Are you stealing lines from Dave K ?
Please be original oh and maybe even correct

It’s winter here so snags on hold for 5 months

Did you participate in Melbournes Midsumma March?

What are you doing awake at 3.30am ?

In answer I say no but when I arrived in Melbourne 8.5 years ago I went to see England play at the MCG v Aussies in a One Day match.
I messaged a friend to say I was walking on my own to the MCG and 'crashed' into a Gay Parade.
He messaged back saying I was in a Gay parade and stumbled upon the cricket.

Talk about commitment - who else has to get up at 5am to watch FC play ?

Sleep is for wimps.



Your friend knows you better than I do.



You could invite Freddie Miller and Sheldon round for a menage a trois.

Think it could be tight tonight.
Good team on paper are Catalans and they'll wanna defend the Cup just like we did.
Looking on the bright side, a defeat could mean an Aussie signing announcement next week.
I am perusing the Bolton Holiday Inn website just in case we turn up tonight, mind.

Didn't come for the 2013 loss but was there for the others plus 1959 and 1960 when I was in England. Before I also shuffle off I would like to see 1 win at Old Trafford. First time I saw Hull become champions was back in the 50's in Manchester at the Blues ground.

I will be up at 4-30 am when the TV transmission begins. This evening I am going to Penrith to watch the Panthers v Manly match as a pipe opener for the KCom match. Probably get about 4 hours sleep tonight which is enough at my age!

Then we have a similar history Freddie. I was at all of those matches as a teenager and the memories don't leave you (especially the heartbreaking Wigan and Wakey defeats).

Think we’re all getting a bit edgy with such a big game coming up

The 1980 1982 draw and 1983 and 1985 losses were about as much as any teenager should have to take

I've relented and decided to go. I just hope the team turns up tonight. I'd feel better if ellis were playing but hoping we can get the win

I am glad I have to work but knowing our lot they will make it a game that I wished I had gone to.

@boxofchocolates

it's not the people who have to pay there hard earned money and make an effort to go to the match , it's the ones who have to get up at 5am in their beach house who I feel sorry for.

You wouldn't let it lie !

Hope Marc got his radar working tonight it’s proper gusty.

Chip and run turn them big fellows round all night, come on yu ulllaaa
