It is just a big wankfest. Talking about profiles,success indicaters, blah, blah, blah. Good commentators actually watch the game and get a feeling for it that way.

Give me access to those stats and I could make a case that Zac Dawson is full back of the century, well maybe not. And we all know that 69% of stats are made up.

I thought only 83% of us knew that.

You would have loved the lizards that moved into our house once. They were called major skinks and were a foot to 18 inches long. Lived for a decade. Crapped everywhere but ate bugs. Which is great in the "sub" tropical summer. I saw one catch a mouse, or a bilby or something by the tail once. Then beat its head against the corner of the fridge to stun or kill it. It was funny/disconcerting. The lizard caught the mouse and was stuffed cos it couldn't let go of the tail to start eating the mouse without the mouse running away. It looked around, saw the corner of the fridge waddled over and beat the mouses head against the corner a couple of times then ate it.

Not bad for something with a brain the size of a walnut.

Ha ha you and me both Gasometer. Got a reminder at 6.30am, must have been a sight for our neighbours. Big white yeti wearing only boxer shorts in the pouring rain running to the nature strip, bin in tow, as the truck was just about to pull up.
Across the road. I guess I'll find out tonight whether ours had already been collected :thumbsdown:

Now the fun is hauling the bastards back into the backyard ... at least at my place.

Just got back from Perf after 5 days and down to Margaret River.

Every time I go there it reminds me of Adelaide.

The property prices from one suburb to another are complete bonkers. Make no sense. The positive to the place is the traffic. Having been there 5 times I'm still not sure if anybody lives there.

I'm needing to bring a cushion to work because the office chairs are a pain in the arse. Literally.

Oh, and ingrown hairs for the win. I thought it was hilarious when someone told me I had one. Now I'm one pain spasm away from throwing my monitor at the errand boy.

Woke up and did it in pissing rain.

Woof got to spend the day with access to the garage because of the torrential rain.

If that little campaigner has destroyed shit in there....



I am going to have to post again in here today. ...

I've got a colleague who came into the office a couple of weeks ago looking like he'd gone 10 rounds with Mike Tyson in his prime. The reason he looked that way was because he was running up his driveway at 6am dragging a wheelie bin in each hand and tripped on his PJ bottoms and face planted, briefly losing consciousness. He woke up covered in blood and garbage. Worst thing was, he missed the garbos. Now THAT hurts.

...and Woof managed to not wreck anything other than go on a path of self destruction and destroy its 4th hessian bed cover in 6 months.

Also destroyed its dog proof bean bag in January that left the backyard covered in thousands of polystyrene balls that 6 months on I am still finding.

Obviously hasn't heard the saying about shittin in one's nest....sleeping on the door mat tonight Woof...
