Mandatory Voting

Published by SJ under General

I don’t care who you vote for in Saturdays election, as long as you don’t vote for the following reasons.

Voting for X because I like his personality better
Voting for X because he deserves a go
Voting for X because he will have an affect on interest rates
Voting for X because my parents are
Voting for X for moral reasons

If you intend voting on any of the above reasons please do the honourable thing and cast a Donkey Vote. You are risking the selection of a government based on absolute NIFF reasons and I suggest that if voting were not mandatory in Australia, you would not be voting.

The only real reason anyone should vote……?

Vote for the party who can promise the cheapest beer.

Leg 1 – Attempt 2

Published by SJ under General

It seems the Indiana Pacers are rather crap at basketball. The 16 leg all up million dollar challenge has hit a snag at the always troublesome first leg. I will need to review the first leg again soon.

Does anyone have a centre bet account out there. I am keen on the $4.35 the Coalition are currently paying in the election. I am not stating a preference for either party at the moment I just have a gut feel that it is a 50% 50% shot rather than a 25% shot.

In lack of an account does anyone want to get me off to a cracking start for
Leg 1 – Attempt 2, by offering one bet at ‘Centrebet’ type odds on the Coalition.

My investment will be $16.00 for anyone interested

The 16 Leg All Up Million $ Challange

Published by SJ under General

If you take $16 multiply and all up multiply it by two sixteen times, you will end up with $1,048,576.00

Quite simple really

Only 16 times to double up….. that doesn’t sound that hard.

The first leg is tomorrow in the NBA, the Indiana Pacers must beat the LA Lakers paying a tidy $2.00 to kick off my first step to ONE MILLION DOLLARS.  I will be happy to hear any suggestions as to what leg two of the challenge should be…

Father’s ain’t Dad’s

Published by SJ under General

As recently stated in the Sydney Morning Herald ’story here‘ a new 2007 study has found 22% of all paternity tests show that the assumed father of a child is in fact not the biological father. I realise these figures slightly elevated due to suspicion being the main motivation for the test in the first place, but it is an alarmingly high percentage.

I am not quite sure what I would do if I found out my 4 year old son was in fact progeny of one (for example only) Kyle Sandilands. Apart from the great joy I would have of tearing this niff limb from limb I would politely ask the cow and said niff for my money back.

What’s the rules on this stuff? Can you bash for biological reasons or is this sort of behaviour best left to the Nazi’s?

Club Waugh 1 – Update

Published by SJ under General

The Fangsta, Mr Gilly and Stakes are High will all run at Wyong this Saturday. At long last we are racing again!

The Fangsta should be a good each way chance in his race but Mr Gilly is really having “warm up” run for longer distances. However, we would expect him to finish off well. Both Mr Gilly and The Fangsta have been training well.

Stakes are High has also been training well but he is probably better suited to racing at the country circuit at this stage. However, because of the different zoning situations still in force in NSW we were unable to enter him for Taree next week and we felt that it was better to give him a run this week at Wyong so that he can be ready to hit the country circuit in two to three weeks time.

Field details will be up on this site a little later in the day.

Through The Field is also training well but he is some way off racing at this stage as he was stranded at the spelling farm when the EI crisis hit and has only been back in training for a short time.

Surviving Melbourne Cup week in a house full of 10 blokes

Published by SJ under General

Tip 1
Don’t buy Oak’s day tickets…. Its for the birds…. literally

Tip 2
Do drink more than everyone else. It gives you unlimited hangover whinging for the next 12 hours. “I am struggling” or “I don’t feel so good” are personal favourites.

Tip 3
TAKE A FREAKING HAT to the cup. Or you may end up looking like ‘Purple Moon’

Tip 4
Don’t spruik about a horse all freaking year long then NOT back it in the cup only to watch the mother win the whole dam thing. This is commonly known in the industry as “Horrendous Darts”

Tip 5
Don’t let your horse run through the running rail. It seems they tend to snap leg bones doing that.

More tips as they come to hand….. you blokes got anything?
