Filling up the petrol tank with David Johnstone

Well so far I have given Bono directions

and delivered pizza to matthew knights
and we now have a 3rd celebrity that i

have run into. Went to Apco the other day

to fill up and i looked over at the pump next

to me and thought to myself that guy looks

a lot like David Johnstone the former channel

7 news reader that i havent seen on tv in a while and i knew

he was now living in Bendigo so there was a chance that it

was him. Went to the counter to pay and saw him pull out

his card with him name on it and that confirmed that it was

definately him. He had a very nice car too. So he joins bono

and matthew knights who is now the coach of essendon as

the famous people i've met by being in the right place right time.

Craig
ps i am leaving cos i have 47 seconds left
b4 i get booted off.

Bringing you up to speed

well i'll start with the basketball game
on monday the scoreboard says we won
but apparently it was a draw. We are now
on a 2 week break so we have some time to
re group before the finals which we will
hopefully win. now on to the bigger news

I have left the dominos pizza delivery
driving job so i wont be delivering to
matthew knights anymore even tho i
only did it once. I am now working at
a butcher.

Also i am currently living in farrell court
and i have been doing so for 2.5 years
but this weekend i will be moving out
as Erica and I have picked out the house
in which we are going to be living in when
we get married. As of Saturday I will be
at 1/48 Happy Valley Road which will be
the 4th house in bendigo i have lived in
and we wont have the internet there...well
not straight away. So i will be taking a blog
break. Well a break from not much blogging
is that really a break since i dont blog much.
anyway thats all for now ill be back.

Coach Craig comes up against former coach

Late last year my friend asked me if i could
play basketball in 30min before the game
started and im still playing and after a slow
start we are now quite a force in our league
and in what was a very close game a few
weeks ago the scores were level with 2 seconds
to go and we scored a goal right on the siren
and won the game.

now to last weeks game when i entered the
court i noticed a familiar face a few months ago i
was all set to coach golden square u12's and
so i met the club president who is also a coach
and he began showing me the ropes and stuff
then i got another job so at the last minute i
pulled out. Then during the game i saw him
playing for the opposition. I didnt know he
played basketball and he didnt know i played
and the game went on and we crossed paths
a few times and i played my best game so far
scoring 3 goals. The end result was that we
won and i can tell he wasn't to happy about
that so did he shake my hand at the end?
no he didnt. Now for the burning question

was my good form and the win motivation
to beat someone that i know?

was it a complete fluke?

is his team not very good?

does he even remember who i am and did
he forget that i exist?

is this bad sportsmanship?

just a few things to think about

Craig delivers pizza to Matthew Knights

I really should rename my blog
to the pizza delivering adventures
of Craig because that's what the
last 3 posts have been about, well
last night I was out delivering a
pizza when i looked at the recipt
and it said it was for Matthew
Kinghts and i thought hmmm
could it be THE Matthew Knights
because even though he used to
play for Richmond I know that
he now lives in Bendigo and does some sort of work
with the Bendigo Bombers and it was in what i thought
was an expensive part of town so there was quite a good
chance that it was him. Well i got to the house knocked
on the door with a tap tap tap i thought if it was him he
might be hard to recognise cos he retired in 2002 but
sure enough the door opened and it was him. which
means he currently holds the record for the most
famous person i delivered to which wouldn't of been
hard because he has beaten the guy from the toyota
ads with the moustache.

the suicidal dog

was delivering a pizza yesterday and i turned
into olinda street then discovered that i had
turned right when i needed to turn left to get
to the house i was after so i was about to turn
around when this dog jumps out in front of me
so i honked for him to move and i swung left
and so did he then tried to get around him
and he was only a little dog so i couldnt always
see where he was i could only hear his bark so
the chances of hitting him were quite good, so
i was moving slowly and braking whenever he
was in front of me. eventually i was able to get
away from him as he went onto the footpath its
almost as if he wanted to get hit or he thought
it was a game. Good thing the pizza wasnt late
cos i could hardly say i got held up by a suicidal
dog.
