Beware the Ides of March!
hehe - I love that saying.
For me, it's a warning about the upcoming sportsfest down in Melbourne ( which I can't bear to watch). The best comment is from John Doyle (aka Rampaging Roy Slaven) with his article, The Lost Empire - You gotta read it.

Mad for an Xbox 360
My eldest, Antony, is desperate to get his hand s on an Xbox 360. He can't wait anymore. As far as he is concerned it should have launched on March 2nd. So, when he heard about the contest on local radio station Nova 969 - he went crazy. The promotion goes something like this
So, Antony is listening to this and wonder WHY would they be destroying an Xbox 360 when could be playing with it. Turns out they aren't really cut with a chain saw, but Antony has Asperger's Syndrome;AND takes everything literally.< P> and is quite literal. He deals with the concrete and with facts, so this kind of promotion leaves him very confused. I tell him to chill - he'll get a chance to get his in a week and a bit. Plus, he can come visit me when he wants to plat [listening to: Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash ]5:42:01 PM  comment [] trackback [] G! • Family |

OMG. South Africa win the greatest game

Got the AFL Record Guide to Season 2006
As I do each year, I finally got hold of the AFL Record Guide to Season 2006 (ISBN 0975796402). It took a lot of searching until I tracked down a copy at the Angus and Robertson store in Chatswood Westfield. It was the only one in the store. The AFL Record Guide to Season 2006 is the bible of stats with information about almost everything AFL. Each year, the book gets bigger. This edition has 16 more pages than last year, with 866 pages, but it's slimmer, due to lighter weight paper.Pretty cool. This year, the publishers have added a new element - the ability to email corrections back to them. There's a bunch of updates already posted online My AFL Guide sits in a "special place" in my house and it gets read every day. Can't wait for the season to start.
