Cagey's Cat
Wanderer physicists,
The way to resolve Murray's Dilemna as to his existence or not, along with
that of S's cat, is for one of us to make a measurement. One of us needs to
look in on Muz and observe whether or not he is alive and where we think he
is.
To start this process, I made several observations last night between 6.40pm
and 9pm at Tum Thai Stadium. Based on my observations, which were
standardised to World Research Organisation methods, I am reasonably certain
that Muz was NOT at Tum Thai Stadium. But the universe is infinitely large,
so I cannot locate his being simply by ruling out a single set of locational
coordinates. I must simultaneously make an infinite set of measurements
across all coordinates in the universe, down to the sub-atomic level, before
i can conclude whether he is here or there. This assumes, obviously, that he
is within the universe I speak of; if he is not, I suggest we cease all
communication with him now because he ain't ever going to show for the
Wanderers.
I propose a pilot project, to help identify whether or not Muz is alive and
can be locationally pinpointed. At exactly 1200 EDST today, I request all
Wanderers to observe whether or not Muz is within their vicinity. I'll
compile your individual reports and assess the results in the SCW lab. If
the pilot is successful, we may wish to promote an expansion of the study to
all inhabitants of the universe.
Yours quantumly,
Bombus Terrestris

I've been worrying for some time about the meaning of football, and
although my dilema is by no means resolved, i've decided to end
speculation with some empirical research. this means i'll turn up for at
least one game in the near future, the actual date to be determined by
monte carlo simulation.
as to my physical whereabouts at any one given time, i must admit i'm as
uncertain, yet as boxed in, as schrodingers cat.
as far as i know, i'm still alive.

Cagey Asks the Big Questions - Stoffaduka Replies
I am happy to confirm that I have very much alive, despite rumours to
the contrary. The deep pain of being unable to appear for the Wanderers
on Wednesday nights has rendered me incapable of participating in the
regular email banter. Various Rugby World Cup, PhD and work engagements
have exacerbated this pain.
Despite a strong lobbying campaign on my part, I was unable to convince
Bruvvers FC to join a non-Wednesday competition, and I couldn't leave
the struggling club to battle relegation without my midfield
exuberance. We went down 3-1 in a tough encounter last night - we had
no reserves, they had two, and yours truly was struggling not to throw
up towards the end of the game. Nevertheless, I was responsible for our
goal - my long distance strike glancing off the back of their sweeper
and finding the corner of the net. This leaves us with a draw and a
loss from our first two games, a better start than last comp at least,
where we eventually finished 6th (out of 8).
Hope all is well at SCW and all are continuing to fill their respective
roles with aplomb.
Cheers, Stoffaduka (Sister Club Correspondent)
Cagey Asks the Big Questions
We have a confirmed 6. Usual suspects, all of them (apart from the club
rebel, who should be labelled a most unusual suspect).
The big questions remain:
- did Camikaze again miss out on selection for the Wanderers for
failing to
attend a compulsory spelling test (the answer to which is, of course,
S-C-W), or will he make a surprise appearance sporting some facial
hair phenomena picked up on the Apple Isle?
- is El Presidente intending to continue his rich vein of form
tonight with the Wanderers or is his flash-in-the-pan season over before it began?
- is Playmaker intending to bring out the backheel, or has he gone
underground in some Defence bunker backwater for the evening?
- is Van Hankelroy back on deck after a tough week with the SCW
Ladies, or is he still tied to a headboard dressed in little pieces of
carefully placed leather?
- is El Muth the man of discourse (from the Greek, meaning Football
Pitch) that he profers to be, or is he insubstantiated by his philosophical
meanderings and so unable to field a physical presence at Tum Thai
Stadium
No. 2?
- is Stoffa even alive?
and
- will the ghosts of Wanderers Past be there to trip us up when
we're clear on goal?
The only to find out is to turn up tonight. See you there.

Cagey and the Wednesday Blues (complete with CanCandancers)...not to be missed performance

mean a potential cancellation ? I'll be there with a
slight cold. W promised to play despite a recent food
poisoning. Any other sick players ?

======================================
Wazza:
Case of food poisoning revealed to be flu apparently...I'll have no
energy, no skill, no enthusiasm, no glory and no luck, but I will have
presence (not of mind but body).
So, to see Cagey perform (I have no interest in the Can Can dancers at
all, honest Pip) I will turn up, even if it kills me.
So, lads, big night tonight as a practice run for Balbo's return next
week...

A Note from Your Secretary General
I apologise for being out of contact for a little while. I have, however
been monitoring my email and been appropriately entertained by
content and slag-offs.
I have also been participating in a few benchmarking projects whilst here, and one of my findings has been that all of the medium size bureaucratic organization here have a 'Secretary-General' rather than just a 'Secretary'. I therefore request that my title be altered to 'Secretary-General' in the interests of best practice and allowing me to serve the club in the best possible way. This would in no way affect the existing power structures dominated by President Iainamoto and
Chairman Comrade.
In another investigation, it appears that our popular website has been taken off the e-waves in what I can only think of as deliberate censorship of the club. This may be due to the Club's unwavering refusal to rename Tum Thai Stadium to 'Telstra Stadium' for a couple of grand. I therefore >propose a boycott of all Telstra products and services, and ask SCW Webjockey to investigate. The fact that no-one has noticed our apparent e-death is also interesting ? does that suggest that not many people visit our site?
May I also add that this Wednesday is my 30th birthday, so I would appreciate it if our coming Wednesday fixture could somehow incorporate this as a theme. Perhaps it could be first to 30 before the match finishes, or even that Hanker's 30th goal is dedicated to me. If you agree, I will
sit by my SCW shrine on the verandah with a gin & tonic at 2:30pm as you are kicking off, so that I am in solidarity with you, my national cadres.
As a general invitation, we've now got cable TV at our house here, so anyone who wants to come over to watch Euro 2004 here is most welcome.
Plus there's four hours difference from Coogee so the games will be on at a more reasonable time. There's not much else to do here though. Apart from beers on the Mekong of which I have partaken at your request, Storrierenko.
Yours from the newsdesk,
A. Balbo.
Secretary-General-elect
