John, John he's our lad
He's been gone for just a tad.
But please come back to all your mates
Cause you're as far as the United States.*
I miss our nights out on the town,
I drink my beer with only a frown.
What will I do if you join the army?
God knows i will go completely barmy.
So please come back oh wont you John,
You've been gone for far too long.
* or the United Kingdom

A M***** F****** Rant Emil Style!
Sorry mate. Cant bring that flag in here. You see, in Australia, the Australian flag is actually a gang flag and it may incite racial wars.
WHAT THE FUCK?
Piece of shit political fucking correctness. Fuck you. Its my country, and i cant take my flag. Meanwhile, the stupid fucking thick as a brick shake dude can take his and wave it around singing "im a fucking tosspot short and fucking stout"
Its gone way too far. Fuck them I say. And right near Australia day. If there was a day when its appropriate more than any other to wave the Australian flag its Australia day but oh no, a couple of people will find it fucking offensive to see the Australian flag being shown on Australian soil on or just before Australia day.
IF YOU DON’T LIKE OUR COUNTRY GO BACK TO WHERE YOU FUCKING CAME FROM YOU UNGRATEFUL FUCKING BASTARDS
I don’t often swear and am definitely not a racist but by fuck ive had enough and tired of shit being thrown at me. The thick shake guy pisses me off. And now the aussie flag is banned from the Sydney big day out.
Why doesn’t Australia kick the large chocolate shake out. Hes a fucking nut and stirring more hatred and violence then the aussie flag. Our flag. My flag. And he reckons he has more right to be here then I do cause he paid to get here and im a convict. Fuck off you stupid fucking cunt. I think its time you shaved. Im not only an aussie, but a south aussie and have no convict blood in me. The only reason you are here is because my country is so much better than yours. And you cant deny it. Or you wouldn’t be here.
Im going to cry if the flag really does get banned. It will be a sad sad day. I take offence to unshaven faces, ban them!
Why doesn’t the government have the thick shake assassinated.
And someone else who should be assinated….Emil. Who the fuck organises a party after there mate has already organised one. Filthy croat scum.
Fuck im worked up. Ive never said fuck as much in my life i dont think. Fuck.

The Calvins v Rowdy
129 v 160
After the disappointment of last weeks Grand Final, the first match of the new season was an important match in terms of confidence and getting off to a good start. Alas, Rowdy proved to be a formidable opponent, who through some big hitting early, highlighted some weaknesses in The Calvins gameplay.
Signs were good early, Anna picking up a free tea at the café on the parade. My banana milkshake hit the spot after a days trudging through the lovely surroundings of Beaumont, while the pleasure on Andrews face showed that his iced tea was flowing down and through his body like a properly made iced tea should. The friendly chit chat was relaxing and did a lot to focus ones mind on the game. The focus was shattered, however, when a realisation came through that we may be late to the 6:00pm start time and a race through the streets of Norwood to Windsor Gardens began. With Andrew seemingly taking random corners, Sam grew increasingly impatient with the non direct route to the centre. Fortunately, arrival time was a few minutes before start time and with the non arrival of Rowdy, there was even enough time to change. The other four members – Dennis, Dave, Luke and Matt – enjoyed a fine warm up and signs were positive, especially with Rowdy showing up numerous players down. As a result, they asked to bat first, and being a sporting team, The Calvins agreed to take the field, with a slight air of confidence about the evenings affairs.
The team confidence took a huge dive early, however, with The Calvins star bowler Matt, bowling the first over, being hit for 15. Things didn’t improve for the remaining 5 overs of the pair. A partnership of 73 was hit off the first 6 overs with only 3 wickets being taken – 2 runouts in Dave and Luke’s overs and a fine catch off the bowling of Andrew, the best bowler in the first pair by far. Three 7’s were hit with a further 9 balls finding the back net. The only positive to come from the partnership was the crowd doubled in size when Krystle joined Anna in the bleaches.
The second pair went to the Calvins, only due to the superb efforts of Andrew. Again the only bowler to really trouble the batsmen, he produced a fine over of -12 to keep the pair to just 31, taking the score to 104. If the Calvins could keep the third pair to a similar score, game on!
Having only five players, Rowdy had to have a player bat twice. Choosing the “weakest” player, confidence was again on the up, and soaring when Matt produced a wicket, clean bowling middle stump, on the first ball of the pair. No more wickets fell, however, until a runout off Sam’s over, the fifth. Andrew again produced last over heroics, recording another negative over but it couldn’t stop a 56 run partnership and a total of 160.
Although 160 is a large total to chase, The Calvins camp was still confident they could win the game. Only 5 fielders to contend with and 160 had been achieved a few times before. In walked Dennis and Andrew and it only took one ball to put a major dent in the hopes of players and fans alike. Dennis caught first ball. Another wicket in the over gave a score of -8. Losing three more wickets for the partnership, it was slow going and with just 22 runs in the partnership, two dejected players walked out of the net. Something special was needed.
Up stepped Sam and Matt. 12 off the first 3 overs each, 14 off the 4th and 19 off the last 2 earnt a partnership of 69 (party for 2!) without losing a wicket, giving The Calvins some hope of a comeback. Matt produced his highest score of 35, just outscoring partner Sam on 34, and was involved in his highest partnership of his career. The highlight of the partnership was the running, with extra runs being stolen on 6 occasions. The fans were going crazy.
Still needing 70 to win, Luke and Dave got off to a good start but a wicket in the second over put a halt to the chase. Things slowed down and although losing just one other wicket in their partnership of 38, the final score was 32 shy of what was needed.
With only half the team performing (Andrew with the ball, Matt and Sam with the bat), this was a game of missed opportunities. Chasing 160 was always going to be difficult but the boys put in a brave effort. Only 1 point was taken from the game, Sam and Matt winning the skin with their superb knock. With the season off to a 0-1 start, next week becomes important to get that first win on the board. Again at 6:00pm, get down to Windsor Gardens if you can and cheer on The Calvins in their eternal quest for glory.

Social Experiment
Earlier this afternoon I conducted a random experiment on you guys, my friemds. It came out of 2 things - boredom, and having some phone credit to use up.
AIM
To investigate the response received from friends when sent a random, unprovoked friendly greeting
HYPOTHESIS
50% (10 from 20) people will respond. The responses will be varied from a greeting returned to confusion. Also expect the greeting to stimulate a conversation with at least half of the respondents. Nick will not reply.
METHOD
The experiment involved the sending of a friendly greeting - "just saying hi" - to 20 random people in my phone. Guys, girls, different friendship circles, family members.
RESULTS
Of the 20 recipients of the greeting, 14 (70%) responded, as follows:
DISCUSSION
Of the 20 individuals who received the greeting, 14 (70%) responded with some sort of response, 4 more than hypothesised. Of those 14, 7 (1,2,3,5,9,12,13) contained a greeting back. 5 (3,4,5,8,11) contained some sort of conversation, not quite the half as hypothesised. The conversations were interesting though, ranging from a request for a leisurely hit of golf (4), to concern for my well being (3). 7 (3,5,6,8,10,11,14) of the responses contained some hint of confusion with a further 2 (7,8) containing some form of insult. Interestingly, 2 (10,14) didnt have my number in their phone casting doubt onto the friendship between us. Importantly, though, they still responded unlike the 6 others who refused to respond. One of those was Nick.
CONCLUSION
An unprovoked friendly greeting will generate a response from a fairly large number of recipients of the greeting. The responses will be varied, ranging from a returned greeting to confusion and insults. Nick will not return a friendly greeting.

There are many movies i havent seen. Moulin Rouge is one of them.
I got chased by a goose today. Shouldve shown it who's boss and brought home christmas lunch for mum.
England = shit. And dont think im going to waste any time crying for a closer match next time so we get a good series. I say fuck em! smash em out the ground! Bowling Shane!
Adelaide United should stop wasting money on Brazillians, unless its for the cheerleaders oh yeah!, and spend it on developing the local talent. What a knob. A couple of good games 20 years ago doesnt give you the right to prance around. My sister has a tutu if you want it.
