    Try telling that to a Rugby League supporter in WA this (or most) Friday night(s). Even one who has Foxtel!

    How the hell does channel 9 get the rights to both Friday games and either show them at 2:00am or not all all?

    He sure is and I would like to hop onto the bandwagon. JK, how about we team up seeing as I received mine awhile back but without much celebration. Since I would like to do the right thing, how about you swing some of the drinks my way. It won't be much/for long, these days it doesn't get much to have me hugging the toilet bowl (Jono, considering what I've read, I know/feel your pain).

    PS. Hope you don't mind me donning a neutral colour such as say..something (all) black.



    C7 can get rucked!! (only on Saturday tho, I do enjoy it the rest of the week).

    Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    Don't make me list the shows, I think I've said enough to be burnt at the stake for heresy.

    So now I'm really confused KQ
    You've "vowed allegiance" etc to a new country but you continue to support another third party country's national team at the expense of your new one???
    I think it is your round for starters!!!

    Burgs, you think you're confused.

    Fortunately for me the Olympics will bring little complexity as the Kenyan, the Ukranian/Russian, and the Australian hardly get pitted against each other except for one major event, the 5000m race. Mottram will only get secondary support unless its just him against the Ethiopians, in which case he will get unilateral support.

    It is a complex world out there and unfortunately its all in my head.

    As mentioned a fortnight ago when Jess was confronted with a similar situation, invoke the foxtel rule Robyn - no foxtel, no babysitting.
