Nice work there David, getting up in the cold and taking the kids to sport on the weekend is like a rite of passage.

Whenever we kick the footy I have to pester my grandson about his ball drop. If he holds it properly, his wrists come up and he flats it like a mung torpedo. I'm trying to get him to kick like the kid next door who is a brilliant little footballer but holds the ball pointing down with hands across it. When he does it, he can kick a drop punt, when his concentration invariably lapses it could go anywhere.

Do you get outside and kick the footy with him? Work on his marking and skills?

Yeah, good stuff. The grandson watches F all sport on TV, just enough to pick up bad habits when he tries to play, but he has a go at everything.

I reckon Cricket will be his go, he can bowl properly with pace and hit to all areas.

It has now officially attained legend status, with a petition somewhere demanding it be opened again! It even has its own 'scandal' documentary:

(If you can't get that in Oz it's probably on YouTube by now).

The poor bloke probably did genuinely do his best. If he can get past the shame and embarrassment he could properly cash in!
LA now has its own tribute event!

Nice plates. I thought about going for the Magpie theme when I got mine but I didn't want the ute to get keyed in carparks. :P :wink:

Get the front and rear dash cams from the dealer, at least then you can put video of any arsehats up on social media. :wink:
