"Someone should tell boofheads like that to pull their head in" Nick Farr-Jones talking about Australian journalists beating up innocuous quotes in an attempt to put pressure on their own country's team
I'm in Melbourne this week, busier than a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs, however still had time for a little Google experiment. I searched the words 'Quade' and 'Boofhead', and got 42,000 results. The words 'Nevy' and 'Legend' generated 325,000. Therefore, if Quade is a boofhead, Nevy is a legend. In fact, she is 8 times more of a legend than Quade is a boofhead.
'Warne' and 'metrosexual' generated 2.8 million results. Draw your own conclusions. See if this helps.
Speaking of metrosexuals, I'm predicting Italy to smash Russia later tonight. Given it's currently 38-7I think I'm on to a winner. I'm a bit concerned about their latest uniforms though.
I might struggle to blog for the next few days, so I'm going to go out on a limb and predict Tonga to overwhelm Japan and South Africa to just scrape past a fired-up Namiba - each game by about 50 or so.
I managed to do about 100 pushups today during breaks. That puts me roughly 1000 away from where I need to be. I'm trying not to think too much about that.
I'm also not trying to think about the weight I've gained while I've been away, having eaten in some of the best eateries in Melbourne the last few days. Speaking of which, I'm off to a steakhouse with my man JZ. Will start to catchup on situps tomorrow, I promise...
