Thanks Fleur. Footy gives Peter SO much pleasure and he has been counting down the days, hours, until it starts again but they were beaten badly tonight :( 

Has not started in earnest yet :)

Good to see you, you and your special bloke have a great weekend.

Peter said (went and asked him in the other room where he is watching yet another science fiction movie) "tell Viv. Melbourne did very well in the draft! and not only do they have Paul Roos, but another bloke with a great reputation. 

Good on The Dockers.

Wonder who will be at the bottom if Melbournr rises up.

Would back the Saits with you

but they would most probably wind up with broken legs if I backed them :)

ha ha abby,   they need all the help they can get,  so get onboard,   have had a shocking couple of years,   im not a footy person,   but have followed the saints since i was 16, when i first came to melbourne to live,   and a man i thought i loved followed them,   so went with them,  and stuck ever since,   NEEDLESS to say,  the romance went nowhere,    but i still love the saints,

Scores equal >>>Craig Bird, with one second to go kicked the last goal. and Swans won.

Cheer, cheer the red and the white,
Honour the name by day and by night,
Lift that noble banner high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky
Whether the odds be great or small,
Swans will go in and win overall
While her loyal sons are marching
Onwards to victory!

Bonti played well and it was a good win. Mind you pre season games mean nothing because no 4 points at stake. Not that long ago Carlton won the pre season cup but from memory took out the wooden spoon for the season proper. Looking forward to the season starting but I cancelled Foxtel last year before my 12 month contract ran out. I will miss a lot of games ( doggies ) but founf the rest of the content not worth the money. Could use the Telstra app I guess but haven,t looked into it

No value there as no smart phone. I can check out the vids at Doggies site I guess. I paid 250 bucks for a Kogan keyboard but would never pay 600 to 800 bucks for a phone even with the bells and whistles.

I think Nokia might be worth considering again - have a hand me down IPhone from my daughter - clarity on Nokia was always better I think than present IPhones. I am not a Techno head so use hardly any of the functions anyway - think I can get all I need for much less upfront cost.

Geo:-

Life is short and something makes you happy is worth the money regardless it is not always "value for money" for everyone, but like Peter who just loves his footy. Foxtell is worth every cent and I am guessing something gives you pleasure also. Only the cost of one night at a Motel per month - not to bad hey?

Peter adds the Sport from now until September and then we drop it. 

Often nothing worth watching on tele. but always something somewhere on pay t.v.

Go on get Foxtell back :) :)
