Ok this week se’s the return of the punters club and pits Fatsimon up against Maximus. Both have shown form over the past season so it will be interesting to see where each of them lay the $50.00

I will try and decode both text messages onto the web page tomorrow morning, providing I get them before heading out for a punt myself.

In my opinion an absolute special is running tomorrow that you should indeed “put your house on”. No prizes for guessing it is ‘Takeover Target’. At $1.80 fixed odds, it is about as good as it gets!

Update on the Club Waugh horses

The Fangsta has trained on well and will run in a 1200m race at Rosehill on Saturday December 8.

Mr Gilly has also trained on well and will run in a 1500m Maiden at Rosehill on Saturday December 8.

Not sure where we may be punting tomorrow but if will let you all know if I have advanced enough warning.

I hereby declare my love of Wikipedia. I must admit to hours upon hours of reading articles of varying topics from the invention of the transistor to the Great Pyramid of Giza, further examples as follows.

I recently re-read a topic of great interest to me, after all it was the 44th anniversary of this event last week, the Kennedy assassination.

An official investigation by the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA), conducted from 1976 to 1979, concluded that Oswald assassinated President Kennedy as a result of a probable conspiracy. This conclusion of a likely conspiracy contrasts with the earlier conclusion by the Warren Commission that the President was assassinated by a lone gunman.

An article on UFC 48 (Ultimate Fighting Championship – in laymen terms cage-fighting)

In June 2004, Sylvia returned to face Frank Mir for the vacant UFC heavyweight championship; he lost. Early on in the fight Mir trapped Sylvia’s right arm in an armbar submission attempt. As Sylvia tried to escape the hold, Mir tightened the submission and Sylvia’s radius bone snapped about three inches below his elbow. Referee Herb Dean immediately stopped the fight and declared Sylvia unable to continue. Sylvia took exception to the decision and repeatedly claimed his arm was not broken (though the break could be explicitly seen on the slow-motion replay of the fight), even touching it and moving it around to demonstrate. Later an X-ray confirmed his arm was indeed snapped.

Remind me not to get in a fight with this bloke!!!

and finally….

Although he died in 1982 I have decided to make Carl McCunn the notasmartman of the week.

Carl McCunn was a Texan who, in March 1981, paid a bush pilot to drop him at a remote lake near the Coleen River in Alaska, on the southern margin of the Brooks Range, to photograph wildlife.

McCunn flew in with 500 rolls of film, 1,400 pounds of provisions, two rifles and a shotgun, but had not arranged for the pilot to pick him up again in August. He prematurely disposed of boxes of shotgun shells in the river; used the wrong emergency hand signals to a plane that had spotted him and waved the plane off; and waited too long in the season to attempt to walk out.

In February 1982 Alaska State Troopers found his body, emaciated and frozen as hard as stone, along with a 100-page diary that documented his demise. He wrote “I think I should have used more foresight about arranging my departure.” Rather than starve, McCunn had shot himself in the head.

If you’ve gotta go, you may as well fly out to the middle of nowhere and commit suicide.

The Education Revolution is here! Now all we have to do is figure out what the hell it is. The first promise is a computer for every student. What does this do for them? Sure they will learn how to search for porn at exponential rates but I am not quite sure what it does from a pure ‘education’ perspective. A pencil and paper should still form the main tools of trade for the learning period of a child’s life, shouldn’t they?

The fact that K.Rudd sent his MP’s into class rooms this week to report on what is required to ‘improve things’ indicates to me that the education revolution was nothing more than a catch phrase with no real substance backing it.

Here is a thought K.Rudd, send your MP’s into the hospitals and suburban medical centres and get a report back on what is require to ‘improve things’ here…..

The removal of Work Choices. I am not sure what this will do to me personally? I have never been represented by a union and always had to negotiate working conditions individually. All I know is DHL workers are already threatening to strike if their demands aren’t met soon. A prediction of airline strikes over the Xmas period has also been mentioned to me and would not surprise.

I am also annoyed the Goodna bypass, west of Brisbane will be scrapped. All these rich people who live out on acre ridge in Brisbane’s western ‘leafy’ suburbs have successfully forced the rest of us to endure 7 years of road construction on the Ipswich Motorway (car park) which will also force extra traffic onto other Brisbane thoroughfares. For goodness sakes you bunch of pony riding rich sooksy la la’s, let us build a big arse road around you so we can lighten the load on our already over populated two lane dirt tracks. I can’t believe the number of people who live in Brisbane and the piddley little road system we are forced to endure.

John Howard’s concession speech will remain with me for a long time. Except for the stupid moron cheering annoyingly loud. It was very respectful of the position he has held and accepting of the people’s decision, no matter how stupid it was. I just wished he had thrown in a bit of ‘you can take the boy out of Bennelong but you cant take Bennelong out of the boy’ rhetoric that Keating so ungraciously dribbled after his defeat in 1996.

One thing is for sure, the country won’t fall apart like many Chicken Little’s seem to fear and I suspect our lives will be relatively unaffected.

Ellen DeGeneres (she is a lesbian which enables me to class her as a man)

Recently made a concerted effort to raise money so that police dogs can have kevlar armour protecting (vests) them from being shot. What a stupid bimbo!! There are normal police officers who don’t have protected vests, there are military personnel in Iraq who don’t have protective vests and this absolute cow has the misguided notion that we should put money into saving dogs before people.

Is it me, or are all these animal loving PETA members a bunch of complete NIFFS?

She’s not a smart man, but she knows what wasting money on dogs is…

We missed out on getting Craig Williams home in the jockeys challenge.

I decided to reinvest and started again with the Acacia Ridge trotter at Moonee Valley into Liverpool against Newcastle in the English Premier League. Acacia Ridge duly saluted and the game ended up being a little one sided with Liverpool absolutely dominating Newcastle.

In the end it was easy money. Both legs got up giving us $60.80 to all up into the next leg. Liverpool came in to $1.90 which dropped our overall return slightly.

Warren Buffett says his job is to receive cash and then allocate it…..
I think of myself the same way…. Just a cash register

I have SMASHED Craig Williams in the Jockey challenge. $16 on at odds of $2.80. Hopefully this will kick us off nicely.

If this gets home it will be all upped into Acacia Ridge in race 5 at Moonee Valley trots tonight paying $2.00.

If Acacia Ridge comes in it will be all upped into Liverpool to beat Newcastle in the EPL tonight paying $2.00.

Whilst I am not much of a supporter of the French I am impressed with their jury’s. As per this SMH article a frog leg jury recently sided with 170 KG airline passenger Jean-Jacques Jauffret in his lawsuit against Air France. Apparently, Air France think that if you can’t fit in their miniscule little plane seats you should have to fork out money for more seats. The jury disagreed and awarded Jean Jack Fat some $14,000.00 and a free flight, cop that Air Fag’s.

Heres an idea Air France, have ‘some’ seats for the shrimps of this world and have ‘some’ seats for the taller and thicker people. This rule goes for all airlines…. I am sick and tired of the dwarfs of this world getting all the advantages. Plane’s, Bus’s and Train’s not to mention movie seats and condoms. Its time to take out the trash starting with anyone shorter than 5’8” and lighter than 90kG.

You ok shrimps? You ok mate
