  • Field Theory: An odd morning,

    Alright, I'll happily start hating the game not the Playa (or Managa in this case).

    But the PULSE can lose all they like and they’ll be back next year.

    Don't be so sure.

    The Premiership is one of the few competitions in the world where every team has SOMETHING MEANINGFUL to play for.

    Playing in a tournament just to try and not-lose isn't fun. Just ask the Pulse.

    So Sir Alex does actually train the players, he's not just a glorified scout (although that is also an admirable skill). Good to hear. See, as I've said before, I don't follow the premiership because I don't care for a three (sometimes four) horse race. If he turned Man U from a struggling underdog to the powerhouse of world football then he deserves all the credit in the world for that.

    If, however, he is currently resting on his ample laurels then respect diminishes.

    Also, I think the whole thing would be better if the coaches were replaced by angry apes. That's what you get for not HAILING TO THE CHIMP!

    I doubt anybody could name more than a handful of managers in the history of soccer that have been either more influential or successful.

    Yeah but how many can say why

    Even despite this morning's result that's a big call. I guess the word "probably" suggests that you don't know but he might be because you think he's an arsehole?

    No I say "probably" because I don't know much about his success as a manager. I sort of think you could put an angry Orang-utan in charge of Man U and you'd win the Premiership just as often.

  • Field Theory: How I Roll (pt1),

    What I love about bowling is how you can often tell within a split-second of the ball leaving your fingers if that particular bowl is going to be a cracker.

    And the best part about that is you can around and walk away from the Strike behind you in slow-motion action-hero style

    Too bad there isn't an accessable set of lanes worth using in the CBD. Is there?

    Or is there...? Bowlarama

    I am open to bowling invitations if folks want to drink beer and roll some rocks. My highest score is 180 but that was years ago and the best I thrown recently was 172 (I took a photo to prove it).

    As for Donny, it was just a theory. You're right the Dude speaks to him, but only once ("Phone's ringin' Dude" "thank you Donny").

    The Putnam book has coped a lot of justified flack, for it sloppy use of evidence and unjustified claims.

    Oh definitely. I remember a part where he says there will be lower crime rates in neighborhoods will less ethnic diversity. Very large intuitive leaps there.

    But it did have some good stuff and it was just a brief stop in my "study" of social capital

    And for those wishing to discuss the Big Lebowski, think about this (via my friend Dom): Donny is actually Walter's imaginary friend

    In chronological order:

    The Bronx is Burning ... Any idea whether it's any good?

    I saw part of it while holidaying in Hawaii (looks out the window and sighs) and it was actually quite good. John Tuturro is a great character actor, and speaking of which...

    Is Jesus cool, though?

    Don' fuck wit de Jesus.

    Awesome post, dude.

    Gracias!

    I have an idea for you that involves bowling and fun in Wellington.

    I'm listening

    yet you hardly fronted in the Wellingtonista Bowling League

    Yeah but that was at The Lanes, this year we should roll at Bowlarama
