there. Itll be nice being able to work on the car(s) without cooking in the sun, without having to run stupid extension leads everywhere n on nice level concrete. I might just get myself a creepycrawler to get under the car!
It also has more powerpoints and phone jacks than any place ive ever seen. I am currently in the kitchen (big woop) but I could as easily be out in the shed, in the bedroom, in the laundry or in the back yard (i AM on the notebook currently)annnnnnnd
being in a nice newish area the telephone exchanges and relatively new phone lines can handle noticeably higher data tranfer speeds - ive never seen more than 42kps from my connexion n today its running at 49.5! The ONLY time Ive seen faster was an old 56K modem I had which was shall we say optimistic? So I'm rather happy. I also got to pick my own telephone number which was tres cool. We are at the end of a LOOONG cul de sac so theres no through traffic. No housing commission riff raff around either unlike where we were b4 in bathurst. AND its only $30 dearer than a place in housing commission hell (aka Sth Windsor) which was fibro, had no sheds, no carport, no A/C, shite kitchen, shite bathroom, only one toilet (big deal but hey ya get used to 2 in a real hurry), was in a scum street with neighbours who looked entirely too much like the local burglary union. This place is a quantom step up from there for not much more cash.
In short Im a well happy little camper today. My best mate (here) lives about 4 minutes away in the other part of the suburb, n I actually live in the suburb I play cricket for now lol. Its all nice n level so we can go bike riding without killing ourselves too. (Im lazy i know it but i figure Im not training for la Tour De France so hills can bite my shiny metal ass to quote my favourite cartoon character - bender from Futurama).
Other news.... hmmmmzzzzz
dog is sick... enlarged prostate ' its not uncommon in elderly dogs'
elderly dogs? ELDERLY DOGS? MY dog? elderly? That fine young blue heeler is ...*counts* only 10..... ten? shit... elderly may be right eh. Poor bugger cant go wee with any comfort :/
He has lost some weight though n looks well tough n fit to go with it. Cats in the area best watch out Billy is coming to town soooooon.
Anyway, pizza at mums' tonight so I gotta jet seeeeeeeyaaaaaaaaaaaaasss

stupid cops, dumb politicians etc
So the cops think it is ok to turn in front of 6 lines of traffic to pursue some outrageous criminal doing 110KPH in a 100 zone. Sounds bloody silly to me.
On the one hand I am happy that fat shit 'alleged' kiddy fiddler Orkopoulous (fmr minister of aboriginal affairs) DIDNT manage to top himself. One the other hand It might be good if he succeeded. Glad he survived so that the criminals can treat him to some of the crud he inflicted on kids over the years. Pity he is gonna waste a PILE of taxpayers' money keeping the creep alive.
Well I failed dismally on Saturday at cricket. Made 3. Was shitting the entire time too. Couldnt move my feet. Couldnt see the ball. felt weird.
going to Bendigo tomorrow.
Hope everyone is ok.

well well well
Is this a fancy typewriter or what?
Oh its a computer...
I remember these.
Ive been wandering about Windsor relearning where everything is etc.
My best mate has recruited me for his cricket team. Played my first game in 8 years last weekend (and this weekend - played over 2 weeks) did ok fielding. Scored 59 with the bat (TOP SCORE me)which was fantastic. We lost by 9 runs which was great given 2 of our batsmen didnt bother showing up. Played with a bat I paid $2 for at a Salvation Army store. Wicked - I didnt want to ruin my good ($35) bat I bought 2nd hand at a market in Melbourne, as it was raining off and on all weekend.
It is a bit tough getting online at the me as I cant tie up the phone here and late at night I have just been too darned tired to log on.
Mums' dog is such a cack. She is a 3 yo blonde labrador. She near turns inside out with excitement when you say the word 'walkies'. What is funny is MY dog gets rather snooty if HE doesnt get to go for a walk too. He has a sore back leg, is rather overweight, and getting on a bit but walk out without HIM n check out the filthy looks he gives. Mums' dog is slowly learning (from me) that treats arent a right but a privilege which she must take nice n delicately or she doesnt get them.also learning to heel on the lead n sit etc. She gets let run wild by the parents unfortunately.
We got rained out of a local swap this weekend. Glad we didnt drive a long way to go to it.

The Hamster At 500KPH
Hammond you GIT
Not only do I have to deal with a gurl gutted by Steve Irwins' passing then YOU go n prove what a twat you are n try vehiclur suicide at 500KPH.
Yes you are her favourite Topgear dude.
Hope you get better soon n get back to smashing caravans into each other.
BTW I reckon your cheap sports coupe comparo was missing a natural selection - the Renault Fuego. Ok not as fast as some of the other cars shown but I bet for the pittance you were paying you could have gotten one in rather good nick. Also the old series Alfetta GTV too was ignored.
God Im tired of public school communists i mean teachers bleating about government money going to private schools. I mean... obviously they think the parents who send their kids to private schools DONT pay taxes - unlike those unemployed etc who send their kids to public schools.... who DONT pay tax. They bleat on about lack of funds like it is a new thing! I remember when I was at school it was ALWAYS short of cash.
as for those 'entertainers' who refused to go to Iraq well we wont be buying your records anymore either - dont support the war support our troops.
God Italy hqas a gay national anthem. Anyone who whines about the Australian one orta listen to some others.
fingers crossed Osama Bin Ladin has died of some particularly noxious disease. I am not getting my hopes up though.
I intend to learn to surf soon.
yeah shut up laughing up the back there.

Been moving.
Many trips to the storage unit...check
many trips to the Salvos shop...check
many trips to dads' garage (4 hour round trip over the mountains)...check.I am now blogging on an old olsd Toshiba notebook which I finally finally hooked up to that thar innernet thingy. So if I make any typos stiff - I dont have my fave microsoft bendy keyboard.
I dislike how my backyard looks like a bomb went off in it whenever we move. No I am not a neat freak (though i suspect my mothers' OCD cleaning compulsion did in fact rub off a little).
Organised the carpet steam cleaning today for next week. Shits me. I used t odo it for a lliving and would likely do a better job with the little hire machines from woolworths than the guy with the truck we have hired. But nooo the real estate agents require a receipt for professional services - like I am not gonna be more motivated to save my bond!!
Thank god we have a wagon now though. Stuff just disappears into it.
Oh yeah
Rockmeister I will not be in Sydney at the end of Sept. We are going to Melbourne for a week as it is the gurls' nieces' 3rd birthday n she is rather taken with me for some reason. So we have to go down there.
Hmmm
I am not catholic. Dont believe. Looking for a sticker reading 'born again pagan'.
But SHIT if i dont wish the Pope would call for a damned crusade. They wanna flippin jihad ok... WE wanna crusade against militant morons who are still living in the 12th century. You dickheads PROVED the fat old german dress wearers' point rather neatly by your on cue, scripted, leqad about like cattle by the nose reactions. youre being played you sons of silly people.
Recent news from afghanistan.
australian soldiers 150
Taliban shitwits 3 (counting 6 wounded as, well,.... you know)
GIVE UP. our blokes are better trained, better equipped and not as stupid as your lot.
as for those wankers groaning about our troops making vids of some harmless horseplay LIGHTEN UP. You go get shot at every day n see ifn you dont get some gallows humour going.
Crikey...

2 down...
Steve Irwin gone
Peter Brock gone
Who is next?
Can Australia afford to lose two fair dinkum legends in ONE week?
I was truly gobsmacked when I heard about steve Irwin
I think Im a bit sorta shocked that Brocky is gone.

so whats been happening
well finally
the blog god decided to lock me out for some reason.
not that anything outrageously exciting has happened here.
the gurl went to sydney for some balance tests on wednesday. I got to sit around creatively perving on all the cute nurses. I now know where all the cute nurses in NSW get sent (they DONT get sent to Bathurst or Windsor). So that didnt hurt toooo much (4 hours watching delightful young and delicious more senior women wandering about in front of me mmmmmm). See in my bio it SAYS im an old perv.
Looks like we are moving back to sydney. The gurl keeps getting sent there for tests etc. I has taken a while to convince her that just because we made the decision doesnt mean we have to start shifting shit immediately. She always wants to put the cart in front of the damned horse.
I found out how heavy encyclopedias are last week. Bought a whole set of world books for $5. Dont look like theyve ever been opened. Bloody heavy in a box though.
Someone mentioned squash the other day i said 'yeah.... I remember that' Havent played much lately. Just seemed to not get round to it. What it means is the victim is getting cheeky enough to beat me once in a while... cant have that so Im moving to sydney lol.
Looks like we licked the last problem in the peugeot. had a bad earth somewhere which was draining the battery. yay

Boy howdy what fun
Lisa I think you like 2 1/2 men cuz of charlie sheen .... I like it cuz i htink Rose is hot (aside from it being funny).
What a rip
Jules got punted from Skating with the Stars.
The ONLY reason bloody Lara Bingle gets through is cuz of her smile.
The ONLY reason bloody Jake Wall gets through is cuz the chicks all go awwwwwwwww.
SHE doesnt do more than FUCK ALL actual skating in any one routine n neither does he.
And Im dirty cuz I thought JUles' partner Kristina was juuust as cute as a button
AAnd as far as I am concerned Torvill & Dean are still the best pair around. I reckon they could still do well competitively.
The gurl reckons every time I take a 2nd diabetes tablet I start vomiting. I think it is just coincidence. I think theyre working slowly but surely. All my clothes feel a bit looser. I feel better too.
Rocky you dope
the 'you sunk my battleship' was a simpsons reference.
I have NO idea what movie you are refering to.
heh mate I just finished reading Livys' account of the 2nd Punic War... only what? 13 years AFTER I did the course at uni for it. No... I NEVER read any of it when I did the assignments - if you can't cobble together a decent essay 'quoting' livy from modern texts then ya not trying eh? I actually found it rather engrossing! Not REEEEAL sure why scipio was given such a wrap though. Just took up the Augustan Histories. Then Ima revisit that anti- imperial diatribe more commonly known as Procopius' Secret History. no I am NOT gonna try to wade through Thucydides EVER. Never indeed have I read it cover to cover. Never will I. BORINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.
May try wading through Polybius again though to find out what REALLY happened in the 2nd Punic.
Got grading tonight for squash again. I never really do well at grading for some reason. Hopefully tonight is different as I have not swamped myself with squash lately. Been a bit lazy tell the truth. I think sometimes I go to grading having too much play under my belt. Just a bit jaded. Past the peak sorta.
Mum is quietly hinting here n there that maybe we should move back down to sydney.
I dont really want to - but it would be a touch more convenient in many ways - the gurl could get a psych nurse she actually likes mebbe? Probably better services too. Cheaper fuel, cheaper food, dearer rent... hmmmz.
Whatever should I do?

Lazy lazy boy...
Having trouble working up any interest in anything lately.
Terminal ennui i think.
Don't ya love it when you get a prediction nnnneeeearly right?
I caled 'yasmins getting married' for 3 episodes before tanking. It lasted 4.
I dont think yasmin is gonna get hitched any time soon.
The ford wagon got new tyres (about the only thing I managed to work up any enthusiasm for) on Thursday. 4 (count em 4) brand new michelin XM1 tyres. Ahhhhhh... THATS better. And a wheel alignment eh. NOW it goes where it is pointed. Rides a bit better too. Now to get the new dampers installed (I have them they just aint in the car yet).
We polished both cars on friday too. yeah yeah washed them first. Now I dunno bout anyone else but my peugeot gets washed once every 6 months or so whether it needs it or not. There IS a drought on ya know. I THOUGHT it was silver! It is! Muddy brown just isnt the same . The general clean allowed me to discover that there is a cat wandering about here for which I have coined the phrase 'dead cat meowing' - It is dead it just doesnt know it yet. Actually its probably gonna be a race between meself n the bloke across the courtyard as to who gets the honour of wasting the furry little stinkbag. Yes BOTH our cars have suffered the depredations of a cat using our duco as a scratching post.Ima kill it if i catch it. Wring its sneaky little cat neck.
We in Australia are about to enter that televisual twilight zone known as 'Australian Idol' - this immediately after the nightmare on channel ten also known as Dont bother 6 i mean big brother 6, which was possibly even WORSE (if such thing be possible) than any BB before it. The only part of IDol worth watching is the auditions. There are some sad folks out there. *I* can sing better than most of them and I'm sure if you were to ask rocky he would assure you I CANT SING. Not to save my life. Cant hold a tune. Tone deaf. No rhythm. Scare deaf people my voice.
Didnt mind the 27yo yummy mummy they had in from Newcastle though. Might just have to watch it simply to perv on the hottest chick to grace aussie TV in a long long time (cepting anna choy n toni pearen *sighhhhhhh*).
There was ONE good thing to happen when Yasmin tanked - we got Futurama back AND in a miraculous piece of bare arsed fluke programing it is generally on right after the Simpsons - which is where it belongs. Thank the TV gods for small miracles. A completely SHITE show replaced by a rather funny show. I am bender insert girder... ROFL.
Love that 'How I met your Mother' featuring the edible Alyson Hannigan (Willow from Buffy) and the hottest brunette i think Ive ever seen on TV (innnc. Lauren Graham, Catherine Zeta, Sally Williams *shes on adverts here*, and others I cannot remember). Whats more aside from being a chick fest its actually quite funny and not in the 'what am I chopped liver' sense that made friends and seinfeld such a yawnfest.
My name is earl - not baaaad though Im totally over the intro now. Dunno why they think that blonde chick is so hot when the latino maid is sex walking.
2 and a half men - for me the comedy highlight of the viewing week.
Top Gear - ahhhhhhhhhhh a $300,000 dollar sports car? Yeah I'll burn the cllutch out n 4 wheel drift the arse off it n shhred shit out $1000 tyres all in the name of serious journalism. GOTTA LOVE THIS SHOW. I was especially pleased when they drove a Rolls Royce into a swimming pool. OH YEAH. whats that? Drop this here miniskip onto a Maserati? ok. awesome. dont buy a big expensive shitbox chysler V8 - the good ole holden monaro is half the price n EATS it. yeah baby yeah.
Bout time we had some new episodes of South Park.
Every Tuesday is a giggle when Soddoff Baldric ... I mean Tony Robinson hosts Time Team. Even the gurl is getting interested in ancient Romano Britsh archaeological remains ' oh this is heaps more interesting than i thought it would be!!' this even as my interest wanes. I am almost at the point where i think digging any more shit up is a gross waste of time and money for the most part - at least until the next ice age lowers world sea levels a hundred metres or so so we can find those sites currently under water. On that topic... people really ought to see a map of world sea levels over the last 100,000 years or so b4 bleating on about rising sea levels. Up down up down up down. This isnt a localised recent phenomenon shitwits. Its been happening for 100,000 years ATLEAST. Get over it.
Could Home and Away get any worse and unbelievable? Shit a brick. The writers have a case of terminal constipation i think. Who in their right mind would EVER want to live in a place like that? not me. Hell I am finding Neighbours more believable at the moment. I thought Headland was bad (no come to think truly verily it was indeed a gross piece of crap). Thank you yasmins getting married for tanking cuz NOW we can watch Futurama instead of Home and Away.
The Ronnie Johns Half Hour is back this week thank fuck. There should be a sticker 'may cause gut ruptures from too much laughing'.
SCi; CSI New York; CSI Miami..... original scraping by on the unboring stakes. New York I like Gary Scinese but can take or leave the rest (as IF a highly trained forensic pathologist - thats DOCTOR ie about 12 years at uni would chuck it in to be a shitty scene of crime tech - sorry but i CANNOT imagine that would be anything other than a pay cut of about 50%). Miami... god we take the piss out of the boss guys cadence and delivery of his lines. one word. Wanker.
Love NCIS cuz its juuuuuuust a little goofy.
Jag is back n frankly its kinda boring. Catherine *sigh* Bell looks like shes lost weight n frankly it doesnt look good on her. where went they sexy sexy sexy curves? She was the hottest woman on tvfor a while - I hope she hasnt caught hollywood syndrome.
Heard on the grapevine that Jessica Simpson asked Pamela Anderson how she managed to run so slowly at the start of Baywatch every week. Apparently Pammy patiently explained a little known technique called 'sssssslowwwwwwwwww motttttionn' camerawork. Hell even if its apocraphal its funny as hell.
grrr
ok ive had enough typing for today n the gurl has to go to the doctorb (thats a simpsons joke).
haha you sank my battleship.
Terminal ennui i think.
Don't ya love it when you get a prediction nnnneeeearly right?
I caled 'yasmins getting married' for 3 episodes before tanking. It lasted 4.
I dont think yasmin is gonna get hitched any time soon.
The ford wagon got new tyres (about the only thing I managed to work up any enthusiasm for) on Thursday. 4 (count em 4) brand new michelin XM1 tyres. Ahhhhhh... THATS better. And a wheel alignment eh. NOW it goes where it is pointed. Rides a bit better too. Now to get the new dampers installed (I have them they just aint in the car yet).
We polished both cars on friday too. yeah yeah washed them first. Now I dunno bout anyone else but my peugeot gets washed once every 6 months or so whether it needs it or not. There IS a drought on ya know. I THOUGHT it was silver! It is! Muddy brown just isnt the same . The general clean allowed me to discover that there is a cat wandering about here for which I have coined the phrase 'dead cat meowing' - It is dead it just doesnt know it yet. Actually its probably gonna be a race between meself n the bloke across the courtyard as to who gets the honour of wasting the furry little stinkbag. Yes BOTH our cars have suffered the depredations of a cat using our duco as a scratching post.Ima kill it if i catch it. Wring its sneaky little cat neck.
We in Australia are about to enter that televisual twilight zone known as 'Australian Idol' - this immediately after the nightmare on channel ten also known as Dont bother 6 i mean big brother 6, which was possibly even WORSE (if such thing be possible) than any BB before it. The only part of IDol worth watching is the auditions. There are some sad folks out there. *I* can sing better than most of them and I'm sure if you were to ask rocky he would assure you I CANT SING. Not to save my life. Cant hold a tune. Tone deaf. No rhythm. Scare deaf people my voice.
Didnt mind the 27yo yummy mummy they had in from Newcastle though. Might just have to watch it simply to perv on the hottest chick to grace aussie TV in a long long time (cepting anna choy n toni pearen *sighhhhhhh*).
There was ONE good thing to happen when Yasmin tanked - we got Futurama back AND in a miraculous piece of bare arsed fluke programing it is generally on right after the Simpsons - which is where it belongs. Thank the TV gods for small miracles. A completely SHITE show replaced by a rather funny show. I am bender insert girder... ROFL.
Love that 'How I met your Mother' featuring the edible Alyson Hannigan (Willow from Buffy) and the hottest brunette i think Ive ever seen on TV (innnc. Lauren Graham, Catherine Zeta, Sally Williams *shes on adverts here*, and others I cannot remember). Whats more aside from being a chick fest its actually quite funny and not in the 'what am I chopped liver' sense that made friends and seinfeld such a yawnfest.
My name is earl - not baaaad though Im totally over the intro now. Dunno why they think that blonde chick is so hot when the latino maid is sex walking.
2 and a half men - for me the comedy highlight of the viewing week.
Top Gear - ahhhhhhhhhhh a $300,000 dollar sports car? Yeah I'll burn the cllutch out n 4 wheel drift the arse off it n shhred shit out $1000 tyres all in the name of serious journalism. GOTTA LOVE THIS SHOW. I was especially pleased when they drove a Rolls Royce into a swimming pool. OH YEAH. whats that? Drop this here miniskip onto a Maserati? ok. awesome. dont buy a big expensive shitbox chysler V8 - the good ole holden monaro is half the price n EATS it. yeah baby yeah.
Bout time we had some new episodes of South Park.
Every Tuesday is a giggle when Soddoff Baldric ... I mean Tony Robinson hosts Time Team. Even the gurl is getting interested in ancient Romano Britsh archaeological remains ' oh this is heaps more interesting than i thought it would be!!' this even as my interest wanes. I am almost at the point where i think digging any more shit up is a gross waste of time and money for the most part - at least until the next ice age lowers world sea levels a hundred metres or so so we can find those sites currently under water.

ARGHHHHHHHHHH what a MESS!!!!
We had shit EVERYWHERE yesterday.
Sorting stuff out for swapmeeting, stuff to go to the Salvos, stuff to go in the round file.
Burnt MORE money (sighhhh bins for stuff to put in the trailer).
Emptied the garden shed (stupid tiny shed... dont they KNOW blokes like BIG sheds to put stuff in??) Rearranged stuff. Rang my father to ask him what the weird looking grey thing with wheels, and a big red engine with the label 'briggs and stratton Quantom 50' was. He said 'sounds like a lawn mower' n then I cracked up laughing. See we dont get to use it much ... been here 2 years in October n its come out of the shed ONCE. So yesterday I hung it up on the wall of the shed. INSTANT floor space. Shit those things take up space! Helps not to throw stuff on the floor which could be put on the steel shelves I installed when we moved in!
I (we) have nearly 200 teddy bears of various shapes n sizes. I made the mistake of selling about 20 used Careflight bears (particular teddy sold by Careflight which is a medical emergency unit here in NSW)at a swap. Now everyone buys us bloody bears (ok ok dad bought a BOX full for $2) to sell.
I am gonna get a strip of velcro on one shoulder of my swapmeet shirt, n stick the Careflight bear i call 'Nudey Pilot Bear' (they all come with little flying or medical based outfits on, so you can have a pilot, or a doorman for the helicopter, a nurse, nurse in the helicopter, doctor, etc). I call him that cuz whoever had him b4 took his little leather jacket off n left his little leather flying cap. Ima ask him if someone makes an offer on something 'surright???' n then do the whole ventriloquist 'yeahhh surright' like the bear is approving the deal . This on top of wearing my Viking helmet. Dad wears red suspenders (NOT the leg type). I am gonna wear my viking helmet! heh

So anyway After I thought i was gonna die...
god Ive been sick
Since friday Ive lost 6 kilos (14ish pounds to the americans). Went to the hospital today. They sent me home 'nothing we can do - youll get over it'
Truth be told I am actually feeling a bit better tonight.
Had a revisit of the gastrointestinal upset I had in May. Murderous. Im surprised noone has actually died from it so far.
Im sorry I havent been blogggin much but stuff keeps getting in the way lately.
The gurl has to go down to sydney to see a neurologist next tuesday as the one up here cant fix her. We have been running about with that for weeks now.
Went to a swapmeet with dad last weekend. 6 hour drive in our new (old) falcon wagon. Rained for TWO WHOLE DAYS then stopped the day the swap was actually on. Sweeeett.
anyway
too weak to type anymore seeyas soon I hope

stuff n stuff
I think my eyesight is getting better
Everything looks a little sharper n better defined.
i feel a bit better too. Maybe the drugs are starting to work a little.
Bought new Nikes on Saturday. As i mentioned somewhere else I have been running about in shoes 2 sizes too big. I have now rectified that. Got dead sexy new nikes (superceded model on sspecial - totally poor I never buy this generation stuff, always stuff I can get at a big dscount. Hell I have been looking at swapmeets for 2nd hand shoes even).finally I dont run like a spaz anymore! The gurl wasnt too unhappy about me getting a pair as the last lot I got that actually FIT I bought in 2000, and I still wear them even though they are totally flogged.
Hopefully i will start to get back some of the fitness I lost through injury.
What a surprise eh?
A girl on Dont Bother 6 here was assaulted by 2 of the male housemembers. Time this sad sad show was axed. Time to admit that the latest bunch are all insipid idiots.
Lets face it - mix a bunch of stone age guys who are barely able to keep their knuckles from dragging, combined IQ smaller than their average shoe size, with too much booze (the shows' producers are to blame for that) and scantily clad young women who are about as smart as their MP3 players, and it is a surprise something like this hasnt happened before. That this show has continued so long is proof that our society is totally decadent. Remember what happened to Rome. The barbarians stormed the walls folks.

Ya find Out Something New Every Day
Doctor put me on prozac last week.
Not cuz Im depressed or anything.
(have been in the past, not now)
She thinks it works well as a weight control thingy. If ya happy ya dont eat as much. Seems to be working too. Tends to suppress your appetite without removing it totally like the phentermine does.
We also did blood tests for blood sugar levels and insulin levels. Turns out I have that type X syndrome thingo where you are insulin resistent. Type of diabetes (type 2 it seems). So I have drugs for that too. Apparently (so she says) being insulin resistent can cause both fat and muscle accretion. Which means weight gain. *sigh*
Apparently resistance means the bod stores sugar as fat immediately AND when demand is made (eg running away from a lion or chasing a squash ball) fat from the stomach is supposed to be burnt once the glycogen in your ready use stores at the muscles is used up (which happens quickly). Insulin acts to access those fat stores. But not if you have whatever it is i have :/ explains the tingling in my legs and arms at night too.
Explains why 3 hours of exercise a day was doing exactly jackshit for weight loss.
Well lol at leas twith the prozac im pretty happy HAH. Sitting here with a stupid grin on my face like ive been smoking dope.
My poor long suffering Peugeot 505 is finally running like itself again.
We discovered (this was a couple of weeks ago) it had a cracked insulator on a spark plug cap (similar effect to a shit plug lead) AND the dizzy cap was corroded inside one of the terminals. Different cylinders too. Amazing it was running at all.
Sorting the timing out via trial and error over the next couple of days/weeks. Got that I think perfect on WEdnesday. As well I reset the fuel/air mixture which I think had crept into the wayyyyyyyyyyy rich zone while fiddling trying to get it runnning right. It is now idling and running better than I think at any time since we bought it. Along with his 4 new tyres n new front shocks n new front brake discs n new pads all round it doesnt know what hit it.
The Ford wagon goes for rego on Tuesday. luckily the guvmint giives us Carers a nice handshake at this time of year so we have the money for rego and to give dad for the parts etc it needed. I think secretly dad is rather impressed with it actually. Hasnt had a bad thing to say about it so far. This from someone whos' father (my grandfather) could not say 'ford' without spitting on the ground. Yes.. I remember seeing him do it. dad has a collection of vintage chevrolets in his garage. Our fambly business involved old chevs at one stage . But come Bathurst every year (big race here in Aus fer the ferriners) we all sat down n cheered on the fords. weird shit. For as long as I can remember I have had an almost visceral reaction against supporting holden racing cars. Which is odd as I dont care one way or the other for EITHER brand. We SHOULD have been holden supporters based on our marked chevrolet preference in old cars. As renault n peugoet have almost never been eligible I had no issues there.
We are trying t odecide whether to go to a swapmeet in blacktown this weekend. Dad is going. Probably will eh.
My exgf n I are BOTH devestated this week. Her cuz Keith Urban got married. Me cuz Nicole kidman got married. Me not so much though.
lol
Have a good weekend eh.

hey swingers
finally I feel human again
I have every episode of Stargate SG1 to watch... nine seasons... average of 15 episodes per season... plus the Atlantis offshoot. 170 plus hours... the gurls' brother loaned them to us on DVD.
watched up to half way through season 5 now... god my eyes are square.. but it is an interesting way to watch a show - you get to see the total development of the ideas and characters in a short space of time. Rather than watch one a week every now n then you get a good dose. Ive enjoyed it actually. it is my favourite scifi series anyway.
there isnt much on during the day anyway lol
well the soccer heads came down with a crash last night
as IF we could beat Brazil!!!
beat those damned english at the rugby though at least
payback....
now NSW needs to beat Queensland again
N rocky youve been amazingly restrained on the subject mate... feel free... they walloped us
wandered into that place.. whats it called... a gym? yeah a gym
today felt weird... everything was the same but different. I have lost SO much fitness this past 3 months of so what with injury and illness. Had a game of squash on the weekend. Went ok. played wednesday night n went shite. Not entirely unexpected I guess. My new shoes are good so thats a plus.
The 'new' car is nearly finished. Now all we have to do is get it registered in the gurls' name n everything is sweeeeet mate. Dad has had no trouble finding bits nor doing the repairs needed. Anyone who knows me knows I have 2 left fists with cars. I KNOW whats wrong but as for fixing it well i'm a spaz.
anyway
have a good time folks

What a Week or Two
Oy
God Im glad to be home!
Though I wwill miss the gurls' 2nd nephew n niece who both seemed to find me intriguing for some reason.
The niece is 2 (ish) n apparently totally ignores her 2 uncles n most of whats happening. She decided to put a quilt over her head n started walking round going 'Raraaarrrrrrrrr ' with her lil hands out the sides like a monster. I said 'oh no its the quilt monster its coming to get me.....when it gets past the armchair, lounge AND coffee table!!!' (she couldnt see a damned thing under it n kept bumping into stuff). She started giggling n fell over. It was a riot. Then when we had to go to the shops she attached herself to my leg n said 'noooooo don't gooooooooo!' n i was all awwwwwwwwwwww isnt she cute.
the boy is 4 nwas a real little monster when he was a toddler. Turned out ok though. He has a mischievous grin n impish sense of humour i reckon. Boistrous without being a pain in the butt. We took them to Donut King one day (truly expected it to be a nightmare) n they were extra well behaved.
Never did get to see any squash played. Was too tired or, when I had the kidney stone, too doped on codeine. Did go see where Geoff Hunts' Squash Centre is though (about 3 minutes down the street from where the gurls' dad works). Didnt go in - had no time as such but I know where it is now eh.
Bought another Grays squash racket while I was down there for the princely sum of $5. N yes it is a modern one. Weird. Its an ok one too. Not shit. Also found the final racket I needed to make my old racket collection complete (for me)
also scored a fine pair of squash shoes which actually fit me properly.
Some numbskull shop assistant told me i took US size 12 so thats what Ive been buying my shoes at the last couple of years. Turns out Im size 10.5. Which problem has been causing much slowness on court (try short sprints n then stop n turn n accelerate the other way with shoes on that are too big youll see - but you wouldnt if you dont put the right sized shoes on) and unco-ness running on the treadmill. To the point where I actually PREFERED my ancient (well.. 5 year old) battered, laceless, heelstrapless (they both broke) old Nike air huaraches to the newer ones I bought about 18 months ago (where I was told I was a size 12) why? cuz they ACTUALLY fit properly! So I am going to have to save some money to buy a pair of crosstrainers that actually are a 10.5 so Im not crippling myself. Hell the new adidas shoes are good. Ive played in them once already n was heaps faster and better balanced (a miracle in itself).
Tried to go to the gym this morning. It was cold. It was freezing. I drove over. the were SHUT. WTF??? Its my BIRTHDAY n they had to be shut? Just cuz it was the queens' birthdya long weekend? bastards.
I now have a Manly Sea Eagles jumper of my very own. suffer all of yers heh.
I have mentioned t oa couple of people that the gurls' brother gave her a car. How cool is that. N it isntsome ancient POS. Its a 10 year old ford wagon. Ok it isnt in perfect condition. It has some stone chips across the bonnet (hood to the yanks) n the odd lil scuffy mark here n there round the body (the bro used it as a work vehicle for a while) but i think most of it will actually polish out with no trouble. Its a nice shiny metallic burgundy colour. Has tinted windows, aircon, cruise control, power front windows, a pioneer CD/tuner n lots of speakers (who cares) and it is powered by a healthy as hell sounding 4 litre six. Went like a bird on the way home. We will need t oget it registered in NSW, its at dads' at the moment getting assessed for what will be needed so far that list is limited to a sump gasket (mebbe), front discs, bonnet and rear hatch struts (they are so gone there will be photos of them under 'gone' in the dictionary). We will also need to do shocks at some point but the bro kindly has already bought all 4 shocks n gave them to us when we got the car. Not shit monroe wiley either - decent quality KYB shocks. It will need michelins at some point too but i think I will be able to pick up a set of them cheap at a swapmeet as the tyre size 205/65/15, is a real common size on Australian made vehicles. If I cant find micheys I should be able to get higher grade goodyears or *spit* dunlops bloody cheap at a swap. As I dont intend to drive the thing like a racecar absolute grip doesnt matter so much as longevity (it isnt my peugeot after all which gets michelins as a sort of droit de birth).
So I had a 36 hour virus which I hope NONE of you get. 12 hours talking to Hughey n shitting through a ring of fire (which unfortunately for me) took place from about 8pm one night so i got NO sleep at all, so besides being dehydrated and weak from no food and achey n miserable as hell from the bug i was also bone weary. Sucked big time to be me fer a while LOL. Glad I didnt have a stone at the same time ida been looking for someoen to shoot me.
Some goon (I suspect the guy who repaired my senior Michelin down in melbourne - it had a slow leak... hey this is an XVS which has 'made in West Germany' stamped inot it so it was made ssomething like 15 years ago n has NEVER been on the road until i got it) put something like 38PSI in each of my michelins at some point in the past 2 weeks. I was feeling so crap for most of it I hardly noticed it except when in the ford as it seemed to ride better than the peugeot (pfft i know i know what a fuggin JOKE that is well I'm serious). I finally checked them all with MY own pressure gauge when I was finally able to see straight n stand up then bend down without falling over n promptly returned them to the pressures god, M. Michelin et M Peugeot decreed apt for a peugeot 505 - 26PIS front, 28PSI rear for town driving (raise to 28/30 for extended open road which I had done to go to melbourne) ahhhhhh thats better. NOW it is supple as a 16yo virgins .... nm ahem...
err is that the time??>>
God Im glad to be home!
Though I wwill miss the gurls' 2nd nephew n niece who both seemed to find me intriguing for some reason.
The niece is 2 (ish) n apparently totally ignores her 2 uncles n most of whats happening. She decided to put a quilt over her head n started walking round going 'Raraaarrrrrrrrr ' with her lil hands out the sides like a monster. I said 'oh no its the quilt monster its coming to get me.....when it gets past the armchair, lounge AND coffee table!!!' (she couldnt see a damned thing under it n kept bumping into stuff). She started giggling n fell over. It was a riot. Then when we had to go to the shops she attached herself to my leg n said 'noooooo don't gooooooooo!' n i was all awwwwwwwwwwww isnt she cute.
the boy is 4 nwas a real little monster when he was a toddler. Turned out ok though. He has a mischievous grin n impish sense of humour i reckon. Boistrous without being a pain in the butt. We took them to Donut King one day (truly expected it to be a nightmare) n they were extra well behaved.
Never did get to see any squash played. Was too tired or, when I had the kidney stone, too doped on codeine. Did go see where Geoff Hunts' Squash Centre is though (about 3 minutes down the street from where the gurls' dad works). Didnt go in - had no time as such but I know where it is now eh.
Bought another Grays squash racket while I was down there for the princely sum of $5. N yes it is a modern one. Weird. Its an ok one too. Not shit. Also found the final racket I needed to make my old racket collection complete (for me)
also scored a fine pair of squash shoes which actually fit me properly.
Some numbskull shop assistant told me i took US size 12 so thats what Ive been buying my shoes at the last couple of years. Turns out Im size 10.5. Which problem has been causing much slowness on court (try short sprints n then stop n turn n accelerate the other way with shoes on that are too big youll see - but you wouldnt if you dont put the right sized shoes on) and unco-ness running on the treadmill. To the point where I actually PREFERED my ancient (well.. 5 year old) battered, laceless, heelstrapless (they both broke) old Nike air huaraches to the newer ones I bought about 18 months ago (where I was told I was a size 12) why? cuz they ACTUALLY fit properly! So I am going to have to save some money to buy a pair of crosstrainers that actually are a 10.5 so Im not crippling myself. Hell the new adidas shoes are good. Ive played in them once already n was heaps faster and better balanced (a miracle in itself).
Tried to go to the gym this morning. It was cold. It was freezing. I drove over. the were SHUT. WTF??? Its my BIRTHDAY n they had to be shut? Just cuz it was the queens' birthdya long weekend? bastards.
I now have a Manly Sea Eagles jumper of my very own. suffer all of yers heh.
I have mentioned t oa couple of people that the gurls' brother gave her a car. How cool is that. N it isntsome ancient POS. Its a 10 year old ford wagon. Ok it isnt in perfect condition. It has some stone chips across the bonnet (hood to the yanks) n the odd lil scuffy mark here n there round the body (the bro used it as a work vehicle for a while) but i think most of it will actually polish out with no trouble. Its a nice shiny metallic burgundy colour. Has tinted windows, aircon, cruise control, power front windows, a pioneer CD/tuner n lots of speakers (who cares) and it is powered by a healthy as hell sounding 4 litre six. Went like a bird on the way home. We will need t oget it registered in NSW, its at dads' at the moment getting assessed for what will be needed so far that list is limited to a sump gasket (mebbe), front discs, bonnet and rear hatch struts (they are so gone there will be photos of them under 'gone' in the dictionary). We will also need to do shocks at some point but the bro kindly has already bought all 4 shocks n gave them to us when we got the car. Not shit monroe wiley either - decent quality KYB shocks. It will need michelins at some point too but i think I will be able to pick up a set of them cheap at a swapmeet as the tyre size 205/65/15, is a real common size on Australian made vehicles. If I cant find micheys I should be able to get higher grade goodyears or *spit* dunlops bloody cheap at a swap. As I dont intend to drive the thing like a racecar absolute grip doesnt matter so much as longevity (it isnt my peugeot after all which gets michelins as a sort of droit de birth).
So I had a 36 hour virus which I hope NONE of you get. 12 hours talking to Hughey n shitting through a ring of fire (which unfortunately for me) took place from about 8pm one night so i got NO sleep at all, so besides being dehydrated and weak from no food and achey n miserable as hell from the bug i was also bone weary. Sucked big time to be me fer a while LOL. Glad I didnt have a stone at the same time ida been looking for someoen to shoot me.
Some goon (I suspect the guy who repaired my senior Michelin down in melbourne - it had a slow leak... hey this is an XVS which has 'made in West Germany' stamped inot it so it was made ssomething like 15 years ago n has NEVER been on the road until i got it) put something like 38PSI in each of my michelins at some point in the past 2 weeks. I was feeling so crap for most of it I hardly noticed it except when in the ford as it seemed to ride better than the peugeot (pfft i know i know what a fuggin JOKE that is well I'm serious). I finally checked them all with MY own pressure gauge when I was finally able to see straight n stand up then bend down without falling over n promptly returned them to the pressures god, M.

hey hey hi (No Im not fat Albert)
nah nah nah hows the rest of the song goooooooo (hey hey hi)
We went to a swapmeet on saturday. Shit n sticks it was cold on Saturday night. I gotta fill up my gas bottle n get a little heater attachment. I used to have one but it mysteriously vanished along with lots of my other stuff. I acquired a thermo-rest blow up matress (NOO rocky not a blow up doll I leave those to you - blonde with big tits if i remember correctly) which sorta kept the cold away from my underneath regions. But 2 jumpers, a quilt under me, a blanket AND a dooner over the top n I was still freezing my large buttoff. anyway we had an ok day on sunday (yesterday derr). Got rid of some more stuff we no longer need. Even sold a squash racket (dont die of shock now). Hell I even sold some books. Rocky just fainted you all know.
I take the girl down to Melbourne on wednesday to visit her parents for 2 weeks. She would normally fly down but there is apparently some stuff there which needs to come back here which the airlines wont take (bastards). So we drive down. I drive down in other words. Ima try to go watch some premier league squash (ahh bugger THATS what I was gonna look up online!!) while Im down there at the centre they used for the commonwealth games. Maybe
Anyway I hope everyone is well.

another day another something or other
had another session with the lad today.
He is improving steadily. Partly poslishing of technique n partly he is feeling a bit more into it now he is training with someone who doesnt tell him he is shit every 5 seconds. Doesnt help. he is lucky too in that hhis young lady is NOT a 'hunnido' ie 'hunni do this hunni do that hunni you never spend any time with me youre always off playing *insert spport here*' note tiger woods' game dropped off after he met that bird he is doing. His dad called her a hunnido straight out. The lad has found a keeper basically - she knows when he is on the squash court he isnt out getting shit faced with his smelly mates etc.
I go to the docs again tomorrow to get more codeine forte prescriptions (oh n asthma meds too) as my leg is still painful when the drugs wear off. Ive decided (lisa youll like this) to not play the two winter comps available but rather give the ole driveshaft a rest n just do some serious gym work strenghtening. Started my diet yesterday too. Again. Tired of being fat.Fat n slow. I wanna know , if Im slow its cuz Im slow not cuz I'm a fat git. Mostly though it is just TOO frustrating playing people I think fairly seriously I could beat if I wasnt carrying the equivalent of Catherine Zeta Jones on my back (if it was HER on my back the only thing Id be complaining about is why she isnt on my front with her legs wrapped..... never mind Ima save that mental pic fer later). That means everyone in this town btw. Shit I can run em hard as it is. grrrrr
Found out theres a bloke in my old home town with my name (which is a bit unusual after all) who is a traffic expert. Which I think is rather funny given I flog on about road safety sometimes here. Hell he was even involved in some stuff 2 doors up form where an exgf lived. I mean really my old stomping ground. Mebbe it is identity theft... nah.. though I did get in trouble about 15 years ago in a small town in northern NSW as there was a bloke by the same name who drove the exact same type little orange renault as I did. The number plate was only 1 digit different. The only way to tell em apart was his had roof racks. Guy was apparently a right prick too. We had heaps of trouble with the cops until i went into the copshop n told them in no uncertain terms i WASNT the guy they thought i was. Get it through yer skulls. Amazingly we didnt have any more trouble after that as they actually checked it out n issued a note pointing out that MY rego number was NOT the arsehole blokes' car but the innocent law abiding dudes'. Cops are ok if ya give em a chance mostly. Here anyway. Unless yer a habitual crim - then youve forfeited ya right to a fair go i reckon. Cop it sweet - yer a jerkoff anyway.
