Oddities at The Bus Stop + Aussie Rules

Today, while waiting for the bus to arrive, a lady excused herself and asked me a question;

Where is the Saturday market?

I replied;

Saturday Market? It’s Wednesday! Today’s market is the Wednesday market.

Yes, where is the Saturday Market?

The Saturday Market will be in the same place as the Wednesday Market but it’ll be on Saturday. Today’s Market is the Wednesday Market because it’s Wednesday.

OK, thanks very much.

Bizarre.

This afternoon, I’ve been watching a bit of Aussie Rules Football for the first time ever. I subscribed to Setanta Sports (the first time I’ve ever subscribed to a premium sports channel) and found Aussie Rules to be on and thought I’d give it a go. And the verdict? I really, really enjoyed it. For those lucky enough to have seen this terrific sport before, you’ll know how fast paced and exciting it is to watch. It must be exhausting to play. It didn’t take very long to work out what the rules were (Wiki helped out with the technicalities) and it didn’t take long for me to be well and truly absorbed in the match. Aussie Rules. It really does you know!
