kids came to watch me play supers last week infront of like 100 people - they were looking at me all day with this strange unfamiliar look - think it was a mix of awe and pride - they were high fiving me on the way up the race and what not - it was like i had a superman cape on or something

then on Sat night, watching the ess v ade game on telly, boy goes.. when are you playing this team dad, can i come wach again?

Evidently he thought i was playing the real thing - maybe the 4 year old brain cant differentialte between the tv crowd and what he was standing in?

ill take it.

Still the second result that comes up:

I've lasted seven days with this facial hair growth, but can't cop it anymore. Itchy as all get out.

Off to shave.

I thought I was over the hump but this is just unbearable.

NOOOO!! You have to push through that. In two more days at least it'll be gone and you won't even notice.

I used to have such problems and thought the day would never come.

Don't listen to these guys who say push through it'll get better, it won't!

You need one key ingredient to progress...

You need the skin of the aged man, weather beaten , conditioned leather face skin which scoffs at facial hair pain and continues on its way.

Barry Cassidy's skin, an undulating landscape of peaks and troughs, valleys and gourges, but all weather conditioned and resistant to such things as pesky beard pain.

Howard moons skin agrees.

Supple young man's skin is no match for bristles.

Is this the nice way of saying "the Mrs ****ing hates it so if I say it's too itchy I'll save face"?

Quite the opposite. She wanted me to keep it!

You look like you're about 15 years of age without a beard you might as well try to keep it.

Well I had a chat with my neighbour last night and she was all cool with me putting rubbish in her bins just like I thought. She told the bloke across the road had come over the night before and told her I was throwing her stuff out on the nature strip so he threw mine on the nature strip. I'm not what part of that made sense to him but he may have a screw loose.
Anyway she told him that she welcomes my rubbish and that she knows she can put hers in mine whenever she needs. It's our agreement and it's no one else's business. Apparently he's okay with that now. Old dickhead.

Ok, seriously, first world fml problem here.

A month ago the Doug Anthony All-Stars announced they were playing a live show in Ballarat (first time ever), so being the mad D.A.A.S fan from waaay back I got permission from the boss and bought two tickets. Was so excited my squeals were girl like once I hit 'PAY' on the ticketing website! Seriously as a kid I idolised these guys, bought their albums, saw their shows, t-shirts, got them signed, taped the TV shows etc. Mad fanboy!

Then yesterday my Mother sends my brothers, associated wives and I an e-mail advising us that she has booked a group stay down at Queenscliff BIG 4 Holiday Park for that same weekend as part of her 70th birthday celebration for all our families. It's a great caravan park that the kids will love and it's the only thing she's asked for as her birthday present.....(sigh).

So.........who wants 2 tickets covered in Runk tears to see the D.A.A.S on June 23rd in Ballarat?

Man, you should have done RMIT's screenwriting course in the late '00s. Ferguson was my TV comedy teacher. Absolutely brilliant, one of the best teachers I ever had.

Oh no way....that would've been magical. How did I not know about this???

So if you're ever on your way to work on a freezing morning like today, and you're still feeling very much half asleep and need a bit of a jolt to get going, just park your arse on one of those steel seats for five minutes.

You'll be snapped awake in a cruel and brutal instant.

Oof.

Brother sent me an e-mail 4 weeks ago about going to the DreamTime at the G game. Has organised dinner in the Jim STynes room before the game. All very fancy pants MCC members stuff. So I shot him a reply stating 'yes I'll attend.'

Sitting on the couch last night with my wife and I remembered to bring this up with her to let her know my plans well in advance. She turns to me with a look of sheer disbelief, then followed by daggers. I'm none the wiser and ask 'What?'

Turns out 27/05 is her birthday.....like every year!?!?!!?
In my defence I've only known her for 10 years.

E-mailed brother this morning with 'Out.'

Lucky to get out alive there mate..

Lucky to get out alive there mate..

I must say I toyed with the idea of the response 'I'll make it up to you next year!' for the briefest of moments. Realised I wouldn't make it to then.

lol - "There was an incredible moment when Luka Pibernik (Bahrain-Merida) thought he had won the stage and raised his hands in celebration as he crossed the line, forgetting there was another 6.2km lap to go."

Ha

The chief executive of Barclays, Jes Staley, has fallen victim to an email prankster pretending to be the bank’s chairman.

In an embarrassing development, Mr Staley, who is under investigation from City regulators for twice trying to uncover the identity of a whistle-blower in contravention of bank rules, replied to emails pretending to be from chairman John McFarlane.

The email conversation, first reported by the Financial Times and confirmed as genuine by The Telegraph, was actually with a Barclays customer unhappy with his treatment by the bank, who emailed the bank chief from a gmail address containing the chairman's name.
