For Those Keeping Score At Home
"SYDNEY started the new year with a near-record January temperature, 44.2 degrees, as soaring heat and strong wind fanned bushfires. The mercury at Sydney's official weather station at Observatory Hill stopped rising at 4.24pm just short of the previous record, 45.3 degrees, registered on January 14, 1939." - Daily Telegraph The hottest temprature in New South Wales was 47 degrees celcius (116.6 Fahrenheit). The airport and most of Sydney lived a majority of the day in 45 degree celcius (113 Fahrenheit) heat, with 70%+ humidity. Second hottest day since Federation (1901). Love it!

A Trendy Entery
Tom Cruise bashing seems to be very "in" this year. It's quite obvious why, and his antics have provided some of the comedic highlights of the year 2005. However his speedy self-destruction wasn't the first time ol' Tom had me reaching for the tissues to wipe the tears from my eyes. For that we would have to head back to 2003 while Tom was filming "The Last Samurai" in Oakura, New Zealand. Whilst filming in the town with a normal population of around 1,200, The Edge, a local radio station, wanted to see how local residents would respond if Tom were to call one of the many establishments in the town. So, after ripping audio from some of Tom's earlier trainwrecks, the station phoned 6 lucky people to have a chat with "Tom".

Everyone Else Is Doing It, So Why Shouldn't I?
In the early 80's a phenomena began that would, by 1987, become the undisputed number one in it's chosen industry. Industry experts have over the past 20 years tried to discover the ingredients that lead to this massive success, some suggest it was the soundtrack that caused the phenomena, others suggest the sexual undertones that no doubt appealed to one particular segment of fans, others would even go so far to suggest that the work was so far ahead of it's time that it pioneered new and interesting concepts that are still being replicated at infinitum today. They are all true. But they are missing the key ingredient - Larry. Thats right I said it Larry.
Larry's contribution and influence to the industry should never be underestimated. I for one find it dissapointing the lack of respect and admiration that this man recieves from the general public. All that have come to know Larry over the many years he has been in action, know him and identify with him well. He is very much a ladies man, as I am sure we can all atest, he loves a punt and a pint and always knows how to have a good time.
I for one want to say thanks for the contribution to an industry that I enjoy! Happy Birthday Dude!

Relatively Funny Joke
I've been meaning to post this for a week or so now...
I was sent this by a mate and quite frankly haven't laughed so hard in a long while:( The tension mounts )
Well I thought it was good. Current Music: Midnight Oil - Dreamworld | | Saturday, October 22nd, 2005 | | 12:09 am |
A Rare Uplate Update
Has been a while between drinks, no?
Birthday season is offically over, proving reasonably enjoyable on all levels... definatly an improvement on the last one I must say (the lack of a final English exam helped this). Anyway birthday season is out and cricket season is in... in about 3 or so hours. New Zealand vs South Africa @ Johannesburg.

I am open to challange. So if you honestly feel anyone was hard done by please do speak up. Anyway we can all join in mocking the Australian's performance had they taken part.
Wow. Successfully wasted another hour. 2 hours to go awesome! Current Music: Dave Dobbyn - Loyal | | Thursday, October 6th, 2005 | | 12:26 pm |
Success! (Only lasts you half an hour, oh yes, but it loves you when it comes)
My successful run of securing the exact tickets I want to events was stretched to 10 in a row today as I secured 6 GA's to a little known British band at the Sydney Entertainment Centre. Granted this required some "massaging" of the pre-sale system, but really the sport of Ticketing is a win-at-all-costs endevour. As with all sports talent, expereince and preperation wins out in the end.
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) timothius truly is the danielvettori of Ticketing. This run of good form will surely set him in good stead when 4 bone-idle-lazy Irishmen decide to haul their arses to Australia and New Zealand" - Rueters
The band? Don't ask. | | Wednesday, September 7th, 2005 | | 10:40 pm |
Victory For the Black Caps
I'm interrupting The Final CC, because I haven't had enough time to tie it together.
Flem & The Boys tied up another tournament victory! Nath scored his 15th ton, making a fairly good claim to being the greatest ODI batsmen New Zealand has ever seen - he also continued his unattested record of scoring a century in each calander year since 1995! New Zealand will now head to South Africa for a tour which will see some great cricket and a significant lack of sleep on my part. Things like this always have a bit of an affect on me...
Quite frankly I'm feeling a helluva a lot like this...
( She asks - when I'll be home again... )
Yeah. I'll be home again.

Today Is The Day...
Christmas comes but once a year, but it's highly overrated and the presents aren't quite as good as they used to be. Bledisloe Cup fixtures in Sydney on the other hand are a practical nirvana. Heading off to this game once a year is a requirement in this family, if you chose not to go to it... you pretty much write yourself out of Dad's will. I don't blame him, although I think he is being lenient, if any of my kiddies decided they did not want to go to Bledisloe Cup game or God-forbid didn't like rugby they would be marched down to the back paddock and given one last chance to think it over. But thats slightly going off topic. We have been to everyone in Sydney since 2001 (we had tickets to 2000 except my Grandma unfourtunetly passed away - even though the game turned out to be the greatest game of rugby ever - family does come first, always). Even in 2003 when I had to leave a 2 week school excursion to Qld via plane early just so I could make the game... yes we take it quite seriously. That also marked the begining of my friend and I heckling Australian supporters post-game... good times. I honestly prefer watching NZ/Australia contests in Australia purely for that reason, I take a perverse pleasure in being in the persecuted minority before and during the game and then tasting the sweet juices of vindication afterwards.
For the third year running I also have a pretty reasonable dose of the flu going into the game which reaks havoc on my voice, it is nearly 100% certain I will be a mute by the end of the evening. Such is the sacrifices we all must make. Current Music: Finn Brothers - Weather With You | | Sunday, August 7th, 2005 | | 11:18 am |
