I recently finished reading a copy of John Kennedy Toole’s A Confederacy of Dunces on a recommendation from Something Awful’s Book Barn. It tells the story of an obese and slothful middle aged man named Ignatius J. Reilly who lives with his mother in New Orleans and is forced to find work for the first time in his life when ...

I’ve alluded to it before in the last two years but now I’m seriously considering doing the unthinkable: I think I might buy a FIFA game instead of Pro Evo this year. It’s not a decision to be made lightly. But first, a history lesson:  Football is an important part of the fabric that makes up some of the friendships ...

Well this was a fucking horrible thing to wake up to this morning  🙁 MISAWA PASSES AWAY AFTER BACKDROP IN HIROSHIMA MATCH Mitsuharu Misawa, one of the greatest pro wrestlers of all-time, was declared dead at 10:10 p.m. Saturday night at a hospital in Hiroshima after being dropped on his head in a tag team title match. Misawa would have ...

So I booked in my Facebook username today and went with a rather predictable “facebook.com/edo.inoue”.  I’m still not sure I understand the point of having a Facebook Username but there was a lot I didn’t understand about Facebook when Pat first recommended it to me two years ago. I went out drinking last night with a friend from work in ...

Firstly, the Fatweb is looking brilliant – Big Thanks from me to Edo, Munch and everyone else involved. This member dashboard is also just badass, a real improvement on the other one. Finally good to see some more recent posts from Dan and Angela. I put my hand up as someone who mainly uses Facebook these days for social networking, ...

With the tournament, comprising of the winners of competitions held on each continent, set to kick off this weekend Italy decided to let the children and also rans out for a play against a full strength and oringinaly ...

A fair amount has gone down since i last blogged and it wasn’t even all that long ago. i was lucky enough to attend this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo and to say it was an interesting experience would be an understatement. i was jetlagged as fuck but did get to see a ton of games and it is ridiculous how ...

I like to blog about life in Australia.  It’s got plenty of charming idiosynchracies, colourful characters in the public eye and very brown geographical features.  I like blogging about Brunei and my memories of growing up there.  I don’t blog very often about Britain.  I really should though.  I have family there, many of the TFW bloggers call it their ...

After the inevitable admin errors my FATblog permit has been granted and I am ready to blog away til my fingers fall off, or my boss catches me.. probably the latter. That’s correct my last sentence remarked on the my current paymaster, and due to having one of those it is a fair assumption to make that I have found ...

I flew back to Brisbane for the Queens Birthday long weekend.  Not only was it a chance to spend some time with Jen, we were both also invited to a trip to northern New South Wales with some friends for a camping trip.  Jen hadn’t gone camping for about six years and I flat out could not remember the last ...
