Queenslander's Happiness Slowly Creeping Back With Wallabies Test At Home On Saturday Night

Just another suckhole on the train into the city this morning from South Brisbane is seeing silver-linings this morning, after his beloved Maroons got humped to death by the Blues.

Nathan Nathans, of Nathan, said the series loss hurt. The flogging at "the home of rugby league" hurt even more. The 44-year-old SaaS developer at some obscure, pineapple-soaked tech start-up, never thought he'd see the boys from down south smoke the Maroons at home in front of 50,000 howling Queenslanders. But now he has.

Now with Origin in the rear view mirror, Nathans said it's the little things that are slowly brining happiness back to his otherwise unimpressive, dull and greedy existence.

"Bloody Wallabies at Suncorp on Saturday, I'll be there," he said.

"In my jeans and joggers, too. And then after, my mates and I are going to get very drunk on Caxton Street and then after that, we're going to go to Cloudland and I'm going to get even more pissed there. And I'm going to have a good time."

Nathans said he didn't know who the Wallabies were playing, his mate sorted the tickets out but after being informed by this masthead that it was France, he chuckled to himself.

"Ah, the French. Can't live with them, can't live without them. That's what the Europeans say, anyway. They can cook a steak and make a fine drop but fuck me with a dog's cock, they cannot make a motor car to save their lives. I'm actually suprised their cat logo cars were still being sold here. You'd have a jug of granny's piss in your head instead of a brain if you bought one of those!" he added.

"Are there many French in Queensland? There's fucken heaps of French Caledonians in Betoota, I know that. They speak that Betootanese Creole we learned about in school. Bonjour, l'cuntoid! Je name's Nath! That's all I know."

"Anyway, go you Wallabies!"

More to come.
