You know...if anyone needs a blog....it's this man.
Instead he's got a column in a national newspaper.
Please feel free to insert your own analogy here.
eg. That's like giving a brain to a cube.
Or... a keyboard to a tone deaf platypus.
What? Never mind....
Please note, I do respect (as most sports lovers do) this man's amazing talent, incredible skill and Rugby brain. It's his personality I can't stand.

Truth is, he probably went back home and cried. Then combed his hair. Then watched all the tapes of his glory days. And wished he had a blog....
Of course he was rejected. Who the hell are these people kidding?
Why the hell would anyone want someone who makes snide bitchy remarks at every opportunity, purports to know everything about everything, puts everyone else down and is in total denial about his behaviour, is not just egomaniacal but has traits of megalomania (which would include accusing everyone of ganging up on him) and is cynical, bitter and twisted and thinks the world owes him something, around them?
I mean if the Wallabies wanted someone like that around, they'd call Ahmed.
Oh. My. God.
Dude needs to get laid.
...on a slab and whipped.
For saying crap like this;
...he's right about the last one though.
Thing is...there is NO back up for Larkham because there is no substitute for the real thing.
Russell Morris knew what he was singing about...
...damn he needs a blog....bayad...
As much as I hate to say anything disparaging about anyone and anything associated with Australian Rugby...except the ARU, they're not associated, they're the association... David Campese is full of sh...don't say it...
Campese may be a columnist but I have it in good stead that he's not a writer.
As in...not the writer for his column...think Caspar with a pen...and what thugby league 'columnists'...oh... excuse me for a second....
...hahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha!!!!!!...
I'm good now. Where was I?
...thugby league (breathe) columnists do.
Well Campo...you could try being morally nice and boosting morale and providing support to the team name..the name that made your name.
After all...you were on the receiving end of some pretty scathing media attacks...and if I recall correctly, you thought it was UNFAIR and POOR FORM and NOT RIGHT and something that MS Painters would do.
Well, okay I made the last one up. But it could be true.....
"
Now this is Cubism.
An art form where the artist depicts the subject from a variety of viewpoints to represent the subject as a bigger picture...and it still doesn't make any freakin' sense.
Caustic? Me? Noooo.
I'm just fed up of people like Campese and his blogger doppelgangers.
...I'm outta here.

Campese sticks to his word
He should have stuck to being a winger not a whinger.Wallabies legend David Campese has laughed off a snubbing from the Wallabies over a jersey presentation before last week's Test against South Africa in Cape Town.
Truth is, he probably went back home and cried. Then combed his hair. Then watched all the tapes of his glory days. And wished he had a blog....
The Wallabies have a tradition where a former player is invited to present a jersey to the game day captain before each Test, but Campese, who lives in South Africa and was present at the ground, was rejected as a potential presenter by the Australian players.
Of course he was rejected. Who the hell are these people kidding?

I mean if the Wallabies wanted someone like that around, they'd call Ahmed.
Campese has raised a few hackles on the back of Australian rugby with his critcism of the Wallabies in his regular columns for The Daily Telegraph and this is thought to be the reason behind his snubbing.
Oh. My. God.
Dude needs to get laid.
...on a slab and whipped.
For saying crap like this;
But the record breaking try scoring winger makes no apologies for his outspoken comments that have included saying George Gregan didn't deserve to be Test halfback and blasting the ARU for not having a back-up for Stephen Larkham.
...he's right about the last one though.
Thing is...there is NO back up for Larkham because there is no substitute for the real thing.
Russell Morris knew what he was singing about...
"Why should I worry (the jersey presentation snub)? Life's too short," Campese said in the Daily Telegraph.
I'm a columnist now and I think if you've got a strong point of view you voice it. I don't whisper behind people's backs. I say what I think and people know where I stand."

Campese said his comments on the Wallabies are warranted and he points to the statistics as back-up.
"What do they want me to write – that the Wallabies are great every week, they're fantastic and they're always playing great rugby? You'd only be kidding yourself to do that," said Campese.

Take a look at the record and tell me if I've been too harsh in recent seasons.
"The Wallabies have played 15 games away from home over the past five years against New Zealand, South Africa and France, and they have not won one of them. Not one.
"How do I make that look better?
"They haven't beaten South Africa in South Africa since 2000.
"Am I supposed to be saying how good that is? These days no one seems to do anything wrong yet the results are not what you'd call sensational."

I'm typing from the floor here. I haven't finished reading the Post. I only got this far:
Oh, I'm so looking forward to the
replyretort. I might even read it.This is so Pulp Fictionish, so Samuel L Jackonish. "Retort." "I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?" "Mmm Big Kahuna Burger. Do you mind if I have a taste?" (as little kiddy way out of his league shits and wets his pants) etc ...

the path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and they tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brother. And you will know my name is The Lord, when I lay My vegeance upon thee!

I used to love Jewel's music.... and then I saw her live in concert, she was a complete bitch, and I refused to listen to her ever again. My sister's the opposite. She can get over a person's personality dysfunctions and enjoy what they produce in spite of it.
I remember Fergie from the t.v. show "Kids Incorporated" as a child star. I used to LOVE that show. Who knew she'd grow up to be so... full of herself? So much for talent...
If only more people understood the power of being humble.
*sigh*

Oh. My. God.Dude needs to get laid.
I say this in response regarding anyone who
someone who makes snide bitchy remarks at every opportunity, purports to know everything about everything, puts everyone else down and is in total denial about his behaviour, is not just egomaniacal but has traits of megalomania (which would include accusing everyone of ganging up on him) and is cynical, bitter and twisted and thinks the world owes him something, around them?
or "boo-fuckin'-hoo you little bitch" whatever is more appropriate.
This post cracked me up!

Hi Lioness...
May I suggest you give your sister Jewel's poetry book.
That will cure her for good.
...I'm not sure how I feel about that (your sister's response)...it's quite an admirable trait.
It allows her a broader scope of entertainment and enjoyment and after all, there have been many gifted artists, musicians, poets, writers who are total and utter assholes...but their personalities didn't stop their sucess.
...I admire more the courage of conviction. Integrity.
I'm somewhere between you two.
I can separate emotions but not reactions.
I can respect someone's ability and/or gift but if I don't like the 'feel' of someone...then I can't immerse my (metaphorical) hand in the water...just lay it on the surface...and that makes no freakin' sense whatsoever because it is now after midnight and I'm sleeptyping.
As for Fergie...she should be charged with...black eye impeachment....!
Oh God that is sooooo bad!!
hugs Lioness
