The Young Kids of Today

These young kids of today, sometimes I really don't get them, and it's then i feel old old.
Like for instance today at work. The NRL footy game at Telstra Stadium, I was sitting in my Box Office waiting for customers... when a bunch of young kids around say fifteen walk by the window. They stop out the front and talk about something, I look at what one of these kids are wearing, hes got a backwards cap on, a singlet, grey undies, and denim three-quarter pants. How did I know what kind of undies he had on, well his pants started around the bottom of his arse. Thats way too much undie show for anyone liking!
So to make matters worse, this kid I was staring at trying to figure out what kind of mother would allow her son to step out of his bedroom, little lone go out of the house to a football match, he comes up to my window.

"I wanna change this" he says to me waving his ticket in my window
"There are no exchanges" I say to him, as this is policy
"No, I want to change it" he says to me again
I sit there wondering if I was talking to myself
"You can't change it" I said, trying to bring myself down to the new generation lingo... which seems to have lost all common sense.
He gummbled and then walked off.

I am hoping to god that it was just that one kid who doesnt understand that when you want to change something you have already bought for something else from the place you bought it, it indeed is called an EXCHANGE.
Is it me, or is it hard to understand what an exchange is... I swear I even knew that at 15!

The Brown Couch Loser

So... I put on a pair of shorts today that used to be loose. Now they're somewhat tight. It was at this point that I felt I need to do something really drastic about this.

I feel fat, I could do with loosing some KGs and I have a gym membership.
I had a chat with Re this evening about loosing some weight and what we could do, as I know Re would like to shed some KG as well. We came up with a rip off of the show "The Biggest Loser"

The challenge is as follows:

The Brown Couch Loser


Objective: to be the biggest loser in weight - judged by the biggest percentage of your total body weight.

I.E. If you weigh 100KG and you loose 20KG you have lost 20%
If you weigh 80KG and you loose 18KG you have lost 22.5%

the 80KG person would be the biggest loser.

Entry Fee: $100.00

Time Frame: 3 Months - Start Date March 1st, Finish Date May 31st
