Sorry about the lack of posts in the last week, readers, but it’s been a busy few days for The Editor. After Monday morning’s red-eye Brazil loss (despite the fading world champs being out-played by the Footballroos) Ed had to start a really truly proper nine-to-five job in an office for the uni break. How do all the normal people in the world do it? Then on Tuesday it was a 4am start to a working daytrip to Sydney during which Ed had to put up with Virgin Blue’s WZVBGCAs doing their inane and homicide-inducing comedy routines twice in 12 hours (”Please ensure your seatbelt is fastened tightly around your neck… I mean waist” and “Please don’t leave behind any mobile phones, husbands or children”). And the ongoing fatigue this week has allowed no time for blog maintenance.

Arriving home this evening The Editor found a letter from a debt collection company politely informing him that he should pay $8091.62 immediately or his kneecaps will be politely broken. A quick phone call established that Ed’s identity was stolen some time in 2004 and used to rack up a massive St George Bank credit card debt.
“So you’ve not been to Canada in the last few years, Sir?”
“No.”

Tomorrow morning it’s up at the crack of sparrow’s for the Croatia clash and then back to the office before DrJimbo’s birthday drinks in the evening. The excitement never stops.
