some developments

hi dan,

i would really appreciate it if you refrained from the use of the term bear in our written communications. this title is something i have really been forced to tolerate on the football field (predominantly outdoor but i note your occasional use at the altona home of indoor football) and would rather that we just let this slide into the past ...

there is still a lingering feeling of disappointment from the weekend, but i guess it is all part of the post 90s experience of being a north supporter - it is certainly not as grim as 1984 or as frustrating as the early 90s ...

you will be disappointed to hear that our jessica has been rubbed out for a week for bumping whichever of the lonies plays for collingwood. i don't recall the incident but i don't like those lonies and, perhaps, as we play the abstract concept this weekend it was decided to prevent jess from collecting the lonie quinella. it should also be noted that jessica is looking big, blond and tanned, but the additional length in his locks gives him the appearance of a norse god - a loose, half-back flanker version of beowulf.

in other news that is likely to end only in something bad dean laidley is appearing on channel 9's new "footy confidential" show to face up to caroline wilson, wayne carey and others ... our wayne has had another dig at dean over the weekend - calling him arrogant and aloof and without friends amongst his premiership teammates. i know you are a sack laidley advocate but i just wonder about wayne and arrogance and just how he might have treated some of his former premiership teammates.

anyway, this viewing pleasure awaits a later time (courtesy of the vcr) and i will let you know whether it is mildly horrific, horrific or really horrific.
