Things that you rate!

Completing my first half marathon. My couch has never felt so good!

Well done.
Did the Half also, getting ready for Melbourne Marathon on Oct 9 and today showed
me just how tough that is going to be.

Good luck. I'm hoping to do a full one next year. All yesterday when I felt like stopping I just thought of those doing the full marathon and told myself to toughen up, they were doing it much harder! I admire anyone that can do a full marathon. It is such a great mental and physical challenge.

My local pub.

On Sunday's, they have a deal with $3 300gm T-Bone steaks. Have to pay an extra $1.50 for chips, and $1.50 for salad, and also have to buy a drink (doesn't matter what sort).

Went last night with the usual gang of mates, and then walked over to Hungry Jack's afterwards for a sundae. A steak, chips, salad, drink and dessert - total of $11.75.

Plus, go there every Tuesday night for the Pub Quiz, which our regular table has won five of the last six of, and am going to get along for karaoke on Wednesday nights as soon as I can find a couple of other equally bad singers who will join me up there.

Are you allowed to mention the name of the local pub or is this the ABC? Haha

Getting geared up for the Cup on Wednesday mate?

[CK]

Hahaha, yeah, the name would have helped - The Seaford Tavern

Yep, getting ready for it and can't wait. Always a belter of a day with the group that I go with. By all means, say g'day if you see me there, looking forward to catching up with safooty.net'ers on the day.

Makes them look pretty stupid putting through those twins before him.

No doubt johno. Mrs Valleys shed a tear and i was pretty close. Its great to know there are people out there like his foster mum, he got lucky really and is making the most of his 2nd chance which is a great story. Now i only hope the public vote based on his ability to sing rather than his appearance. Was a difficult song choice last night and gee he sung it well.

Not necessarily referring to literally "rating" things, but just things that make you think "Hell yeah, I rate that!"

Kicking it off: I rate Tit Monday

Tit Monday:

This put it best. I didn't write it, for those who thought I did but i'll claim it if you want me to:

"Ah, Tit Monday. It's not that far off now...

That glorious day when, heading into work on the bus, or sitting on the train, you find yourself suddenly chirpier than you have been in months. You find yourself smiling at strangers again. There is a mild involuntary tumescence in your trousers that comes and goes throughout the morning with the comforting regularity of a heartbeat.

And then you get a text around lunchtime from a mate which says: "At last, Tit Monday!" And you instantly understand why you are so happy. For Tit Monday is that special day in the year when, for the first time, the temperature rises above that magical point which causes girls getting dressed in the morning to decide to show a bit of skin.

After months of dull colours and chunky knit, the world's birds suddenly dive into last summer's wardrobe (they've not had chance to buy this season's stuff) and chuck it on without a thought. Your urban landscape is suddenly lightened with acres of naked arm and leg and, after many dark months of burrowing, breasts rising to the surface like moles at dusk.

Big breasts in white work shirts straining at the buttons. Small breasts braless in vest tops, the nipples frotted by ribby fabrics. Breasts in summer dresses bouncing in the distance so that they catch your eye before you even notice there is someone wearing them. Breasts nudging out from the crowd at traffic islands, quivering to cross the road...

And you know it is nearly summer. For previous generations, the arrival of spring was heralded by the sound of the first cuckoo. For us, it is Tit Monday.

Not that it always falls on a Monday. Like Easter, Tit Monday is a moveable feast.

And then, of course, there is Tit Monday Night. You see, in early summer, temperatures drop off very dramatically when night falls. But the dollies are not prepared. Slightly stunned by the morning heat, they drag out the summer clothes but forget to bring a cardie (a mistake they will not make again until next year), so that when they're all standing outside the pub after work celebrating the arrival of spring, their barely covered nipples have no protection from the cold. It's like a Bring-and-Buy sale where everyone has brought hat pegs. It's like a prog-rock gig where, instead of lighters, everyone is holding up nipples.

So when will Tit Monday fall this year? Will you be the first to text your mates with the announcement? Do not shoot your bolt too early. There will be false starts. You will smell fresh cut grass and see a couple of early starters and feel compelled to declare Tit Monday. But your more level-headed friends will tell you to hold your horses, keep your powder dry, don't fire until you see the whites of their bra straps.

As the poet said: one bold Northern slapper in a bikini doth not a summer make."

I can confirm Tit Monday was yesterday.

[Q.]

You should let SS know. Or is he still regaling Mandela with tales of rebellion?

SS is well aware Tit Monday has arrived. As well as many others who attended the races yesterday. Holy sh!te

[Rams52]

Yes Onsong, I concur! Great Day!
