I am sure he used to masty over any All Black story. Remember him doing a 5 minute rant on rugby one night and then he said something about in other news, the All Whites qualified for the 2010 world cup and thats the sports news. Prized Toss Pot.

Doctors who know what they're doing!

Scary when she says "I'm doing tests to see if there's any neurological issue, like a brain tumour" (current signs point to no)

Emergency department staff.

At times it feels like they are the slowest people in the world but last night I watched as they had to deal with some pretty sharkty situations. So props to them.

Also I'm sorry to them for being such a bad patient. I was tired and cranky.

The sharky situations or why I was in ED?

I was there for IV infusion of some strong meds to treat a three week long headache/migraine. Knocked me out good!

There was another chick there being watched by 2 security staff and everywhere she went she was escorted by them. People yelling and what not. Standard ED I'm told.

This book and the article and the TED talk.

Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

meeting and having a beer with a very drunk Frank McAvennie

Having Frank McAvennie making a joke about having a 3 way with my wife  

scoring a goal on Upton Park 

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

Probably wasn't joking.

Did all these things happen during the same match?

Previously posted by me in Things that piss you off... 

I previously mentioned a bad tackle that sidelined me for up to 8 weeks. Now it's for the rest of the season as this Thursday I head into surgery for two screws and metal plate to be put in my foot to repair the bone and ligament damage one bad tackle has done. Watch your tackles lads...please...

...the glass is now half full. After the injury first happening on 2nd of April and after being on crutches that whole time (apart from 2 days where my Doctor said it was just a sprain, walk around on it), I'm not just 2 weeks and 5 days from getting into a moon boot and ditching the crutches.

The swelling has finally gone down, yes, I'll need surgery again to take the two metal plates and two screws back out at some point, but my anger about not playing football and cricket this year have been superseded by my anticipation of enjoying a few beers while standing and walking on my own two feet! 

Glass half full people!!! (...but still watch those tackles lads!)
