I'll count my blessings that the only thing wrong with my vacuum cleaner is that after about five minutes of it screaming away, you think the world's going to fucking end.

Oh yeah, and it also sounds like your average Boeing 777 on takeoff.

Incidentally, I hear a short branch railway is being built off the Southern line into central Manukau. Now, here in Melbourne, we have a train from Frankston to Stony Point nicknamed the Feral Flyer. I expect this nickname to very quickly cross the Tasman to be applied to the Manukau trains.

No trouble.

Melbourne now ahead 17-16.

Come the fuck on, only 8 minutes to go.

I was going to note the presence of rugby cheerleaders but i knew you HAD to be joking.

But yeah, i can understand cheerleading from a professional dancing standpoint, in that it's better to dance in front of people than an empty gym. The TV show about the Warriors cheerleaders last year affirmed that view.

There were cheerleaders when i first started going to the Warriors. Then they disappeared for a few years and they came back last year.

It actually does improve the pre-game experience. Instead of going through some silly competition and sitting and waiting for 10 minutes for the teams to come out there is constantly something happening.

Unless I'm grossly mistaken, I at least haven't seen cheerleaders in the international rugby fixtures - which is all I get to see nowadays. Obviously tournaments below that level are another story.

Now, I just think cheerleading is rubbish. It looks daft and appeals to the most base demographic. If you want to do professional dancing, go do something that can be taken seriously. Cheerleading's like coming to Melbourne University and taking the course entitled "Great Moments In Australian Sport". Come the fuck on.

Super 14. The Blues cheerleaders are used as a major advertising point. I agree that in terms of it being professional dancing, it is to be laughed at. Professional dancing = fine. Cheerleading as professional dancing = you're having a laugh.

I feel better about it knowing the Warriors don't rely on advertising cheerleaders to pull people to games.

Fuck that. I don't think i've ever seen the Warriors advertising.

I agree with you! I don't hate any U2 song, but there is some I like less. Why do so many people use the word hate, hate is such a strong word.

Bono's voice is bad?

He must read these threads.

21-16 kick to come.


Looks like i saved $5.

 

[coolian2]

Meanwhile, across eight games this round there have been 68 tries scored.

Yeah, as I said, levels below international are another story. I wasn't sure if you just meant Super 14 or the NPC too. I haven't seen an NPC game in ... possibly seven or so years.

Are the Blues getting desperate or something?

I'm disappointed. No mention of the high C.

And 23-16 with less than a minute to go.

I guess my instinct of not betting was the right one.

If the Warriors had retained their form from late last year they would be outdrawing the Blues right now, mark my words.

So yeah, they're a bit desperate.

That's what you call a high scoring round.

 

[coolian2]

My computer just beeped. There is nothing happening post-beep that makes me think there was any good reason for it.

 

[coolian2]

That's what you call a high scoring round.

I think it's pretty close to par for the course.

Probably a touch high though, yeah.

Not a bad round for Harvey Norman to be donating $1000 a try to the NRLs One Community charities.

I get the feeling the Blues are living in past glories.

It makes me laugh.

They have past glories?

or the smoke sound .

or the raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain note.

Hi folks

Like the sig, Ian! I give a shit.
(I know you've had it for a while, but I just keep forgetting to mention it...)

Given Hardly Normal's rip-off prices, I can't see them going broke at even this rate though.

 

[Alisaura]

Hey Jen! ... what's going on for Friday? I'm going to PT at night (when does that start?) but I'm up for some U23Ding earlier in the day if you're going...

How was your weekend?

 

[Axver]

Oh shit, I'm missing Good News Week!

I need a better grasp on time ...

 

[coolian2]

Hi folks

(I know you've had it for a while, but I just keep forgetting to mention it...)

Hi Ali!

And thanks, i'm thinking of changing it again but i don't really want to be banned.

Hey Jen! ... what's going on for Friday? I'm going to PT at night (when does that start?) but I'm up for some U23Ding earlier in the day if you're going...

How was your weekend?

My ticket says 8:30pm for PT.

Jen mentioned U2 3D's doing a 3pm showing. So I was thinking we could do that, then dinner, then con Jen into coming along to PT?

 

[coolian2]

Anyway, i'm going to try to get some sleep and wake up for the cricket.

If i don't re-appear, my alarm went off and i decided i couldn't be bothered.

Otherwise i'll be back in 3 hours.
