Skids 50th trip.

[think positive]

The area has plenty of vacant seats every game except Anzac Day (and for one that wasn't full) sso yeah I'd try the guest passes. Or just wear you Collingwood gear and walk in at the quarter time rush! Heaps do it

Achillies is 100%. Had a bad back injury in December at work but that's pretty good now too. I must say, the workers comp Insurance company have been awesome! Heaps of physio and a 6 month gym membership, complete with a PT for one session every time I'm home on break.
Running about 5-7km comfortably now and just this week, got under the 100kg mark.

We get to the goldy on the 3rd (birthday on the 4th) and scoot back to Melbourne on the 6th. Staying at that big Q1 place, decided to glam it up a bit for the 50th .

Will give you a call just before we head up mate and catch up for another chin wag and drink or two.

Gee, pretty disapointed rite now.

Rang the missus and we're pretty excited, i have one more swing before our holiday for my birthday. Couple of Pies games with a Gold Coast trip inbetween has been something I've been looking forwatd to for a few months now.

Look, i didn't expect anything but Kelly just told me she contacted the club 6 weeks ago and asked if they might be able to do something for me. Not one to beat my own drum (as all my Nickster VP Tavern friends know ) but, i have been a member for over 20 years and fly the Magpie flag like nobody else in WA. Got the plates on the old Fairlaine & The Daicos Bar (which is home to the original Gold Wig... cheers Joff) which has been cranking since the 90's. PM me your email address if you'd like to see some pics.

Anyway, Tahlia sends back, a standard old email... we are inundated with requests and anything special is reserved for family of players or corporate sponsors... if you like, there are open trainning sessions, times are on our website, where you might be able to get an autograph.

She was not happy ... raving on that it's my 50th... not my 13th birthday

Honestly, I really don't give a ****, but when you think about it, it is pretty poor public relations from the biggest club in the comp.

Like Kel said, "I didn't expect them to let you toss the coin, but that's £$%$ed!"

It's seemed pretty clear to me for a while that the club treats its fans with open contempt. They like making money out of us but that's about it as far as their interest goes.

[think positive]

Unfortunately your right, they don't impress me at all any more, very impersonal, I doubt the membership people are even Collingwood supporters

[Skids]

Not long now!

One more sleep in camp and I'm on the bird home tomorrow

[Skids]

That was a crap sleep! Been awake since 0300hr.

Off to Yulga Jinna to handover the irrigated field to the community. A nice way to round out the swing before getting ready to fly out this arvo

3 weeks off is going to be bliss. Having a bit of a pre birthday get together with some friends in the Daicos Bar tomorrow... some beef and pork in the webber, some beers in the esky & some tasty buds while we watch the boys tear port a new one.

Yeeeeee Haaa!

"" was a crap sleep?
