About Me

Without sounding glib, to sum me up in a nutshell I am tall and I like beer, footy and lipgloss. Regrettably in Melbourne, beer is usually a pot or pint glass and I would like to convert the Mexicans to the schooner. It's the Goldilocks porridge of beers - not too big and not too small.I'm from NSW, spent nearly a decade in Canberra and then moved to Melbourne to watch more footy (seriously). Despite my ACT inhabitation, I remain fervently supportive of the NSW Waratahs, or Horror-Tahs as the season may be. I also support the Port Adelaide Power and Manly Sea Eagles. Who, I might add, are both hovering near the top of the ladder in their respective competitions. Go boys!I have been to every AFL ground except Darwin so I'm understandably angry that the Kangas decided to move to Carrara and it means there's another ground I haven't been to. For the record, Canberra Stadium is easily the best, followed by Stadium Australian in Sydney and Telstra Stadium in Melbs. For the record, I hate the G and it's disgraceful to watch footy at. retro layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com MyHotComments

My Interests

AFL, rugby union, rugby league, netball, cricket and tennis. Playing/watching/checking out participants in the above. While I know a hell of a lot about sport, I also enjoy watching good looking blokes get sweaty. Oh and I also like firemen.

I'd like to meet:

Darren Jolly is God's gift to football. Luckily, God is not the type of guy (or gal) to leave only one present under the Christmas tree so he also left us with Jamie Charman, Mitchell Johnson, Cameron Shepherd, Drew Petrie, Andy Roddick, Matthew Pavlich, Mark Chisolm and pretty much any member of the Sydney Swans.I once lined up with a lot of kids in the 6-10yrs bracket to have my photo with Stewie Dew - embarrassing and yet so so worth it. Especially now the number 17 at Port is essentially vacant.

Music:

I like anything but I refuse to listen to bullshit Triple J "I'm so cool and alternative" excuses for music. At the moment I am enjoying the Sugababes greatest hits, the new Mick Buble and I hate anything by Mika.

Movies:

If you haven't seen Transformers then you should get on it. Dance movies. Anything with dancing in it. Anything with dancing and singing. Plus Adam Sandler movies and 'She's the Man', which I have now watched about 80 times after I illegally taped it from Foxtel Box Office.

Television:

Will & Grace is easily the best TV show ever - however a late contender is the Robin Hood that was recently shown on ABC and made by BBC. LOVED IT. I can't find anyone else that watched it though... I'm a massive All Saints fan, that's a great show and I have to set the tape each Tuesday while I'm at netball. Other than that I like Ugly Betty, Heroes and the Wed night line up on ABC - Spicks and Specks, Chaser and the Movie Show.I watch a lot of football on the weekends and am very pleased to see footy back on Seven in 07. And there should be more Clinton Grybas on TV.

Books:

Too many to mention. My favourite book is James and the Giant Peach and I'm a massive fan of magazine/newspaper reading, especially Allure, Lucky and US InStyle.I like to read one serious book, then a mental junk food kind of book to mix it up. I recently read 'How To Walk in High Heels' and am currently getting through 'The Bourne Ultimatum' by Robert Ludlum before the movie comes out. The original 'Bourne Identity' then you should, easily one of the best books ever and highly recommended.I also have taken a long time stand against reading 'The Da Vinci Code'.

Heroes:

Eddie McGuire and Matt Burke. Eddie has achieved everything through hard work and Burkey is simply the best footy player I have ever seen in any code.And anyone who works or volunteers in the emergency services is a hero.

I never liked those girls much. Well, when I say I never liked them, what I probably mean is more I never knew them. There were a lot of divisions between departments where I worked and they simply di...

9-5 Morning Train

One of the reasons I decided to move to Melbourne was because I wanted to watch more football. Very simple, although people tend to think I'm being flippant when I say that. To the uninformed that may...

The text message I sent to about half a dozen friends and family this afternoon at about 5pm says it all - "there's no better place to be than the MCG when your team has just thumped Collingwood." I l...

The rudeness of it all

At the start of this week, I had the distinct pleasure of spending three days in Mildura. For those of you who are unfamiliar, Mildura is in the north-west corner of Victoria, about eight hours' drive...
