AlexRRR

Friday Funnies on Tuesday because im off to Phuket tomorrow morning....then next week sometime will need to face Jomtien immigration to say, "hey fellas im back and supply 10 photo copies of everything again..... Round 5 the Saints fall over....Demons continue poor form out of state, Tigers cant win a give me, Suns sink to new lows in not being able to beat Freo, Blues found out, Bomber faithfuls think its a new dawn rising, Bev's head back on the block, Lions reach new heights while Eagles loose there way... Ahhh were back to a friday for games.... Freo vs Dogs......How the mighty have fallen....struggling like you have no idea....Go watch Florida Man on Netflix highly recommended, limited series nothing goes to plan twists and turns all the time, and all over the shop just like these two clubs and much better to watch since Dee the blondie is a honey... Port vs Eagles......Your dog now wears armour Will? This game is as exciting as queing for 30 min at a brand new donut stand at Siam Paragon.....it's true i use to see them Thais do that....these days hardly anyone goes to, and no i never bothered to try one, well its free to que but you pay to watch this crap...from them footy teams... GWS vs Lions..... a little one sided affair, glad i will be too busy to watch this poo....GWS remind me of a man getting his tooth pulled... Cats vs Swans......GF replay....match of the round, yesterdays heroes, is Paddy back to well decent form? Will Lance line up? wont matter.......both teams saving them selves for the second half of the year..... Hawks vs Crows......a mauling about to happen....Crow supporters think the Simon Goodwin days are back....and for a while it should be.....unfortunately if they keep getting better there wont be any hope in hell Simon will be poached back to his home state... Blues vs Saints......the Victoria Bitter came a tumbling down at the bottle shop last weekend.....Blues have this sabi sabi look about them selves....like dont rush.....all in good time....Voss will need to put a cracker up a few here if they want to be sitting 3rd anytime soon... Suns vs North...... Heritage Bank Stadium??? Where this? wont matter......Dewi has lost the plot, just going through the motions, get the sack and a big pay out to leave..then sun deck on the gold coast for the rest of his life. Demons vs Tigers......well the Tigers are just 1-1-3 but they're maned up to some good sides.....Pitiful Demons dont wanna take them to lightly, big upset here im thinking...as we know Simon boys go missing for like 3 or 4 weeks at a time, back under Northey it was common to tumble from 1st to 5th while loosing 5 in a row......If it's raining turn off the telly the boys dont like getting wet...the question on everyones lips is........have the Demons grown up or are they the same....i of course have no faith in them......Look Steve May was playing like a grasshopper....never seen him so bad...and he had a lot of mates, Brayshaw? did a few things in the second half...the entire team is just fronting up...would it be the style of play or they saving themselves for the second half run that Cats and everyone else will be on... Pies vs Bombers......well i hope they puncture the sails of the Bombers....you just dont want to have the red and black army carrying on like cracked tea pots do you....i would like to mention that there were a number of suspect fees given against my rabble in the first half Bombers did have 3 goals 2 behinds from frees in the first half that helped set up the run over...like in the end we didnt deserve to be on the same ground but gees be fair....Im all for the Pies carrying it on for one more week....as all the suffering inflicted by the Bombers came up in a night mare during the game...no one ever kicked us harder when we were down i see reeeeeeeeeeeeeeed......

I feel sorry for you.....my head is starting to spin too.....You been to Jomtien immigration? Officially move to Pattaya earlier this month...so im in the process of changing my address on everything... Be good if you got consistent info hey...

Thank you for words of encouragement Rip.....im notoriously a poor starter in tipping.....aiming for mid table by round 22....breathing right down your neck so to speak....

Thanks for the Pollywaffle............long year for you? not in tipping......the guru of TV you are Poppy Will...

Not an upset.....seen it coming all year....2/3rds of the team in on reputation, but maybe there learned that its not much chop playing at 98% in the first 14 games of the year.... Plus....they didnt like getting their hair wet...and let's not talk about Slacky hey......

Friday funnies on Thursday...... 4 rounds in and Saints on top......someone is floating on air over there in the Fitzroy bottle shop... Cats jump 6 places to 13 and Hawks new cellar dwellers.... All games in Adelaide so for most teams home ground is out the window... Crows vs Blues......a nice one......Voss in familiar territory, here we go here we go...chance for the blues to cement them selves feet first in concrete...the building of a tower.....lay the foundations and remince about the good old days......its thursday night were out and and about im walking you home lala la....LRB for you who dont know... Freo vs the Suns....im bitterly disappointed in Dewie....glad we ended up with Simon now...going no where fast....Love is a Battle ground for both....Yello Submarine for Freo...going down...

Lions vs pet food Roos.....honeymoon is over for Clarkson and once glamour boy Todd Viney, better than Jack his son and way better looking to when a lad in the number 12....silky smooth centre man mid use to kick a mile too....too bad hes 50 now North could have used him this weekend....Live and Let die....Wings.... Bombers vs Melbourne.....high flyers red and black feeling loved once again....Sheedy on the outer no one listens to him now.....Demons coming off a gruelling WA visit, cant play away and were away again....struggling..never seen so many players just going through the motions...sure they fell over the line but boy ho boy few are in form...had a quick look at who we play this season and the gods are smiling at us...should be able to mask the poor form for most of the year....Slackly Hunter....my god, kicks dont penetrate shoots them all over the place cant kick more than 30m looks like a Bedouin on that that wing, hardly ever in the right place.....and insulting us with wearing the number 12....Todd Viney's number and after that bad boy Colin Silvia, at least Colin was when he turned up a match winner...also a long accurate raking kicker like Todd....Demons going backwards with Hunter in the team men...Stoned Immaculate....Jim Morrison... Port vs Dogs in a ripper....."No Where Man" the Beatles......that about sums up my review on this game.... Cats vs Eagles.....well it's lucky they dont make pet food out of Eagles....finding there feet......purrrrrrrr... 5 to 1 The Doors.... GWS vs Hawks...."Let it Bleed" Stones....and bleed some more Mitchell will.....sure they will throw the baby and the bath water at this game after last weeks effort but everyones been expecting the Cats to turn up for a while now and when they did they were going to massacre someone... Pies vs Saints......wow.....Class up against adrenaline...."Jane Says" Janes Addiction...love this song...well Jane says .........im done with Sergio, he treats me like a rag doll.......Try again tomorrow....im gonna kick ( the ball) tomorrow....Jane says...have you seen my wig around, i feel naked with out it...if the Saints win im changing teams....

I guess the gather around round is the only way there going to get people to go to sleep city...

Well North's Thomas back in the headlines.....you certainly know who to draft down there at Arden st Fj..... Deleted vid from his social media showing him driving down the road with feet on his Mercedes steering wheel..... Id say they guy will never play with the men again....doesnt even have saw dust between the eyes...its like a big black hole....full of lot's of nothing... Why are all the teams playing in the city of churches this week men? .

Local first, as you know Thais often misrepresent, went to one shop this morning according to google maps it was open but it was not, bought a Deko electric motor bike a few months back same deal no one in Pattaya i could find selling anything that suited me, well one shop but they haven't lived up to what they said they were going to be doing in terms of showroom and service centre, only electric motor bikes that were not something like a Vespa @ 149,000B were the super cheap Chinese ones, patts is cheap charlie heaven you know... No hurry as i have a car and the Deko, this foldable bike i see is heaven sent perfect for when i do some travel, may even off load the Deko if i find it better than expected.

BKK Ebike... https://www.bkkebike.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjw586hBhBrEiwAQYEnHXKWOOoTffV7qY52YStu7Poi0zhE7YATMynkLwAt3fCXC9opLTzMchoC0CUQAvD_BwE Failing that Available on Ali Express and i have used that site a lot, 20 inch foldable has plenty of reviews in youtube selling plenty in the US and other places... Smlro S11 26inch also available on AliExpress both bikes around the 28 to 35,000B mark. Also in Us and Europe, still prefer to buy local but hey if i cant find what i like....both bikes fold up thrown in the back of your car, pedal, pedal assist and straight out electric drive. I had a Ebike back in AU though it had the motor at the pedals which is the best way over hub but it only was pedal and pedal assist, it set me back around 75,000B nothing is cheap in Oz....

Demons ditched them for Casey...

Interested in something like this, pedal/pedal assist and full on electric bike all in one, foldable to throw in the back of the SUV when going traveling is a big bonus. I live in the Pattaya area if anyone knows of some place that stocks them can be out of my area, there easy enough to buy on Ali Express but would prefer for obvious reasons to buy locally for parts and service if and when needed. Yes that pic of bike here is foldable with 1000w Lithium battery range up to around 40km on full electric.

I want to know what happened to the fish in my fish tank.....look it's a very long story....like i didnt want any pets and if i did id get a cat, it started one day when i decided to buy a fountain....can you help me Rip? Well the fountain was near a supermarket here in sin city i use to go to a lot when i was down checking up on works...something like that...i ended up buying one when the works were done, she said she would clean it before delivery but i said nahhhhhh..silly me didnt comprehend it was mould on the side...i had big big issues back in au with mould...another story i wont bore you with....anyway after a month i decided i should get some fish to you know eat the mozzie babies born in the water.... some fish jumped out and died...and some when missing...so i buy another 10...started with 10 i might add...well......when i woke up i had mould and it was taking over i didnt want to tip the fish and mouldy water down the drain...im not a killer you know....so i bought a nice fish tank....and another 10 fish...as a few had ummm...disappeared....and i gave away the fountain to my condo manager.... In the end i had 23 fish off various varieties in this tank and it's mesmerising to watch them swim around.....a few days in notice A a few fish are missing so i started counting from that day B one fish in WCE jumper...a yellow one looked pregnant, at first i got excited to think i might get some free fish....2 other fish were following it round....i decided this guy was the culprit so caught him and ....well put him down the drain.... ps i did google the problem....they claim fish will eat other fish.... But fish kept disappearing.....in the end im down to 4 fish......well this week....3 of the same variety who are small.....and one orange yellow one...almost twice the size who i suspected of bing the cannibal....now one of the 3 as i bought 4 of them disappeared like 2 weeks ago, they always stayed close together while big orange was darting around the tank...... This morning go to feed them and big orange is no longer in there....i had been waiting to see who was going to be the last fish swimming around and stick it down the drain....but now im rocked...like i expected it to be big orange.....i take the filter out and clean it just in case it got in there, nope.... Ive blown about 10,000B on the god dam fountain, fish tank, and fish and im over it....fountain is gone.....anyone want 3 fish and a tank?

cant loose then can i?

My first for the year.... Pies were done in the 3rd....them footy commentators had the Pies doing a Lazarath right up to 10 min to go and 30 plus points down... After 10 straight goals Pie players had BEATEN all over their faces.....they the commentators friggin annoyed me....talk about only one team on the ground... Hardwick showed you how to beat them Tigers just didnt have the players to do it but i thought had a go all night... Anyway the GF is played at the G....got to win more than a few on the road...

Not a draw sir.....my crystal ball shows a team with white in the jumper will win... Ps i was very nervous last week.....only got to relax in the last quarter.....i was bobbing around on the sofa for most of the game....Frankies got a bit dirty hey?

Friday Funnies on Thursday.. Disclaimer.....this post is purely bullocks and not intended to be anything else since I'm bottom of the tipping ladder... Lazy Lions in Brisbane this evening.......did they fix the lights? Pies will fly in oooooozing confidence not seen since 1990, well to fix things they got to get misfiring Daniher firing, best thing that ever happened to the Daniher family and Essendon was the fella moving north...now no one at that club to compare him too....like legends uncle Neal and uncle Terry, i recall Terry, scruffy fella at centre half, was a hero, could do things that this bloke cant, Neal was coach of the hapless Demons after career cut short before that a stint at Essendon and Freo as an assistant, the word got out that that Neal was good on the pc and had made some programs that were useful to AFL teams so Demons wanted to be 3rd in line to get for free so hired him for 9 ys, Neal loved his players too much and that brought him undone....i was ready to call his day as early at year 7...but he had his critics early on just like Simon....difference was we got pumped in the only GF Neal got us into.....Anyway im sure Fagan has put a cracker up their backside so it should be a good game to watch today.....home devils away angles.... North vs the Blues....the honeymoon is over for Fj, Blues going about it in a quiet way, getting the notches on the barrel of the gun, doing it quietly, the hysteria will whip up in a few more weeks when there sitting around 2cd or 3rd....meanwhile Clarko will realise his magic wand is running low on battery power....no fast charging available at that antique stadium, gonna have to get the players to take it in turns to power the club with one @ a time peddling the stationary exercise bike modified to power the power points and lights at the club...all down hill from here mr Fj....what was it? March premiers? Crows vs Freo....in Crowland...since ive reported that i dont see Freo doing much this year....you already know what i think......teams that just turn it on here and there might look good on the telly but they dont get to September... Machiavelli Tigers (well once) vs Scrays....still well coached i think, but gees how bad is Lynch? like how much he on? he look like he plays for the Broom Sharks....Rewalt cant spell his name, worth double his weight in gold....love him to death, would like to see Demons offer him a contract when he retires...for what? no idea just think he brings something to the club...and thats it, not to many after that....Bev? well are the players sick of him? this game will answer that question... Saints vs Suns @ Marvel.....that tree that didnt appear last week says it was sorry and will turn up this week....so who's going to crash into it? Adrenalin is a fine natural drug, Saints on a high high high....i will go for the team that has red in its jumper... Essendon vs GWS @ Marvel......put your money on Hogan for 5, the giant will awake.....wide bodied and monkey like arms....will be the difference no? since its a home game for Bombers they wont be wearing there away jumper....thank god for that... Game of the round, Eagles in WA over the Air sick Demons....cant travel...was shown up in Brisbane a few weeks ago, got lucky last week with Franklin and mate spraying the goal posts to keep us in the game....not to mention May on his belly a few times...WCE and Will get a chance to see future recruit in action....Van Roooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooyan, only fella that turned up for us last week....3 stirring goals, playing a la Jackson role (WHO?) back forward and ruck........they will pencil him in for end of contract and start saving first round draft picks for the kid.....should be worth more than Egg by the way Will.....Much better looking too....has that pretty boy Perth blonde look the girls in Melbourne love....tough game for Demons this week.....can we put our demons to rest and actually win on the road? In the "what ever happened to" game of the round, Cats at home to Hawks....if there ever was a game that the Hawks ever needed dule coaches Kennedy and Jeans on the sideline not to mention 28 year old Mathews and Tuck on the ball its this game....ever seen a nasty cat when you tease it with not giving its food to them>>>>>>>>? i use to tease my mums cat and it scratched me a few times....them claws can go in deep you know... Wow i almost forgot Sydney vs Port up there in harbour town, this really should be the game of the round....both smarting from getting done like dinners last week when more was expected from them......we seen what Port can do after a hiding....and we know Swans dont often loose 2 in a row.....so im going for the team with white in its jumper....If Port should loose do you think Kotch will have his men out there looking for a new coach? im of the mind if Port dont look competitive Kotchie will pull the trigger early to try and save the season.....since im last in tipping you can rest assured im wrong and he will survive and get a new deal mid term....

Wife would have to make herself known and hire a solicitor, costs likely to run in to 100,000's of $ which could come out of the estate if she wins...thats assuming the kids fight it which they would. Law in AU if wife is seen as a legitimate beneficiary would likely obtain equal cut of estate, lot of press in AU over the years when one child cut from a will only to fight it and end up getting a cut. So no she isnt going to get the lot also no guarantee that costs would come out of the estate, if hes worth a lot kids could drag it out for ever, solicitor is likely to ask her for fees up front which is likely to put her off once she realizes the costs of doing business in AU. If i found myself in a position i was dealing with my fathers greedy widow id fight and drag it out, shes going to in-cure a lot of costs before there is a resolution hopefully that will do the trick.

When is a fool a fool? when you leave Brighton to take on the Chelsea job is when....Potter SACKED over night joins Frank and Gerald and a few more....mind you Southhampton didnt get better there still last Everton still in relegation territory, in fact most of the clubs that bulleted out there coach haven't done to much so.....Conte anyone? if you play FM23 you quickly learn how clubs have unrealistic demands....just took a team out of Seria B to A bring in a few over the hill veterans on Free's to help keep us up ( got a pultry transfer budget that even Melbourne Victory would struggle with) and club is now expecting us to win the Italian cup and Finnish on top of A....games mimic real life.... To be half fair to Graham hes had more written about him this season than his entire life....the other guy who was taking up valuable space was Conte....he knew how to get sacked and go home....and still get paid.... Jose? well year 3 is coming up which is a toxic year, Conte is normally a year 3 casualty as well... Who will be the first AFL coach on Madam Guillotine? im tipping a few will go this year......Simo....Bev, if Freo stay bottom 6 add him....Dewie might need to make finals....and Ken......is looking down the barrel again....pressure mounting....expect a Koch spray sometime soon....

Hope when i win a week i get a Pollywaffle.... I make better coffee at home sir.....well what can we say the Saints keep on keeping on....wish i had the confidence to pick them....i did have the Hawks picked by the way but after listening to Dunstall he convinced me they weren't going to win a game this year.....normally i dont change my picks but being at the foot of the table i needed some divine guidance....well were not listening to Dunstall again are we.... Lance.....dont know....think he was worth his place in the team, he was all over May like leprosy if he had of kicked straight along with the dark guy it could have been different.......

I must be one of the few who thought the Tigers played well....i wanted to watch that game just to see how the Pies operate, thought Hardwick did a good job to stifle there game play, which was man on man in defence and around the wall within a kick arch while between defence and ball played a zone... Lack of pedigree players was the result not from lack of planning, Pies on a high but i didnt think convincing played like a well drilled machine, they have there flaws that better sides will expose and the season goes on, every one is all in on MCray, its not rocket science...

now now.....bad kicking is bad football and there was plenty of Tiger pressure especially in defence.... Tigers mostly checked there man on man and peeling off running to space from centre to goal square, Pies defiantly on a high as everything they do turns to gold there well drilled and have an ability to know where there team mate is but the luck will be running thinner as the season progresses.... Seems to me you need the cattle of course to match but man on man where the ball is in a 70m arch then a screen zone with defenders standing on offenders toes....simple maths men...pressure = turn overs with guys playing in that zone rebounding and even creating the loose man...hope your reading this Simon...

The lord looked down from upon the mountain.......and so it came to pass...12 fishes not enough for the Tigers...close yes....showed how to play the Pies.....i was rooting for ya.... Hardwick took the fear out of playing the Pies for the other 15 teams who could match them......thank you Rinnieeeee....

Friday's Funnies on Thursday....... Well what did we learn last week? or i, i should say, seems most of the gang including veteran cellar dweller Fj in TV tipping are well up on it this year. Home ground will be even more important except for when the law of averages kicks in this year.... One instant black coffee no sugar has been put down....yes im back to that muck....a real coffee around 11 i will have, me the old fella now has some gut issues and that expresso bongo double i like is like now once in a while...i do make an awesome cappuccino using an Aeropress........advantage is over a good coffee machine is it makes a less stronger cup plus its portable and easy to travel with. Yep i got 3 milk frothers...was experimenting.....all easy and good....so good i struggle to want to have a coffee when out these days, back in Melbourne with all the "expert" coffee shops springing up around condo towers and renovated factory areas and $15 for a bit of cake, yep had one of them so called cafes near a job i was on, the job never seemed to end, almost every day there were god dam changes, use to dread the morning meetings between owner and builder... in inner city Melb, parking was an issue too.....got any idea what its like to carry your gear 200m? then your always in the back of the tool box for stufff.....when the job was finished said owner came to me during a short visit to adjust something mentioned the cost blow out and asked me why was it so, mind you she had been an executive and manager so i thought she might be a bit cleaver, when i said.....i use to dread her meetings with my builder that changes we almost a daily occurrence.....and every time she made a change the cash register began pinging plus 20%.....her mouth dropped...penny too....i kid you not, my head use to spin when i was on that job... What ive learned getting a coffee in Thailand is.....them coffee shops at petrol servo's along the highway particulay heading towards CM make great coffee....at Starbucks you order the small china cup for cappuccino always state clearly "china cup? they will try and stick an American paper cup in front of your, i use to say to them im Australian we drink out of china cups every time...trying to educate the natives....Bucks recon they do ( add more coffee to a bigger cup) but i kinda think its minimal and lets face it your telling people who drink cold green muck tea etc they wouldnt know anything about coffee....Amazon coffee? learned to order the big china cup cause its god dam strong my theory where they dont change the coffee measurement is reinforced here because its now drinkable....along the highway yesterday i clearly ordered a china mug and was given a paper mug and i was drinking instore, felt like throwing a wobbly, i did....one time @ a Bucks store in BKK got a tuna sandwich with the coffee...can you believe they stuck it in the microwave? i did throw a wobbly.....having learned Thais stick everything in a microwave (long ago) if ordering a pastry thats not savoy i specify "serve cold" well i took it back to the counter about 30 people in store and top of my voice said "who friggin heats up a tuna sandwich?" Hushed tones soon followed...left it there for them.....short time later they replaced it... Dogs at home to the rampant Lions...Luke im thinking wont see out the season, the players looked like they're all down the coast on vacation.......with surf boards and guitars camping out on some ocean beach near Lorne.....where did it all go wrong? well trading Slacky Hunter was one of them......plz take him back... Pies @ the G against the Tigers....Cox and Martin out...well get use to it Time Machine.....if he fronts for 12 games this year you won the lottery...Pies got a few injuries this is the best time to hit them and Hardwick even yesterdays hero still has a few tricks in his back pack.....warning warning Magpies.... Hawks in Tassie with the Super Roos......spite and jealousy are emotions that stem from low self esteem and they will take you down, whom am i talking about here? On performance there is a clear winner, so there is a hot favourite....but the law of averages should kick in here... Giants vs Blues.....Well i think Vossie will keep the wheelie bin wheels moving one more week...but hey it's not a given....2 gun mids back in for Kingsley, watched Hogan for a quarter last week....use to be able to slot them in easy, what ever Freo payed us for him now seems like we got a bargain... Saints vs Bombers, not a lot between them....Bombers look like they may be the big movers this season, Lyons romantic return to hit a tree this week....playing on adrenaline can only take you so far... Port vs Crows......well id give the Crows a good chance this week if Port had not been thrashed last week...Crows better once they hit inside 50, will Tex stand and deliver this week? Neither side can afford the loss expect a Custers last stand here men... Suns vs Cats.....what a time to pick off the reining premiers even if it's been done twice already...you wouldnt give the Suns a cracker would you? Dangerfield and Hawkins (no pre season) are down down down...Cameron playing is cloudy, if he does is likely carrying and injury, battered and bruised with confidence sitting in their boots Cats with backs to wall...can Dewie do it? go Dewie.... Demons vs Swans @ the G......... well big news in is Jacob van Rooyen who will be on the radar of WCE very soon is playing...Freo having given up there soul for the next few years wont be able to afford him, Jackson is looking lost in that Freo team i wonder why? Rooyen (something of a Jackson clone) should play back up to Al Bundy and forward i imagine, with large spells on the bench, Bad mood May is back who should bring some leadership along side Leaver who has been playing very well i might add to that dysfunctional back 6, Petty will feel invincible now May is back, its looking like Simon will keep playing them no hopers (eyes rolling in sockets) so im expecting a tight defence but going forward....well....Lance on one leg is back in too, Swans did us easy last year so with below average inside 50 % .....Swans its put down your glasses.....in a canter......pressure will mount on Simon, team is playing like they joined Footscray down at Lorne beach... Freo vs Eagles.....that pitt just keeps getting deeper....id say there is a silent revolt going on at the docks....giving up draft capital, paying overs for a freshman, trading out disgruntled players who were dam good...Eagles should do it no?

North looked good....the big telly shows Clarko has got pudgee.....and now wears a 3XXX t-shirt....cant afford to dress your men better down there? You will be smiling for another week.....go North and Saints.....
