'Tis Thursday.

1. Adelaide, Sam and Nick stayed over last night. Good times were had be all. Bed time was approximately 22:30. Not too bad.
   
   
2. The third State of Origin was played last night. Queensland had already won the series, 2-0, so really it was just a chance for either: 
   a). Queensland to humiliate New South Wales with a white-wash, or
   b).New South Wales to regain a bit of pride.
   Unfortunately, it ended up being the latter with NSW winning 18-4. 
   Melbourne Storm's Dallas Johnson & Greg Inglis were both taken from the field injured and given that I'm a big believer in 'These things happen in threes' I really feared for the safety and well being of the other Storm players out there. I wonder if Storm Coach Craig Bellamy made any frantic phone calls the QLD & NSW coaches in an attempt to get Cameron Smith, Ryan Hoffman & Matt King pulled out of the game... I think I would have. Luckily, they all survived unscathed.
   
   
3. So, the season finale of Heroes was shown in Australia last night. It clashed with Origin so I taped Heroes preferring to watch Origin 'live'. Kids in bed - finally - and Origin over for another year we sat down to watch it and things looked pretty good for all of about 10 minutes. Unfortunately Heroes never returned after the ad break. WTF? Someone must have accidentally changed the Foxtel (cable) channel whilst it was recording and I'd ended up taping a repeat of Malcolm in the Middle. Doh! Time to thank Mr./Mrs./Miss Torrent - again - for making it possible to download everything and anything from the 'net.  Thank you.
   
   
4. When did petrol reach $1.34 per litre???
