Forgive me for asking, but as one of many descendants of worriors who died in this horrific event, I am genuinely puzzled; in what possible way is calling upon God to bless America relevant within the very special an...

FA Cup 2012 Season

Sorry, no revenge for you Banjo.. Brum offered a fair account for most of the contest & battled to the end despite rather running out of steam. They can now concentrate on plan 1 - exit from The Championship. No need to be sorry Bob ... I've lived with it for over half a century now :roll: . They j...

An Expat community?

Community is often a word that can be employed to define a vast array of groups in society. Expat, the abbreviated form of Expatriate, is more clearly defined. The statements provided by both Trubrit and Merchant Seaman are unfortunately both errant. Merchant Seaman has regrettably neglected to be s...

Is the surface at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi grass or sand? I don't think the Poms are too good at beach cricket and the score clearly indicates this is the case :lol:

82 runs to get and 5 wickets in hand .... this could be a cliffhanger! Bring on Monty and shutty eye and hitty hard!

Test Match - Australia v India

I think you've nailed the result of this one Bob! A thunderstorm has been forecast for Adelaide tomorrow though the Australians should only need less than a session to wrap up this match and the 4-0 whitewash. Four tailend Indian wickets may well only last a few overs. Ricky Ponting looked rather no...

Test Match - Australia v India

ANGRY Indian whiz Virat Kohli accused Michael Clarke's men of being ugly Australians and sleazy sledgers as a ticking Border-Gavaskar timebomb exploded in Adelaide. The two heroes of a fiery third day – maiden century maker Kohli and five-wicket destroyer Peter Siddle (5/49) clashed on field and te...

Dettol - Where to buy?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dettol In Australia, Dettol spray has been shown to be lethal to cane toads, an invasive species imported from Hawaii due to a poor outlook and bad judgement in 1935 for cane beetle control. Spraying the disinfectant at close range has been shown to cause fast-acting dea...

You really cant tell can you? (Wife leaves me)

This demonstrates quite outlandish, peculiar and irrational behaviour on behalf of the OP who is clearly flaunting on a Public Forum of his glorious victory in the Family Law Court of Australia. It is an absolutely appalling performance of the actions of a mature adult and father. I do feel for the ...

You really cant tell can you? (Wife leaves me)

The Family Law Court in Australia is currently fragmenting at the seams with, often, feuding parents who fail to understand the needs and welfare of young children. Unfortunately, oblivious children become involved in a tug of war between mother and father. Acrimonious separation and divorce is no d...

Thai language Electronic Translators

There appears to be a number of Android Apps for Smart Phones that are English - Thai Translators available online. This one is AUD$3.85 (approx THB120) and maybe worth considering given it is inexpensive and probably for the beginner/traveller as it is romanised. https://market.android.com/details?...

Re: FA Cup

Stevenage were only formed in 1976 - admittedly out of the ashes of Stevenage Borough Football Club. They finally gained promotion to the Football League last year. I think in 1996 they were actually in the position to be promoted but were denied by the League as their ground did not meet League st...

Re: England to retain the Ashes - JUST

Pietersen had one match in which he warranted a 9. For the rest of the tour I would not have scored him higher than 5. He puts pressure on his team mates by playing for himself & I find that totally unacceptable in a team game. 1 great knock & 5 failures is not a good result. Take the 1 knock away ...
