Shane Watson's throwing his weight around this morning.

Kids **** with my social life and I don't even have kids.

Just to clarify, I like kids.

I don't like my friends acting as though `kids' is a teflon excuse to not do stuff - just tell me to **** off if thats what you want, but don't bullshit me please.

Some weird electronica concert = kids can be apparently taken care of by others.
Dinner in Rundle St = oh, kids, sorry we can't. Because of kids.

"Kids" is the best catch-all excuse for any circumstance.
It's like the wild card in Uno, just pull it out when you need it.

Any parent that says they don't use their kids as an excuse to get out of shit is a liar.

****house cricket from Steve Smith there.

The shots understandable but you've got to cross not just drop your bundle.

If boof asks me nicely I'll teach them how to run between wickets.

Shane Watson shits me to tears but he batted well this morning.

i laughed so hard at watson's wicket

Not as hard as I laughed at Cook's.

I live in a little bit of an opposite world. My kids get used as an excuse as to why I can't do the things I'd like to, but when I want to use them as an excuse to get out of something I don't really want to do they seem to not become a problem anymore. Wife's crappy work Christmas function? It's cool, we can find a sitter, even two if the first falls through. Going to see bands that both you and you're wife have loved for over 10 years? Nope, everyone's busy, gotta watch the kids. It's rubbish.

Tl;dr Waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

Oh yeah and I agree about using your kids is a weak excuse. I try to only use it when the person I'm saying it to can't really handle the truth and I'm in no mood for confrontation or hurt feelings

Well yes but having kids gets you into many more shitty (from a male point of view) commitments than it gets you out of.

Been battling that shit for a couple of days.

No fun.

Took immodium to go to a gig last night. I hate it when I am too scared to fart.

I like to fart.

5) Sunil Gavaskar (India) and Viv Richards (West Indies)
To ease the pressure on himself, Sunil Gavaskar had decided to come lower down the order and bat at No 4 for that particular match. But, Malcolm Marshall fired out Anshuman Gaekwad and Dilip Vengsarkar for ducks, setting the stage for Gavaskar to walk in at 0/2. Viv Richards said “Man, it don’t matter where you come in to bat, the score is still zero.”

Glad its not just me.

Shane Watson shits me to tears but he batted well this morning.

...against an attack that saw a 3-test player score 25% of Watson's in one over from England's best fast bowler.
He is still the ultimate flat-track bully.

For thirty years the incomprehensibility of James Reyne's pronunciation protected me from realising just how explicit are the lyrics of Boys Light Up. Thanks to the internet I am no longer so naive.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Card yourself Ford.

 

[edgie]

Something about being dorsetted?

.....

geez I thought I was slow when I found out about 4 years after I first heard it, what a hummer was. Prozac was referred to as Mothers Little helper in the 1970's but I don't think that what it means when he sings "Mother's little helper is coming out for more." That took a long time before I worked that out.​

​

I've never heard of full explanation of what he means by the following but I'm sure it's a made up rhyme. Read somewhere years ago that there is a place called Dorset Garden and maybe it refers to that.​

​

The garden is a dorsetted ​

That lady - she's so corseted ​

I like James Reyne better when I don't know what he is saying.

And even better when I haven't heard his name or his music for 20 years.
