Howdy y'all. What has everyone been up to lately? Did anyone manage to watch Australia's Brainiest Footballer last night. I did. I thought it was funny how Mick Crocker chose Harry Potter as his specialty subject. The problem was that he had only read one Harry Potter book. Needless to say he lost. I also hear that Jana Pitman is at it again. She said that she would give her 400m relay gold medal to Poms because she said they deserved it and that it was Tamsyn Lewis's fault that the poms got stripped of the gold. What a fucking bitch. She just yearns for all the attention. If she is so worried about Australia hating her, stop being such a whining, drama seeking annoying bitch. I went to Monte Zuemers on friday night. I enjoyed it alot. Beer was the same price as coke and the food was tasty. Afterwards though, I had to shit. And i will tell you what, I've had more solid shits before.
My Weekly Whinge
I just read a list of the Logie nominations and I tell ya what, the battle for the gold logie is shaping up as a tough one. There is some real talent in this bunch. Lets see, first up we have Bec Cartwright. Huh? She doesn't even do anything anymore and while she was on TV, she was the worst actor/popstar going around. Its a joke! All she does is watch Lleyton Hewitt play tennis and be a mum, and sells photos of her baby to women's magazines. Next is Natalie Bassingthwaighte. I think the only reason she is nominated is because she is in Rogue Traders. Its a joke! Then we have Bert Newton. While he is a legend of Australian TV he certaintly doesn't deserve a nomination. Family Fued is higly unentertaining while his show 20 to 1 is not a very commanding role. Its a joke! John Wood is up again for the tenth time, yes thats right! Ten times. He is probably a good bloke but his show is being axed. I dont think he is going to win it now. Then there is a few Home and Away people, Ada Nicodemou and the veteren Kate Ritchie (who has a decent size rack). All i can say is that acting isn't a pre-requisite for being on Home and Away. Throw in Bridie Carter (McCloeds Daughters) as well. The show is unbelievable. A bunch of good lookin sisters who run a farm and do all the hard yakka themselves. Its yet another joke! Finally we come to Rove McManus. Three time winner of the Gold Logie, past host of the logies and the funniest man on earth! This is yet another joke! His show is going down the drain and may be axed by the end of the year. I cant wait for this prestigious event. Bring em' on!
This Weeks Big Issue
The Logie nominations can tell you two things. Either Austalia is lacking qualtiy talent and production or the acutal quality is not being recognised. If shows such as Headland (which got axed very quickly!) and Bert's Family Fued are receiving nominations, there has to be something wrong. There must be better quality out there! Who or what show do you guys think deserves a nomination? (post a comment through the link down the bottom)
Need to Save a Bit of Money?
I have a simple little tip here for you. Fuel for the car is so expensive theses days but most people need their cars. Dont worry, this will ease the burn on the hip pocket. When re-fueling your automobile only put small amounts of petroleum into it. Therefore your vehicle will weigh less and run more economical. It may also help to keep the windows closed to prevent wind resistence. But make sure you dont flick the air con on becuase that to will use fuel.
Trust me! It really works! Just thank me down the pub when you shout me a few beers with the money that you save!

Hello folks welcome to the Weekly Blog!
What a week that has just passed. Its been jam packed with cyclones, the commonwealth games and foreign athletes going missing from the games village. Whats the bet that half these pricks will probably end up competing for Australia at the next commonwealth games. Every other foreign prick that comes to Australia and is half good at something is snapped up quickly by Australia. There is heaps of the cunts:
Russel Crowe, Dale Begg-Smith, Mel Gibson, Jimmy Barnes, the Bee Gees, Kate Blanchett, Brad Thorn, Tony 'the Chin' Carol, Heath Ledger, Natalie Grogorieva, Miao Miao, George Gregan, Kostya Tszu, John Farnham, Keith Urban, Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen, Kamahl, Elena Kat-Chernin, Olivia Newton-John, Willie Ofahanguia ..... just to name a few! The list just keeps going on.
Weekly Whinge
Anyone watch the 'Ergon Energy' Broncos finally look like a good football team on the weekend? What about the 'XXXX' Bulls kicking the shit out of the vics in the Sheffeild Sheild final? Finally the 'AAPT' Lions start their journey for premiership glory this weekend. Can anyone see what im getting to? All the fucking professional sporting teams are losing their identity to an extent because of the bloody sponsors. Its not just the mainstream sports in Australia. You've also got the 'Breakfree' Bullets and the 'breakfree' Roar (?). Now I understand that teams and clubs need sponsors to survive but does it have to replace there names. Isn't it enough that these teams have the sponsors pasted all over their jerseys with signs all around the ground and in the background when they are having media conferences. Good old Eddie Maguire has got a dick load of sponsors for collingwood (at least 11 major sponsors). What are we meant to call them?
This Weeks Big Issue
The IR reforms came into force today. By what I have read and heard so far about these reforms, is that they are going to be a piece of unfair shit. What will happen? Well i reckon its just going to run along like nothing has really happened. But they do have the potential to cause a big bang. What do you guys think?
Funny thing happened on the weekend. I was at my nieces 1st birthday on the weekend and all the kids were given a party bag. My nephew got this little toy pipe that blows bubbles. But instead of blowing he sucked in the soap and started burping out bubbles. Good times!

Hello readers, this is the Weekly Blog
I hope you all had a good weekend? Mine? It was a pretty good weekend. The mighty Wynnum Vikings came away with a commanding 7 goal win over the Coorparoo Kings on Saturday. I then scooted off and got ready for the D'n'D Ball at dreamworld and I will tell you what....I got quite intoxicated. The drinking started off quite slow as the daft pricks at the bars were pouring the drinks out of the cans into small cups which was causing long lines and slowing my drinking intake. They eventually started to serve the drinks in cans and I gladly took advantage of the endless amount of alcohol i could drink. What was shit was the music entertainment. Started of with Rhubarb who are only good for one song but they are still quite shit. Then Killing Heidi and all I have to say is they were shit as well. The Rogue Traders then hit the stage and I really hate these guys. They only played a 25 minute set and they still managed to do a cover of a No Doubt song. Fucking useless pricks. If they have to play other peoples music at their short concert, their album must be really really shit. They sounded crap as well.
Wednesday's Whinge
I walked past the Student Representative Council's office the other day at uni and discovered that it had been closed down because Voluntary Student Union is being bought in. Now, this doesn't come in until july (i think, its around that time) but I still have to pay fucking student union fees even though they are closed! Its a fucking rort. When these cocks were open, they never did anything for me (except once I borrowed their stapler). One time i didn't pay my fees on time so they gave me an overdue fee, which was $60. They are a bunch of cunts. If they were really representing the students they wouldn't be taking my money like that because they should understand that students dont have much money (because it is spent on beer), after all, they are representing me! Well, i'm gladd these fucks are closed. Finally I have something to thank John Howard for (and its about time).
This Weeks Big Issue
I was listening to B105 the other morning (not by choice) at work and some girl called Jane rang up and had suspicions that her boyfriend was having an affair. Well this radio station than rang this boyfriend up and pretended to be a flower business where he had won a $150 bucnh of roses. They asked him who he wanted to send them to and he said Natalie, the women he was having an affair with. They set him up and he got fucked over on the radio. While this made great listening im not sure if this is the place that radio stations should be interfering, and i think they do this on a weekly basis (but dont quote me on that one). What do you all think, are they venturing into places they shouldn't be and are they taking advantage of people by pretending to care about them?
How to Save a bit of Cash
With the cyclone up in North Qld, the price of banannas are going to go sky high because something like 80% of Australia's banannas came from there. Its just not banannas that are expensive, its all fruit and veg thats not cheap. But dont worry, I have a little tip that will save you money! When buying your fruit and veg, do not put it in plastic bag. That way, you are only paying for the fuit and veg, NOT the plastic bag. You may think that it wont save you much, BUT it all adds up. Trust me. Its also good for the environment.
Try it! It really Works! Just thank me down the pub when you shout me a few beers with the money that you save.
Finally, i'd like to plug keyto's journal (
http://www.livejournal.com/users/keyto316). He said something this week which has caused a bit of a family fued and it is definately better than Bert's Family Fued on channel 9. Make sure you have a look and check out the comments section as well.

Hello readers this is the Weekly Blog!
The Weekend
Being such the socailite I am, I had a very busy weekend with various parties and other engagements to attend.
Saturday saw my much awaited return to the AFL field for the Wynnum Vikings. I put in solid first up effort getting my hands on the ball a number of times firtly along the half-forward line and then in the backline. Along with a couple of marks, tackles and a shot at goal I was happy but am expecting more this Saturday. We are playing the Coorparoo Kings in Wynnum this saturday so come along and a have a few ales and I promise I will sign a few autographs after the game.
As you all probably know, beefy had his much awaited 21st on Saturday night and with free beer there I dont need to say anymore because any party with free beer is a good party. I then trundled over to Dave Pettit's 21st. I managed to wish him a happy birthday before he was having a spew in the back yard and being hosed off by his sister.
My Weekly Whinge
I saw an ad on the telly the other day and it appears that Channel ten are bringing back the reality hit show Australian Princess for another year because the first year was so good. The executives over at channel 10 cant be that fuckin dumb can they? This show was woeful and also a piece of shit. I actually watched part of an episode last year and that was enough. Watching some stupid airhead women learning how to eat a boiled egg or a bananna properly was a waster of my time when I could have been downloading porn! I thought channel ten might ride it out and finish this season off and then forget about it forever, but no they are actually doing another season of it. Why the fuck would they?
This Weeks Big Issue
I heard the other day that the Sex Pistols have sold the rights to their back catalogue to Universal Publishing Group who are know floggin it off to companies for use in adverstising. A department store in England have already paid up for a Sex Pistols summer window display and apparently Range Rover and Brittish Airways are interested. Apparently there is also plans for Sex Pistols action fgiures, a mucial and ringtones. The Sex Pistols are being inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll hall of fame but are not attending the function because they believe the judges are just 'music industy people' (
http://www.thefilthandthefury.co.uk/)
but now they are selling their back catalogue to to these sorts of people. I like the Sex Pistols and their music and what they have done for music, but are they selling out?

How to Save a Bit of Cash
As I have said before, it is very important to take good care of your teeth. This includes using dental floss. Now dental floss can get a bit on the expensive side especially when there are other necessities you need to buy. I know a way where you can kill two birds with one stone and save money!!!!! We all enjoy a hot cup of tea and there is no need to give your tea up to save a bit of money because by buying teabags, it will save you money. With the tea bags being good for about 2-3 cups of tea (another saving tip!) the string on the on the tea bag can also be used as dental floss. Another alternative is recycling your old dental floss. Each time you use the bit of dental floss, just lay it on the window sill so it can air out. It will be good for about 4-5 uses before it starts to wears-out.
Try it, it really works! Just thank me down the pup when you shout me a few beers with all the money that you save!
Commercial Radio's Funny Bits
This was an ad flogging the Artic Monkey's new song (although its getting a bit old now) 'I Bet you look good on the Dancefloor'
It went something like this:
Person 1: hey have you heard the new song by the Artic Monkeys?
Person 2: who? the Artic Donkeys. Thats a wierd name.
Person 1: Noooo, the Artic Monkeys.
Person 2: oh, thats a funny name.
Me: Thats a shit ad.

Welcome back everybody to the Weekly Blog. I hope everyone is swell for this Monday afternoon.
The Weekend Review
The weekend generally involved the normal happenings of a normal weekend. I get pissed and then spend the next day sleeping and doing nothing really. Friday night was a quiet one spent at home as I opted not to go to the pub and have a few fine brews. I now wish that I did because my sister was having a sex toy party (its probabyl not what you think it is. Its like a tupperware party, but with sext toys and lingerie). The thought of my sister, along with aunties, cousins, my mum and several other older people being in a room thinking of buying sex products just didn't sit to well with me. They did show me one product that some guys out there might find useful, its the 'fan in a can'. Basically its this 'life like' vagina attched to a can that you empty your man mayonnaise into and it also doubles as a torch. Apparantly it was worth over $100! I think I will stick with the hand.
Saturday night I headed into Friday's to get drunk, which I achieved with great success. Not many highlights that I can remember, except seeing Karmichael Hunt. It wasn't really a highlight because i dont like the broncos or him really, but there were a bunch of fat-kiwis who hung around him all night who no doubt were trying get in his limelight. Someone said that they must have been his bodyguards or minders. What a dipshit! Also, about 20-30 coppers entered Firday's for some reason, not to sure why, but it was amazing how many people went straight for the exit when they came. There were line-ups at both exits with people trying to leave the place.
The Weekly Whinge
I was at the Stock Exchange a couple of weeks ago and was lining up to get inside. I noticed this bloke standing in the line, it was Sam Thaiday. A guy who has played a handful of first grade games for the Brisbane Boncos. Not many people would really know who he was unless you are a broncos fan (which I am most definately not) or you just like footy in general. Anyway, he was standing in line like any normal patron, no doubt getting thirsty and craving a cold one, when the bouncer walks down the line, has a few words with him and then takes him to the front of the line and lets him inside in front of everybody else. What a piece of shit! My whinge isn' about Sam Thaiday, its about the bouncers and night clubs who let certain people in and not others. Just because he played for the broncos they let him, then there will be some other bloke who isnt wearing the right t-shirt or shoes and they wont let them in. It fucking pisses me off!
This Weeks Big Issue
I was in the city a few weeks ago doing a bit of shopping and I could not get over the number of fucking teenagers who were dressed like 'punks'. When I say 'punks' Im referring to the style of the band Good Charleotte, where they wear black clothes and make-up and that sought of shit. In the past people who wore this sought of clothing would usually be looked upon as 'weirdos' or different, but now there are so many kids out there that dress like this, I personally think it is becomming part of the pop-culture. What do you all think? Is it becomming part of the pop-culture? Do you like it? Leave a comment.
How to Save a bit of Cash
Last week there was some conference where so-called experts proposed that the price of water should be doubled. I dont know about you, but I dont want to be paying anymore for water. Fuck, it falls out of the sky! Anyway we all have these other things that we have to fork out money for which are also going up in fucking price, and with much of our money going to grog, we cant afford to pay more for water. Dont worry, there is a simple way around this! Whenever you go to work simply take with you some bottles or those big water containers and fill them up with water at work. That way you'ar not paying for it, your boss is. Another handy little tip I have for you all, take with you one of those hot water flasks to work and get boiling water from there so you dont have to use your own water (or money) and you also dont have to use your own electricity.
Try it, it really works! Just thank me down the pub when you shout me a few beers with the money that you saved.

Howdy everyone! Sorry its a bit late this week, been a bit busy. Anyway I will get straight into it.
Two In a Row!
Last night we won our touch footy grand final in what was an upset. There were shades of Newcastles victory Manly and the 'baby' Bombers grand final win over carlton in the early nineties. We were the underdogs last night as the other mob hadn't lost a game all season, flogging everybody along the way, including us. They started off the match by scoring in the first set of six and it didn't look to good at that stage. But we settled and replied with a try of our own through yours truly. We scored again on the buzzer to put us up 3-1 at half time. We then ran away with the match fucking them up 8-3. It was a sweet victory because we were put up to two grades this season and the other team was full of fuck-arses, except for one or two. They didn't even stick around to get their runners-up trophy or have a frosty one.
My Weekly Whinge!
Does anyone really give a fuck about the Grammys? I sure as fuck dont! And those who do give a fuck have a problem. You really have to question the credibility of the Grammys when Mariah Carey was nominated for something like 8 awards, and she ended up winning 3. And there is U2, who are still winning awards from the album 'How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb' which was released 2 fucking years ago. Its just stupid. And then channel ten have to put it on t.v here in Australia and it even makes the six o'clock news. There are more important things in the world then the stupid fucking American Grammys. And while im at it, i'd just like to say: fuck America for all the shit music that comes from there because for the good music that does come from there it doesn't make up for the shit.
This Weeks Big Issue
This week it will have to be about big Wendel Sailor. He has had a bit of a hard time of it of late with Qld supporters giving him alot shit and his little incident over in South Africa. Now all the abuse he copped here in Qld was called for, my favourite was this big banner someone was holding that said "sorry new south wales, no refund!" And thank god for that, because he is an ordinary rugby player with not enough skill to play on the wing in rugby, he should have stuck to league. Anyway, he then gets in the shit for getting drunk, pushing some guy over and having a spew outside of the night club. I think he is being a bit hard done by, and i think we sometimes expect to much from sportsman. He only got drunk, which we all do, pushed some guy who was probably hastling him and then he had a spew, which we all do. At least he didn't rape somebody. I think we should give him a break about it. What do you all think?
Thats all for tonight, look forward to seeing you all this weekend and having a fair few frosty ones with you all.

Welcome back everyone, and for the first time it will be the Weekly Blog. I didn't do anything last week because I was pretty busy doing study for an exam and I couldn't be fucked updating this page. But dont worry, I will definately make up for it this week!
The 'Weekend Update'
Beside the exam on saturday morning, which was shit, the weekend was pretty good. I dont know why they have exams on saturday mornings, whats wrong with Monday-Fridays. Anyway, wanted to have a fairly quiet weekend, so I went to a bbq at my brothers place and had a few cold brews, then ended having a lot more and getting pretty intoxicated by the end of the night. I have never seen my brother (mark) so shit-faced before, he drank most of a bottle of scotch then started drinking wine straight out of the bottle then cracked open a bottle of port which we gladly polished off. I remember getting the cab home and walking in the door and Adam just went straight to his bed and fell flat on his face and passed out. So it was a pretty good weekend.
My 'Weekly Whinge'
Why do radio stations, especially the commercial stations have to have such fucking shithouse ads for themselves. Like triple m, they have based their whole marketing approach for the summer around a monkey called Barry that picks their music for them. How fucking stupid is that. Another pitch line that used was,"here at triple m we put a lot of thought into our music choices...... nah who are we kidding! We just play a little bit of this and a little bit of that." Why would they say that about themselves? Then there is Nova, with their, "we really really love brisbane." Fuck that is lame. And the fat chick on the ad, looks like a fat grumpy bitch in it (I think her name is michel luarie or something with michel in it). Why cant they get a good marketing department that can come up with something that is at least a little bit clever, anything is better than a stupid monkey picking music.
The 'Big Issue'
I suppose one of the Big Issue's of late would have to be that abortion pill. The abortiom subject is a very touchy subject, but i was surprised with how many politicians actually came out to support the drug for abortion. I thought there would be many who would try and stay on the safe side of things and not say to much about it and just vote. But good on them for saying what they feel. Although I agree with them taking the power away from the health minister, i'm still not to keen on the idea of trying to make the pill legal. Its a very touchy subject.
'How to Save a Bit of Cash'
One of the great things about summer is having bbq's. Its great when a few mates come over to your joint and a have a few beers and fire up the bbq. Theres nothing wrong with telling them to bring some snags or whatever for themselves, so you wont look like a tight-arse and it wont cost you anything. But you cant ask them to bring their own sauce, they will expect to just borrow a bit of yours. And we all know that tomato and bbq sauce is a vital part of the bbq experience. There is an easy way to save the expenses on sauce. Simply get your bottle of sauce and empty half of into another container and store for later use. With the remaing half bottle of sauce fill the rest of it up with water, give it a shake, and then you have twice as much sauce! Easy as that!
Try it! It really works!
Just thank me down at the pub when you shout me a couple of beers with the money that you save.
Finally i'd just like to say that I was playing a bit of 'backyard cricket' at my mates place today. It was a highlight of my cricketing career as i smashed a quickfire century of scott and declared at 103 not out! I then got him out for 19, bowled ram caught electric wicky'. And i did not enforce the follow on either. When i smashed his second ball for a 4 and it broke through the fence he gave up and we went for a swim.

The Daily Blog is no longer called 'the Daily Blog'. It has had a slight name change, the Weekly Blog. There is a couple of reasons for this. I could not be fucked trying to update it daily and think of things to write evferyday, so i will just do it weekly instead, so the name had to be changed. It will be updated on monday's or tuesdays, so make sure y'all check it out.

As many of you may have realised, the Daily Blog has not been updated for a little while. It has been bought to my attention in the comments section by a chap called steve, that instead of being daily, the Daily Blog is becomming more like the Women's Weekly. For any of you who do not know, the Women's WEEKLY does not get published weekly, but monthly (You could say the same about Women's Day, which comes out weekly).
Is the Daily Blog becomming a monthly blog? That is the big issue that we have here! It is being talked about by everyone. When people go the water-cooler at work - Is the Daily Blog becomming a monthly blog? When people go to the lunch room - Is the Daily Blog becomming a monthly blog? When poeple answer the phone, there are those annoying tele-marketers who ask - Is the Daily Blog becomming a monthly blog? Everyone is talking about it!
Is the Daily Blog ignoring its own mission statement and objectives to become a monthly publication?
This is Thursday's Big Issue! What do you think? Is it becomming a monthly blog?

A pearly white smile is important to everyone so it is vital to make sure that you have a good toothbrush. But going out and buying a new toothbrush everytime the old one gets a bit frayed can become a bit expensive, especially with the price of these flashy toothbrushes now days.
There is an easy way around this!
Simply boil a kettle of water and pour it into a bowl. Then put your old frayed toothbrush into the boiling water and leave it there for about 3 minutes, thats just to soften the bristles a bit. After that, quickly run it out to the workshop and put the bristles between the vice and leave there for about 24hrs. When time is up take the toothbrush out of the vice and you will notice that the bristles are no longer frayed. The toothbrush will be as good as new.
Try it, it really works! Just thank me down at the pub when you shout me a beer or two with the money that you save!

You know what really gets my blood boiling? When these idiot "experts" over in hollywood bring out sequels to shit movies. It is happening all to often now days and it is really pissing me off. I can easily list a number of horrid squels that have been made (but never should have).
Miss Congeniality 2
Dr Do Little 2
Cheaper by the Dozen 2
Charlies Angels 2
Legally Blonde 2
XXX 2
Speed 2
American Pie 3 + 4
The Son of Mask
Tomb Raider 2
Bad Boys 2
Duece Bigalow - European Gigalow
Big Momma's House 2
Police Academy's 3-7
and there are some in the making, just to name a few
Bean 2
Doctor Do Little 3
I'll Always Knows What You Did Last Summer
Mrs. Doubtfire 2
Tomb Raider 3
You Got Served 2
Bring it on Yet Again
Looking through that list I find it hard to believe that these sequels have been or are being made. The most recent sequel, Big Momma's House 2, looks painful. I saw the previews the other day and it looks absolutely unfunny but what else would you expect from Martin Lawrence (e.g. Black Knight, National Security). But what pisses me off just as much is that there are plenty of clueless people who will actually go out and pay money to see these movies (these people probably listen to crap music too because they are suckers, that's my theory).
These sequels should never have seen the light of day and certain "actors" should never be allowed to "act" again, especially the serial offenders such as Martin Lawrence and Sandra Bullock.
Say no to crap sequels!

The Daily Blog will be taking a few days off as many of the loyal readers will be away because they have better things to do than read the Daily Blog. As Keyto pointed out in his blog (
http://www.livejournal.com/users/keyto316)people will be away on cruises, at fraser island, up the coast, in melbourne working or at the bigdayout watching some darn good bands perform. So instead of updating the Daily Blog, (which no one will probably read because they are away) I will take a short hiatus.
I do have one thing to say. What does everyone think of the super-slow-mo camera? They are using it in the cricket and it has been quite good. They are also using it in the Australian Open Tennis and it is quite good in this as well, if not better than the cricket. You might ask why it is better in the tennis than the cricket? Well I will tell you. Yesterday I saw Maria Sharapove playing and they used the super-slow-mo camera on her and focused on her mid-rift down. You have probably all noticed that she is wearing a short dress, and in the super-slow-mo camera shot it showed her dress bouncing up showing her undies as well as her camel's toe! Now that's Gold!
That can give you something to do this weekend Neb. Look for the super-slow-mo shots of Maria Sharapova.

Hello everybody, how are we today? Me? Im pretty shit actually! Woke up Tuesday morning with a cold and ever since I have felt like crap. This leads me onto my Wednesday's Whinge.
Its the middle of summer, so what the hell am i doing getting a cold. I have a 'runny' nose, a bit of a sore throat and cough and i am sweating my arse off. But if I put the fan on me its make me feel worse so i cant win. The thing that really pisses me of is that I am going to the big dayout on Sunday, so I hope I feel better.
Why is that when there is something that you have been looking forward for so long, thats when you get sick? Why couldn't I be sick last week. Its not fair. But at least it gives something to whinge about, but hey, I have plenty of things to whinge about.
The point of the story is, I hate being sick.

Well its that time of the week again and it is fair to say that this weekend will probably have trouble living up to the last few recent weekends. The last few weeks have been a bit of a bonanza with christmas, New Years and Keyto's birthday.
I hate to say it but I am sought of hoping that this weekend does not involve to much drinking as I think the old liver needs a bit of a break. As always though, I think there will be a few icy brews enjoyed through out the weekend, and I also have a feeling that these icy brews could lead onto even more drinks. The reason being is when you want to have a quiet weekend it ends up being a failry big one. But I would not complain about that.
Hopefully there might be a bit of cricket played over the weekend down at some park. That would be some good fun.
Hopefully i can see you all on the weekend, if not have a good one

The Daily Blog is always at the cutting edge of all the big issues in this world and today's Big Issue will be no different. It is sure to enrage debate among opposing sides and cause turmoil.
Personally, I have experienced this 'Big Issue' before and it wasn't that long ago. I was driving home from work on a bright sunny day and in the car beside me i saw a man 'picking his nose'. Ok, maybe he didn't think anyone was looking and proceeded to remove a booger from his nostril. But, instead of flicking it out the window, wiping it on the dash board or wiping it in a tissue....... he ate it. Yes, thats right, he gobbled it all up! Had a bit of a snack on his own snot. Why would he eat his own snot for?
Ok, we all like to have a bit of a dig through the old smeller once in a while, but we never eat what we find in there.
Tell me what you think. Is it alright to eat your boogers? Its a disturbing issue, no wait....its a 'Big Issue'!

My Wednesday Whinge is about something that probably gets on alot of people's nerves most of the time. Its commercial radio. It has nothing to do with the crap music they play (or how they advertise these new songs even though triple J have been playing them for 6 months) or the number of ads they play (or the ads advertising that they dont advertise much, like "no more than three ads in a row"). My Wednesday Whinge is about how lame the presenters are. Everything from their fake laughs to their crap jokes really annoy the shit out of me. I know what you are all saying, "Dont listen to it if you dont like it!" Well i have no choice! I have to listen to it at work.
An example of how lame they can be was the other day when the radio was on 97.3 Fm. The presenters wanted people to ring up and tell them their 'crazy-christmas ham story'. What the fuck is a 'crazy-christmas ham story'! Well they only got one caller and I will tell you what, their 'crazy-christmas ham story' was CRAZY!
The story was as follows, (imagine it being told in a lame voice as well)
"Well, for christmas i got a Chrisco Christmas hamper with a ham in it, then a few days later down at the local RSL, i won another ham! So we had two hams for Chirstmas!" (insert fake laughs from the presenters)
How lame is that!
With no more callers, they then wanted people to ring up and tell them their 'hero pet stories', and the stories were just as lame!

Just a quick little tip today that is very useful.
That time of year has just passed where you have had to buy everyone presents. This will no doubt continue as there will be a number of birthdays just around the corner. You may not be able to go out and buy everyone a flash present, although you wish you could. There is any easy way around this. Simply leave the price tag on the present so the recipient can see how much the present costs. But as you leave the price tag on, make sure you add a '1' or a '0' onto the price tag to make it look like you spent a lot on the present, even though it is a piece of shit. For example, its your mum's birthday and you decide to get her a cheap bottle of wine for 8 bucks. Just add a '1' onto the front and then you have a bottle of wine for 18 bucks. That way it looks like you went that extra yard!
Try it, it really works! Just thank me down the pub when you shout me a beer or two with the money that you save.
Just a little news for keyto. I found out what neville's name really is..........Peter.

Hello to everybody out there, hope all is well! For me its pretty good.
Got some good news for my companions from unit 1 at the new years trip, we got all of our bond back, which is good considering we did put a hole in a wall on the last day. I guess the old 'put the ironing board in front of the hole' trick actually worked. Remember that one everybody, you might have to use that one sometime. Yet another handy little tip from the Daily Blog. Just shout me a beer or two down the pub sometime to say thank-you.
Just a question for the friendly folk from unit 9, did u all manage to escape without losing any bond on scotty's credit card? I know there were a few little troubles there. Tell the Daily Blog how it went, just leave a message in the comments section.
I'd also like to say that I should have gone to the 20-20 cricket match tonight and drunk a few cold ales instead of playing touch football. After stuffing my face with food through the festive season and enjoying the odd ale or two, it was not the best preparation for sport. Throw in the fact that I hadn't run for a month and half the touch-football team were at the cricket enjoying a few icy brews meant the touch football game was shit and I was fucked after 5 minutes (we had no subs either for the first half). For the record we lost by 1 try, which was not to bad of an effort.
Anyway, that's all for tonight

Cheers for the night keyto, the craic was good and you were fucken pissed.
