Well after a rookie tipping year that can only be described unbe-bloody-lievable it was time to hand over the loot. At the start of the year Morgs and I put a 6 pack of Crownies (for him) against a bottle of red (for me), with the winner to recieve the prize at the end of the season.
Who would have thought it?…
So over lunch today at Giardinis (a cafe in Leederville with brilliant staff and great food) Morgs parted with the goods and congratulated me on what he described as an ‘awesome year’s tipping’.
‘I don’t know how you do it Hamo! I only wish I had your amazing insights and depth of sporting knowledge. You are incredible!!’
I think that was what he said…
Sadly Giardinis isn’t a BYO so we didn’t get to polish it off over lunch, but it was a great time anyway! Maybe next year Morgs 🙂
gambling is a sin, you should be ashamed.

I bet you it’s not …
I’ve wanted to get a mention on your blog for years and now I do…for this. The shame! Been watching and going to the footy for 28 years and after winning the comp last year I get knocked off by a first year rookie. As they say in footy…there’s always next year!
Rev – which bit of Leviticus has that in it?
Must be leviticus, it the most entertaining book.
I like this one – specially since I work in the Disability sector.
” 16 The LORD said to Moses, 17 “Say to Aaron: ‘For the generations to come none of your descendants who has a defect may come near to offer the food of his God. 18 No man who has any defect may come near: no man who is blind or lame, disfigured or deformed; 19 no man with a crippled foot or hand, 20 or who is hunchbacked or dwarfed, or who has any eye defect, or who has festering or running sores or damaged testicles. 21 No descendant of Aaron the priest who has any defect is to come near to present the offerings made to the LORD by fire. He has a defect; he must not come near to offer the food of his God. 22 He may eat the most holy food of his God, as well as the holy food; 23 yet because of his defect, he must not go near the curtain or approach the altar, and so desecrate my sanctuary. I am the LORD, who makes them holy.”
Grendel – how/can you reconcile that?
Rev – you said in a previous comment,start from Jesus and work your way out never the other way around … what did Jesus have to say about gambling? I have indeed been thinking about this and your comment, which at the moment I do not agree with.
Mark – I can’t/don’t.
I think people are whole even if they are missing/have extra bits.
my comment didn’t appear, what up with that?
I have posted a comment four times now, with different wordings and everything and for some reason it won’t post. Sorry guys
well I guess I can only post nonsense not real posts, this is very frustrating, six tries now to respond
I was kidding
rev
are you disagreeing with my gambling joke or my interpretation criteria
Rev – I had this problem recently – are you posting a list or table? Or something with dot points? that is what was stopping my post.
no, just posting something a bit longer
Also, Grendel, I know you like to roast your own beans, but if I sent you some fair trade stuff, roasted by some friends of mine, would you write a review?
rev
Sure Rev – can do. You can email me at cafe(dot)grendel(at)gmail(dot)com.
I will have them send it directly to get it there fresher, they take their coffee very seriously.
