GAME Nannas versus Vagabundo Del Prias
RESULT n 1 : v d p 9
PLAYERS CG (mom), JH 1, TK, AW, RH

What a game of two halves. Firstly we were pretty surprised that the actual school had been opened for us. That was a good start. We were the tight five, infact we will probably be now known as the tightish five.
The first half was a relatively good one. It finished at 1:1. They got a cheeky one and then Jim was given a penalty, which he slammed past their keeper. At the change over we were realitively positive. The night was actually quite warm and as it turned out our run was stiffled by this heat. The second half was a victory to the nannas in that they didn’t get 10 goals against us. There were accusations that there was a “little” bit of anger directed AMONGST the team. I MIGHT has been a LITTLE bit responsible, but they still voted me as the MOM, so I couldn’t have been that bad. It must have been Jim.
The Nannas were really good in the first half and kudos goes out to them for that.
The night was turned on its head with the cookin though…
the Nannas went to the HUTONG DUMPLING Palace!!! Who ever thought that you could get a pork dumpling that had beef soup IN the dumpling!!!!!!!!!!!!INSANE!!!!!!!!!!
The Bamboos rocked a fine set afterwards at the Uptown Jazz cafe!

The third also rhymes with a turd. How many times should we talk about this pussy loss. We are playing these jokers this thursday night and let me say the Nannas were scared of the Aryan Giant.

Who would be scared of a massive built 8 foot tall blonde guy. He’s a blonde guy for christ sake. He is too busy remembering to breath let alone plotting your death!

There team came out hard and it seemed we all spat out our viagra within the first minute. If this happens again nannas I will play naked!

You are warned! This week harden the F*ck up!

Rhian will be cooking so stay hungry.

NANNAS VERSUS LAS CHIVAS (SEMI FINAL)

0 – 11

CG (MOM), TK, RH, AW, JH, DAN (RING IN)

The day the Nannas got a ring in for the finals. And we rightfully got slapped. This was perhaps a YELLOW point in the Nannas history. I know we are breeding and getting old and all that. BUT……

People tried to say that we played better than the 10 – 0 loss…interesting concept. Admittedly Las Chivas are pretty good, so lets just say that we held them to 11 goals. Jim at least tried to get into their heads (not beds) with some heavy pschological work, and the dude just replied with several very hard goals. Nice try Jimbob.

Thanks to Dan for being the man, those who weren’t brown enough for the gig must look at themselves in the mirror – day after day……If your excuse was cool, then cool…

The food after was Jim’s call and we flipped westside for some Ethiopian…it helped with the pain of rejection and disability.

It really was not pretty, no aspect of the game was good. The nannas were pretty bad. Everyone played like those Las Chivas fools wanted us to. Come this week when we employ the GUY FRASER emotional reacharound!!

We will be squeezing their oranges and making enough juice to swim to the winners podium. Las Chivas will have to change their name to Las Chicas after we finish with them!!

Start growing some respect men, it is only four days away! Time to shine!

The night did get better, at perhaps the true club house of the nannas “Supper Inn”. Every single time, those kids make the same goodness, so dependibly, so porkily!

THE NANNAS verus the REST OF THE WORLD

Results: unimportant…

CG; TW; TK; RH; CB; JH; DC; TH

The Nannas walked very tall this day. Who said that the nannas don’t put in for others. This was an indoor tournament that hand selected the best teams from each division. Of course the Nannas had to be there.

The teams were all MUCH MUCH more, shall we say, competant than the brown brothers of soul. The nannas never dropped their heads.

Much commendation must be heaped on our cheerleaders as well. There was a massive squad of brown believers. They cheered with such vigour that we believed what they were saying and it drove the nannas on to greater heights than they had even risen before.

Of all the games we played (3) we drew the first, lost the second 2 – 0 and then lost the last 4 – 2. These results cannot be relayed as to how well. we did. The second game, against a team NO NAME were rated as the competition”s best. To only lose 2-0 is incredible!!

The last game we played against our old nemessis “THE BULLS” the team made up of referees and people who had represented their country at indoor. Once again the Nannas shinned. I don’t know how brown can shine, but we rubbed it so hard we did.

Hopefully the nannas can take this form with them into the rest of the season…..

INAUGURAL TABLE TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP NANNA DIVISION

April 26, 2009Uncategorizedthefunkynanna

Andy Wong grabbed the bar and took that m.f. up to the top floor of the Eureka Tower, then he got a whole lot of sticky tape and stuck it on the roof. Now I’m not sure if anyone else can even reach the bar.

What started out as a harmless bye has been transformed into a potential monthly (every bye) event for the nannas.

We all floated up to the front desk and got our tables. Two, right next to each other (well booked Andy), the vision we beheld we ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!! Picture about 40 tables all crammed in close together, and nearly all of them totally full. People were going really hard, smacking the ball, uttering small cries, and even some load yells. Behind the table tennis tables, but still in the same hall were two massive groups of Karate Schools. More crazy noise was coming out of here as well.

Thomas had earlier done a draw, so every thing was ready…(for Thomas to collate some stats)…Balls were polished, bats were sized up and the games began.

Incredible table tennis was played, Dan Crooks had the sneaky serve from hell. Jim used his big wind up arms to good use. Thomas had shot of the night, and Andy the organiser nearly pulled Jims pants down.

The Funky Nanna took out the inaugural Brown moment with a clean sheet.

This was only the beggining of the night, as Andy Wong then announced that we would be off to the Supper Inn. On the way we asked Andy what time he booked. Oh my God, he said, I never thought……… Well, we were not happy, as we walked to the restaurant, the City looked jam packed we thought there might be a special code violation Jim could enact on Andy, when we were forced to wait in a queue.

When we got to the Supper Inn, THERE WAS NO QUEUE, in fact the stairwell was TOTALLY empty. Dan took out the camera to record the moment. Andy’s night was SAVED! to perhaps become one of the greatest Brown nights of all.

There was a small matter of Jim declaring himself the new captain, but we’d best leave that “in the closet”.

Nannas verses Los Pitufos

6 : 8

TH 3, TW 1, CG 1, TK, JH 1Guido

The nanna’s were down and needed a fillin. In comes the brazilian. Jim was at one point happy to hear we were getting a brazilian but I had to break it to him. Not that kind Jim…….

Whoever we played were good. They pressed us and pressed us. But at half time it was 6:6 and we were in it with a chance. Alas they powered on right past us…..

Jim still wished we really did get a brazilian each. Instead Kondo treated us to a very hairy dinner at a swinging Japanese joint down in deeeeeeep south town. Across the road from Glicks we gathered, all told our bagel stories, and got down to the japanese that promised so much.

And boy it hit the spot. Many thanks Kondo!!! Also Tao had a little anouncement to make as well. Maybe I will leave the suspense for his report!

Nannas vs The Dirty Waffles

2 : 2

TH(1), CG (1), TW, TK, AW, CB, JH

This was a very tough match. We faced off. Still with the bitter taste in our mouth of the random violence of the last time we met (chassY). We all eyeballed the big guy you tried to kill chassy with a knife last time. This time he turned out to be a good guy. It was another one of them. A geezer – one who looked at TAO and thought – here we go. Despite the madness no cards were shown. Despite Tao giving it his best, there was no reprimand. Also the mad told the ref that if he didn’t pull Tao up he’d punch him in the face – still no card.

So I started to slash car tyres – still no card, Andy was eating Greek food on court – no card, Kondo was doing a nudie run – cardless, Tom was singing the Carlton theme song – unbelievably no card, Jim simulated goodtimes on a picture of chassy on his mobile – no card, Chassy showering on court – no card, but Jim showed something
Basically the dirty waffles owned us. The first half I think we entered our forward half twice. They peppered away so much I had a sneezing fit. They ended up the half with two goals – not bad nannas considering.

The ne4xt half the Nannas did a lot better. Tommy toe touching a killer and a long bomb goalie style firming the pudding.

The hand shake at the end was funny with lots of look aways and lots of grumbling, but what is sport without sweat, grunting and attitude.

The post match was hosted by Tommy “lets go to the Rooftop” Howie. We arrived (after a pussy car park) with the bouncer almost suggesting there was no room. With Tom eyeballing a massive violation we made it. We had a good view and Kondo told of his plans for this thursday – YUM!!

Nannas versus Vagabundos Da Praia

6 : 6

DC, CB, RH, JH, CG, TW, TH

MOM: CG & JH

BY the skin of your teeth nannas, by the skin of your teeth.

Vagabundos Da Praia have been a team that in the past the nannas have owned mentally. This time they bought in the Aryan Nation man…..he had a weapon. I’m not talking about anything insidious – I’m talking about his right foot. (probably his left as well) He was really the difference. Never spotted before, and hopefully never again.

About from him, the nannas would have ruled supreme…..like an Iron chef up against a kid making mud pies.

The goals were shared around, but the Nannas were not the menace that they were in the start of the season.

The game is a bit of a blur, but as we walked off the ref said “good game”. Mamoud is a man of few words, so when he drops a pearl, put it on your necklace…
I believe there was a first as well during the MOM voting. Chris “vodaphone” brown busted a very cheeky move, or was the fault on the part of Dan “musical cock chairs” Crooks? Almost a code vialation, but who do we give it to?

Nanna’s v XXXX

4 : 3

TW, DC, CB, RH, TH, AW, JH, CG

MOM: CG

Bitch slapped em!! It was the old Italian guy who’d we all seen around the traps for years – worried, we were!! He had the foot skills of a thai hooker, the face of a wind ravaged cliff and the snarl of a bengal tiger.

Rhian kept pointing at him and ducking his head, a small child he seemed. Dan Crooks didn’t like the looks of him either and he joined Rhian in the feotal ground position, spooning each other for reasurance.

It looked really dodgey until chris Brown walked in with a really “heterosexual” handlebar mustouche. That lightened the mood up a little.

It was a light game. We came back several times to level and then we pulled ahead, right at the end. We seemed in for a tight last two minutes, when they decided that the 4:3 score line was too heavy to deal with and they actually stopped looking a the ball. It was quite an anticlimax to the tension that we dealt with for 34 minutes.

Everyone played well. Rhain and Dan asked me not to mention the spooning.

NANNA’S Versus Los Pitufos

4 : 1

DC(2), JH (1), TW (1), AW, CG, TH.

MOM: JH / CG

One of the Browner games for a VERY long time! Infact, one of the Browner Thursdays for a very long time. We began the game with a VERY tight six but finished the night with a VERY loose six!

The defensive heat the Nannas turned up was frightening, I’m still trying to comb down my chest hair after witnessing it first hand.

It must be noted that the maggoty new ref from last week continued his insanity by making up rules and awarding a penalty against the goalie for a perceived handball….Penalty saved – ref looked stupid.

It really was tightest I have ever seen the back half, they had very few shots.

Another note must be made to Jim’s blobbling, juggling, run down the wing with a deft flick to Dan to complete an attractive thang!

more notes must be made at the Nannas sunny disposition. Everyone was happy smiling and sweet.

And then came the IMPROMPTU. Post game resembled a slick operation….none of this Silly south side folly, they headed straight for the Supper Inn. With a booking under their belt, they pushed past the line on the door and straight to PORK town.

What went down next was greasy, spicey, sexy, beery, peppery, and very fried (expect that flounder!)

Dan became Nanna of Nannas with his selfless gesture…..

The only disappointment must be the pinnie parlour on Bourke Street that had two out of possible six DAYTONAS working…..not cool.

Nannas v S & P

3 – 5

CG(1), JH(1), DC(1), AW, TK

MOM CG

I think a few nannas went into this game with a “put us down a grade” mantra repeating in their heads. This did not reflect, for a second, in our performance, but it was there, hidding in their minds.

There is still fun in defeat and I think last night we experienced that “fun”. We came off the courts with a smile….knowing we could have won, we had a chance, we came back from a long way down and touched them….but then they touched us again!

The Nannas account was opened for the NINTH SEASON by the goalie, it was agricultural but we’ll take it. At half time we were 3 – 1 down, and the mantra was silently resonating. However, a Nanna never says “stop whipping me bitch” so the Nannas put on a hustling display that would have made a sheep dog hard! They didn’t get in any shots for ages, all the while Jim sneaked in a cheaky monkey corner in off type thang. Then Dan ripped a beast from the east….3 all!!!

See how close we came!! With about 4 minutes to go we could taste it… Then they got two quick ones…ah what could we do. We saw the top of the mountain, but just couldn’t make it there…

Still the NANNAS that where brown enough to make it did VERY well!! Hoild your heads up high brown men!

Hopefully next week, we might get some subs!

NANNAS versus THE ANNUALS

AW. RH. DC. JH (1 PLUS AN OG). CG. (1 – OG?) TW(1). CB. COACH TH

MOM: CG

I should have taken notes….

What started out as a cocky stroll into Tao and Tom’s old school became a farce of epic proportions. Although they beat us last week, for some silly reason we THOUGHT we were several leagues ahead of them….IN THE PAST PERHAPS LADIES!!!

We started with a master play by the coach as he subbed on Tao and within ten seconds of the sub he scored. This is why Thomas earned his mom vote! We were strutting, thinking. by how far??? Then disaster struck, from a corner they took, Jim was caught out looking at their defenders slim hips and hence popped a load(ed ball into the net) (ouch!)

They scored another one before half time and one of their Annual warriors started to go in a bit hard. This caused the usually extremely zen goalie to get ANGRY. I believe there was a hand to the face…. he deserved it.

The second half started with handshakes and love, but not the way we planned it. They got another one and it seemed as though, the unbeliveable was about to happen. Goalie goal time. From a throw (with lots of side spin on it) game a glimmer. Then Jim slammed home a beast from the middle court region. 3 all now.
Goalie then put in a Beckham like cross from the back side line and Dan Le Coq headed in his first ever goal – BROWN PROUD BUT DISALLOWED!!! Can we check to seee if Pete Circuit had his unborn at this moment in time.
PENALTIES……5 each (in a row)

Nanna keeper saved all but one goal….some of these are available captured on film and a limited run will be signed….

Two Nanna warriors stepped up and slotted home the defining moments that we presumed would eventuate, too bad it nearly didn’t.

The nannas will have to do a little soul searching this week to be able to face the other finalists, but I believe any team that has as much respect as the nannas is a sure thing.

The night was rather hazy post match…..Something about dancing like sweaty confetti and hanging out around the KUM DEN….posing for our front cover shots and …who knows…..

vs Vagabundos Da Praia 3-2

CG2, DC 1, RH, AW, JH, CB

MOM: CG

Possibly one of the BROWNEST nights for a long long time. (no Jim, I’m not including that night!)

The Nannas stode off the court with chests as puffed out as zepplins. I don’t think many of the Nannas believed we ha the right to the victory, such was the feeling of extreem BROWN PRIDE.

Captain Wrinkley picked me up mid jog, as I was almost halfway to the ground. We got there early and did the early prematch warm up. This has proved very useful to the aging Nannas, giving their older legs the touch they need for the start of the game. Jim began the warm up with much dry quippage about all things non hetro and Dan tried to justify watching an “arthouse” film with Miri!!!!

By game time, however, our minds were focused. The team we faced up to had beaten us recently and people were NOT CONFIDENT….. The first half was tighter than tight. 0 – 0 the Nannas were resilinent in defence. However, the young team we faced looked set to run us off our feet. NOT SO!!!!

They opened the account with a scorching goal that even Chazzmeister the frenchman could not stop. People were nervous. However a long goalie throw (with a little spin on it) resulted in a goal to the NAnnas. HA HA (little punks)……1 – 1 Tightness reined supreme.

People kept pushing, tempers flared, sweat dripped, tension rose.

Another goalie throw, (more spin) an another cheekie nanna goal. With there heads hanging the Nannas roared, the forwards pounced and Cockie SLAMMED home another goal within a minute of the last. BROWN pride!!!! We still had three minutes to play though. Before you could say “Jim, what is that on your pants” They got another goal, and again Chassssssssi could do nothing. Two minutes of them pushing harder than King Kong Bundy’s mum…Tension.

The final whistle – BROWN PRIDE. Then came the handshakes….a lot of grumbling and a few “fuck you very much’s”..

After the game Dan declared this month as COCKTOBER. I think he had a point, but he went a little too far by letting it poke out as he walked away from the coliseum!!

Knowing we had to drop off Andy Wong for his last dirty southside week, we went deep into the territory and had a drink at the ESPY!! As we were driving there the Captain was parking and as he turned his head to look out the window a loud CRACK was to be heard as he slammed his face into the window he thought had been wound down. Just as well we hadn’t smoked because we would probably still be laughing. So next time you see the Captain and you see the little cut on his nose…….(don’t tell him I told you)

Nannas versus THURSDAY NIGHTS
3 : 5
RH (c), DC, TK, AW, TW, CG, JH
GOals CG 2, TW 1
MOM: CG

The Nannas steeled themselves for a massive night. It was an emotional farewell for one of the brownest, takeshi Kondo, who was off to fight a small war (in brown!!) with some Hollywood maggots. It was his last game and we had to send him off in Brown style.

We faced off against an old foe, Thurday night, a bunch of winging pinheads of the highest order. As the game commenced Rhian painted his face like Mel Gibson in that stupid movie…..and roared and ripped open his nanna top! GO HARD he yelled….And with that the Nanna men were resolute! The Thursday night fools were chasing (Tight brown) tails!!!
Their first two goals came from NASTY deflections – nothing could be done, nothing at all.

The nanna’s did not let this set back hurt them. Down 2 – 0 at half time optimism was Rhians next ploy. Stil play the ball around, and don’t forget to shoot. But definitely try to forget the fact that a certain Nanna had chosen the movies over the game ( a nanna first we think!)

They got another goal, but still the nannas smiled. The extreemly handsome goalie threw a long ball and it rubbed the noggin of a hapless defender – GOAL TO THE NANNAS, we’ll take them how we get them,,,…

Then Toa(wer) of Power stung like a bee from a kick in and once again an Irishman named Rick O’Shae played a part. They got one more to make it 4 -2. Them after a furious passage the ball came free and that goalie pounced and drilled it for a goal.

With incredible pressure on the pinheads, the brave nannas kept pushing on. Then came the moment for rhian. Facing a mountain of a goalie who was falling towards him, Rhian was forced to chip and curve a ball over the goalie and trying to drop it then into the goals and not get pinged for a high ball. The shot from Rhian was sweet he did everything a captain should do, except the ball must have been a Carlton fan…it struck the bar a Rick O’Shae’d away. To come so close , yet not drink from the cup of joy!!!

Chris absolutely wiped one of the wingeing maggots out in a personally great moment, but they had a penalty and scored. It was a good game and the Nannas can be proud, however, not fully brown.

There must be a bit of soul searching for Nannas who choose a non brown option, but they are questions that they must face…..

Within the first 30 seconds of the game I dived to my right to save a goal (i did by the way) and landed on my hip, heavily. MY ASSSS IS SOOOO SORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is probably all I should write about last nights game. It was not an attractive night if you wear cardigans and knit.

We held them off for a long time. It was nil all for nearly the whole first half, but in the last few minutes they snuck two past my SORE ASSSSS!

We rallied slightly at the start of the second half to draw level with erogenous work from Dan in close and a RIGHT foot goal from the most recent Nanna to share his gene pool.

Then…..oh then they touched us in a very private place. I dare not look them in the eye after what they did.

We only really have ourselves to blame, but they were maggots, we should not deny them that title, well maybe only the blonde boy…..

Keep on fighting brown men, do not go gently into that good night, but rage, rage again the dying of the plight….

Jim’s size twelve were the real reason why we kept them out in the second half….The mental hold that CHAS’s buttocks have over the mind of Jim is frightening – we all feel for you Justine….

There was no one in the queue out the front of workshop, and yet they made me wait, by myself, for about ten minutes….Five people came out and still they would not let me in. Maybe the nannas need to pack a little Rexona post match….

THAT WAS A TIGHT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!

AND MY KNEE REALLY HURTS AGAIN!!

The Nannas gave new definition to the word “brave” last night. Obviously out classed and out aged the weary brown men stood as tall as their spines would allow.

The match started with one of them RIPPING a hell toe poke into the top right corner, this was followed by another great goal across the face. We started to look at each other with “that look” in our eyes….It wasn’t until the coach Tommy came running onto the court and turkey slapped each one of us. AWAKE he yelled….From there we got one cheaky one back before half time.

The second half belonged to old ladies in cardigans. We had that many shots that rebounded of the bars and it was only a question of time before we struck again. We did and yet they continued to press. It must have been a warm night because a few nannas we a touch slow to double back and “get in D”…We go there with a second to spare as they made one last flurry.

The only interesting point to come of this match report is the precedent that will be set. I believe there is a missing match report – surely there has to be reprisals. Comments please…

Still the nannas for this season remain – UNDEFEATED!!!!

The first game of a new year Nanna’s, and what a game it was!!! Extreme brown pride should be felt, like you were dancing with GG Allen!!

We faced up to Harcourt with captain muttering watch out for number 6 – “he’s the man, he’s the man!!” So we were ready, on our game – focused. It was TIGHT the whole time.

Chris Brown scored twice with Kondo and ME dobbing one each. They tried to score but forgot what hardess was andsoftly peppered away.

The real controversy occured after the game with two UNNAMMED nannas stepping outside from the pub for a cigarrette!!! WHAT WAS THIS!!! Putting our whole smoke free sponsor ship at risk.

Luckily Jim offered to buy a vapouriser for the next card frenzy, however, Chris Brown is yet to attone.

It would be remiss of me not to mention Tao’s bux night. There were plenty of Bruises on show, and I presume that is why Tao could not make it – because of a whopper!

A TRIBUTE TO JAMES BROWN – the funkiest nanna

January 18, 2007Uncategorizedthefunkynanna

What the world would have been like had he never have been born is unimaginable. It would be hard to argue that any other individual has had as much influence on music as this man. I won’t name his innovations here as they are so ever-present and deeply engrained in all of us that to describe them would be as pointless as notating the rhythms of our hearts and lungs.

I don’t feel it is appropriate to speak of loss in this situation. When a man dies who has contributed so much to music, more notably Soul Music, and more personally has inspired and architected my own very livelihood, I think speaking of loss would be ungrateful. Let us rather give thanks for what he gave us; for every every drop of his sweat that, along with his moans and grunts, bathed the stages and phonographs of our world in sweet raw Soul. Let us get up and celebrate his life with our music, and ours with his, just like he showed us.

May his soul rest in peace, but let his spirit keep working tirelessly among us.”

It was TIGHT and thats how the nannas like it!!!! Tempers were freyed, refs were abused, indians were bumped and victory was signalled!!!!

SCORELINE 6 – 4

MOM – 2 CHris’ – Brown and Gill

Goals were shared, not hoarded, the nannas were a team of MEN. THe crazed nature of the game leaves details blured, suffice to say that we WON.

Details to emerge post game are VERY interesting. Manic promises were made by a lanky memeber of the nannas – who will remain nameless, but his name does rhyme with Bim – that he will purchase an inhaling device known as “the vapouriser” Things we do for our friends….

Also there was one more thing….maybe someone else can remember it….I must have been too “tired” again.
