I Can't Stand Aussie Rules

I don't understand the game, I don't like the game, and the worst of it is, that when I do actually watch one of the games (easy to do since it is about the only footy left on free to air television in this country), and Brisbane lose I get as frustrated as I used to when Queensland lost the State of Origin in the league, and probably still get when the All Blacks lose a match. Very weird that reaction since I don't like the sport LOL.

Hmm, on the whole Australian immigration policy on this story. You know how if you are an illegal immigrant here nowadays if the authorities catch up with you they either send you to a detention centre or deport you - well, a mentally unwell Australian resident ended up in one of the detention centres for four months before she was correctly IDed, and in the case in the story an Australian citizen got deported to the Philippines after giving a false name at hospital. The immigration guys couldn't find this fake name on their lists and she got sent to her birth country, and hasn't been heard from for four years.

Biting my tongue on any further comment here... damn the Lions losing, and double damn me for caring. Talking of the word damn, hmm had our first meeting with the new team yesterday, and hmm, will be interesting with one person there. RWR is both wannabe retiring and outspoken at the same time, tries to play the quiet little mouse of the group, but roars quite often, and we got into this whole discussion about how we want to treat each other (as you do when you are sounding out a new team and such) and the issue of swearing came up.

RWR does not like the F word, nor taking God's name in vain, nor damn, nor even bloody. She wouldn't like sitting over in my corner, with myself, SGR and LDU (back next week yay) - I swear under my breath a lot, and when I do say mother out loud, I'm not meaning to communicate with my parent LOL. And the two girls are quite OK with swearing as far as I have understood so far...

Later peeps
