You're kidding me...
Life just plain sucks sometimes.

WITH Neil Schlittler assuming the First XI games record and Sam Grimwade to take his top-team bow at age 15, Prahran would normally have much to celebrate tomorrow.
Instead, True Blue hearts are heavy after the death of club physiotherapist Erin O'Connor.
Ms O'Connor, 32, died yesterday afternoon, five days after being struck by a car at Thornbury.
Tragically, her younger brother Eamonn, a VFL player, died after falling from a balcony at Mt Hotham earlier this year.
Ms O'Connor was a popular figure at Toorak Park, admired for her cheerful manner as much as her professionalism. She also had a role at VFL club the Northern Blues.
Schlittler said this morning that the club was devastated at her death.
"We're a big family at Prahran and Erin was very much a part of it,'' he said.
"Everyone loved her. She got along with people so well. Her personality just fitted in. We'll miss her dearly because she was a fantastic person, not just on match days. She came to our annual ball, our Melbourne Cup day, things like that.
"We feel for her family so much.''
Club coach Andrew Walton said Ms O'Connor was a wonderful person and a dedicated and diligent physiotherapist. She had been with Prahran for 3 ½ years.
An 18-year-old Reservoir man is helping police with their investigation into her death.
Hopefully they've caught the bastard. Accidents happen but not stopping and helping is unforgivable.
