Post 100
Another milestone has been achieved in my illustrious career as a blogger...100 entries. It seems like only yesterday that we were packing to leave london etc.

Some said it wouldn't last. I killed them ninja style (did i do it any other way?).
Anyway, I rode down to La Perouse yesterday afternoon. All well and good i hear you say. Well, no. I heard this morning on the news that a convict escaped Longbay prison yesterday afternoon...just as i was riding past there! Had i come across him, i would have ninja-ed his sweet ass to the road, etc etc blah blah...numchucks...blah blah....star knife to spine....etc etc.
As some people may be aware i like to rant about various things. Today it shall be about the Commonwealth games. What is it about the australian media's insistence on knicknaming everyone? 'Madam butterfly', was given to Susie Oneil...she swam freestyle...logic! 'Superfish', Kieren Perkins. Just plain dumb, and i hate Kieren Perkins. Why you ask? I don't need a reason. 'Thorpedo', Ian Thorpe...ok this ones ok. I think a guy was named 'Goldfish' but i don't think it stuck, because he was shit in the pool.
Why don't we name some of them something interesting? Like 'cyborg dolphin guy'. Or 'swim really fast lady'. Or 'you better win or you're un-australian man'. Personally i like 'Mediocre luke warm never going to get anywhere swimming fella'.
