(I barrack for whichever team has the nicest uniforms.)

I really do live in the wrong town.


All around me, people are discussing the footy, the soccer, the latest... err... other game that people play...

See - I'm so un-sporty that I don't even know what other sport they'd be discussing at this time of year. And yet, I live in Melbourne. Melbourne where "Who do you barrack for?" is a standard question the first time you meet someone.


Somewhere in the world, there must be a town where people don't care about sport - but get into extremely passionate discussions of novels over the morning coffee. And someday, I'm going to go live there.

In America we don't barrack for teams; that's what we call the president.

Instead we root for our favorite team. I think it's a much more pleasant and romantic way to express our support, especially when done with a partner.
