Thursday, 11 May 2006 Talking Boony comes back to life My Talking Boony started talking on the weekend. He hasn’t shut up since.

Turns out one of the Nerds ( John Truong ) is a cousin of one of my team members, Anna Lui And another nerd ( Tim Kirk ) has contacted Cameron Reilly from The Podcast Network , to do podcast show. How funny is that! -----Original Message----- From: Nerds FC Fan Club Sent: Thursday, 11 May 2006 11:48 AM To: Frank Arrigo Subject: Nerds FC Fan Club ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + NERDS FC FAN CLUB NEWSLETTER   + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hi there, Welcome to another exclusive newsletter that?s just for members of the Nerds FC Fan Club. How?d you like the show? Some of the opposition looked pretty mean, don?t you think? Well, I have to tell you, I was there and if it wasn?t for the uniforms and surroundings, if you met any of those blokes outside the prison and didn?t know anything of their history, you?d think they were the nicest fellas you could meet. Other stuff about that episode you might like to know: - The match was played just outside Windsor, an hour north-west of Sydney and the 30 degree temperature the game was played in only added to the boys? nerves. - The program-makers wanted to give the opposition a Nerds FC t-shirt as a memento of the game. The prison authorities okayed it ? so the t-shirts were put with the prisoners? other private belongings which they?ll get when they get out ?.. which for some of the blokes won?t be for a while. - I?m not saying the prisoners were tough but I watched them training in the gym before the game. They were using the standard equipment you get in any gyms ? you know the ones where you put the pin in the pile of weights at one end and try to pull/lift or whatever. These guys were putting the pin in the lowest weight and lifting the whole lot. One guy even got one of his mates to stand on the weights and he lifted the whole thing. Have a think about all that and I?ll be in touch with you soon.
