SGR said she liked my tie.
With the 80s theme for the Christmas party next week, am thinking of what I could wear as a costume - navy whites a la Officer and A Gentleman or Top Gun keeps bouncing around my head, but white at a party where alcohol is likely to be spilled hmm. Or even walking through town with the costume on. Although TDE's eyes crinkled in amusement when I mentioned the thought to her - either navy whites or a Bon Jovi mullet perhaps. Or surely there are better ideas out there, surely.
Hmm, ever since the goal in the first half evened up the aggregate score one all in the World Cup playoff between Australia and Uruguay in Sydney this evening, you could just feel it was going to go to a penalty shootout. The second half of extra time has just started, so there is still another fifteen minutes for a goal to be scored, but the game just has that feeling. Would be very English if it happened like that - Kewell even looks a bit like Beckham with that silly hairstyle LOL.
Not that I am going for either side to win really, when people have asked me who I am going for, I have said the Dutch (they have always been my international team). But it would be good if Australia won to go through to Germany next year, at least more people than us footy tragics would be interested in a round robin game of Ecuador versus Togo for instance LOL.
Just a sarcastic view of err wogball from a website with a wicked sense of humour here.
'Apparently on the weekend our national Wogball team went to some pissant country in South America where the locals paused briefly from running their economy into the ground, bagging globalisation and complaining about the latest crop of military dictators to hand our lads a woopin’. Nevertheless, our meeja has taken a “not as bad as it could be” angle on things and declared that the Socceroos can hit back on the home leg (apparently in Wogball they make you play twice, rather than once, which seems rather unique in sport but not a bad way to maximise ticket sales). The only thing missing from the coverage, for my money, was the subtle suggestion that the Uruguayans are probably terrorists.
By the way, it is a penalty shootout. How surprising was that - not.

But come on chaps, haven't we been here before? Is this 2001? Didn’t we go through this four years ago? And four years before that? And then further back? Sorry, hang on, eight years ago it was Iran, who paused briefly from threatening Israel, savagely repressing its women and enjoying possibly the world’s highest smack usage to cane our Crusader-fascist arses. Seems we have our very own quadrennial ritual in which the meeja and the weird collection of misfits who run Wogball in this country tell everyone we’re going to qualify for the World Cup this time, before failing miserably.'
Thank you The Spin Starts Here - accreditation where it's due, of course. Though biting my fingernails to wonder if I have done enough to placate the copyright goddesses over on the site. Eh, I'll take the above paragraphs off if I've done something wrong.By the way, it is a penalty shootout. How surprising was that - not.
