Hasleby, the forgotten match winner

The West Australian, bastion of fine journalism (!), has two articles on Paul Hasleby, the forgotten midfielder.
He started his career in the best possible way, winning the Rising Star award.
However last year was probably his most dissapointing, suffering from groin injuries.
Seeing the pain, both physical and emotional, following the finals loss to the crows told the story.

My prediction is that this year he will make the difference. He is one of the best midfielders, and if it were not for inuries, who knows how Freo would have done last year.
My prediction, winner of the Doig Medal this year.

Sigh

If you have $4.40 to waste, you can now buy a ringtone on your phone which plays a pretty crappy version of Rich Mullens song, “Awesome God” among others. Although the sellers claim it is Hillsong Uniteds. Thats like saying “American Pie” was written by Madonna.

Ten Fish

AAPT

Why on earth would anyone use Big Pond for their phone and/or intenet access?

At Church, we used to use Telstra for both.
We had a fax line which cost us $30 a month for line rental, and which we used maybe once every two months.
We paid $36 a month for dial up intenet
Whenever there was a problem it took literally hours to get an answer

I switched over to AAPT
They gave us a “duet” line for the fax, which costs us $5 a month
I pay $39 a month for Broadband (512k download speed and 12, 00o Mb allowed)
They gave me a free modem and everything I need to set up.

Most impressive of all though is the service. I get through quickly, and everytime the person has been friendly and helpful.

I dont understand why anyone goes with Telstra, they are so expensive and so unhelpful.

Bidding for Nicael Holt’s life has hit $30, 000

See post below for more details, but this was interesting,
“A friend owes me $20. Another friend owes me a six-pack of beer which you can redeem upon winning the bid.
– The winning applicant should probably shout the next $20 worth of weed.
– Will need to become vegetarian. This can however be changed in the future.
– There is some tension with a former ex from a painful breakup which must be inherited.”
