Glee – Season 2 I only just found time to finish watching the two most recent episodes of Glee (Sectionals & Christmas) but now that I have a bit of downtime because I’m on Flood Break I’ve been able to catch up. I dug both episodes and they rounded out the first half of this season nicely.  I’ve timed this ...

It’s about time I gave everyone an update on how the Asian Cup is going.  It takes a certain dedicatation to watch as much terrible football as I do and at weird hours of the night too.  And because I’ve had all this time off work due to the floods, it’s meant that I’ve been able to stay up at ...

The flooding in Queensland in the past two days has had a disasterous impact on the whole of Brisbane and Suncorp Stadium has been no different.  The pitch is shoulder deep ...
