FOX Footy Channel Program Listings 13th – 19th June 2006 NSW only

We've crossed the halfway point of the season, and the Saints are sitting at 6 wins and 5 losses.

The upcoming round is the split round. The Saints face Adelaide in Melbourne and then they have a week off.

The record against Adelaide since 1991 favours the Crows, but we beat Adelaide last year in the 1st Qualifying Final at AAMI Stadium

Watching the Wallabies

On Satutrday night, I ventured out to Telstra Stadium to see the Wallabies meet England. It was the first time I've been to see a Rugby Union International. Wallabies Scarf

I had been invited by James McCutcheon from J3 Technology - Thanks for the invite James.

I've had to learn about Union this year, because Billy has started to play Rugby, so it was good to see a real game.

What impressed me was seeing all the spectactors wearing their "gold". It looked pretty cool in the stadium. Made me want to go out and get my own scarf

For the record, the Wallabies won 34-3.

Cars go Brmmm

I went with the kids to see Cars on Saturday morning. We went to the first session at Hornsby, to beat the rush.

I really liked the movie. Typical story arc of The Hero's Journey, featuring talking cars. Owen Wilson who voiced the fast talking hero Lightning McQueen, just played his usual character.

What was amazing about the film was the look of it all. The realism of the scenery and the shiny appearance of the cars. The racing scenes were just unreal. It was hard to believe this whole movie had been rendered on computers.

Brice sat through the whole movie (again) which is a hilight for me, and he even waited through all the credits for the little fun things that Pixar always do

The movie is having mixed reviews from critics, but I reckon it's going to be a block buster
