Best. Christmas. Ever.

December 27, 2006

I must have been really good this year because Father Christmas bought me just what I always wanted. A small party on a friend’s farm was the plan for Christmas eve, but the plan quickly changed when the girls mentioned that the next house down the road had a group of backpackers staying there who [...]

So Warney is going to retire after the boxing day test. Cricket will never be the same without him. Here’s a look at some of the best wickets of his career.

I Give Up

December 19, 2006

It’s extremely sad that something that is a fairly standard promotion elsewhere in the world makes front-page news in Australia:
A NIGHTCLUB party where bikini-clad women can drink as much as they want for free has been slammed as unsafe, disgusting and demeaning.

Snatching Victory

December 18, 2006

Our cricket match on Saturday was the scene for one of the greatest comebacks in suburban cricket history. Chasing 191, we came back from 6/66 to win by 1 wicket.
Take special note of #11, A. Ahmed, who came out with 39 runs required for the last wicket and made 33 not out. In his first [...]

Any car-knowing people shall now please advise me what would be the best kind of car I could get [...]

What Were The Options Again?

December 12, 2006

Congressman Silvestre Reyes is confused:
Reyes stumbled when I asked him a simple question about al Qaeda at the end of a 40-minute interview in his office last week… The dialogue went like this:
Al Qaeda is what, I asked, Sunni or Shia?
“Al Qaeda, they have both,” Reyes said. “You’re talking about predominately?”
“Sure,” I said, not [...]

Citizenship Tests Are Meaningless

December 12, 2006

Australian Citizenship is meaningless to most people.
Australian citizenship gives you, in order of importance:
1. An Australian Passport, which in terms of travel is one of the most valuable passports available.
2. The right to continue residing in Australia even if you commit a serious crime.
3. The right to vote for the Socially Democratic, Tax and Spend [...]
