Footy Tipping Results : Round 22 The end of the season. I got 4 right. Again, I let my tipping be based on how I wanted things to end, rather than reflecting reality. I was hopeful things could fall the Saints way. I was wrong Week 22 Home Draw Away Bulldogs (22.15 147) Bombers (18.17 125) Tigers (12.13 85) Eagles (26.17 173) Crows (23.14 152) Demons (14.10 94) Lions (7.15 57) Saints (16.12 108) Dockers (23.13 151) Power (9.18 72) Swans (21.10 136) Blues (6.8 44) Hawks (21.7 133) Cats (10.12 72) Magpies (20.19 139) Kangaroos (10.11 71) My tipping  has me with 108 correct tips for the season. I don't know how I've done in the tipping comp, but I am sure I didn't win.

Yumm, Cannoli We've finally found a good place for Cannoli in Sydney - Pasticceria Papa Pasticceria Papa 145 Ramsay Street Haberfield www.pasticceriapapa.com.au Open: Sun-Thur 7am-10pm, Fri & Sat 7am-12 Midnight There is a common thread that runs through the local businesses of Haberfield, a timeless formula of quality, hard work, tradition and community. Each business, be it coffee or cake, has its own story, and remains faithful to its roots. Pasticceria Papa is perhaps Haberfield’s greatest example of this. Its Sicilian born owner Salvatore Papa migrated to Australia 17 years ago and for the last 13 years has been sharing with us his homemade recipes. Pasticceria Papa is a patisserie, bakery and a café. Its display cabinet is longer than the eye can see and filled with fresh cannoli, profiteroles, biscotti and more. It also sells savoury food like pizza, as well as gelato and large cakes. A world unto itself, Pasticceria Papa offers something genuinely unique. The atmosphere is always lively and bustling, and the quality of the food, consistently excellent. Perhaps this is why there is no better place for indulgences, however big or small.
