The pathetic excuse for a paycheck?

Oh right, Ramadan ended. Being an atheist with close Muslim friends, it's hard not to appreciate that. Drunk Muslims all over the place :D

Drunk Muslims?Oh yes. Don't be fooled by the orthodox wankers on TV. Most of them aren't like that at all.Actually my Aunty is like that whenever she visits from Indonesia, not really the drunk but but she drinks the wine you see.Yea well, older religious people tend to be more moderate when they sin. The trick is to avoid people past 40.

That's the worst portmanteau I've ever heard. Is it meant to be 'mouvemeber'? 'Cos Mo-vember doesn't sound like anything.

P.S. I might join in next year, I can't be arsed this year though...

Not really sure if there are any great things about October, other than finishing off the auntum exams... which isn't a great thing before and when you're actually doing it. Not that the time after the exam is so great either. You sit around dreading the results... No, October isn't great. There are no great things in October. Apart from the parties after you've taken the exams... ;)

Yep, I managed to find it just before play started. Good start by the Kiwis, but Ponting & Martyn seem to be fighting back now.

The Second most Important One Day International Cricket Tournament, played every 2 years currently held in India.

Australia vs New Zealand in Semifinal 1.

Oz Qualified 1 in one Group while really being the 2nd best team.
NZ Qualified 2 in the other while actually being the better team.

The best thing about this past October...well, I got through two bottles of wine on my own, got a new hole in my ear, and got laid -- not all on the same night,though. I wish.

Hmmm a new hole in an ear and getting laid at the same time, how would that work? :eek:
