G'day, Emma. I like your new name. Very appropriate.

As for the aforementioned Signor Russo ... well ... there's not a lot I can say. I tend to see umpires collectively. I don't actually bother to learn their names.

And there's a good reason for that. I wouldn't actually want to pay them the compliment of knowing their names. I see them a bit like opposition players. I often don't know the names of individual opposition players. I just see the opposition team as a collective blur ... a sort of shit stain on the field of play.

And that's much the same way as I see umpires. They are these turds on legs that run up and down the field all day blowing their whistles. They are there for one purpose only ... and that is to ruin our day. And they usually manage to do so very effectively.

The name Russo rings a bell or two ... but really, it's just some dark distant memory ... like some nightmare you had once ... and you know it upset you at the time ... but you just can't remember the details. So there's just this vaguely negative memory ... that once upon a time there was a f*cken k*nt of an umpire called Russo ...

But I really can't be any more specific than that.

Sorry.
