Coming to THE CAPE in 2010!!

Even more threads about Cricket!

An exciting lawsuit in which FIFA accuses 'The Cape' of trying to profit from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, as we are named after The Cape of Good Hope!

Sports, sports and more sports!

Ladette To Lady!

i somehow don't think we'll see a 2010 L2L after last season

maybe LJ could finally get a Rocktober appreciation day.

No,

why not?

fyi

He will probably be banned by the time October roles around, why waste the date? Plus he is a Johnny come lately Fall fan :P

if Kate's back, that must mean J0rdan S is back tomorrow

i figure if there are appreciation days for posters that don't care for appreciation days, maybe it would be better to have one for someone that really appreciates appreciation days.

Un: There is no way we'll ever see another Aussie Ladette to Lady. That first series was lightning caught in a bottle. That second series...was a bunch of charmless girls who liked to expose themselves a bit.

Deux: We had LJ Memorial Hour this year, didn't we?

Trois: The short answer is "no".

Quatre: Meh.

Cinq: That NME Top 50 of the 00s is such a self-parody that you can't make jokes about it.

LJ is the type of chap that Mark E. Smith would drunkenly try to punch at btw.

and you aren't?

fyi I appreciated memorial hour and don't rly care about not having an appreciation day if they day is instead devoted to a LEGEND OF THE SHEFFIELD SHIELD or the Pissweak Kids

and I'd not actually say anything in the presence of MES, I mean what can you say

Cut the self-deprecation, we know you want your own day.

rocktober is mostly about aussie culture ephemera and crude meta zing action tho...anyway if i was gonna have my own day before i'm certainly not getting one now!

I am thinking Timmy Zoehrer Day, in tribute to Australia's 39th Best Wicketkeeper Ever.

uh, a lot of the people that got appreciation days this past rocktober have no connection with aussie culture.

lol searching for 'pissweak kids' lands you with yet another example of what makes COGH great: "They'll ever bring back the Watney Cup": your favourite defunct and/or pissweak sporting competitions and cups

and yeah otm, life owes that dude a break (xp)

I totally disagree with that statement, Louis! The only link I could find with Aussie culture is ICY COLD CAN OF COKES, which actually is more specific in its aim at Australian Commercial Radio culture. Which is the reason why ROCKTOBER exists. Please do your homework.

But it has evolved into a celebration of ILX, pizza subs and Peter Gabriel which I am sure you are aware of.

well there is that

imo some more ILXORS ON PARADE wouldn't be amiss

do you fear rejection?

As an aside, I just realised that by this time next year, Australia will have won back The Ashes.

I only came here for the Parade crap, been let down for years now.

Nathan Hauritz and Dougie Bollinger are gonna put the FRIGHTENERS on our limpwristed middle order right

and yeah obviously I fear rejection over a hypothetical appreciation day which I wasn't even thinking about

"Some of the chippy, crappy stuff is an insult to people who pay for the game. Hey - and that's you people out there listening to this. You pay. Either through the turnstiles or by listening to us or watching the game on TV or buying the newspapers. YOU PAY!"

you asked me for an appreciation day.

COGH would be better with out all the cricket/rugby/Aussie football chat.

i figured backslapcember would be more my scene tbh - your idea for it was great! xp

svend, why?

oh, and more threads about CIDER

mods didn't think so. oh well.

I went to an Outback Steakhouse in the ghetto. I though of Mr. Pato while I was eating with the thugs, should have live blogged it. Marin County!

Marin County has a ghetto?

It did by the Outback Steakhouse :). My first trip to Marin City,

Uh, I don't think Marin City is very ghetto.

I live in Oakland.

Uhm there was projects up on the hill. I live in the Western Addition, trust me they were projects :).

The Western Addition is pretty gentrified at this point.

I have lived here snce college in the 90's, super hardcore.

My neighbor's name is Mr T!

He also is about 84.

yeah - they tore down a bunch of the projects in the 90s. I remember.

it's changed a lot since they tore out the freeway.

Looked on yelp, Outback Steakhouse was in Sausalito, but it was really, really ghetto. I grew up in San Leandro in the 70's, I know ghetto,

Freeway never came to Western Addtion,

yeah, but Western Addition got nicer after Hayes Valley got nicer after they ripped out the freeway.

xxp - did they call it Klan Leandro back then?

I dunno I was like 5 or 6.

Probably though. My mom said they had a "can't sell to blacks" deed.

Someone who grew up in Oakland told me about it. I grew up in the 70s in the South Bay.

By then we moved to the white ass world known as Castro Valley :). l0u1s jagg3r would have loved it, we played Fall songs in the 80's at school dances.

shit - we just got Wham, Whitesnake, and the Dirty Dancing Soundtrack. New Order if we were really lucky.

Well Rachel Maddow's brother was mr. Super New Waver, he wore a cape and did the music, I think. He did wear a black trench coat, but for here I will say a capre.

err cape.

The most famous person to ever come from where I grew up was Jeff Garcia who played for the 49ers.

Sounds like both our towns were sort of the same.

no choom gang, no credibility

Castro Valley is much more chi-chi than where I grew up. Probably closer to Morgan Hill than where I grew up, which is probably closer to somewhere like Livermore.

what is on the cogh horizon, dear king boy pato.

i anticipate some burgin, rugby, and rocktober

he might get over-busy and have to condense into rugtoburg

cuttin a rugtoburg

rug n burg remix

All your old favourites will be back but we having some exciting new events comin' up!!

:D when.

When you least expect it!!!!!

Or, more accurately, when I can drag myself away from the work/study/Nintendo DS.

Not to mention my punishing schedule of live-twittering television programmes.

~me whinging baot ADL (I AM IN ADL ATM!!)

happily in the airport

there are few reliefs on this good earth that rival being in the departures section of that airport clutching a boarding pass.

srsly. coming through security, on the other side I was greeted by a despicable covers band singing H&C. what the FUCK

although the COOPERS EXTRA STRONG VINTAGE ALE is making everything ok now

there are few reliefs on this good earth that rival being in the departures section of that airport clutching a boarding pass.

I spent two months in the departures section of that fine airport conducting surveys sans boarding pass. At least it has a) nice views and b) isn't the Gold Coast!!

btw has anyone dared try COOPERS CLEAR yet? I dunno what to think, I'm guessing it's just Coopers DB back in a fancy new bottle.

AFTER surviving some of the most terrifying conditions of her voyage last week, solo sailor Jessica Watson is now heading for the Cape of Good Hope.

out of the frying pan and into the fire

If that boat sinks and she dies around there, that's going to be TERRIFIC publicity for us.

yeah, maybe you could get Shakey Mo to post here.

uh "maybe"

maybe he could post about how he doesn't care that she's dead - all i'm sayin'

btw has anyone dared try COOPERS CLEAR yet?

As far as tasteless, aussie, low, carb beers go, it's ok imho

I'm hiring a boat so we can sink Little Jessica Watson just she enters Sydney Harbour. We might get some press from that, I reckon.
