Actually no sleeps till round 1. -
I don't believe it!!!!!!
The wife (a pretty strong Swans fan I might add) has booked us for a dinner party on Sat. night at a rugby household no less.
What do I do :
a) feign an illness and say I can't go (going to be a bit hard given I'll be up from 7am with kids footy in the morning).
b) go anyway and demand 10 minute snapshots of each quarter on their TV.
c) get a divorce, she can't be a real fan if she's gone and done this.Comment

What do I do :
... and get them to turn on the TV ... The dinner party will go for a lot longer than the 2.5 hours of footy ... especially when you have to celebrate the win !!!
PS ... Enjoy dinner ...

a) as you said could be a bit hard, unless you eat a dodgy sausage at the sausage sizzle fund raiser.
b) I think this is going to have to be the answer.
Alternative is to tape it and watch it when you get home or in the morning before listening to the radio.

grab a mobile that has a radio and sit with the earpiece in and listen to triple m's call. At least you'll know the result before the TV land viewers will.Here's my heart and you can break it
I need some release, release, release

Man, I empathise with you, I swear. So many Sydney people have no idea how insensitive they are when they do things like that.Originally posted by floppinab

I'd lay down the law & say I'll go to the dinner party ONLY if you can get access to a TV where you can watch at least some of the game.
Or maybe advise the dinner group that it would be highly advisable to have dinner during the half time break.

you can even feign dissappointment about not going.... all while you settle in on the couch, beer in one hand, remote control in the other
If the siren sounds in Tasmania, and the umpires don't hear it, does it make a sound?Comment

Start an argument with her, then she'll say "Well we won't bother going".Originally posted by australian_made
