Can You Get Smashed on XXXX Gold?

Best Intro to a song:

And

I realised that I don't like beer that much anymore. I have a cask of cheap and nasty tonight - should be fun. Stay Tuned.

I have two questions for you Joel, 3 actually.

In the 1880's ...

1) Did you know that quoits was a popular game played in Pubs?
2) What was the sport of competitive walking called back then?
3) And what was Soccer called in Australia then?

Tonight's action sees Sutherland Shire up against Sydney Olympic at Seymour Shaw Park, and Croatia Sydney play APIA Leichhardt at the King Tomislav Sports Centre.

I've just realised that you're probably in Sydney to see the Swans tonight. Oh well, maybe Kamikazee will be here tonight.

City out of control

I'm a Wests Magpies supporter too ... by the way

The Sydney Swans have lost tonight.

I wish Kamikazee was here

Only a Lightweight would get smashed on XXXX Gold.

I hate football

Me too. Unless you mean Rugby. I grew up on football meaning either Rugby or Rugby League. Soccer was soccer and Aussie Rules was Aussie Rules or Poofta Ball or VFL.

All football sucks

That's not true. Only football that requires four posts at either end sucks.

It looks like you can get smashed on XXXX Gold.

Rubbish

The Gender Bender is not here despite the early hour so one can only conclude that yes you can get smashed on XXXX Gold.

Not me.

Maybe, but she posted that yesterday.

Fair enough.

I didn't try to get smashed on it in the end. I remembered that I've gone off drinking lots of beer. So I bought a cask of wine yesterday and at about 10:30 last night I got sick of talking to myself in here. So I went to bed.

I will be back tonight though as my partner is still in Victoria and I'm bored.

Joel, the answers to those questions were Pedestrianism, and British Association Rules.

Also, did you know the Swans lost last night and so did Stoke City.

Also, Kamikazee, it's nice to see you back. And, I want to hear your explanation for a Sydney first grade Rugby club going belly-up after just 4 matches of the new season.

How is that a good advertisement for the game you claim to be the superior code of football?

Stoke will now be relegated, and so should the Swans.
