Noel >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Liam. I approve.

I'll get to watch this live, then!

Exciting. Reggo's first live game.

I forgot, where do you get to watch these games again? On ESPN? Intarwebz? Refresh my memory.

 

[Axver]

You folks following the set in Santiago?

Didn't they rehearse OTH?

Kind of, not really that immersed in it.

ESPN3.com

Oh right. How's the quality?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I've just realised my title goes perfectly with my current avatar. Winning.

When the bandwidth cooperates (IOW, when I don't have MSN and facebook open) it's like watching live TV

Awesome. Not long to go!

 

[Reggo]

Aw, crud. I won't be home until 3:30 PM. Gonna miss most of the game.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

3:30 PM your time I assume?

 

[Reggo]

3:30 PM your time I assume?

no, yours

 

[Vlad n U 2]

You'll be able to catch the last quarter and a bit quite comfortably I would think.

(My time is great, innit? )

 

[Axver]

Didn't they rehearse OTH?

And they duly performed it!

How nice of them to acknowledge New Zealand's improbable advance to the World Cup semis.

Haha it does.

On a side note, the song can also be dedicated to the Chilean miners. I guess that'd work too.

YAY FOR DOUBLE MEANINGS.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Port dominate first few minutes, Collingwood thumble and unable to get it out of their half. Then they get it out, into the F50, goal.

These sorts of things is what divides the pretenders from the contenders.

Yeah, or the miners, like Vladdikins said.

Wait, Noel was a crack addict? All I know of Oasis is Wonderwall and that they used to hate each other. Oh, and Liam caught John Lennon Disease.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Noel was on crack for much of the 90s, as far as I know, as was Liam (I assume the whole band was at the time) but gave it up in 1998 and has been clean since then.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

WTF Collingwood you don't even miss.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Spoiler

I can't believe Swan snuck that shot in. Went off the boot a few milliseconds before the siren!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Spoiler

Today will be known as the massacre at Etihad. What a spectacle.

 

[Axver]

Besides the miners, OTH always needed to be performed in Chile anyway - Victor Jara, mentioned in the second verse, was a Chilean. I'm surprised they never did it earlier!

As for the AFL, bah, the afternoon game isn't on telly here. Just the Formula 1 qualifying.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Afternoon game is entertaining ...

Spoiler

... Collingwood 68 Port 19 with 10 minutes to go in the 2nd quarter.

 

[Axver]

Sweet jesus!

At least Hawks vs Crows is on telly here tonight. Carn Hawks!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Our 20th anniversary in the AFL, too.

 

[Axver]

Yeah but you look like Waikato.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

No, we look like awesome.

 

[Reggo]

and espn3 won't load. arse.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Where has Andrew Krakeour been all these years? Oh yeah, he spent a few years in prison, a very very good pickup by Collingwood though. He's still got it.

Exciting game.

 

[Reggo]

Angry Reggo is angry.

ESPN3 is being a bitch, so no footy. Started a new knitting project from a pattern I devised but it keeps falling apart when it absolutely shouldn't.

 

[Reggo]

No matter how many times I listen to it, Yahweh sounds like the gimpy, red-headed stepchild of Do You Feel Loved. And they should've kept it locked up.
