Poor old Mark Webber has crumbled under pressure again. He started in an impressive 2nd position on the grid but on the third corner he was backwards facing on coming traffic on a rain affected Silverstone.
To drown my sorrows I turned to the below awesome strategy game I found recently.
I made it all the way through in record time and would love to see how you kids find it. I really like the engineering thought required to master it.
In other news we have a new UFC light heavy weight champion of the world in Forrest Griffin. Exciting fight very close result but I agree with the decision.
In a tribute to Forrest’s toughness and willingness to go through unmentionable pain I bring you the fight in which his are is broken mid fight and he still manages to knock his opponent out with his other arm a short time later. Look for the break at approximately 5 mins and 5 secs into the video. Its not an armbar as I thought it was but you can see his arm go a bit floppy J
Well here we are, on the eve of another sporting event that I have been looking forward to for 6 months.
Jackson V Griffin in a match that promises to be one of the best straight up wars in world history. There I have said it, this could very well be the best fight EVER!!
In one hand, you have Quinton Rampage Jackson. A man who has done his time in the tough Japanese ranks and proven to be one of the best fighters on the planet. A man who stepped over into the UFC and in his second fight in the Octagon knocked out the UFC’s poster boy and light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell.
In the other, you have Forrest Griffin. A man who had his arm broken in a fight and still managed to knock his opponent out (if you look at his arm today you can still see where the break was never reset). A man who doesn’t feel at home in a fight until he has a 3 inch gash in his forehead. A man who beat Mauricio Rua in his most recent fight, with Rua being the last man walking the planet to have beaten Rampage.
Griffin is definitely the underdog but I just have a feeling that he can win the light heavyweight title on Sunday afternoon. That is the real beauty of the UFC, anyone can beat anyone on any given day.
I am interested to see the rest of the card but the main event is one of the most exciting fights in recent memory. I think if you watch it you may just well realise why the UFC and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is going to take over the sporting world.
Anyone interested in watching can give me a call and I can try and tee up a chair at the ranch for you to sit back, sink a couple of beers and watch the action unfold from about 12PM.
I am not quite sure what all the fuss about this Belinda Neal is all about. Here is a description of what I believe the current affairs shows are salivating about.
She had dinner with her husband at some restaurant and wasn’t too happy about something at the end of the night. She angrily suggested that her opinion was far more valuable than that of the restaurants staff. Her major sin that night appears to be asking the question “Don’t you know who I am, don’t you know who I am?”
The next day or soon after she felt embarrassed enough about the situation that she denied it ever occurred and then tried to forcefully influence her friends and work colleagues to lie for her and support her denial story.
That worked until one of her work colleagues decided that she wanted to side with truth, justice and the media way and went public with the truth.
She has since refused to speak with police.
Then complained of assault at the hands of a television reporter.
And now has been told by our fearless leader to speak with police.
I guess I don’t want our politicians covering anything up but to think that Ms Neal is the only one ‘covering things up’ is a little bit naive. Unless she stabbed someone or was wielding an axe I just don’t understand the interest in this story.
Regardless of my interest, I believe I have found Ms Neals long lost little brother in English comedian Ross Noble.
Ok here we are people, on the eve of the grandest game of all. Queensland V New South Wales in a battle for rugby league supremacy for the next 12 months.
Unfortunately the tip I received about Trent Barrett making a surprise return for game 3 hasn’t come to fruition and I am not overly impressed with the inclusion of Braith Anasta. I am however excited at the prospect of watching the debut of the seemingly talented rooster Mitchell Pearce.
In the words or Tony Grieg (12th man version) “well this poor little bastard, he would be shitting himself” understatement of the year in my opinion. Throwing a 19 year old origin virgin smack bang into the biggest game in a couple of years is a huge gamble. I have seen enough of him play to be reasonably impressed so far but whether he can handle origin at its most ferocious is another story.
As a Queensland supporter I am fine to see him not perform well but, as a league fan I hope he does enough as to not destroy his confidence and possibly risk his future career. There is also a possibility he will be bashed from pillar to post but big Willie Mason is telling all and sundry he will be protected. No offence Willie but on your recent form your couldn’t protect a warm cup of urine, you or your forward pack. For mine Gallen, Tupou, Hoffman as well as Mason will need a huge improvement if they are going to allow Pearce the time he is going to need to get a footing and move the pill about.
Either way I believe me and 5 other mates are having our combined Stables Club $1,080.00 all on Queensland to win at $1.60 for a possible return of $1,728.00.
