NERDS FC FAN CLUB NEWSLETTER : Episode 8
The final episode of Nerds FC is on this week. It's been such a wonderful program. Those nerds are such likeable people. -----Original Message----- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + NERDS FC FAN CLUB NEWSLETTER + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Greetings Fan Club Member! Well, did you see the last episode of SBS’s hit show Nerds FC? How’d you think the boys went? You won’t be surprised to hear that the lads are starting to focus on the big match – they’re getting more and more serious about their training and stamina levels. Allow me to tell you a few secrets only clever people like yourself - who’ve joined the Nerds FC Fan Club and who therefore get access to these newsletters – will get to hear. Ordinary people won’t know this stuff just from watching the show: - The match was played at the Marconi Stadium, 40 kms west of Sydney. Both Andy and Milan had played there for a number of years as players and lots of the ground staff knew them from those days. - David was given a goalkeepers crash course by Jim Fraser – Sydney FC’s goalkeeping coach who also has his own goalkeeping academy. - Pierre Littbarski, Sydney FC’s coach knew about Nerds FC because his friend and fellow former international Lothar Mattäus coached the German version of the show (which, over there, was called Borussia Banana) Okay, I can hear coach Andy Harper calling my name (well bellowing it actually which means I’ve probably parked in his space or something) so that’s all I’ve got time for. Thanks for reading this far, I’ll be in touch again very soon. Yours in football, Webster Treasurer, NFC Fan Club Webster Treasurer, NFC Fan Club --------------------------------

Let's forget about the bad news today and look ahead to the next round, when the Saints meet the Demons at the MCG on Sunday. That's 3 sunday games in a row. Sorry BB, but your boys are going down this week! (and I'm open to a wager too) The coverage on the telly is poor again. I've gotta wait until Sunday evening for the replay, so I'll turn to the live radio stream (unfortunately 3AW is covering the game!) Tuesday 30/05/2006

Putt Putt @ Ermington : The King of Putt Putts
Bricey was invited to a 7yo birthday party today, and I had the pleasure of taking him. The party was at Putt Putt @ Ermington.
I had been there a few years ago, and always remembered it as a tired and shabby place. Well, it looks like the place has been given a bit of a freshing up.
The party group went down the Fun Run course and everyone had a good time. Some of the gang even score a hole in one I'll be back to tackle Waterways and Jungle Trail [listening to: Every Song Is A Cry For Love (Ireland) - Brian Kennedy ]6:08:52 PM comment [] trackback [] G!

Saints Lifetime Win/Loss Record

NERDS FC FAN CLUB NEWSLETTER : Week 7
Nerds FC continues to delight. It even has it's own entry in wikipedia I can't believe it's almost over. The next episode sees the boys have a rematch with the Young Matildas - that will be entertaining!. -----Original Message----- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + NERDS FC FAN CLUB NEWSLETTER + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hello again, Hope you saw the last episode of SBS’s brilliant series Nerds FC. Who did you think looked the best after the transformation? As you saw, all the boys’ families were pleasantly surprised – some more so than others but a couple of other things you might not know from just watching the show: - Phillip – Also Known As `Mono’ was offered the chance to become `Duo’ by Suzanne the stylist as part of his makeover. She’d booked a session with a waxing lady to work on Phillip’s eyebrow but he said he was happy with it the way it was which Suzanne thought was fair enough….so he’s still Mono. - The boys attracted a lot of attention when they walked down the red carpet that had been put down for them in Sydney’s Circular Quay – there was much rubber-necking by members of the public who couldn’t work out whether they were movie stars, rock stars or what they were. - Customers can only stay in the ice bar Minus 5 for half an hour partly because the temperature is so intense and partly because there’s a queue of people waiting to go in. Okay, the final whistle’s blowing on this week’s newsletter. There’s more to come however so stay on-side and I’ll be in touch. Yours in football, Webster Treasurer, NFC Fan Club --------------------------------

Billy and his Rugby Adventures
So, Billy's been playing Rugby Union for 3 weeks, for Knox Under 13E The results so far are showing a disturbung trend.
The team is learning how to play the game - obviously. BTW - I keep bumping into Peter Fitzsimons (ex-Rugby Union International, best selling author, columnist for the Sydney Morning Herald, breakfast radio host AND one of the judges for the Office 2007 Aussie Words Search). He has a son who plays in Billy's team. Maybe I should ask Peter for a few pointers on the finer aspects of the game?? [listening to: Ninanajna (F.Y.R.

Mr MOHAMMED NASSER sends me a note
I got this in my inbox today. Mr Mohammed Nasser needs my help! I think I may have to pass this time around
FROM Mr MOHAMMED NASSER DEAR FRIEND I am MR MOHAMMED NASSER, the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of Standard trust bank of Benin cotonou Republic of Benin in West Africa with due respect and regard. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction. During our investigation and auditing in this bank,my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died in (beirut-bound charter jet) plane crash on the 25th December 2003 here in cotonou (replublic of benin) and since his untimely death the funds has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to thisdevelopment.(http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html). Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and partners to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time of execution. The said amount was US$24.1M(Twenty Four million One Hundred Thousand united states dollars)As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through my a friends who works with the Ministry of Information here in Cotonou-Benin. It is him who recommended your person to me to be viable and capable to champion a business of such magnitude without any problem . Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased,get the required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit yourself to this great business opportunity. In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant,we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank.This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designated bank account. May I at this point emphasize that this transaction is 100% risk free as I have made arrangements for a successful arrangement as an insider of the bank before contacting you. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while 60% will be for me and my partners. Please, you have been adviced to keep this a top secret as we are still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you. I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in. All other necessary information will be sent to you on your acceptance to champion this transaction with me. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible on my personal email address stating your wish in this deal. Yours faithfully, Mr MOHAMMED NASSER

He started with Tank, then Godzilla, but he has settled with Juggernaut. I think it's quite apt. Go Juggernaut!!! Update: I know the source of the nickname - it's from a video on YouTube. LOL

I got my Nerds FC fan club email today. Can't wait to see the next episode on Friday., -----Original Message----- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + NERDS FC FAN CLUB NEWSLETTER + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hello, I hope you enjoyed Episode 3 of SBS?s breakout hit Nerds FC. Word is that Guus Hiddink has asked to see tapes of the show: not sure whether he?s doing some last minute talent-spotting or if he just wants a laugh ?? Anyway, are you still humming the Nerds FC anthem? A lot of people round here are, in spite of themselves. It?s that kind of song. Now, what the millions of viewers who watched that episode won?t know (unless, like yourself, they?re wise enough to have joined the Nerds FC Fan Club) is that: - The boys recorded their anthem at 301 Studios in Sydney. Other people who have recorded in those studios include Missy Higgins, Elton John, Powderfinger and Silverchair. - While waiting to be filmed, the boys were fooling around with a grand piano that was in the audition studio and Phillip Lathourakis demonstrated that he is an awesome piano player. - Coach Andy Harper recorded a team song when he was a player with Sydney City some years ago. So far, no-one has found out if there?s a clip that went with it. If there was, Andy?s keeping very quiet about it! There are heaps more secrets I can tell you nearer the time of each episode so keep watching the show and I?ll be in touch shortly.
