1. Yep, getting a bit caught up. It's fun.

2. Yeah. Too lame-o and embarressing, though I'll admit giving it a good old crack circa 1996 at the cricket.

I have fond memories of 'come on, Aussie, come on, come on' from childhood. I'd much rather that.

3. Backing the car into a massive metal bin thing. Big dent.

4. CD's

5. Clothes

1.Yes indeed. Wishing I had Fox Sports so I could watch some of the lesser sports though.
2. Don't think I would ever call it out myself but can't think of a better alternative either.
3. Arriving at church on Sunday to discover that the saxophonist and I were the only musicians available to play. Many of my musical timing errors were therefore uncovered...
Sympathising with you on the car dent. Nothing comes cheap in the world of repairing cars.
4. Books, clothes, music, second-hand bargains
5. Shoes. I will wear the same pair until they fall apart to avoid having to go shoe-shopping.

1. Not me personally, but the kids are. So I did get up at 5.30 to watch the opening ceremony with them.
2. No. Excellent stuff.
3. From today: bought a length of fabric that is about 20 cm too short for my project. Ugh! Can't return it. Can't think of anything else to do with it.
4. Furniture for the house and clothes for the kiddies.
5. Clothing and shoes for myself. I hate trying stuff on especially.

1. Yiz gettin into the Lympyx much? - No, I don't worship at the sport god altar.
2. Should 'Aussie Aussie Aussie Oy Oy Oy' be banned? What would you have instead? (a) No. (b) How would you 'ban' it? :-) and (c) C'mon Aussie is a one sport (cricket) advertising jingle for Channel 9.
3. A forehead slapping moment from the weekend - telling my music teacher that I was good for a lesson this Saturday then having to text her half an hour later to say I remembered I'll be a conference.
4. I love shopping for..craft supplies, books, stationery.
5. I hate shopping for..clothes, shoes - nothing ever fits.

Crazyjed- Most males would be very happy to recieve a JB HIFI voucher..

Karen-Musical timing errors can be hidden if you keep a straight face and say that it was the free form jazz version of said hymn.

Deb- Maybe you could make a slightly miniaturised version of your project.

Al- I'm surprised it was only you and I , two sensible red blooded males who wish to part with Aussie, Aussie, aussie, whereas it was all of our female counterparts here, who saw nothing to shirk, in what is essentially a vile practice. Concerning.

Kim- I agree, lightbulb options are too varied. The world of science should vote on the best three, and those are the only bulb options here on in.

Laetitia- I know it's a cricket jingle, ut I think it could be ressurrected for all Aussie sport.

Yeah but I want to show that I have actually put some thought into the gift and not just gone for the cop out gift.
