About Clubwah
Clubwah is run by a humble journalist looking for somewhere to express his thoughts, ideas, anger and two-cents-worth without upsetting the sensitivities of advertisers or fuckwit readers who wouldn’t know humour or sarcasm if crashed into their car pulled them out the driver’s window and raped them on the bonnet, before the mandatory exchanging of insurance details.
I am unashamedly a supporter of left-side of politics but unlike some commentators on the other side I’m not blinded by partisan politics.
“I hate more things than I like,” says Club Wah, wearing a resplendent blude cardigan and tartan pants.
“But the things I like I really like, like,” he adds, as though anyone gives a fuck.

Check it out Wah, your first comment from an actual alien!

It’s spam Wah, delete it man before they take over your blog!

BTW Wah, I see you like Indian food. You ought to visit Vijay’s “Bangalore Blues”, he’s a bit of an Indian foodie too (PS: they don’t call it “Indian” over there):

Where does the name come from, Wah? You may or may not be interested to know that in Kala Lagaw Ya / Kala Kawaw Ya (the language spoken in the Western Islands of Torres Strait), “wa” means yes, and of course you hear the word all the time. People from the neighbouring New Guinea mainland are frequent visitors on the islands, and in Agob (one of their languages), “wa” means penis.

Thanks Kemu.
So Wa means penis - I’m sure that many would agree that it’s an apt description of me and this blog. I hope you never came across it thinking it was a porn site.
My real surname, with the addition of a syllable, ryhmes with the Japanese word Konichiwa and from that somke people called me Wah and it went from there. Luckily, I added the H.

Though I left for Morocco in 2002, I am still try my best to keep up with the homeland. Suprisingly we have a lot in common. I am a left-leaner (genitals also) who will spit out something more ‘rightish’ if it suits and makes sense to me.
Geelong - Yes!!! Though a NSW Country boy, my navy days starting at Frankston may have had something to do with that.
Though I am in the security business, I have a chef-s certificate and I love south asian food and had the pleasure of travelling extensively in that region…. only one crappy Indian resteruant in Marrakech though, damn, damn!!!
Maylaysia, lived there and my second choice of country to live in….(personal reasons but I love Australian - don’t forget that….
I wish I had a pool, hot as hell here, but I make it up by sitting every morning in a cafe, sipping a mint-tea (real mint), reading my newspapers and watching the snow covered Atlas Mountains and date palm and olive trees below them (yes snow, even when it is 38 degrees in town).
Great blog site Wah, you have a friend here.

Too much information DHH. I agree with the “left leaning but sometimes conservative” stance though. But I can see straight through you - it’s just the Geelong link that makes you like Wah, isn’t it? (They’re gay you know, those Cats)
June 8, 2008 at 4:38 pm
“Too much information”? Nah. I, for one, want to know more.
And I know you do too, Ray. Go on, admit it.
June 8, 2008 at 6:11 pm
Ray, DHH is obviously a fine person and an excellent judge of character so cut him some slack.
I think we are almost soul mates DHH, so much in common, from political persuasion and anti-racist stance to our “dress” - does anyone actually hang to the right?
Thanks for your input - what has taken you to Morocco?

No Bron, I follow “Soft St Kilda” not “Gay Geelong”.
June 8, 2008 at 8:34 pm
You mean “Choke St Kilda”. I spend a very enjoyable hour listening to all the upset St Kilda supporters ringing in 3AW after the game today.

The physical “hanging left” was a humurous throw-in simply because I had a laugh watching that Doctor Oz on Oprah saying there are natural left and yes right hangers and was chuckling out of the banality of the topic when I posted…..
Look, we could probably fill an entire new blog line on what is wrong with St Kilda and I will forgive Raydixon for his misguided loyalties. Bron may not be forgiven because he smells slightly Richmond, something that normally causes sphinkter twiching in most of the population……
Morocco? I am here for the love, lifyestyle, work opportunities and the Islamic values that I look for. I am married to a Moroccan, I enjoy the mix of history/culture, chiq Marrakech cafe scene and scenery (Atlas Mountains, palmeries, Sahara desert). I am a security consultant and quality high-end security is wanting here so there is great opportunity here and as for Islam, as a faithful but very liberal muslim, Morocco allows a person to be as religious as he wants to be and it is not “in your face” like in Saudi or Iran (and I have worked in both).
DHH
Go-Cats!!!!

Well, I’m a SHE, thank you very much! Dunno if I can forgive you for that trangression.
And I’m in Sydney, thus I don’t know a thing about soccer. Sorry, these are AFL teams? See, I don’t know a thing.
June 8, 2008 at 11:56 pm
That’s Geelong supporters for you Bron, after 44 years of ‘handbagging’ it they finally win a premiership and then they turn all bitchy. Typical gays.
Btw Wah, I switched the radio off before the finish. The Saints didn’t “choke” though. You have to be in a winning position to do that. They just capitulated - again.
June 9, 2008 at 5:57 am
My bad Bron and mental notes have now been changed.
I find it ironic though, if you take my point of view - a Richmond supporter ‘could be’ confused with a lady from Sydney with no footy knowledge.
Wah, I thought they do the “chocking” after the game in the locker room…. mmmm, now that’s a way bit to much info.

[...] Both reasons for a conservative to feel good on this crisp winter morning, special thanks to “Wah” of Cub Wah and all of those who, like him, broke their “conservative [...]
