ExeterCity vs. Bristol Not Til Next Tuesday

Hey, is it some sort of a Holiday in PommyLand today (Saturday)? There are no Coca Cola League One matches scheduled until next tuesday!!!
Next Big Match: ExcretiaCity faces The Bristol Rovers (aka The Pirates aka The Gas) on Tuesday December 1 at Memorial Stadium in Bristol. I'm wondering how the Bristol Rovers' Hooligans rate on the *Hooligan Scale*(10 being the most destructive).

The Worst "Drive" Ever By Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods drives out of his Florida estate and crashes his Cadillac into a fire hydrant and tree at 2:30 a.m. His wife hears the crash from inside the house and comes running out. The doors are locked so she uses a golf club (was it a Driver, a 3-iron, or a Wedge?) to smash the back window of the car, and pulls him out. Tiger lies on the ground going in and out of consciousness (and is apparently speaking incoherently) when the police arrive. Clearly, it was the worst "Drive" in Tiger's life.

I did feel sorry for the increasing grim-faced "neutrals" standing next to us!

For Once...

..I am delighted for Robbbo's "Red Devils" What a class result, and a fine performance by the boy Giggs, even if Shreck got a hat-trick.
I hope Shreck doesn't go out on the prowl for middle-aged fish tonight. 1-4 Against the Skates.
We won again 2-3 against Northampton. Paint Can Trophy & FA Cup still possibilities

Ruggers

The big games are coming up this weekend:
All Blacks v France, I give France a slight favouritism for this game. AB's need to win to retain World #1 ranking.
Springboks v Ireland, the Boks have had a terible tour (what's new?), but are my pick.
Wallabies v Wales, Wales aren't very good, but the Wallabies find new ways not to win.
GO BLACK!!!
The Barbarians game is next Friday afternoon.

From our Koalaroo correspondent....

At a point unknown to the rest of us, Football Federation Australia seem to have quietly hired infamous Torquay hotelier Basil Fawlty to conduct its operations.

Media liaisons are now conducted with summary brusqueness, visitors are routinely insulted and the sign has been slung over the doorknob: “No riff-raff!”

How else to explain the extraordinary events of the past week, in which two A-League coaches have been censured for audiciously speaking their minds.

In the first instance, it wasn’t even the normally trigger-happy FFA that cracked down on an outrageous outbreak of free speech that has threatened to tear Australian football apart.

Instead, it was South Australian club Adelaide United who moved quicker than a politburo censor to distance itself from comments made by coach Aurelio Vidmar.

Asked in a post-match press conference if he was “too nice” to his player... more »

Recognise the boat in #1

OK, we cheated and re-rated her, but we've just spent an hour working out what would have happened if we hadn't & its the same.

Quote from Sailing Anarchy:

QUOTE (snatchblocker @ Nov 10 2009, 11:29 AM) *
I see Elaine are doing well in IRC2, fair play as they sail the boat well. However I also note that their rating has dropped 14 points since the summer anyone one with any knowledge as to how? perhaps rated with just a code 3, or non overlapping jibs?

Yes they reduced headsail from 140% to 105%.

We are getting well pissed Saturday night to see what we can do with serious hangovers....
