Suave's Republique Cricket 
You’ve missed a few things… Vegemite, Cate Blanchett, Powderfinger, lamingtons, and most of all, this… http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p31/assywassy/424741188.jpg
Comment by Miss Field January 25, 2008 @ 3:19 pmI love Cate Blanchett, I met her at Claridges Hotel, Christmas 2006. Beautiful! Can’t believe I forgot her..
Vegemite, shit.
Marmite, Brilliant.
Powderfinger are rubbish, I know you aussies love them, but they annoy the shit out of me!
Lamingtons, I have no idea what this is?
Or that last fella? Who on earth is that?
I also forgot Tim Tams. Sucking coffee through a Tim Tam, beautiful
Comment by republiquecricket January 25, 2008 @ 3:28 pmYou met Cate Blanchett? What was she like? Shit, this just isn’t on. Tim Tams are fabulous, good addition. Lamingtons are a plain sponge, dipped in chocolate and rolled in coconut. http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/Cakes/Lamington.jpg
Go there and imagine the possibilities!
And that guy is our PM, Kevin Rudd… in a photograph that’s a reference to the last series of Doctor Who.
Comment by Miss Field January 25, 2008 @ 3:43 pmShe was charming, and pretty. I nearly drooled on her.
Can’t do the Lamingtons.. I hate coconut.
Ah yes. The wanky wicky.
Comment by republiquecricket January 25, 2008 @ 3:45 pmThe… what?
Comment by Miss Field January 25, 2008 @ 3:52 pmSomeone once called me “coconut”, as an insult.
Comment by Miriam January 25, 2008 @ 3:55 pmWho care’s about actors. They are all socialists. And socialism is as dead as Heath Ledger.
Comment by Brad Griggs January 25, 2008 @ 6:23 pmmiss field, that’s what i call wicket keepers. Wanky wicky’s.
Comment by republiquecricket January 25, 2008 @ 6:54 pmMiriam, not the most witty name calling is it? You coconut.
Brad, there is more to life than cricket, not much, but there is. And not all actors are socialists. What about arnold, a republican governor of california.
You are mesaging a 42 year old loser who has nothing else. Also Arnold is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Reagan was the last Cal. republican. I see parallel’s between his battle with the Soviet’s and mine with the Indian’s. Mr. Kumble declare youre innings!
Comment by Brad Griggs January 25, 2008 @ 7:41 pmApologies for the spelling it’s 6am here.
Comment by Brad Griggs January 25, 2008 @ 7:45 pmCoconut = brown on the outside, you know the rest. It’s not witty.
Comment by Miriam January 25, 2008 @ 10:10 pmAh Miriam, the stupidity of people who think they are clever in their insults never ceases to amaze me. In high school some boys were teasing my friend, called her Pappadom and told her she should go back to India. One of my friends pointed out to them the manner of their dickheadness, as she is actually from Sri Lanka. And they thought they were so funny.
Comment by Miss Field January 25, 2008 @ 11:59 pmPeople, huh? They’re the worst!
Right, I want the cricket to start now.
Comment by Miriam January 26, 2008 @ 12:09 amI’m not sure I do 😛 Although we did get off to a fine start yesterday afternoon. 500 runs in five hours would be lovely.
Comment by Miss Field January 26, 2008 @ 12:14 amNick Cave, Richard Chee Quee, John Safran, father bob, afl, ned kelly, neil harvey, bob hawke, kasey chambers and Spicks and Specks.
Comment by Uncle J Rod January 26, 2008 @ 3:01 pmNick Cave, nah, John Safran’s so ten years ago, Bob Hawke, YAY! (And Gough!) Kasey Chambers, vomit on toast. Spicks and Specks, I’m a bit over it, although I’m going to see it live later in the year. Ooooh Kath and Kim!
And sadly for the rest of the world, no one understands AFL except us. Which is a shame, because it is great.
Thongs!
Comment by Miss Field January 26, 2008 @ 4:00 pmMiss Field, i’m glad only we understand Afl.
Comment by Uncle J Rod January 27, 2008 @ 6:34 amCrocodile Dundee Cake.
Comment by The Atheist January 27, 2008 @ 7:01 pmJ Rod, I’m with you on the Nick Cave thing.. I’m loving Grinderman.
Comment by republiquecricket January 27, 2008 @ 9:30 pmThe rest i’m going to have to take your word for. Except AFL. That’s shit.
Also, Wolfmother should have been in with a shout.
Another one is Horse Stories. Beautiful Americana/Alt-Country.
You’ve heard of Wolfmother? Ahahahaha funny. AFL is not shit, it is beautiful!
Comment by Miss Field January 27, 2008 @ 10:50 pmOf course I have.. I listen to them when I’m fighting imaginary Matthew Hayden.
Comment by republiquecricket January 27, 2008 @ 10:56 pmAFL is still shite though, a poor mans Gaelic Football 😉
Don’t you mean a convict’s Gaelic football?
Comment by Miss Field January 27, 2008 @ 11:04 pmOnly when I’m feeling the vitriol..
I’m calm as a cucumber this evening!
Comment by republiquecricket January 27, 2008 @ 11:15 pmGood to know. Maybe Wolfmother has that effect on you.
Comment by Miss Field January 27, 2008 @ 11:41 pmOh damn you, I’m listening to them now… have you been to the carnival??
Comment by Miss Field January 27, 2008 @ 11:46 pmGood.. Nothing like a bit of rock and roll to start the working week!
Comment by republiquecricket January 27, 2008 @ 11:50 pmWhat carnival? Where Carnival? Why Carnival?
Ahh it’s a public holiday here, I’ve got the day off. Yay.
Carnival…. er, from the song White Unicorn, by Wolfmother of course!
Comment by Miss Field January 27, 2008 @ 11:53 pmDamn you convicts!
Sorry, It’s 11.55pm, and the old grey cells are slowly dying.
Comment by republiquecricket January 27, 2008 @ 11:56 pmMagnificent comeback… I guess that means you don’t have a day off tomorrow. And you have to go to work…*hesitates for effect* Shame, I could exchange jibes with you all evening!
Comment by Miss Field January 28, 2008 @ 12:02 amWell the vitriol seems to have returned!
Why thank you our kid, alas, one must retire, as I’m dying on my ass now.
Comment by republiquecricket January 28, 2008 @ 12:08 amYour ass? You have a donkey? (Actually isn’t an ass an Aussie lass, missing its L?)
Sweet Haydos/Hoggy dreams.
