Bash for The Border - Round 9 - The curse of coaching

Like plans for my pay packet each and every week, something unexpected always pops up and ruins things last minute. It's no different in this god-awful coaching experience either as I walked in with a full team and just before game time the captain fell over..

Seriously, can I jump out of this idiot plane now?

ACROSS THE WEEK

-Tim offered up Nankervis as a swap for Dangerfield. But since Danger is one of my better players, I passed. I did offer up Sidebottom but no dice.

-Tyson (who we play this week) was looking to plug some holes in his own team and offered up some decent options. In response I offered up Sidebottom...but no dice.

-Tyson also helpfully posted up the team selections for round 9 which I combed through and found out I only had to make one change. Sidebottom was an option to play...but no dice. He's on the bench.

-Dunstan has gone mysteriously missing. I couldn't find his name anywhere on the selection list so I can only guess he's been abducted by aliens and the AFL are pretending it never happened. So he's out and Jai Newcombe from Hawthorne takes his place. I'll assign a 40k pic to him if he lasts more than a couple of weeks..

GAME TIME!

I thought I was going to be okay with my setup this week..

Only to wake up today (Saturday) to this awful setback news (thanks Tyson).

So the normal 100+ haul from dependable Penders won't happen and worse, because he's still captain for this team...it won't be doubled. That's a 200+ lack of points already and we've only got through one game so far.

Holy hell...I can smell the crushing loss from here.

The true meaning of Flo Rida's song 'Whistle'..

The whistle song? What's it about? Read on! Controversial I know but I'm about to reveal the true meaning behind the Whistle song by Flo Rida. Why? Because I'm getting the general feeling that people around me are really missing the true spirit of Mr Rida's epic masterpiece... We're getting right into the real Flo, yo. After all this time, it's still all about that wisal baby song!

Please don't ignore this massage

It's been a while between scam emails - life has been life, work has been hectic, I've been grunting and sweating my way through my exercise sessions and so I've been putting responding to random idiots through my email on the back burner. Until today when I was kindly asked not to 'ignore this massage.' I hope it's a hot stone one! Trust me, I NEVER ignore a massage. Better set the record straight then...

Last M.A.M.E standing part 1: Almigo has a plan

Yes I've decided to embark on my most ambitious project to date (well aside from changing a rocker cover gasket on a WRX, on a scale of what I can do that one was pretty ambitious) and build a fully functional arcade emulation machine for the back shed. Aka one of these bad boys. Probably not this one though.. Do I need a fully functional arcade emulation machine? No not really. Will I complete a fully functional arcade emulation machine? Well hopefully, that is the plan. Will I break things along the way? Undoubtedly, this is me we're blogging about. Am I in for a world of pain for doing this? Damn straight. Come join me, this should be fun...(ish)
