AFL Grand Final is on in Mebourne tomorrow, St Kilda -v- Collingwood, massive weekend here. They had a parade of the two teams going through the city today with somewhere between 100,000 and 200,000 people attending, crazy stuff. Funny seeing middle aged women screaming for whatever team, guys in business suits with jerseys put on over and stuff.

I'm living in (and supporting) St Kilda, theres such a cool atmosphere around here, all the lampost are covered red, white and black, all the shops decorated, everyone wearing jerseys/scarves etc, real party feel. Game kicks off at half 2 tomorrow, it's going to be a whopper session! Party time!

Next year it'll be Freo's time to shine!!

I wonder what Martin Clarkes thoughts are gona be watching that game?

Am I mistaken or would I have paid in or around €520 for 1000L of home heating oil last time I bought it, probably just before or after Christmas? Anyway its now up to €640

Edit:
it was - deflation my arse FFS!

I was over there 2 weeks ago for the Dockers semi final game...they got some hammering the first 2 quaters ! Cant remember the name of the pub i was watching it in, but there was also some rugby league game same day and rather than have the sound clash, they decided to have none on, very strange.

I checked, Naas Oil sold me 1000L for 495 before last Christmas.
Mrs SP and the litle SP's may get used to wearing their Woolly Jumpers this year because I'm going to start acting my age by becoming a proper oul lad about the heating.
I'll allow them to supplement their heat if they want more by rescuing a couple of bags of the turf that Tommy Gunne never got around to bringing home from the bog

I may invest in a solid fuel stove next year, mother has one and it puts out some amound of heat !

In my wisdom and for asthethic reasons i installed a gas fire in place of the open fire i had...that may be coming out very soon.

We paid €300 for 425 litres 2 weeks ago. It's such a fkin rip off and that was shopping around

**Guest** · 24-09-10, 13:03

So I depart Japan in the morning. It (and China) is the first 'new place' I've visited in a while and my first trip outside Europe/North America. I secretly expected to be wowed and amazed at the differences from home, but tbh its just another place, albeit a slightly bizarre one. It still has people going to work, shops, traffic etc... Maybe I'm getting old but travelling doesn't capture my imagination the way it did when I was 19. Instead of being hilarious a la Lost in Translation, no one understanding you and vice versa quickly becomes pretty tiresome. I haven't had a meaningful conversation with anyone since Wednesday! I think a lot of the enjoyment of travel is gleaned from the people you do it with rather than where you go. Still, its always good to see new places especially when you don't have to pay for it.

what's the opposite of a 'balla'?

I think we might be it, judging by our posts above

Surely the thing to do is to order your swimming pool to be filled with heating oil or just say 'fuck it, we're moving somewhere warm for the winter'

anti-ballaism ftl

There are a lot of expectations from our gadgets these days, and somewhere down the line we have blurred their definition. For example a phone doubles up as a video camera, still camera, voice recorder, MP3 player, movie player, web browser, sketchpad and much more…. But this also doesn’t mean that we are done with

Think he actually might be slightly crazy as he was quite overwrought about someone else's pasta being left out from last night and mentioned that he had to throw out this guy's pasta before (!!!) and talked about how 'this guy is really starting to piss me off'. Not sure if misinterpreting his way of talking, as he's from somewhere in Africa, but he definitely seems unhinged the few times I've talked to him.

Backing Thomas Bjorn to win a golf tournment is worse than hiring an epileptic to carry nitroglycerin through a fecking night club with excessive strobe lighting.

what was I thinking ?

New season of The Office started on NBC last night, kinda looking forward to watchin it later but think it may dying a death also

I have to say I watched "An idiot abroad" last night on Sky one and it made me want to go to China big time! Very funny tv as well. I particularly enjoyed him being force fed a toad by a crazy chinese lady and having a fire massage.

From my limited knowledge of AFL if they hang on to Sandilands and Pavlic (which will probably be unlikely) and add a little more mettle and experience they good go a bit further next year. Never noticed your avatar before.

On channel 10 now they're showing highlights of the last 50 finals through the night lol

If you have missed it check the cousins for Boardwalk Empire. Best premiere ever. Could be a wire/sopranos beater if they keep the standard up throughout the whole series.
