Had many fun nights out with Warwick in and around Udon when we were both new to the area in the first few years of the century. I knew he was in Melbourne for boxing day this year but sadly didn't catch up. Sad news. RIP.

The USA debate. Mr Trump won, Mr Biden lost. I'd take that one step further and say that Biden didn't just lose, he lost embarrassingly. The whole thing is pretty embarrassing for the great republic. The sitting president, an aging dementia patient, lost to a conman, criminal - seditionist, who, af...

Fine Cotton and Bold Personality might get a start Jack. They may have to dig up Jack 'the bagman' Herbert, Terry Lewis and Russ Hinze to jockey the hobbies. That'd be Queensland.

I was recently able to book 3 return tickets Melbourne - Bkk for about 9000b each, on sale, for Oct/Nov this year - Jetstar. Was too good a deal not to snap up. Just seats, we'll have to add some luggage for the Mrs and some entertainment for the young fella and some grub for the old fella, but a go...

A few alternative dates here: The ensuing Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (UK) became law when Queen Victoria signed the Royal Commission of Assent on 9 July 1900. The Queen presented a duplicate copy, alongside her signing pen, inkstand, and table to Barton at a ceremony at Windsor ...

Been a big day in Australian federal politics with suprisingly no mention of Putin, the Chinese communist party or the North Koreans, Great day for the Aussie battler and the fair go spirit. Simon Rosenberg @simon_rosenberg The 'broken promise' narrative works better for political opponents when the...

I spoke to Steve and he was discharged from Hospital, yesterday (Christmas Day) he is at home but he says he has a lot of hard work ahead of him to get anywhere near to where he was prior to being hospitalised. Mostly physiotherapy, I believe. However, his return home ca be considered the BEST Chri...

Everytime I see the word woke I think of this slightly amusing meme:

The rapist party back in the news. Liberal staffer raping (alleged :-" ) liberal staffer in ministers office after a night on the piss - they are all class these people. Makes a nice change from liberal minister raping (alleged :roll: ) debate opponent. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-12-07/network...

Congratulations to Oz on a great victory in the only sport that they're any good at these days We're bloody good at footy mate. Unbeatable at Aussie rules. So that covers cricket and footy. What other sports are there :-k ? Nice to have a sense of humour innit? Seems its lacking elsewhere 😀 If only...

What a game between the Aussies and Kiwis yesterday. A runfest, almost 800 runs in a little under 100 overs. Was fun the watch and because the Kiwis are good blokes was not even too fussed about winning and losing. Great game.

Cheers Earnie. Not a lot of takers on the Isreal quiz

Result of the referendum pretty much confirms what the civilised world think about Australians.

Glalt "How can they (I presume you mean Hamas) possibly justify murdering innocent Israelis in cold blood? What threat were the women, young people, children and old people?." Likewise I dont see Israel launching missiles that only kill Hamas terrorists. Children, women, men all die Both sides are ...

Cracking game - what a comeback. Been a good weekend for close finishes in grand finals.

Jacinta Allen is the new premier of Victoria. The commie has been replaced by another commie. Don't know how we are going to survive with these radical bolsheviks running the state - “Over time the Victorian community will see me bring a very different style – one that is built on those values … of ...

Won 3 elections in a row. Left on his own terms. Increased his majority each election. Labor majority in Victoria so great and the disfunction within the Tories so entrenched that labor pretty well guaranteed another 2 x 4 years terms, which will mean 20 years in power. Victorian economy has boomed ...
