David Does Division Direly

Poor David Beckham.
He’s stuck with that slapper tart from the Spice Girls, gets mobbed wherever he goes, gets blamed whenever England loses an international, then gets a hard time about his kid’s maths homework.
Plenty of parents struggle with their kids homework. Calculus, foreign languages, accounting – all of this can be tough.
So we shouldn’t [...]

Definitely Not Mickey Mouse

I saw this story on 3 News – and it’s definitely worth checking out BEFORE Disney gets hold of it.
In a nutshell – Jason McElwain is an autistic kid who is the “manager” of a high school team in the States. After 4 years of handing out towels and water, for the last game [...]

I could be weeding the garden

OK, I have a choice – write a post and get back into weeding the garden.
Hmmm … let me think for a moment.
Now, where was I?
The Super 14 is starting to throw up the odd surprise.
The failure of the Blues to win their first couple of games and then just scraping past the Reds
The Hurricanes [...]

The Force (Not) Be With You

It hasn’t taken long for the Force to find out they won’t be as much a force as they’d like to be.
If you can’t beat the Chiefs at home – particularly at the end of a South African trip – then you’ll find life is going to be tough at the bottom.
Last night’s game showed [...]

Money Doesn’t Buy Success

Let’s hope a few people at the Warriors read this story on Stuff.
The Tigers WIN by paying $500K under the salary cap.
The Warriors LOSE even after cheating the salary cap.
What’s worse, the Warriors have got the fan and corporate support of a country the same size as the Sydney market.
Then there’s the development potential with [...]

Flavell Back … Watch this Space

Troy Flavell makes his much anticipated return to Super Rugby (it’s very trendy to drop the numbers you know!).
Sadly, it’s much anticipated by the journos who are just waiting for Big Bad Troy to revive his Baddest Man in the Land act.
So, right now (according to Stuff website) he’s “tough and uncompromising”.
How long before it’s [...]

Only The Warriors

Any sane person would have questioned why anyone could be a Warriors fan?
It’s tough enough being a league fan in the land of rugby without the seemingly endless and increasingly farcical moments that come out of the Panmure Warriors (right now, they have no right to claim to represent New Zealand).
The vision has always been [...]

Headline of the Year

Without a doubt it’s got to be:
“What will we do with the drunken Sailor?”
As you can well imagine, Wendell will no doubt be spewing about all the media attention.

Ne-apalling Result!

This is a public service warning – the following post does not intend to extract urine or in other way yank parts of your body. Really.
But if I started a post with Nepal just beat New Zealand in the plate final of the U19 Cricket champs, you WOULD think I’m either a) taking the [...]

Run Forest Run

So I’m no Flo Jo … I know.
I’m not fricking poet either, and don’t I know it.
But there I was … on a Sunday morning when I could have been – should have been – either in bed or at the golf course.
Instead, like another 10,000 lemmings, I was putting one foot in front of [...]
