OK THEN
I start at State Transit on Tuesday.
Hip hoobloodyray
See that chain? The really really LONNNNG one? Thats State Transit recruitment thats dragging it.
First I have the job
then i dont
then i DONT have to get my authority b4 training, then i do then i dont fer fuck sake. Its 4:35pm on friday n the file had to be approved by 5pm or I couldnt start Tuesday... talk about brinkmanship. Wankers
Anyway on Wednesday I had to tell the nice lady at the Food Wholesaling company that i wasnt working for them as of Friday (today) They said no point coming in tomorrow then so Ive had thursday n today off. Ida looked a RIGHT twat if I hadnt got the bus job after that (I was TOLD I had it when i quit but it turns out i didnt , not quite) The ppl at the food place acted like Id planned it to get yelled at for 2 weeks for crappy pay and no sleep.
Oh right
I started driving a delivery van for a food wholesalers monday 2 weeks ago. Pissweak pay, shitty starting times up at 3am each morning at work by 430 eep... Hated loading the damn things too. Liked the driving about here n there. Found out i think i will actually enjoy the bus driving as its basically the same cept there will be cute chicks getting on n off every now n then AND I shall know where I am actually going once i learn the routes.
Im actually looking forward to it I shall be earning more money than Ive EVER been paid and thats just the basic wage situation. There are ppl at the depot I shall be at earning over 90K pa... I will FAINT if i ever get one of THOSE pay packets.. $1500ish IN THE HAND after tax per week... wont know what to do , wont be anywhere near that for the first lil while though. Hell if i work saturday n sunday its more money than a WEEK with OT at the food place, thats not counting the rest of the week LOL
Ima buy a real nice car when Ive saved up some money. Maybe an overseas trip or 3
maybe a real expensive escort...
yeah
heh
kidding
or
am i?

good day today
My batphone rang so much today it died.
I had the bus company call to give me a time to be at the depot they want me to work from tomorrow. Apparently I am going to meet the depot manager! No real idea what it is about except that Ivwe apparently gotten through the medical. So thats progressing. Wasnt happy with the pissing about though.
Got a call from Woolworths recruitment. Id applied for a night stackers job with them. Well hell today was the last day I got my pension so in 2 weeks i would be broke. As it is ive paid the rent for a fortnight.So i have an appointment for that tomorrow.
HOWEVER
yesterday I applied for a job as a delivery driver at a place about 30 minutes from here. They rang within an hour of me emailing my resume! I had the interview yesterday arvo. They rang this arvo n said when can you start! So I have a job starting monday.
Money isnt as good as the buses, but i think the petrol bill will be far lower, so, swings n roundabouts.
The way I see it the worst can happen is im there for a month until the bus job comes through. Even if i HATE it i can do it for a month.
Still no news from the Rail cop job. Though i finally got through to someone at their recruiting. I didnt pass the role playing section, but only JUST missed out. So apparently I can apply to resit the role play and they will tell me where i missed out. So thats all good IF it actually ever comes through. The girl I spoke to thought i was perfect for the position based on what was on her PC when she was looking me up. Which was nice.
The gym has been fun. I have fixed my backhand after reviewing my Geof Hunt on Squash tape. I have even improved my forehand striking. I did a boxercise class on tuesday that was well fun eh. Tiring though HEH. Im not losing loads of weight but I feel much better and Im starting to slim down some. Ive noticed b4 that when i do weights i tend to bulk up fairly fast in my shoulders n arms even on light weights. So I tend to add muscle which is heavy. So im not that worried about only dropping 4 kilos at this point.
Blood pressure is coming down slowly from its peak 160/110 when Becky died. Weird feeling that. You can hear your pulse ALL the time n feel rather heavy in the head. Its a weird feeling. BOM BOM BOM all flushed n hot all the time. Feel pretty good now. Looking forward to getting off the medication.
anyway
thats all from me.

Welcome to kiwi dan
ANOTHER reader!!!
Ok well
Havent heard a DAMNEDthing about the TRansit Officers position yet. Pissed off. Ive left msgs for them to ring me but pfft 2 whole working days and nothing.
Ive had a medical for the bus driving position AND the practical test in the bus which I passed. So its slow but it is progressing.
Feeling pretty crap lately inside.
Feeling great physically as Ive been going to the gym very regularly. Losong weight n getting fit. My squash shots are nearly back to where they were in Bathurst too.

me agin
its what... monday May 7th? yeah
I had a job interview in sydney on saturday with State Rail. Position of transit officer. Went pretty good , got through the first 2 stages. 3rd stage was role play which i THINK i went well at. Next IF I got through is a one on one interview and a medical. the pay is excellent and it sounds like a very satisfying position.
I have heard NOTHING from State TRansit about the bus driving position. One wonders if they were fucking with us. I went into that interview looking forward to working there n came out not sure I wanted the job. Contrast: went in to the rail interview uncertain i wanted it n came out hoping I get through.
I joined the local university gym last week. It has 2 squash courts which are free to use for members. also all the fitness classes etc. Basically I am now in the same position I was in at Bathurst except I dont have to shuttle between one n the other. N Bec still was alive.
I guess its fair to say Im sleeping better now than i was.
Coping ok. Still pretending a LOT though.
2 months seems like 2 days.
We have moved the house around a bit (I mean inside etc derr)
Turned Becs room into a change/ironing room. Moved the bed into what was the junk room n is now my bedroom. Left the spare room (my old room) pretty much as it was cept turned the bed around to face the door n turned the mattress. Bit of this n a bit of that. There was a small table out in the sun room Bec had her sewing machine on. It is now in the lounge doing duty for my laptop. AND the tablecloth on it is covering up the mass of ugly wires n cables next to the TV cabinet. Moved a few paintings and suchlike about too. Made it MY place. It was very much Becs place b4. Which is fair enough but it was doing my head in big time.
My mate HEath from Bathurst had a week vacation time n came down to stay last week.
We had a good time playing golf n squash. He had a hole in one the lucky bast. NEVER even seen one b4. We went to a couple of pubs here n there. Listened to some bands. Bloke stuff. You wouldnt understand. Went n looked at cars. havent done that in ages. just wandered about looking in caryards.
I realised not long ago Ive never actually lived alone b4. I either lived at college (mass people), with my exwife, at my parents or with Bec. This is a bit of a change. I'm confused. Lonely. but free to do what i want. I can go to the toilet with the DOOR OPEN (unless ppl are visiting) I dont have to FOLD my laundry unless mum is coming by. I can sneak the dogs in once in a while fer a treat. Doesnt kill the loneliness though. I miss her so much.
I wish i had a few more (even ONE would be nice) female friends to talk to. Not 'show me ya tits' talk. oh well.
bored you all enough
one last thing
played squash 3 times last week. Been to the gym thrice fer a hit this week meself. Went to the nets yesterday arvo. Hitting a cricket ball with an authority I have NOT been able to muster all SUMMER. Seems I NEED to be hitting a squash ball fer my hand eye coordination. JUST practicing cricket doesnt do it. My feet work better, I swing the bat with more power AND control. Was hitting scoring shots off balls that would easily have gotten me out 3 weeks ago. AND with my heavier County bat which Ive struggled with all season Even after lightening it by grinding some of the back out. And i painted a red stripe on the back - anyone ever steals it they are in fer trouble its VERY distinctive lol. Feels like a much lighter bat now. Figures though. Too late to save our season eh. *I* find form 2 weeks after the season finishes! If ida taken this course 2 weeks b4 the semis we may have won - Paul n I would certainly have been able to bat out the day the way Ive been hitting it. As it was I was dejected n demoralised. I think I have a mental issue - I find it EASY to see a squash ball doing 150mph but hard to see a cricket ball doing mebbe 80. Then when Im back playing squash the cricket ball suddenly looks real big n REAL slow.
I also put a lil kick in to my delivery stride when bowling. Suddenly I have much better accuracy AND the ball is actually SPINNING! I cant believe doing a lil kick out with my front leg as I deliver the ball could make such a difference!
anyway. I should go do breakfast n meds.

What day is it?
Its thursday
had the interview with state transit on tuesday
weird way of interviewing people. No idea how i went. wont know for another week or so.
Feeling pretty low today.
Was almost happy we got knocked out of the semi finals at cricket. LBW for 3 :/
pathetic. we got rolled for 75 chasing 186. REAL competitive. Well good luck to Glossodia eh. Getting knocked out means i dont have to fake being upbeat n cheerful next week in the finals.
Brought mocha n zena home yesterday. Both went looking for Bec :/ They seem to be getting along better. Poor zena she loves grumpy lil mocha but mocha is terrified of her. Which shows by her growling n snapping at zena.
feeling very sad...

Its me
Having a go at staying at home tonight.
Dunno how I will go really.
Ive applied for a position as a bus driver (trainee) with the State Transit Authority.
fingers crossed there then.
Beckys' lil dog (I guess my lil dog now) is still a little puzzled where mummy is. Every now n then she wanders over to the door at mums' n gazes out.
In compleatly who cares news Im 10 not out over night in our match against Riverstone. Opened the batting.
I went n got contact lenses from an old friend who is derr an optometrist. Cost less than half what I was quoted where I got my glasses. Theyre 14 use throwawys. Cant believe how much more comfortable they are than when I had contacts b4 (I mean 15 years ago). I love not having to wear glasses. I love being able to wear sunglasses. I love that my face is healing where the glasses were rubbing on my face. I can see my nose again!!
I cleaned my car the other day. It looks all shiney n is nice n clean inside etc.
We go down to Beckys' grave on the 15th as it is her birthday :( I am gonna go have a swim there opposite the cemetery
Hope everyone is ok out there.

Life Sucks then you etc etc
So the couple of people who read this garbage know that Becky died on February 6th.
We had her funeral on 12 Feb. Thus ended the worst 2 weeks of my life to date. Becky didnt deserve this. She didnt deserve to be so sick as she was. She didnt do anything to cause her illnesses. She didnt take drugs. She didnt drink. She gave up smoking a couple of years ago.
Becky fought to stay somewhat functional the entire time I knew her. She hated it when her trouble defeated her. Sometimes it got too much for her however. She then took a little break in the shape of a nap.
Having trouble worrying about anything else. Reading back through the blog and find really who gives a shit about any of it.
Might not be back for a while.

2 cricket matches in one weekend
Played Schofields on Saturday without our best bowler AND batsman (same hyper talented 16yo) and without our regular wicketkeeper. Won a pretty close one day game.
Was good. I took a wicket, ended up 1/6 off 2 overs. Happy. Didnt bat real well (again) I seem to be having a real problem with hitting the ball this season.
We had a social match with 5th grade on Monday.
Lost
It was a social game when they wanted it to be a social game n turned serious whenever it looked like WE were getting in front. Hard to take being critisised by a 16yo batsman for my bowling ESPECIALLY when I had him dropped on Nought 2nd ball then missed being out stumped 4th ball (AFTER getting their captain out 1st ball. Big sus when the guy who dropped the catch is a mate of his too. Never mind.
In OUR team we rein our punk teenagers in , keep em on a short leash.
Bah
Mums' golden Labrador is staying with us for a week much to the delight of MY golden labrador. They get on like a house on fire. All one hears is the two of them raging up n down the side of the house and around the back yard.
I now have that alloy wheel for my Peugeot racer set up with the spear of the quick release from the steel wheel off the bike. Now all i gotta do is put the tyre n tube over. Which I willll get to stop hassling me ok! I havent been for much of a ride anywhere lately, Im a social rider n frankly its been too fucking hot for my liking - in this sort of heat when I start running or riding my asthma kicks in hard. THough i guess its not really asthma as the ventolin doesnt help its what my cardiologist in Bathurst reckons is a valve in my airway not being able to opneeither enough or fast enough to flow the air i need. Basically a phyical limitation. Like having too small a carby on a car. Last time i had issues with it I was training at the gym in Bathurst n getting pains in my chest n shortness of breath. Did the whole exercise stress test thing n theres nothing wrong with my ticker or my lung capacity - I just cannot physically FLOW enough air to fill the demand. So I ride when it isnt too hot or too cold. screw it I enjoy it why make it painful? Squadh n cricket is fer pain.
On a happier note I have lost 5of the annoying kilos I put on since moving down here last year. I have lost about 14cm round the chest too. When i get to 115kg I shall have reacquired equilibrium. Then i can start on getting under 110. And so on. The lowest Ive been since I got over my lower back injury/broken ankle/buggered knee has been 103kg which would be nice to get to again.
I DID do that with some chemical inducement however its true. Good old duromine (legal speed eh)and playing squash every day fer atleast 2 hours plus jogging round the block every night ,late, when noone could see fatboy run run fatboy run.
So fingers crossed. My goal is under 100kg. Then I shall be seeing some light at the end of a tunnel.
anyhoo
noone else is writitng their blogs lately so why should I?

hello world Im Mr Ed
Sometimes I feel like a talking horse. Everyone is amused but noone really listens or gives a fuck what you say.
Got accused of being a 'parent spectator' n turning someones blog into a shouting match (see *I* can misquote shit ppl say as well as anyone, except i generally choose not to). Heres the tip:
If you DONT want it commented on DONT put it on your blog! You poor folk who read mine can comment freely on anything said here whether you agree or disagree. If I dont like it but it makes sense Ima suck it up. N DONT fucking misquote me or adulterate what I say THEN have the NERVE to have a go at me for what YOU say I said which ISNT what i ACTUALLY said! Got it Leilani? The fact YOU commented is what turned it into a tennis match.Here it is... I couldnt give a shit about the 2nd n 3rd ppl involved in that sordid little triangle. I was only concerned for the welbeing of the person who's blog it is on the principle 'help your friends fuck your enemies' enemies losely stretched to include anyone *I* dont know. I could care less about the mental health of the 2 blokes involved. Dont know them dont care a shit. Worry about the gal whos blog it is however. So suck on that.
Cricket was called off this past weekend. PFFT
rain? that wasnt rain. That was some water falling from the sky in a generally downward direction. What was worse no hotties of ANY age group wandering about in 2/10 of fuck all cuz of the afforementioned water.
We have a grudge match with Bligh Park 5th grade on Monday (public holiday for Australia Day) hope we ahem heheh flog them like a rented mule (thanks Iron Mike that expression totally rocks).

sucked in Rivo
Talk about a revenge slaying!!
Rivo gold beat the snot out of our sadly depleted team last time we played them (8 versus 11).
As our american cousins say 'payback is a motherfucker'
i would say that indeed payback IS a motherfucker.
We flogged them yesterday.
Made them field for 3 hours in 35 degree heat while most of our side rested in the shade, also took advantage of the freshly mown grass (to the editors of the Sydney Morning Herald.. grass is freshly MOWN not mowed... the grass is mown, I MOWED the grass... do they even go to SCHOOL anymore b4 being given jobs at newspapers? SRW english does not appear to apply).
In essence we got full value for strokes played as the grass was short. Made them run about in the heat. When THEY batted the grass was longer n the ball stopped faster which meant shots we got 4 for they got 1 or 2 if they were lucky.
AND theyd been out in the heat of the day whereas we fielded in the heart of a nice southerly cool change which hit as we were taking the field. This didnt help their batsmen as much as it might have as they were already suffering dehydration n a touch of heat stroke. So fuck em. I looked their captain fair in the eye n said 'not as easy to beat us when we have ELEVEN on the field is it??'
Arseholes.
Next week we play the other Riverstone side which we beat outright in round 1. Id like to beat them outright again.

Made them field for 3 hours in 35 degree heat while most of our side rested in the shade, also took advantage of the freshly mown grass (to the editors of the Sydney Morning Herald.. grass is freshly MOWN not mowed... the grass is mown, I MOWED the grass... do they even go to SCHOOL anymore b4 being given jobs at newspapers? SRW english does not appear to apply).
In essence we got full value for strokes played as the grass was short. Made them run about in the heat. When THEY batted the grass was longer n the ball stopped faster which meant shots we got 4 for they got 1 or 2 if they were lucky.
AND theyd been out in the heat of the day whereas we fielded in the heart of a nice southerly cool change which hit as we were taking the field. This didnt help their batsmen as much as it might have as they were already suffering dehydration n a touch of heat stroke. So fuck em. I looked their captain fair in the eye n said 'not as easy to beat us when we have ELEVEN on the field is it??'
Arseholes.
Next week we play the other Riverstone side which we beat outright in round 1. Id like to beat them outright again.

Real Cricket
Theres a whole world of curfuffle going on right now about 'racial' sledging.
I reckon if you get paid to do something you LOVE you should take it on the chin.
They wanna pay me all that money to play cricket they can call me what the hell they like when they like. I couldnt GIVE A FUCK. Every time someone sledges me when I play cricket I mentally tick the 'I'm beating these pricks' box. Cuz sledging generally occurs when they cant think of another way to defeat you.
If someone gave me a drive in the WRC the other drivers could badmouth me all they liked. Couldnt care less. When I play squash I dont care a jot if the other player is carrying on - it ALWAYS means youre winning. The ONLY time I care what theyre saying is if they think Ive broken the rules (IE cheated intentionally). The only time I kick up a fuss is if rules are being broken (double bounces being my most fave peeve playing squash fucking COUNT the bounces unpire its that simple!) Otherwise I care not if the other guy is whinging about something. Means I am winning.
Youre all grown men. GET OVER IT. How would these babies go if they were in the Army n sent to Iraq? How would they carry on getting SHOT at? Call it not fair? Stiff shit.
I know Australia has a rep for sledging which I for one am not that proud of. However EVERY other test side on the planet does it. It is STILL sledging, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka when you say it in your own language. south Africa, just cuz you abuse someone in afrikaans doesnt mysteriously render it not 'sledging' fuckign whingers. Admit it
the REAL reason youre all peeved is cuz you CANT WIN. Whinge about our umpires being biased (Subcontinent take a look at your OWN backyard at least our umpires dont get DEATH threats), so we now have international umpires. Result? STILL whinge about umpiring. NEver when it hurts the Australian side. Always when youre on the end of a rough call.
Here is a tip.
TRY umpiring a game yourself. Try it at Bligh Park 7th grade if you want. Come on see how fucking well YOU do at it. It isnt easy. I reckon I am a pretty good umpire (know the important rules AND a few obscure ones) n have a good look b4 deciding. I reckon my team is the ONLY one in 7th that gives LBW decisions regularly. some others give them when to NOT would involve charges of cheating. But otherwise they are few n far between. It simply is NOT as easy as it looks.
Having said all that
Ponting MUST go. He is a spoilt spoonfed prat. I blame Steve Waughs' influence.
Ponting is unimaginative as a captain. He carries on like a child when something goes against him. He sets a bad example for the other players in the side. I fear Michael Clark will follow his example. Make Mike Hussey captain now. The bloke is respectful and knowledgeable.
bah
sucking the life out of a wonderful game they are.
I think I shall have to take up squash again.

I frnakly cant believe they DIDNT launch it with a cricket game
the baseball game is POX ridden.
The boxing game is fun plus though.
tennis was ok
they should do a Wii game fer squash too. Itd be awesome.

bloody melbourne mkII
How hot does ti get here??!!?? Hottest day von record here on New years day by 0.1 degree celsius (all degrees hereon are celsius - we went metric 30 years ago- catch up america). No doubt the 'global warming drones will be beating us over the head wit h that... refusing to accept that the previous record was set in 1900!! Suffer in ya jocks ya basts. Credible proof folks CREDIBLE. Not NOT NOT vested interest groups flogging their own agendas.
Like ya cats name mike! LOL eh rockape its Scipio Africattus. One after our own eh... I had a big healthy fern at uni called Leonidas. had 2 dogs perseos n Kerberos. I stick with charlie n bill etc now. The cat is Rory (after Rory Calhoun cuz when he was a kitten he did that standing up thing... ok ok its a Simpsons ref... )
going home to NSW tomorrow. Thank
god
They are the worst drivers in Australia down here. Ive driven in Queensland. Ive driven in The Australian Capital Territory. Ive driven in South Australia. Ive driven in the Northern Territory. Ive driven in fuggin CALIFORNIA. Ive driven in Fiji. NOWHERE was it worse than Victoria. Hell the mad bastards in Singapore n Malaya are better disciplined than here. I know I didnt drive while there i caught taxis... but I have eyes n DO observe.
I hate driving here. I hate being a passenger here. Everyone is just so bloody hostile n angry when they drive down here. They check their brains at the damn door when they pick up the keys to their cars. They should be ashamed of themselves.
On a brighter note the hot weather saw a marked upswing in the amount of female flesh on display. niiice.

Bloody Melbourne
Does it ever NOT rain in Melbourne when I come down here??@@???
It rained all the trip down. I had to stop at Tarrcutta to add water to the radiator top bottle. 3 hours later it was cool enough to add coolant. Pissing down rain... middle of the night... not happy jan.
Christmas is tomorrow. Yay. that means ONE more sleep til the Boxing Day Test Match Australia versus India. I think I look forward to India touring more than England as I get to see VVS Laxmann, rahul Dravid and the little Master himself Sachin Tendulkar batting. Not to mention anil Kumble bowling. Pity they dont have much in the way of fast bowlers. This is the team that flogged Australia in umm 02ish after being forced to follow on. They batted n batted n batted then rolled us in our 3nd innings. Wonderful stuff. they are a wonderful side on paper. It is truly unfortunate that they do not tour very well.
Anyone out there feeling very generous?

feel free to buy n ship to mongoose!!! It would look lovely in my collection along side my $40 peugeot racer. This is a much nicer bike than my current mount.
I'm currently on a Toshiba Portege with a free wireless connexion woohoo free!!
The gurls' dad owns the puter. Ive no idea who owns the internet connexion. Its abit faster than dialup eh... 24MBS up to 50MBS smoking!
Thinking about joining a gym instead of getting broadband. I think the benefits will outweigh broadband. IE getting fit again as I was b4 we left Bathurst. I am getting tired of collapsing after running 17 singles at cricket. Pathetic. Didnt struggle like that last year. Too fat too.

ave all Friends Cunts n Romanymen
To the enquriing mind who asked (AKA I ron Mike)
My main area of interest in the ancient historical world is Bronze age Greece.
I am also tres interestant in Rome under the principate and the later Roman empire.
Mildly interested in anything spartan, especially if Dr Bettany Hughes is showing it on TV. If I'd had her as a lecturer Id still be at uni. *drool* Unfortunately due to an old head injury I have trouble holding specific factoids in my head for more than a week or so :/ so unless I saw it/heard of it/read about it prior to 1989 unless Ive seen/heard/read it a dozen times over n over it just wont stay n my brain. makes it hard to have an intelligent conversation when I KNOW i know what youre talking about n why your are so wrong your arse is speaking but xometimes the ole brain wont fire up right.
I am also fairly firmly on the Milford Walpoff side of the prehistory fence, finding the genetic evidence frankly too ambiguous for the claims made for it at this time. Nice bloke too Prof Walpoff. Drop him a line, he will answer if your question is posed at all logically and is understandable (IF youre interested). Ive had a nice correspondence with him over the years (very occawionally). Unreal that you can email one of the top 4 palaeo anthropologists in the world n get not just an answer , but an answer from HIM not some minion! Couldnt imagine emailing Donald Johanson.
Saw Dr Hughes latest (i think) on Helen of Troy yesterday. I notice my old ancient history prof , Professor Trevor Bryce, was a consultant on it. Niiiice as Borat would say. Wonder if rockapus stupidus is reading this... oh i forgot rocky.. blonde hair big tits... no sexy brunettes for you eh.
Well Bligh Park 7th took another outstanding win on Saturday. I opened n chipped in with a hard earnt 17 before getting out attempting to hit a pull shot into the next post code. Played onto my stumps n staggered off into the shade. It were vera hot Saturday. Not unhappy as I had decided it was time to accelerate the scoring some n if i got out the young bloke in next is a BIG hitter, in fact made 48ish (ie it was more than 40 n less than 50 but i cant remember exactly what) off not very many which knocked the stuffing out of the other side. Then we dried their runs up when it was their turn. Gave em nothing. Ended up running through them n bowled them out pretty cheap. I took my first ever catch at first slip. Dropped my prolly 3rd ever at first slip not long after. It WAS a full cut shot through a vacant 3rd slip area so I had no business even GETTING my right hand onto it (Im left handed), so I ended up stopping what was a certain boundary. Hurt some too.
I think I shall abandon the idea of broadband and instead join a gym down here as I desperately need to reclaim some fitness. The one at the local uni also has 2 squash courts for the use of members. As I have been getting tres antsy about needing to hit a ball about this may be a good option as the cost of 2 x 1 hour training session at the local squash centre will pay for a MONTHS membership at the uni gym. hence free squash practice. Niiice (see above lol).
Discovered that Mercedes Benzes are a bit more complex than my Peugeot. What would have been a 10 minute job on my 505 turned into an unsuccessful 2 hour piss about on my mates' ML . Then we couldnt fix it - couldnt even get started on fixing it which bit arse. Oh well. I thiiink any electric motor from any late model MB will fit it so getting a part from a breaker shouldnt present any trouble. Getting it in without a chisel and a gas axe will be the interesting thing. Wont be me btw lol. Dad expressed his desire not to have anything to do with it either.

Reality Clap the new show featuring Kevin 'Ima smug git' Rudd
This blog has NOTHING to do with the topic I just loved the 'reality clap' I came up with as an expression SO much I felt it should be in a topic hah.
Cricket yesterday
what a triumph!
we won even though we fielded like disinterested cows. the bowlers probably won it as they restricted the enemy to bugger all runs in the 2nd half of their batting inning. As ever MikroBocks Capoffnic contributed a fighting nought not out down the batting order.happy?
I think Ive finally got my batting sorted as i was happy with how i struck the ball for 25. Got out chasing quick runs at the death with a runner as Id hurt my ankle.
Ive bowed to the inevitable n moved my hands back together on the handle n immediately felt I as hitting the ball cleaner (yeah yeah you were right tape worm).
Swapped the increasingly faithless Peugeot for the younger n happily more running Ford Futura wagon today. Had to empty it of all the swapmeet shite wot had been in it from the Bendigo swap. Took about an hour to empty (no i was NOT working my guts out n it was STILL hot n sweaty ) then I went down to the carwash n washed n vacced it. The car nearly fainted from shock. Its not as nice to drive comfortwise but shit 4 litres n 6 cylinders goes better than 2 litres n 4 cylinders lol.
Now Ive had some codeine n Im feeling a nicely toasted feeling.

A funny thing happened on the way to the ...
I was supposed to sit out at cricket this week
Didnt did I?
12th man strikes again. I umpired for 27 overs and then fielded for our inning in the field.
Oh yeah
it was raining when we started and until about 4 hours into the game heh. We were the only game played in the Hawkesbury district on Saturday as the light was fine and the rain wasnt exactly THAT heavy after all. The only thing not having a good time was the ball. Poor thing... soaked it were. When it gets wet it gets greasy and feels like a cake of soap when you try to catch it. Holding it is hard so that bowling is a lottery.
Welcome to Iron Mike an actual NEW reader *faint*.
Glad to hear you survuved Iraq n got home mate n good luck to your young fella in his basketball season. That takes to 3 the number of ppl who visit this lil corner of the innernet.
Been looking into broadband ADSL lately. Cant really afford it but its shitting me how bad this dialup has become. Either that or Ive gotten less patient with the performance lately. Bit of both mebbe. My service provider WONT give me any sort of consideration for being a loyal 8 year subscriber (I asked n NO there is noone else who has subscribed for that long there), so I shall likely take my business elsewhere.
Having said that it seems to me that Telstra, as the national carrier, SHOULD be both the cheapest AND have the best selection of plans available. Now Im no commy pinky shitwit, but if you are going to have a government owned national carrier (ok ok even IF it is patially privatley owned) then that organisation should NOT be putting profit before service. Far as Im concerned its the private telcos' problem to be competitive with Telstra NOT the other way round. Telstra should offer the best service in terms of performance AND variety n flexiblity of plans AND the absolute cheapest rate going for that service. When its mostly governemtn run it simply ISNT about making a profit gentlemen... its about looking after Joe citizen (which at its very heart is EXACTLY what governments' role is - not existence for its own blinkered sake).
Telstra should be like the public health service - subsidised to hell. N so what if that internet service isnt QUITE as stable or blindingly fast as the privateys? IF you want THAT pay the extra for the higher standard. Not go hunting for cheaper than telstra cuz EVERYONE is cheaper than telstra with their actual plans anyone would wanna use. Cheaper and fuller featured.
So we have a new federal government led by K Rudd. The next 4 years will be interesting. Then things will hopefully get back to normal. All thos eidiots out there who voted on the 'oh he is cuter' or the 'Im a young first time voter and as we all know we have our heads mostly jammed up our arses n believe ANYTHING the socialists tell us cuz they wouldnt lie would they?' will get a dose of what I call the Reality Clap. Theyll perhaps find out what a 'strike' is . Yes Johnny its something unions do to extort the rest of the country.

Im tired

More from the guy noone ever reads
I have a new(ish) desktop. P4 2gig, 20mb hdd (ive not yet filled my old 10gig so its plenty). Its got a nice small footprint n blows my old 700 celeron away speed wise as youd expect. Best of all it was free! The gurls' brother had no further use for it n was gonna throw it out. All I had to do was install my DVD drive into the gaping hole in the front n voila. New puter. I have to fiddle with the general settings etc.
We got hosed at cricket on saturday... did a good job bowling n fielding to restrict the enemy to 97. We fielded absolutely fantastically. Vastly improved. We batted like well... hmmm how to put it... 'poorly' just doesnt seem strong enough. Craptacular it were. Top score was 9 n no I didnt get it. I scored a nice round number me. 5th ball duck. Yay. we got flogged the week b4 too but i cant be blamed for that as I was in melbourne.
Got nearly all my Xmas shopping done tooo. Gotta get dad something n the gurl something extra n my sister. Then its done.
