Back to the Rat Race
Lil' bro eyes slopes - poos pants
That was the first and only time I went skiing. It was in August at Persiher with Em's family. Em was an absolute angel and laughed and smiled while I cursed the world, myself and everything. By day three she'd taught me enough to enjoy it. She will be a great teacher!
I didn't go skiing this weekend. No, instead I took Emja to a yurt in Morpeth. Which is in the Hunter Valley for all those O/S. It is also quite close to a complete hole I like to call Maitland. We stayed on a biodynamic farm and had home-cooked brekkies which were scrumbdiddlyumptious. We also watched Mighty Joe Young and Stuart Little, which Em made a very coherent argument about not making sense. Mice can talk to humans, dress up and drive cars. But cats can only talk to mice and each other and have to walk round nekkid.
Anyway.
Now that the World Cup draw is out, here is my prediction:
Australia will get smashed.
There will be much media talk about how we have nothing to fear and we can be giant killers because we beat England 3-1 in a friendly three years ago and we competed with Brazil in a sissy comp by the name of the Confederations Cup a few years back. Make no mistake, we will get SMASHED. Annhilated. Wiped from the earth. And it will hurt unless you prepare yourself by listening to the truth.
Japan are more fit.
Croatia are more creative.
And Brazil are, well, Brazil.
So, let's start getting ready for 2010. Who's with me?
Also, this one's for you Sis. As a former Heybaby Baby, you should know that there is trouble in the south.

I think that we need to believe we can win if we are even going to have the balls to go out on the field!! Imagine if everyone was like, "Yeah, glad we made it, but our guys are crap!! We don't have a hope!!!". Not very "Aussie" (where "Aussie now means, "People who wantonly take to the street and bash people")
Fair 'nuff Tangles. We did beat Brazil 1-0 last time we played them...
if oz manage a draw it will be amazing, oz will definietly be cellar dwellers of their group. this world cup might shrink the ozzy ego, which will be a good thing. i predict another 1994, when greece made the world cup and all the greeko's were going crazy but got smashed, by 5-0 in every match. but i guess they made up for that in euro 2004. anyway GO THE CZECH REPUBLIC!
ARSESOME!
Yes - have heard about The Troubles, one of my mate's lil bros is involved. He is a much more troublesome lil bro than yourself.

way to put a blatantly unrelated pic of yourself on your blog, bro. i like your style.
How did you find out about this yurt? Is it a good place for a holiday?
Yer.. The hollar-day certainly sound rather sweet, even if it does sound like a much tidier version of my parents house. Mind you - it is closer and doesn't have my parents, so must up the star rating a little.
It is a great place for a holiday, so long as you don't mind being out of town, woken up early, and reading guest book comments like: 'Your homemade yog-yurt was delicious!' and 'I fell over a cow pat, it yurt!' etc.
The hosts are very friendly.
Ho ho ho, what hilarious guestbook comments! My stomach yurts from all my uncontrollable laughter!
I stayed at a hostel in stockholm, where some wag had written a review of the laundry room. "Pretty quiet most of the time, but has a good atmosphere if you strike up conversation with girls taking bras out of the dryer".
p.s. needless to say (but I'll say it anyway coz talk is cheap) the guy who wrote that was an aussie.
