Uncle Alex

 

Gatto and his underworld friends were called the Carlton Crew.

It's a decent read.

 

Last King of the Cross was a terrific read.

I'm only a non fiction reader also.

 

I can get quite  few ebooks for free.

I put them onto to Calibre and then transfer them to me tablet.

 

Let me know f you need anything before buying and I'll have a look for you.

They call it Black Monday in the US its the day they fire coaches from the NFL, well most are jettison with in an hour after the game hence my reference to blood on the gates as there leaving....

 

I picked it.... him i surly did....Broncos Vic Fangio was wooooooshed out the door after 3 years....poor guy had to contend with a rookie QB only to end up benching him and bring in a journey man who is at best just above average on his good days.......Well poor old Vic did say on the day of his appointment that he was taking over the team John Elway built....poor John....back to back super bowls as QB with the Broncos and god it must have been years as CO weren't much good but they did mange to win one Super Bowl in that time, mostly average, and one of my teams i might add....and not unexpected....

 

3 others so far.......no real surprises......2 during the season......Jon Gruden Raiders was forced to quit his most lucrative job as  coach with something like a 10 year deal under his belt for being rather rude in emails etc about ....well other people and women....unfortunately most of that was from around 5 to 8 ys ago  but hey the past does have a way of catching up with you...And Urban Meyer...with a name like that .......well a highly regarded collage coach who when you looked into his career had stress related issues....though he did very well with the 3 collage teams he coached....but quit at least 2 over stress.....took over the basket case Jaguars with pick 1 hot shot Trever Lawrence as starting QB in his rookie year....well Urban...cant get over that name......got up to a misdemeanour, not setting a good example around mid season...and well.....never really recovered, was rather rude to staff....it was reported and apparently kicked the punter in the leg and called him well something not really nice....and thats whats been reported....the Jag owners robbed the bank to sign Urban and he left with several pick up trucks full of money after a short time in Jacksonville.....

 

Its a sad day that Washington did not make the play offs...and its been reported Red Wolves or Wolves will not be there new name/emblem....lot of problems with rights that say so its going to be something disgusting....i for the life of me dont know why we have to pander to the natives.... 

 

Browns were more miserable than Washington, at least the skins wont 4 games in a row...gees it was hard watching NFL this year....Browns just hiccupped all year long, yes Baker was all banged up the rest of them had quite a few off days as well...be interesting to see what heads roll in Cleveland....

 

Bills were looking like "who's going to beat us" early on then came back to the pack...eventually winning the division over the NE Patriots who came in a close second.....Bills need another year i think and so do the Patriots....

 

My tip is  Rodgers and Green Bay will Knock off Tom 12Brady and the Bucks for there division and play the Rams in the big one...

In some sensational news coming out of Corvid City The Demons sheila's team Pride jumper has been revealed....pretty dam nice i think, the rainbow under the red yoke and between the Navy looks rather nice, considering 3/4 of all them women who play the footy game are either butch or gay i recon the Pride jumpers should stay...

 

Jack Darling standing out, been told to go train in the park....on your own....he is an anti vaxer men....wont this break Eagle supporters heart if he does not relent and get jabbed not to mention the millions of mula hes going to be missing out on....think some eastern state clubs welcome his stance but really in this day and age...well we all saw what happened to the Donkey Dockavic....Scott threw him out of the country and Serbia are ready to go to war with us....that will be pretty hard as there a land locked nation with no navy.......mind you he wont be able to play in France in around march for Grand Slam event no2......kiss the records good by Donkey.....and talking about them anti vaxers WA has shut out the rest of the nation again....they think we in the east care......we dont.....nope.....easier for me to go to Thailand than WA, more things to do in Cairns than Perth......and easier to get to, i do have a soft spot for Perth of course, its where we won the flag....but....we are not riddle with the plague over here.....gees....

 

De Goey, better known as Goofy, is allowed to train with the gang again, as they managed to water down all the charges from his experiences in NY, would have set him back a years salary, one of the stipulations that the Pies have on his return is Jordan needs to get down and grovel with the down and outs, its mandatory if he wants to stay at the club that he is doing permanent part time work with the Salvos.....i can just see him in the back of the ware house going through all the donated clothes and getting them ready for sale or the rag bin, not to mention cleaning donated glasses and crockery sets....when you act like a low life you need to be working as a low life.....well thats harsh as most of the workers donate there time.....but its good for the soul.....manual hard work....only trouble is there is a block between the ears, surgeons have looked but cant seem to dislodge the concrete like gell stuck there.....hope Jordans mate joins with him to you know.....shake off the deeds of misfortune and trouble that seems to flow them around the globe.....

 

Well i subscribed to Paramount + which is another of the 2 million streaming services going around....casue they have the rights to the Aleague, only $8 a month and its a rip off if ur not into soccer......well i tuned in last weekend and blow no game.....looked at the app....yes a game was seconds from starting.....god dam the torpedos...the Melb City game was showing but not Victory....friggs.......so as you do i fired off an email to there customer service, here i might add when i had issues with the NFL i got a reply pretty quickly.....Netflix once too.....but Paramount? hahah what its like 6 days later....NOTHING.....anyway annoyed i looked at the Aleague app again and noticed the game had been postponed.....hahaha but hey.....what happened to customer service?

 

A top German women handball club discovered cameras in the changing rooms......2.....last year another German women handball club found 3 cameras in there change rooms.....lot of kinky Germans if you have watched porn....anyway they have a suspect and has been stood down...so they must have the evidence.....

 

In Great news but we have to wait till 2023 when Sir Elton John will be 76 he will retire from well i assume touring and hopefully recording, says hes ready to do something else.....thats funny i think.....like we all know they come back for reunion tours and well Jack Farnham has been doing it for years like all of them over the hill's and not to forget Cold Chisel and gees all of them...they never retire...to many old people stuck with head-in sand....never want to grow up and keep spinning the hits of there era.....now on digital and there phones.....Anyway Honky Cat i still like, first 4 LPs were good then the slow decent to the pitts of a bottomless pitt so dark and murky there......You know i was still buying the odd song from Apple and some Cuban Music website....but the feet are firmly stuck in the sand now....i will no longer pay for music....have to say Bookman reminded me of youtube and the music vids as he is a freeloader big time, no comparison too bro in law the pirate here, as his whole retired life is now centred around downloading any thing on film he can get his hands on for free.....gees if the law ever found out he would be up for 400 years in prison....since im in the process of downsizing to 2 suite cases and thats hard work, im donating a few 1T hard drives too his endeavours....I stop being a pirate when i realised i wasnt watching anything......and streaming like Spotify dried up most of the progressive stuff around so all you get in Pirate bay is  Abba and the Rolling Stones. Anyway and thanks Book's since i have much time on my hand i been ripping music vids to Mp3 and the site i use allows for setting the bit rate higher.....thanks be to the one up high, well you need to do a lot of detective work and spend hours at it but you can get some obscure stuff....its around, out for a walk today took the headphones and listened to the Reggaton fused latin Beats i got recently....sometimes you find easy and sometimes it takes time.....

 

Newcastle United, linked with just about every player playing in Europe....ummm...there playing better but cant defend, yeah there looking for 2 centre backs and want a midfield as well....brought 1 striker and one right back and they have made a difference now linked to Man Untied Jess Lingard, seems they want him out of the building, wont play him and at first didnt want to sell him, now says he has to go, with 2 top 4 clubs keen in West Ham And Hotspurs... no...you cannot go there.....they say we are not selling you to any top 4 clubs in the Premier League, so its Newcastle or the reserves....seen today they have bids in for 2 stickers and a left back....plus its almost a done deal for Carlos Deigo something like that a CB from Seville everyone is creaming over....who they did not want to sell and held out....till the player who was going to triple his pay had a word and bingo......Anyway they play Leeds this week....i seen last weeks Leeds game winning 2-3 and the only reason WH got close is cause there a good team....NU have got there hands full this weekend, Leeds still hit hard with injury and corvid are better than there position on the ladder.......no doubt NU will get players in and there going to have to beat some good teams, unless they can get on a hot run they only have Watford who look like they could go down....

Honestly its so ridiculous i cant laugh...as its pure and utter bullocks in every possible way....you know not only do you move your body overseas you have to with just 2 suite cases as they stitch you up every step of the way but once over seas hotmail and gmail lock you out if you dont set up some sort of <deleted>, well they wont send emails to each other learned that, and back in the old days you needed to be a Saudi prince to afford your phone bill etc well i learned and so the start of changing and updating email and OMG passwords which are meant to be kept in your tiny brain so know one will find out is now written in your address book because every god dam thing you log into wants an email and password...and the password has to be this or that......like i keep say around half a dozen stock passwords that are glued to my brain so i cant forget ...but today when i updated my thai visa email they wouldnt accept one of my stock passwords, says it was too weak, mind you 2 capitals a number of lowercase and a number so like "hey" thai visa is not fort knox and there isnt much value here when we are all hiding behind alias....OMG....

 

What really took the cake a couple of years ago was getting caught out with an out of date Myki card...public transport swipe on and off ticket men for you who been away too long and think its Melbourne centric and was a basket case for years before it got going.....well i hopped down to the station and go the paper work and info and logged on line to create an account so they could remind me and send out a new card when time was up....but boy....the password....you would not believe......seriously my internet banking log in password would not be enough for Vic rail and public transport people....the rubbish i had to come up for them to approve it...i kid you not all for a crappy 20$ tap and go card...ho why did i need a train tap and go card? well if you owned a Mini Cooper S and Ford Pick up.....you would need a transport ticket....both pure rubbish....was so glad to see the back of the Ford drive away late last year.....and got an extra grand for it thanks corvid and chip shortages....the Mini was given away in a trade in 4 years ago...no regrets either....

 

Well the Telstra AFL app is on vacation.....my lappie has all the details on file here but to no avail it wouldnt allow me to enter to change my email etc...so who ever is going to do the tipping will have to just print out the details as im unlikely to get them.....ho and that email i used for tipping is used for a few other things and well....hotmail think have banned me cause hardly ever go there...something like that....and no this laptop is not coming to Thailand with me...the new supersonic M1 MacBook should soon be in my hot hands worth as much as a cargo ship full of crude and gold more powerful than a Ferrari v12 ,16 inches of pure power......can jump tall buildings....i would have preferred the 14inch but there is massive upgrade of battery life in the 16.....they claim something like 17 hrs which in real terms means around 10 to 12....im happy with that as im always plugging them in....like always....or do i just loose track of time? well that Window gamer is meant to get a decent battery life.....if Football Manger can suck the life out of it in 2 hours well i think less actually.....i have it connected all the time to a power point, just dont last long....anyway im having second thoughts selling the gamer for 1/4 of what i payed for it and its just a year old, thinking to lug it on the plane with me....they should be more tolerant if i treat myself to Business class dont you think? Well just once in my life......the iPad and 16" of power will slip into my carry on the brut windows job is a carry on....which reminds my why i decided to use tablets for traveling....the old Dell lemon lugged it a few places overseas after the third flight went and bought a tablet...

Well we wake to rock icon and all round nice guy who did time for tax evasion and Johnnys mate Glen Wheatley dead at 74...ho dear time is catching up to us...of corvid complications, well this might be the end off Farnham's never ending retirement concerts so thats a good thing i guess....well i did like him in LRB, anyway....

 

The Russians are coming....and of course the USA is not listening.....hey boys to avoid a tank roll over of the Ukraine all you have to do is promise not to put missiles there which by the way is why the Russians stuck them missiles in Cuba back in 1962 the US of course didnt tell the world they stuck a number of nuclear capable missiles in Turkey aimed at Moscow just before....and of course they didnt tell the world that to get the Russians to take there missiles home from Cuba the US would take them out of Turkey which they did and of course Kennedy looked like a hero getting the Ruskies to step down.....ho and the other sticking point is Ukraine to never be allowed to join Nato....and i think thats fair enough.....other wise there are going to be a lot of cold bums in Europe for the next few winters when the Russians turn off the gas.....A comedy do you think? id do.....pretty simple diplomacy i thinks....

 

Its really hard to think the the finacial markert's as in stock market's go all watery at the knees so easy....like we seen in the last few years the Trump attack on China with tariffs  and 2 Corvid meltdowns of the markets now with people jumping out the windows as there stocks crash with it to only recover a few months later....i as a suspicious person have always been sceptical of unusual things....i do believe the markets are ummm got at......you know peoples play things, manipulating it to go up and down like a yo yo....like how could them brokers stay in business if there weren't big sell offs and buy backs....anyway as you get older the more you want to live in a cave and kiss the world good-bye.....like there isnt much to look forward to is there?

 

A new Thai friend who is rather ummm kinda hot and knows it......on learning off my impending move there suggested i buy a Hua Hin pool villa, im sure she could see herself around the pool in her little bikini and of course in her name......also suggested i buy a Ford Everest, i learned this is a throw back of her aspirations with ex Euro hubby, who left her for a bar girl so she says, like do i believe that? i do hear some outrageous stories from some of these girls you know, thats what you get if your in dating sites men.....like 99.9% always claim "he had another woman/women" like they never contributed to the demise of there relationship did they? nor did they ever root around and with one i pointed out that these men are having affairs with women who some are married and or have boyfriends....did not go down well......pure like the virgin Mary.....ho i now know how the virgin Mary got pregnant, the ET's did it.....genetic modifications of humans, anyway when she mentioned the Ford i immediately thought of Fj, told her in polite terms Ford is not something i would like to put my money on, she quickly followed up with Fortuner....well i use to like but Toyota styling is at the moment a lot like ET's out of this world.....when i mentioned D Max i got a ummm..... wouldnt go well in the drive way of the Pool Villa rolling across her face....might have surprised her i had the next few years well planned out.....think she is not use to a guy who dont melt in here presence, so yeah she's pretty good after a few vid calls.... once she realises i have no desire to keep her in the life style she got use to before she had to go back to working for a living after ex turned the tap off....well i notice she is still active in the site...so you know she i think doesn't think to highly of me anyway......

 

Another recent addition to line then blocked a few weeks later a rather nice 45 year old self made well thats if you can believe the story, sending vids or pics of her pretty self to me every few days and we did have a few long  vid calls.....i call this the screening process....especially if they keep instigating these vid calls as with the hottie above, me just one vid call is enough to verify im talking to flesh and bones that looks like there pictures....anyway out of the blue one morning last week i get...."you are paranoid of thai women" like a BOMB, where did that come from...and mind you her english was around that of a 6 year old....paranoid? now some farang has obviously said that to her....i said hey thats a strong word, do you know what it means? deathly silence.....followed......anyway i was starting to get some higher than normal hope for this one, after that i waited for an apology which was silly of me as we all know women do not understand sorry or apology in real time.....i added "your mixing me up with your other men dear" anyway i gave hr 24 hrs to you know say sorry, well because she had grown on me, she was delisted the next day, blocked.....bon voyage.......someone else can deal with her.....

 

Ning was the girl above, Mo was just before and run for a while concurrently, and a fit 32, profile said Chon Bury i normally shy away from any place close to Pattaya men, anyway she claimed to have a uni education so i thought i was safe.....turns out Mo had moved back to Isaan and it seems it was due to a break down and now i see a meltdown of a relationship, probably with but dont really know a free and easy farang from the near by sea side city, well she worked in government so it made sense that she was up somewhere close to the Mekong river, she did say enough early on for me to pick up she got screwed over badly in the demise of that relationship....now i always give myself a few years off after a break up and i wish women would too, but asian women do seem to just jump right back in 2 days later.....Mo wanted me to send her some pics of me....i never do unless seen on a vid call first..so a few days later she instigated a call....wasnt moving didnt talk turned off quickly thought i bombed....but she kept it going....then about 3 weeks later i get......."you dont send me pics"  i said you didnt talk or move, need to do a vid call again dear.....then the flood gates of every crappy relationship screw over she ever got came upon a flooding of me....she was very mean men.....to me....i was taken back by how nasty she got....just because i didnt trust her and send her a few pics......she reminded me of some Aussie women just before i decided to go asian.....in asia....so you know there there too....the screwed up ones...just younger and prettier........sometimes a bit easier to deal with.....but not always.......Kiki just popped into my mind.....ho my, she was hard work.....

 

Well to be honest ive had a hard month....so sitting at home feeling miserable i delve in the site....im pretty sure i got Omicron doctor seemed to confirm it yesterday 2 weeks of that an aggressive flu for me and still getting sore throat and now back pains just before going to bed....then a gut flare up that resurfaced and knocked me out for a few days as well and need antibiotics for, i had switched off my account as really i have enough good long term and new contacts and im not greedy and its happened to me before if you have too many to meet you cant keep up and they do get peed off....some i just want as friends.....ive been working on Windcheater girl to allow me to stay over during the week as she tends to crowed me on weekends....like she will come over and stay and stuff up my weekends.....which most of the time is fine as im not a rager anymore....but having the option of calling her and saying hey meet you after work for dinner....then staying over at her place is more agreeable to me......finally found out why she has resisted for so long.....she has a very good personality an infectious person,  everyone knows her type....she grew up in the building she said.....everybody knows her.....gossip is her concern....im chipping away, told her if  im the only guy your bring home....whats the big deal......hahaha....there all virgins arnt they.....

 

Well Melbourne has had a decent summer so far...though its cold in my shorts today....i wont miss our  sun, 34 and its OMG you cant go outside sort of thing......

Don't worry about the dating sites Alex.

If your going with a pool,i'd be looking for a female poololigist to do 3 days a week.

Fit her out in a demons outfit and your good to go.

 

Hey once they get in the front door they won't want to leave, already had several offers of them moving in.....i got myself into a sticky pickle trying to appease Miss On over that, and wind cheater girl was rather pleased when i teased id live with her, no sir i like my space.....but maybe in time....

 

And your been married to long, the normal go is move in with your farang and let him foot the bill for everything....some will even talk about giving up there job so they can keep your 40 sq m condo clean for you....takes me 1 hr twice a week but i learned Thais are not very efficient they dedicate a whole sunday to cleaning there room.....and there exhausted when done that they have to lay down during and at end......

Nice work Uncle Alex.

 

Look after yourself mate.

I assume/hope you've had your booster.

Yes i got my booster after corvid, i was booked to get the booster right at the time i came down with it, like i know Omicron is catchy but gees i tend to shop when the crowds are not around stay away from people best i can and mask goes on when ever im around strangers.....

 

In Bad news today the Washington Football team announce there new name.....The Commanders and it goes down like a ton of lead already been called the Commies.....gees them native Americans have got a lot to answer for.....The Skins were my first team and main team from the NFL......im guttered.....

 

TB12 Tom Brady has retired.......44 went to a superbowel on average every second year of his 22 year career winning 7....The Broncos up for sale....4 billion is expected price tag.....

 

Newcastle United get reinforcements blowing a cool 100 million pounds, all eyes on Eddie Howe now.....

 

Ange cant spell the rest of his name, ex Socceroo coach has won over Celtic supporters, like they were all mystified when announced.....as manager, most Scotts never heard of Australia or Japan.....live in the fish bowel off Glasgow....and just know enough of the territory to get from home the pub and the football ground....second, 4 points behind Rangers with there Japanese striker winning them over....so much so Ange brings in i think 2 maybe 3 more Japanese players....there all hari kari there now......Rangers pulls a rabbit out of the hat....after loosing there manager to Aston Villa they secure Aron Ramsey on loan from Juv.....will he be the general that stops Ange and Celtic?

 

And in startling news yesterday some well to do Thai stopped in front of Central world got out of his merc let a few snakes out of a bag and did some sort of voodoo dance while slashing himself.....cops took him to the hospital....should have been to an asylum or prison....apparently he has pulled a similar stunt before.....a few years ago....nothing like free publicity to get your business booming again....

 

Frigging cold in Melbourne again today, in trakkie dakkies heater on and gees wish i was in BKK.....

Suffering.....do you know what its like to suffer? i recall that Newcastle United supporter i met in BKK once....they won yesterday and easy over Frankies new team Everton, its the time of the underdog....all black and grubby dogs are howling at the moon....yes sir...

 

Well the history of the Demons is such that a curse was well and truly delivered in 1965, the Norm Smith curse, after a record run of everything they started a record run of rubbish....only the Saints and Dogs to match maybe....debatable, if it wasnt for the AFL we might be gone baby gone.....and after 50 years of misery i would have been happy to see the back of them...i was all for the Hawks merger, of course the Demons toyed with the idea of merging with both the Lions and Dogs at one stage but hey we stunk and they knew it....

 

I use to venture forth to the G and watch weeks after weeks of well <deleted>.....seen them get there back sides walloped by a record margin by the Lions at Arctic Park, that was a sad day....not believing them to be so bad as you do turned up the following week against the Bombers only for our Walters to kick the first 5 and us 7 in a row in the first quarter before they answered  with a goal at the end of the first quarter, well after that they just hung there you know not going forward and not going back just holding the margin....Big Carl D was playing coach that day and showed a lot of ......well Muscle....running around with elbows high knocking heads off....so the rest of the team didnt feel threaten such pussys we where....

 

Lot of excitement when Ron B was made coach, he did come 3 years too soon....little is known he set us up from a distance....he got the Demon board to revamp as  condion of his return Jordan came a year earlier an under 19's mastero from North, Rons right hand man....a few decent players from North had started to arrive too....but they were the only decent players....we had.....recall Barss yelling out from the coaches box once when Giles fell like he always did out illustrious half back flanker that actually made the state team once or twice....blonde and hunsum you couldnt miss him...guaranteed to fall over in tackle......he not only frustrated Ron ......i went to a practice game in the pre season and i noticed not one Demons supporter would go near Ron during the breaks....scared..you bet....super coach at the time.....known to get moody in a flash....Ron was smiling and happy looking enough but nope no one went near him...i thought that was so strange...me you ask? nooo i dont do things like that ever, i normally ignore celebrities .......just one time with petie young ex wife who was in la la land over Bert Newton we found ourselves standing next to him so i said hello....this im sure made her feel all warm and wet......ho and for sons sake we once found our selves sitting 2 seats away from Kevin Sheedy so for the sake of my son i said hello and he a real sport shook my sons hand and said some kind words...then i said to him hey take it easy on us next week....

 

Northey was the man...but when he got the job it was "who?".....thanks to Ron he got a decent set up..... mister no nonsense and no personality dry as a Melbourne February day....but could he coach, was able to elevate a corpse....and get them on the wings...and kick goals....lot of the details are beginning to become foggy these days men...but under Northey we managed to make the finals for the first time in 21 years.......mind you it was just 3 or 4 years earlier we had only won one game the entire year and that was at Footscray on pretty much the last kick of the day....so fitting as it was Northeys men winning at Footscray over Footscray in the last game off the season to toss them out and replace them with us.....we rolled on to the prelim.......then that fateful classic that is history now....young Irish dude in Jimmy Stynes runs across the mark giving the Hawks a 50m and every one knew Bucanarra could slot them from anywhere from the 50m line and he did.....last kick of the day to end the romance of a finals return.....

 

Jimmy im ever so critical of when he pretty much was president when we did the slide.....may be the fact he had cancer was a factor, having that dill Gary Lyon get involved with finding a coach...oh dear....Needle....yes...though to be honest the club was a basket case by then....Jimmy is and was about the best player i have ever seen play....helped he never got injured and if he did got over it very quickly think he still holds the games record for not missing a match......there were a few games there you wondered how he could play the next week after getting injured in a game ...but Jimmy never got injured early in game...never...and most of the time played through and with it...played at 98% octane all the time.....was so consistent it was unbelievable, of course he along with Teasdale revolutionised the ruck game becoming running and mobile big men....

 

Goodwin.....well i though he would be good early, i dont have that much confidence in him even now....but i promise not to bag him this season....well he got a flag now....shut up i will and hes going to be around for at least 4 more years so you know.....hope Choco hangs around.,....im sure he is one of the keys....Was fitting that we finally won a flag over Footscray....the Dogs...back in 1954 or 53 they beat us in our first run at GF's and they been having a a party  every few years and inviting us to attend to that solitary GF win....so 2016 was a relief......they can now invite someone else....and 2021 well we can now invite them....Historic moments seem to happen against the Dogs....and the Pies.....think we have beat them something like 6 times in Gf maybe more....Will 13 be unlucky? history shows no....Blues , Pies and Tigers moved on in quick succession.....so we will see.....do we go forward or do we slide like the 1980 Tigers did.....

 

For you guys its almost valentines day...again i get to save a few hundred dollars.....hahaha....

 

Songkran to be canceled if corvid numbers hit 30,000 ummm....so funny....happy to let in infested tourists that wont wear masks as most of them are bullet proof 20s....going to the latest full moon party, some YouTuber i like to watch went to the last one....showed the beach in day time then came back evening....well not sure what the attraction is you know.....they play really <deleted>tyyyyyy music....and the beach isnt that wide and not so pretty and well drink prices are kinda outrageous as well....and like its not even easy to get to....

 

And talking about beaches .....really im spoilt.....no beaches ive seen in Asia come close to Aussie beaches.....even St Kilda beach beats anything ive seen there....i do have a liking for Hua Hin beach as its the closest thing to an Aussie beach ive seen in Thailand...its long and wide and always has a breeze blowing off the water....

 

https://thethaiger.com/news/national/get-a-covid-test-before-sex-thailands-ddc-recommends-ahead-of-valentines-day the Thaiger is very mgazine like.....though i do sometimes watch there youtube shows, Natty is a spunk, anyway before you lash out on flowers and chocies and dinner for the wife or TGF get tested if test postive like me you will get to save a few hundred dollars....

Well men shades of 1984 came back to me yesterday and no not the book it was the Demons of 84....seen the Blues Demons practice game on youtube, full game too....wish they would dump that jumper...to many bad memories in the lighter blue....

 

Demons fielding 17 premiership players were all over them for the first 5 min....then.....then......shades of 84....couldnt get a kick, take a mark, handball to no one....hey couldnt get near the ball.....Blues race to a what something like a 8 goal lead....making Voss and co looking like champions...that first half was dreeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaadddddddfuuuuuuullllllll.....i started to you know fast forward after quarter time due to the flash backs i was getting.... it will take a decade to loose those memories....

 

Start of the second half was a bit better....just a bit....fast froward a bit more....eventually settled 15 min to go and still way down on the score board....Blues of course were gifted a few generous 50 m penalties one was 100 m....that one was in the first quarter......well how we got to be 4 points down at the end of the game is still a mystery to me....to say the Blues went on anther BIG fade is an understatement but it wasnt from us being better its just .....hey.....we were standing where the ball was going for a change....something like that....

 

Demon TV will have a hard time getting highlights out of that game.....

 

Anyone trying to book a Sha Plus hotel on Booking.com....just forget it.....and you would think that the vigilant staff at some of these hotels would answer your emails wouldnt you....no the whole town has gone to sleep till the end of 2022.....

 

Agoda......they actually list Sha plus hotels and show prices and allow you to book unlike Booking.com....but....dont take any details expect for your money....what a world we live in.....and you think im going to go to Ukraine and fight the Russians....no frigging chance.....
