This was a pleasant surprise.  Nick is a longtime reader of The FAT Website and a guy who I haven’t seen in over ten years.  I first got to know him when he lived in the same neighbourhood as my childhood friends the Priest brothers in Brunei.  I remember him being a skinny kid wearing the basketball tops of some ...

It’s been about a month since I last blogged about the Reds.  I missed their last home game as I was away in Melbourne for the F1 Weekend.  A short summary of whats been going on:  we won every single game and are top of the Super 15 table for the first time in over a decade. It’s been a ...

Red Hot Chilli Peppers – great band or greatest band? Have a great weekend everyone.  Not long to go till Easter break!

A few weeks ago I blogged about Jen getting me a copy of The Complete Far Side.  I just mentioned in passing to her that I was hankering to read some of my old comic book collections that I had when I was a kid and bam, she orders them the next day.  She’s pretty great like that. Not longer ...

This week, ...

Have a good weekend everyone.

Q&A Anyone who’s kept up with The FAT Website over the years will know that one of my favourite forms of television entertainment is politics.  Modern day politics is all about sound bytes, spectacle, name-calling and muck raking.  Whether its Silvio Burlusconi having bunga bunga parties, Donald Trump running for the White House or Muammar Gaddafi giving a speech under ...

Wrestlemania XXVII, the Super Bowl of the wrestling business, sees the WWE at a crossroads where the organisation seems to be going through a rather difficult transition from their current crop of stars to the new generation.  Many of their top tier stars such as The Undertaker and Triple H are likely only a few years or one serious injury ...

It’s Wrestlemania Weekend on The FAT Website.  So here’s a wrestling-related Youtube clip to start your Friday.  It’s a fan-made song called Custom Made which is made up of promo clips from ‘Nature Boy’ Ric Flair.  This is a pretty great song to start your day with.  Charlie Sheen has nothing on Ric Flair in his hey day. So without ...
