Prince William - Romantic or Cheap Bastard?

Prince William has finally proposed to his long-term girlfriend Kate Middleton. I hear that he has given her his mother's engagement ring. Is he being a romantic or is he just a cheap bastard? There must be one or two jewellery shops around town who would have given their eye teeth to be in a position to sell him a ring.

Don't know that I'd want to accept a ring that belonged to someone who was unhappily married and who met a tragic end. Tragic because I missed a whole quarter of the football match between Essendon and Adelaide so they could tell us the news.

Straw poll - what do you reckon?
1. Romantic
2. Cheap Bastard

Google Images - Phillipe Troussier

Whilst reading the news at lunch time today I spotted an article relating Everton's David Moyes stating that Australia deserves to host the 2022 FIFA (TM) World Cup although he didn't think too much of the pitches on offer in this country. To the right of the article was a poll for "Who is your pick to replace Pim Verbeek as Socceroos coach?" This caught my interest and I looked at whose names they were putting forward. Names included Graham Arnold, Marcelo Bielsa, Fabio Capello, Paul Le Guen, Marcello Lippi, Frank Rijkaard, Philippe Troussier, Aurelio Vidmar and Other. Had to do some searching with Google for Marcel Bielsa and Philippe Troussier as I wasn't sure who they were. Have a look at the search result, especially the images.


Images for Phillipe Troussier?

Judging from the pictures I think that Phillipe Troussier does a mighty fine impersonation of Bernd Stange, one-time much-loved Perth Glory coach. Well, there is a button to "Report images" but it's only for reporting of offensive material. Not to tell them that their image search is a little muddled.

Poll Result



There's always one, isn't there? Well, I did put the third choice in so I guess I asked for it.

The reason for the poll was that I put my left leg in my sock, shoes or trouser leg first - and I'm right handed. If everyone else had the same habit as myself then the poll should have shown that 7/8 people did the left leg first as only 1 in 8 of the population are left handed. Either I'm strange, hardly debatable, or my poll wasn't a large enough slice of the population to be significant, quite possibly so.

Facial Fuzz Poll Results - the moustache has it.

Full-face beard.

The goatee.

The mo.

Hitler Mo.

It's all gone. The missus kicked up a stink when I got down to the goatee and it had to come off. She doesn't like beards but put up with my full-faced beard and hates goatees. It's an unhealthy hate. The mo looked alright but I knew she wouldn't go with it. The Hitler mo probably wouldn't have been suitable considering the number of Austrians I work with. And the amount of people at work that were disappointed that the goatee left the building was lovely. If only they could have convinced the missus.

Should It Stay Or Should It Go?


Have your say. Should the goatee stay or should it go? Not trying to bias the results but the missus hates it. She put up with the beard ok but refuses my right to wear a goatee. It's a good stir.

Should the goatee stay or go?
	Stay - you look like a man.
	Go - change to a moustache.
	Lose it - get rid of the fuzz face.
