On my friends Didy and Geoff, and Country Rock.
I’ve a pair of friends, Didy (pronounced Die-Dee) and Geoff (pronounced Geoff) who I’ve known for a really, REALLY long time.
They are the NICEST, most WONDERFUL people I know.
They are also fabulously musical people. When I met them, Geoff was part of a working rock band and could play about 5 instruments. Didy dabbled in […]We Wuz Robbed! (part deux)
Okay, for those of you who aren’t aware, Australia lost to multiple world champions, Italy by 1 goal to Nil.
Oh, and Italy got their only goal EIGHT SECONDS from the end of the game.
And, to add insult to injury, the goal was from a penalty that should never have been awarded.
Now you might think I […]WE WUZ ROBBED!
More indignation and dummy-spitting after work.
C’mon! It’s 6:14am, what more do you want?
australia, football world cup, italy, soccer, soccer world cup, socceroos, world cup
We did it! (this is no time for a text-only post…)
We needed a draw. This would put us, for the first time EVER, into the final 16 of the Football World Cup.
It was 4:30am in Sydney, it’s the middle of winter, millions are bleary-eyed in front of their TVs, tens of thousands are in the streets of their cities watching the big screen via satellite. […]I hate everyone and everything too
I was doing my daily blog-whore and something in today’s post on White Woman Black Dog stuck a chord with me.
DO NOT GET ME STARTED WITH PARKING ARSEHOLES.
Which brings me to the mouth-breathers who live in my apartment building.
My building is only about 5 years old, and really lovely. It’s the sort with nice big […]Damn them butt-wiggling Brazilians…
Well we lost 2-0. It could have been way worse though. I awoke from a dream that we lost 10-0, so the reality was excellent in that respect!
Mind you, keeping them scoreless for the first half was way, WAY good. Considering we aren’t even a blip in the soccer radar of the world, to be […]Aussie reader-only relevant post
Further to games involving men kicking or tossing around balls of some description…
The most satisfying thing a girl can get on a Friday night (okay.. well maybe the SECOND most satisfying thing) is watching the Dragons beat the Broncos in the dying seconds of the game.
HA! SUCKED-IN YOU DAMN CANE TOAD LOVERS!
oh, and go the […]meh… back at work/ YAY! Go the Socceroos!
Well, I dragged my sorry carcass back to work today, though I have to say that the air-conditioned environment was not a good thing for me. I battled through regardless, cuz I’m a trooper!
Now, allow me to jump on the bandwagon with every other Aussie sports-following tragic.
The FABULOUS Socceroos have made their first move towards […]Spammers ARE from hell
Stumbled across this blog today.

Breathing is fun!
Well, hasn’t this been the week from hell.
I wanted to post a little earlier that I was feeling a bit better, but frankly, I felt better on Tuesday then felt like CRAP on Wednesday, so I didn’t want to tempt fate again!
I also didn’t realise that apart from the difficulty breathing thing, pneumonia is PAINFUL. […]
