SEND THAT TROPHY OVER NOW

Adelaide last week........St Kilda tonight.............is there anyone left ????
I thought I'd try to redirect the blogs back to real topics. I tune in and get home decoration descriptions from the pseudo academic in Oxford and some huge description of tomato sauce and the equivalent. I'm sure my Uni motto was ' if it can't be grilled or didn't come with batter it's not on' Whilst that approach possibly had long term effects with me too looking a bit on the Lloyd Walker now it was a winner in the 70's

The family have all clocked in and seem ok. Jan is building roof trusses and library storage shelves in Tanzania and is about to have a 3 day break for a safari, Zac is enjoying his swimming / tennis coaching at the jewish Camp America place whilst keeping quiet about his each way bet on Hezbolah and Kate has made it to Houghton for a catch up with former 'we're just good friends' friend ( see earlier blog) Liz is keeping Dad company here having a go at learning to drive with a combo of Dad and a driving instructor. Of course we are differing over what speed people should drive at- and I've never actually recovered from driving Grant somewhere in Gosford and he said " do you want me to walk on ahead and tell them we're coming !!!!!"- but I'm sure she'll be fine.
I was cheering her up with the how many times did you go for your licence Dad routine....which was twice. I vaguely remember Uncle Ash going 4 times but I'm not sure. Any advance on 4 ???

I went for my licence test in Newcastle in a car with a dodgy radio and the inspector had to stick his head under the dashboard to hear race three at Randwick so he didn't see the mounting-the-footpath-and-running-over -the-pedestrian incident. Got it first time but I didn't deserve it. Jan should have a good story to tell when she gets back. West Coast is looking particularly strong this year but look at this weekend's rounds - Carlton beat Melbourne? Anything can happen. David Neitz (Melbourne captain) was one of my students and he told me he had, for inspiration, a picture on his fridge of Joe holding up the world cup with blood running down the side of his head. Prediction: Bulldogs in the final four and WC to win.
