Nerds FC : Great TV
We are really enjoying a program on SBS called Nerds FC. The premise - take 14 nerds, teach them to play soccer and have them play a professional team. Yes, it's a reality tv show, but it is really really good. We're up to episode 3 this week where they record a team song and film a video clip - very entertaining seeing them dancing with the brazillian samba dancers. The show's website is also good - it has an rss feed and offers podcasts, as well as clips from the show. Very progressive SBS! Where's the lyrics to the team song??? BTW - SBS is going to be repeating the program later in the year, if you have missed the first 3 episodes.

Tweety : Boy or Girl ?
During our recent trip to Movie World, I got into an argument with my children. I asked the question - Is Tweety a boy or a girl. The kids said "Girl". I say "Boy". And wikipedia backs me up - "Despite widespread speculation that he was female, Tweety is and has always been a male character". Well, that answers that!

Power hold off the Saints
Not only did I have to stay up to 11:30pm to watch the game, Saints lost as well. I've been grumpy all day. It was a fast paced, high scoring game - but the Saints didnt look like winning. Defence was loose and the forwards missed some changes. Grrrr PORT ADELAIDE 6.2 12.5 17.6 19.8 (122)

Impressions about the Gold Coast
I've just come back from a week on the Gold Coast with the family - we spent 3 days at the Hyatt Sanctuary Cove and then 3 days at Palazzo Versace. While at Sanctuary Cove, we went to 2 theme parks - Movie World and Wet N' Wild, as well as had a lounge around at the resort. It was nice to sit by the pool, watching the kids play. We saw most of the attractions at Movie World - Shrek 4D AdventureTM, Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster, Road Runner Rollercoaster, Wild West Falls Adventure Ride, Looney Tunes Village, Looney Tunes River Ride, Lethal Weapon - The Ride, Batman Adventure - The Ride 2. I chickened out and didn't go on the Superman Escape ride. Wet N' Wild wasn't as much fun, mainly due to Emma's tantrum and she wouldn't go on any of the rides. While she sulked, Brice and I tackled Terror Canyon, Mammoth Falls, Calypso Beach and hung out at Buccaneer Bay. He loved it and would have stayed there all day. Following the theme park adventures, we moved to our other hotel, the Palazzo. That afternoon, we ventured into Surfer's Paradise for lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe and a visit the Ripley museum. We even spotted a meter maid or two! The following day, we tackled another theme park - Sea World. I reckon this is the best of the bunch. A mix of rides, attractions, animal adventures, not to mention Sharks and Polar Bears. We spent a whole day there, and we only got to see half of the park. After all the excitement of the theme parks, I took the kids back to Surfers to ride the Aqua Duck, an amphibious vehicle that trundels around the streets of Surfers and then glides along the broadwater. The kids even got to drive the Duck when it was on the water! We then did our own trundeling on the streets and went to the Gold Coast Wax Museum. There is only one word to describe this place - LAME! It's a bit of an anachronism amongst the other attractions on the Gold Coast. I should have gone to play mini golf at King Tutts Putt Putt We wrapped up the trip with some rest time at Palazzo Versace. It was nice, but the overall place had a weird vibe - lots of "beautiful people" strutting in their expensive clothes and refurbished bodies. The word of the day for me was "Faux". Definitely not my scene. As nice as the place looked, I was glad to be leaving it and heading back home to my own little resort, So, there you have it - a week on the Gold Coast. Photos are coming soon. I need to pull them off the camera. It was nice to go away, but it's much nicer to be home. I have another week left of my holidays, no email, no meetings, but I've got a bunch of things I need to get sorted.

Saints Maul Lions
Great result! The boys looked hungry. It's a shame the lions got a few easy goals right at the end - I was looking forward to a 10 goal win!!
Riewoldt stars as Saints down Lions Saints tame Lions Saints easily brush aside Lions Motivation does Lions no good Motivation does Lions no good

One year ago today
I had my surgery one year ago today. It's really hard to believe it was only a year ago, the scar on my belly is a constant reminder of the 64 staples. Here's a recap - @ home again, facing the inevitable, Incredible Shrinking Frank, It's official - I have a date with my surgeon, Post From DIARIST on my XDA II, surgery over, Unexpected benefit of MSN Spaces, big news day So, how am I doing these days? Well, I'm feeling much better, that's for sure! I have slacked off with my exercising for the last few months, which isn't good. I need to get back into that.I've put a bit of the weight back on, which also isn't good. I'm taking some time off over the next few weeks. It's school holidays in NSW, so I need to help my wife wrangle the 4 kids. Well actually my 2 big boys will be playing with the XBOX 360 for the next little while, so I'll be wrangling the 2 little ones. The odds are in our favour - 2 adults to 2 kids. Or are they?? I will be posting photos to my flickr account of the holidays, so keep an eye open for them.
