My purposeful sleep deprivation will be on a break.

I can't do the games in a row thing like what I did back when I was in my early 20s

Just won't watch Spain vs Cabo Verde.

The second match will be fine for me to watch, and the rest of the other games are during reasonable hour like 8am and 11am Melbourne time (Iran's and Saudi Arabia). It's Tuesday. It's the worst day of the week for me and colleagues. Everything always goes bad on a Tuesday. So customers can get lost . I'll be watching the games.

This game finishes exactly when I leave the house for work.

Australia 2-0 Türkiye at the FIFA 2026 World Cup (27' Nestory Irankunda, 75' Connor Metcalfe)

[hpandotherthings]

This was 30 mins before kickoff.

The Fed Square Live Site was at full capacity. So excess fans were diverted to AAMI Park. It slowly filled up. Still a great experience.

The games

The first time the games are shown back to back at a reasonable time , especially on a weekend. This is hard.

I intend to attend Fed Square this afternoon to watch the Socceroos. I kinda want to watch Scotland play, but might just watch it on my phone on the way there haha.

Changes

This platform has changed so much, I feel ancient, and don't remember the dashboard being this difficult to navigate.

Hi, I'm back after 11 years

That last post , yeah heh I deleted that blog.

I don't know if I will continue on, I tend to abandon things once my interest dies (just like joining a gym, paying weekly but not actually stepping foot in them hehe)

The years go by, the older I get, the more nostalgic I become.

It's World Cup year. I was pumped for it when the world was slowly transitioning out of lockdown. The 2022 World Cup happened. Then fast forward to last year and then you know who got re-elected. I abandoned all plans to save and go to the US for this tournament.

I did end up waking the wee hours in the morning to watch the opening game Mexico vs South Africa game. It was a bizarre opening to the tournament.

The game itself, just the amount of red cards issued.

I completely understand the timed throw in's and subs, it reduces time wasting.

The hydration breaks. This is a controversial one amongst the fans. I totally understand why they inserted those breaks, but deary me, some broadcasters are putting on ads during those times. I know the only broadcaster in the world who has not decided to put in ad breaks it Telemundo (they respect their viewers). I am really disappointed in SBS Australia for doing this. I understand it's how they get money, but at the same time. It's ruining the home viewership experience! This is not a common thing for SBS to do.

The Czechia vs Republic of Korea was a great game to watch though. I just hope my colleagues didn't rat me out because it was on at 12pm AEST Melbourne time hehehe. I was watching it from the office.

Signing off for the night.

HP.

This is the end

New chapter, same story------->HERE

After long consideration, I just wanted a new one.

No expectations of follows.

This is the end.

Fin.

Ruth Teague

All I can say is that Ross never liked you (and your entire family) and your husband openly flirts with Demelza because face it, she's cute and you're not.

[hpandotherthings]

The tv show writers discarded the bit where Demelza said to Ross in the novel that she lied to him about not being able to take the dress off.

Simply He’s indifferent :) loved that scene, it tells a lot about ross’s character

[hpandotherthings]

This is why you were never cool at school, George.

This week on Poldark:

I get to witness the A C T U A L moment Ross Poldark falls completely in love with his beautiful, spirited wife. I mean, what is life guys?!

[hpandotherthings]

Episode 4

If there is going to be more Ruth Teague, bring it on.

I want to see Demelza bitch slap her so hard, she goes crying to mummy!

It won’t happen though.

Damnit. I need to read the novels

You know what people say of us.

             Yes.

                         If we behave like this… it will be true.

Then let it be true.
