Boot camp is a little extreme to lose some weight, ain't it? Unless you're joining the army? :p

I'm getting into fitness now. Alternating bootcamp with pilates, running and core classes. I've got work and uni to manage now so I need any extra energy I can get.

And tbh, the way you're aching all over afterwards is so so satisfying.*

*Said in a completely non-dirty way.

Anyone want to proof-read and make suggestions for my w***er and pretentio- sorry, personal statement? I'm looking at you Malfan my english advisor or mr pb who did a good job with my narrative.

Luz, if nobody is willing then I'll look over it.
 
All G, I've had a few PMs :)

On another notehow does 'kissmerobbo' have 46 posts PER DAY? INSANE.
 
Fantastic :) Tbh, just get more and more teachers, etc to read/edit. Not selling anyone short here but there's a specific genre you're aiming for, and getting teachers to review your work is probably the best thing to do. People a few years out of practice can't pick things up like syntax, phrasing, fallacies, etc as easily. Just a bit of advice!

I have 3 gigs in the next 3 months, hoping to meet Crashdiet in October and get them to sign my Generation Wild CD and Swedish flag. :D

Anberlin :)

Alternative rock band, (They were sensational live)
 
I sense Malfan has a chance in the tipping comp. He's 9.29 behind the leader. Gold Coast are playing Hawthorn this week who have rested 8 players and rumoured to be resting a 9th. Gold Coast at 20.00 seems insane value for this game.

It's a bit of a Dilemma really.

There's a chance that every team in the hunt will be looking for those outside chances to get up and take them to number one. So maybe by playing it safe I'll go past them., but realistically I'm not going to take 1st place by tipping the favourites.

My strategy all year has been just to tip who I think will win unless I see some very good value with the odds, like GC vs Lions earlier in the season and the Swans last weekend.

You're right about the odds in the Hawks - GC game but I still strongly suspect the Hawks will get up and the 1 point from a Hawks win could be pretty valuable to me.

What to do? What to do?

Needless to say... I'm absolutely kicking myself for forgetting to submit my tips in round 6. I got 1 right that week.

You're too far from 3rd, the last prize winning spot, to get there by going conservative. You have to tip an upset, maybe not the GC-Haw game but one of the 6.87 ones to really have a go. I sense the players from 1st-8th will be conservative as they are all close enough to get there by playing it safe, and this is your opportunity to leapfrog them.

I was in a similar spot last year, I think I was about 6th going into the last round, went for the upsets - probably too many in hindsight - which didn't come off and I finished 11th. Finishing 6th or 11th made no difference to me but at least I had a shot at coming in the Top 3.

You're probably right.

At the moment I'm going for 3 outsiders though.... Gold Coast, Port and Richmond. So basically all the home teams.

I really just don't see Freo, Bris or Adel getting up.

Geelong is probably the other team with enough value and chance of winning to tip the scales.

CAS79 somewhat of a bitch girlfriend of two years loses her temper at one of her friends houses in Labrador. (Disclaimer possible CAS loses his back but of no consequence).

Cas GF leaves party in a huff and CAS, not knowing a sole in a shit town (Sorry FU) leaves, wanders the town until dawn, walks to hotel to find bags waiting at reception told we had checked out.

Cas goes home to Melbourne, never calls or gets called from said female ever again. CAS does not have facebook and mutual friends group disappears.

Friday September 2, Carlton Vicroads License office, Melbourne Australia.

Cas walks to counter 12 to renew his license and right behind the desk is ..... you guessed it..... And the quality of the customer service was excellent... apart from the insults and claims of owing her money..... her boss seemed less than amused and I never said a word, I decided not to pay with credit card but shit she has my address. She had to confirm it.

A psycho bitch non the less. What a strange day.

oh and Robbie she was born in Scotland is a Rangers supporter for what it's worth.

She would have been the only scottish person in there.
 
Meh, mine's been asked twice now.

WINNING.

I have a bit of a thing for the Holden Thunder advertisement. Something about the accent, voice, and arrogance of 'na na na na na' makes me want to take my clothes off...







The wardrobe hanger and out to the nearest Holden dealer, even though I am the biggest sucker for german cars.
