Like Griff said. That and I've hammered the following message into his school over and over again: you're smaller than the people you play against, if you go to ground you lose. Don't let them catch you.

To be fully accurate though I'd have to point out that he has different shoes for different fields and he is obsessive so he personally cleans all of his gear after each game.

NOM NOM NOM NOM!

I predict that LL will be a great success at whatever he undertakes. He has the desire and more important the discipline to do well.

Here are some pictures that have nothing to do with soccer. unusual for us, I know.

That second one is really a cool shot. To many freaking adorable sprogs around here :D

I love it when you can tell kids are related. They look so much alike, even with the age difference.

wonderful thread!

and here are all my children and grandchildren together, plus one son-in law.

ETA: ah, rats--you can't see it. It's a scanned pic. Will have to see if I can get a digital copy from the ex.

the newly braceless beestmonsterlets, RFN

very very nice. make sure they keep those trutainers where no animals can get near them. dogs freaking love the things.

I love this thread. Kids are awesome, and Cellar kids are awesomer!

Those are some wonderful smiles!

All our kids are above average. :)

No doubt!

Monster's kids do that a lot...they are a happy looking bunch!

Wonderful youts!

For those who wonder how Lil Lookout finds the energy to play 5 games of soccer in a weekend, I present you with his secret. 24 ozs of coffee before every game. WooHoo! ;)

Ha! That's a great pic, lookout! Great kid!

The Brits will object to it though!

I think lookout is telling us a furfy. ;)

yep, that's what I was talking about. :)

While I'm in this thread, here's Aden (left) receiving his award for maths at his recent graduation. He shared it with another boy (Alex) who competed consistently throughout the year in maths.

Well done boys. :)

Maths? You mean there's more than one? :eek:

republican and democrat of course.

Catholic and Protethant?

math NOUN: Mathematics.

maths NOUN: Chiefly British (used with a sing. verb) Mathematics.

They're still trying to figure out how to stick a U in it. ;)

Wow, Ali - major congrats to Aden, you must be so proud.
Lookout... dirty boy ;)

"Maths" actually makes more sense than "math" because "mathematics" is plural and so is "maths." But it sounds funny.

:eek:

Mathematics is plural because it is the collection of all the various math disciplines, not a plural of plurals. Them furriners just talks funny.

It's maths because it's an abbreviation of mathematics.

That is all!

Those are all. There are more than one math, right?

It's all called maths because all streams are covered under the one heading over here.

It's not the same as the US.

That's all.

Just don't cross the streams. That would be very bad.

You sure? :)

YES I'M SURE!

THAT IS ALL!!!

That's cute, but why are they getting the award from George Bush?

That's Pat Purcell. He recently had to 'resign' because he thought it'd be ok to smack a couple of his staff over the back of the head.

I wish he wasn't in the picture.

My kids need guidance. Three of them. This is my "good girl." The other two are reprobates.

Guidance, you say? I know a bloke, recently out of work, experienced at slapping heads...

PHOTO CAPTION CONTEST
 

Shame on you, buying booze when the child has no shoes. :haha:

I spent 14 days in Mexico last month looking exactly like that.

So much beer, so little belly.

"If I can find a way to get this stuff to come out of the dowas, I got it MADE."

"Here's where I keep the cheap stuff for the big people. I'm saving my single-malt scotch for a special occasion."

"Great, thanks! What are YOU guys gonna drink?"

"Seriously, Dad? I told you not to buy crap like Corona!"

This is Mav practicing for being homeless some day. We picked up the babys' cot yesterday and Mav decided he wanted to sleep in the box with all the foamy stuff. Looks like he likes it. I guess I don't have to worry about him if he ever loses everything. lol

This is Aden's first 'shiner'. He was wrestling with some friends yesterday arvo and copped an elbow to the cheekbone. I think it's going to be very colourful come the end of today.

Nina is growing up so quickly. She's about 19 months old and she's speaking Vietnamese and English. I am sure she's going to be much taller than my wife and me.

I'll post up a few fairly recent pics of her.

Here's a few more

She's beautiful - must take after your wife;)

My wife isn't bad looking either. She got skinny again right after we had Nina. She wants another one now.

very cute radar.

I did not know he was your type.

fuck. you, hlf! punctuations, not: really, something' I? worried, about;

don't worry lookout - he's just jealous

Ali, I meant to ask you whether it was a Boori cot on another thread.
But in the UK, Boori assemble the cot and take the packaging away, so I guess not.
Still, if the box is good enough to sleep in... whydya waste ya money on a COT?! Favouritism :headshake

I'd love an update on the shiner too please!

Radar, you have a beautiful wife and an absolutely gorgeous daughter.
And I am so pleased you are raising her to be bi-lingual.

Years ago I got a cab to the airport in New York, and the taxi driver said proudly that he was French and his wife Polish (or the other way round) but his children grew up to speak only American. I thought that was sad. I'm not big on roots (we're all mongrel over here) but I know how hard it is to learn a foreign language, and how wonderful it is to have one without effort. I envied my schoolfriends from Italian families enormously.

It made me laugh when I saw your comment about a Boori cot. Over here, Boori is a derogatory word for an aboriginal person. Oh the cultural divide is so great even though we try to pretend it's not. lol

Aden helped me put it together. It was pretty simple actually. Only took about 10 minutes, so I was happy. 10 mins is about as long as I can spend bending over these days. lol

I really don't know why Mav wanted to sleep in it, but it's not the first time. He still loves playing in boxes when he gets the chance. He's still a kid and I'm very glad. Aden is growing up way too fast imo. I wish he'd slow down, but I don't think it's reversable.

The shiner is mostly gone now. I meant to take a pic of it the other day when it was at its most colourful, but it's pretty much back to normal now. He's been telling everyone he got a backhander for being a smart mouth to me. lol Little bugger!
