Howard in "awarding sportsperson Australian of the Year" shock

[Spiff]

The Australian of the year for 2004 is Steve Waugh. Woah, there's a shock.

 

[mattt]

well he is a great ambassador for Australia, he does a variety of charity work and he one of the countries sporting great...well desereved

 

[Shannow]

Another sportsman as Oz of the Year.

This is getting old.

 

[Southy]

we as a nation love our sportspeople remember

 

[Shannow]

Yep, we do.

and we sell our medical researchers, scientists, and all their research overseas.......'cause we're a great sporting nation *hoists the flag*

 

[Southy]

Ya damn right..go a problem with it HIPPIE?

 

[Shannow]

*looks up from a chemistry text-book*
I'm preparing to give a chemistry tutorial later this week and need to perform at my best.

Well Mark Taylor won one and Steve Waugh is 100 times the cricketor, public speaker, Australian ambassador, & all-round general nice dude that Taylor will ever be.

Personally the worst choice was Pat Rafter. At the time of his win, he could hardly even be considered an Australian citizen.

 

[Goreripper]

I reckon Southy should get it.

 

[Dave_Mustaine84]

i would vote for Southy as the P.M.

 

[Wenda]

i would vote for Southy as the P.M.

Yeah, cos we need a fucker who can beat Bob Hawke at chugging a yardie

Usually I'm biggest critic of the whole "sportspeople are gods" mentality that this country (and the rest of the world I guess) has got.... BUT, Steve Waugh is a legend.

I even bought a pair of his sunnies and they rock.

He brought sledging back to cricket, I salute him

 

[Sydo]

Sledging.. what a crock.

 

[spawn]

Theres not enough punchups in cricket, surely one day there will be thanks to Steve Waugh

Anyone see the awards presentation on TV? I caught about 5 mins of it before I went out... but I went out pondering whether Sandra Sully would be ending up in the boot of Koichi's car. She looked fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine

 

[KoichCPA]

Sandra Sully is a mole.

 

[Dave_Mustaine84]

fuck off, Sandra Sully is fucking sick

 

[spawn]

SANDRA SULLY!
