We Interrupt This Program – Sports Mishaps.

Kain & Jas — Mon, 06 May 2013 23:04:37 +0000

Dubbed as the ‘most exciting moment in snooker history’ by one headline, the snooker 2013 world championship semi-final was humorously interrupted by an audience member on Friday. Just as Judd Trump was lining up a difficult shot in a game against opponent Ronnie ‘the Rocket’ O’Sullivan, a possibly over-excited fan decided that he or she [...]

More Joyous Drama, Causing No Joy.

You have probably heard about the current feud between Gai Waterhouse and John ‘Singo’ Singleton, and you probably know what the feud is all about. If not, the gist of the story is that Gai’s son, Tom Waterhouse, apparently let slip – in the form of a tip – to rugby legend Andrew Johns that [...]

As promised, here is the last section of the horse racing slang, M to Z . Enjoy! -Jas. M. Maiden – A horse who has not yet won a race, of either sex or any age. Mare – A female horse that is 4 years or older. Melbourne Cup – The pinnacle of Australian [...]

As a writer, I love language. I love learning new languages, learning the origin of a language, or the true and original meaning of words. It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise then, that I love learning the slang of particular subgroups of the population. It is very ego boosting to socialise with a [...]

The Entrenchment of Football Hooliganism.

There was probably a collective rolling of the eyes around the globe as news of another football (soccer) riot reached the headlines of the western world. Once again, mounted police were forced to intervene as Newcastle Utd fans took to the streets to vent their anger at their teams 3-0 loss to Sunderland. The main [...]

US Masters – Old Tiger or Young Blood?

I have to say this upfront – I am not a golf fan – in fact, last time I played real golf (not mini-golf… I love mini-golf), I only managed a 22 on a par 4! Admittedly, it was only the second time I had ever played, it was a dirt course, and I was [...]

Black Caviar- Greatest Ever?

Kain & Jas — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 16:17:17 +0000

I know I have been writing about Black Caviar a little too much lately, but I cannot help it – it is exciting to see such an awesome record of accomplishment unfolding before our very eyes. I am not the only one talking about this black beauty either – the racing world, the media and [...]

2013- Top 50 Australia’s Most Influential Sports Personality.

Kain & Jas — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 16:07:36 +0000

There have been a number of surprising additions to this year’s ‘The Australian’ annual Top 50 sports personalities, but I’ll start right at the top; whereby Michael Clarke skipped the middle order to open the batting! The Australian cricket captain jumped nine positions from last year’s list, giving him technically more oomph in his words [...]

In It to Win It? Webber vs. Vettel – The cost of Winning.

Kain & Jas — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 07:13:18 +0000

Please excuse my ignorance about Formula 1 racing’s Multi-21 rule, because apparently, most fans were already aware of it before the recent Malaysia leg; but let me get this straight… Formula 1 orchestrate their finishes? I was aware of quite a few of the team rules before now, but as an only ‘sometimes fan’ of [...]

A Horse By Any Other Name… Would Still Smell Like a Horse.

As I thought, Black Caviar charged through for the win at Saturday’s William Reid Stakes. That means she has managed a record-breaking 24 wins for 24 starts – phenomenal! So, have you ever wondered where the name Black Caviar came from? It turns out that her name originates because of two reasons; firstly, one of [...]
