Goddamit, my iPhone ran out of battery so my alarm didn’t go off and I slept through the game.  That thing was on like 20% charged and it wasn’t enough to see me through 🙁 So I checked up on the results this morning and: “Steve Gerrard “The whole team is behind Rob Green”. In retrospect, that’s a good place ...

Before kickoff Looking forward to a good night of football.  Sounds like I didn’t miss too much with the France vs Uruguay scoreless draw last night. I’m going to flick between Korea vs Greece and England vs Australia in the rugby.  Then go to bed then get up for England vs USA at 4.30 am.  Hopefully I can get by ...

45 min. I’ve actually made it home after a night out drinking for the opening game of the tournament.  It’s only halftime and I’ve already got into some shit-talking with Matt. Seriously though, I hate Italy so much.  So much.  And they will pay for that injustice that was the 2006 World Cup.  It should’ve been the Soccerroos. But we’ll ...

What an excellent weekend. Friday night my ladyfriend arrived down from Devon and thanks to my friend Mr. Jamie Oliver a fine feast was prepared. After an evening out on our rooftop terrace under a balmy June sunshine, an impromptu night out to KoKo’s was on the cards. Saturday was met with the ultimate hangover cure… a day out at ...

I’m really digging the Guardian’s free photo-a-day app Eyewitness.  It does exactly what it says on the tin which is update each day with an interesting photo from someonewhere around the world.  I’ve add a couple of my favourites from the past week. Also, I downloaded the The Chaser app ...

Dom lent me his copy of Forza 3 a few weeks back and I’ve had a chance to start playing through its career mode.  TFW readers with long memories might recall that I was quite a big fan of Forza 2 back in 2007.  The game looked great, had a deep career mode and the driving was very accessible.  Best ...

0 min This is the first of two remaining friendlies for the Socceroos on African soil before the competition kicks off. 45 min It’s scoreless at halftime and so far, we’re looking better than we were against the All Whites.  My biggest concern at the moment is how I’m going to keep my sanity for the next six weeks listening ...

For Jen and I, one of our favourite places to eat out if we’re in the mood for steak, is Char Char Char on Eagle Street Pier.  This fanciful and ever popular monument to meat-eating has some of the best steak in Brisbane.  And don’t they know it.  If there’s two constants that we experience when we come to Char ...
