I prefer whacky results. It suggests form is more dynamic and you're not guaranteed results.

I'm not ready for the footy season to be over in just over 3 weeks..
Neither am I. Largely because I took a while to get into the season, now I am right into it and it's nearly done.

I have never done as badly in the tipping comps as I have this year. Admittedly, in the early part of the season, I was dreadfully ill and really had little interest in the footy at all. That didn't last though, but I just could not pull it back due to the wacky results.
I went pretty bad as well.
My biggest issue is an aversion to tipping certain clubs I can't stand. A few clubs killed me this year. Brisbane early on, took weeks and weeks to get a Dragons game right, love tipping against the Bulldogs.

I wonder how long until the first female first grade ref...

Can't see why it'd be an issue, if good enough.

Although (sadly) I suspect the outcry from certain fans if she made a mistake would be pretty gross. That's no reason not to give a woman a run if she's in the best group of refs though

Soccer semi final today, spot in the grand final on offer.

I'm pretty nervous. First finals match in a few years. Would be my first grand final in any sport since 2006.

I've never won a grand final, best I have done is 2nd in U12D's cricket.
I won 11's and 16a's cricket grand finals and 14's we won our half of the comp, and a touch footy comp once. Since then my club won the U/21's comp but I played every game except for the grand final, when we were at full strength and I was not required, so I don't count that one.

Since that 16's win though I reckon I've played one cricket 4th grade semi, lost. Reserve grade soccer match we lost, missed a semi because I was at a wedding interstate, and we lost, then in 2012 we won our 3rd vs 4th match then lost the preliminary final the week after.

A friend at one point had made something like 16 grand finals and lost every one of them.

Basically, they're happy in every country that is not Muslim and unhappy in every country that is!
AND WHO DO THEY BLAME?
Not Islam.
Not their leadership.
Not themselves
THEY BLAME THE COUNTRIES THEY ARE HAPPY IN !
AND THEN- They want to change those countries to be like, THE COUNTRY THEY CAME FROM WHERE THEY WERE UNHAPPY!
Excuse me, but I can't help wondering...
How frigging dumb can you get?
Everyone seems to be wondering why Muslim Terrorists are so quick to commit suicide.
Lets have a look at the evidence:
- No Christmas
- No television
- No nude women
- No football
- No pork chops
- No hot dogs
- No burgers
- No beer
- No bacon
- Rags for clothes
- Towels for hats
- Constant wailing from some bloke in a tower
- More than one wife
- More than one mother-in-law
- You can't shave
- Your wife can't shave
- You can't wash off the smell of donkeys
- You cook over burning camel shit
- Your wife is picked by someone else for you
- and your wife smells worse than your donkey
- Then they tell them that "when they die, it all gets better"???
Well No Shit Sherlock!....
It's not like it could get much worse!

My boss sent me to a hotel here in Rwanda to see if we should sell them to our clients.

First night:
- No power
- No running water
- Rat falls out of my roof
- Sleep on couch in common room
- Powrer comes back. No internet access.

Yeah, I think we'll be using alternative accommodations. I don't mind budget and this is Africa, by a client spending a few grand on a gorilla trek just might.
