I've been on Australian tv

I was hoping to see a bit of the morning session of the Third Test this evening, but it appears to be have been chucking it down in Birmingham and the place is half underwater. So I'm watching the best goals from the last Premiership season - it's been a pleasant reminder of the UK winter months, seeing players in driving rain and wearing gloves.

I've a busy few days ahead - two tutorials in the morning tomorrow, then after lunch I have an interview at a school in the city. I've got a few other leads to follow up on as well in the next few days. At some stage I need to write an essay on the Tasmanian Aboriginals which I've been putting off all week due to other work - I wrote a short essay last night on antisemitism in nineteenth century France. So I have actually been working pretty hard. 

I'm doing the annual, offical 7km Bay Run this Sunday morning, which is not far from here. Whilst I was registering online, I also signed up for the Bridge Run in September which is 9km (all part of the yearly Sydney Running Festival) and finishes at the Opera House. I thought about the half marathon in September (for about 3 seconds) before wisely thinking better of it. There is a huge "City to Surf" run around the city and out to the ocean beaches, but it's already full unfortunately. It's probably just as well as what's left of my knees will have caved in by then I expect.

Given this post is pretty dull (yes, yes, I know they're all dull), I'll leave with my favourite stunt from last night's episode of the Chaser's War On Everything, which has only just got on to YouTube. Kit and I recorded the show, and yes, when the camera does a sweep of the audience, I'm there on screen - for all of about .5 of a second in the corner. But it counts. Anyway, enjoy this short section called ConfuseAGuard. It's brilliant.
