Welcome to the 21st century.
As part of the famous "23 things" I've set-up my first and probably only blog. Due to other commitments I am running late in actually setting up my blog and it would be embarrassing if I fall behind in the second week of the exercise.
I am actually writing this at 2.35 pm and I still have to do my footy tips for the week - which should take me an hour, so I don't have much time to be coherent or amusing (as if there's ever any chance of that happening)
I decide to call my blog "Broadmouth" as it's the name of a footy newsletter I publish and I am toying with the idea of maybe publishing the weekly letter as part of my blog. I wonder of this is how Murdoch started?
Today KBT tomorrow the whole wide world web!

Club song Richmond Tigers theme song
Oh, we're from Tigerland,
A fighting fury, we're from Tigerland,
In any weather you will see us with a grin,
Risking head and shin,
If we're behind then never mind,
We'll fight and fight and win.
For we're from Tigerland,
We'll never weaken 'til the final siren's gone.
Like the Tigers of old,
We're strong and we're bold.
For we're from Tiger yellow and black,
For we're from Tigerland.
Odd that Richmond never realised that Tigers are in fact orange and black.
Rivalries
Collingwood - Richmond fans have often depicted Collingwood as representing the worst stereotypes of the working-class; profane, unruly, aggressive and obnoxious. On the other hand, Richmond has depicted themselves as representing the best aspects on the class; passionate and tough.
Personifying the difference was a TV show hosted by ex-Richmond Captain Jack Dyer, and ex-Collingwood Captain, Lou Richards. There was Dyer, a magnificent physical specimen whose mere presence commanded valour, strength and dignity. Besides him was Richards; a sly little weasel who would rob his own mother if given half a chance.
In recent years the rivalry has waned as there have been no Jack Dyers in Richmond's teams and they are now about as intimidating as Bambi. As for Collingwood, it has become respectable now that Eddie McGuire has given the fans elocution lessons. The only consolation is Eddie has been unable to rid the club of its Colliwobbles and for many old Tiger fans, the next best thing to Richmond winning a flag, is seeing the Magpies lose one.
Richmond comments in regards to Collingwood Collingwood comments in regards to Richmond
"(Collingwood supporters) are obscene and abusive - really in your face when they're winning and taking it out on opposition supporters when they're losing," "You walk through the `grog squad' in the standing area behind the city goals and you'll see what I mean," (Jeff "Joffa" Corfe)
"Scumwood (Collingwood) are the ferals from hell . . . however we do run a close second." "Although the AFL is a national competition, the truly passionate rivalries remain largely local affairs. Richmond haven't won a premiership for more than 20 years, but whenever Collingwood play the Tigers there's an almost tangible energy around the place. " (Mick Malthose)
"I firmly believe that we all hate them 'cause they are like us - passionate, feral and complete nuts!"
Isnt *Broadmouth* Kangan for Talking Crap about Collingwood?
Football is NO joke
.... taken seriously it is a test of friendship, skill and imgination.
You've got to create a dream.
Whether it is winning or not.
But a dream within a dream is NOT.
.. more like a nightmare.
The problem is hearing about that bloody footy 365 days in a year.
The worst thing ...
I have to hear it again and
again ..
I find it entertaining ..
I go into another room and do the housework.
Why no photographs? Why no pictures? Its soooo black and white
