Good old Collingwood forever

July 20, 2007

The Pies!

Lindy’s back, i’m back and i’m on the pies. The hot pies. The mighty pies. The glorious pies.

Collingwood are a good prospect and apparently they know how to play the game. Which will be good after god knows how many weeks of enduring teams that didn’t have a f***ing clue which game they were playing. I sure hope that “the game” the pies know how to play is actually Australian Rules football and not, say, that one they play in Mongolia where men on horseback throw a decapitated goat around. Richmond, Carlton or the Swans might be very good at that.

They’ll be playing the bombers this weekend and if they can give me my first win over the Bombers i will be eternally grateful. [Grog squad, i love you all but the gloating ends here!]

These teams hate each other so it should be fierce!

Actually, now have a few good mates in the Essendon grog squad i thought i might do my bit for world peace and take it upon myself to heal the harsh rift of rivalry that runs between these two teams. Then I am flying to Glasgow on Sunday so i thought i might also fix the factionalism between Rangers and Celtic supporters while i’m over there. On the way back if i can change my stop over from Singapore to Jerusalem i thought for a bit of fun, i thought I’d solve the Israeli – Palestinian thing on the way home.

Anyhow, to get in the mood I’ve been listening to this.

Taking a little break

July 3, 2007

In case anyone is wondering, with only four teams but plenty of rounds to go i am taking a break while Lindy is away from 774 Drive and while i seek counseling for acute psychological trauma. I will return when Lindy does – which i think is next week. In the meantime, if anyone is a trauma counselor can they leave some suggestions in the comments box.
