Meaty Mutterings

Well my first Meaty Mutterings Post. This is where I will talk or comment on events that, if they don't have a direct impact on me, are deemed significant enough for me to comment on.

Rugby Stuff

All Blacks vs France

France came, bent over, and were spanked 3 - 0 in the test series with the All Blacks. All is right with the world. Nuff said.

Lions vs Australia 2 -1

Lions go on to smack Auzzie in the 3rd test. As an All Blacks fan I'm not really sure how I feel about this one. If I was pushed to take sides I guess I would say go the Lions. But I dare say they will head back to the U.K with an overinflated opinion of their ability.

Robbie Deans vs Ewan McKenzie

This change needed to be made. With the talent Robbie Deans had at his disposal over his 6 year reign of the Wallabies, he should have had a much better win/loss record. I think Ewan McKenzie is going to be a huge hurdle for the All Blacks and he will certainly make Hansen and Co earn their money.

Karate Stuff

Training in a dojo in 35 degree heat with no AC is no fun. Half heartedly asked Sensei to buy an AC and he just laughed in my face^^. Can't say I was expecting any different...

Strange Stuff

The Japanese peel their grapes. I swear they do. And I don't mean they plop the thing in their mouth, suck out the middle, then spit out the peel. They PEEL the bugger strip by strip, grape by grape. You won't find this self respecting male sitting at the table peeling his grapes - I kid you not.
