I saw them play sometime in the mid to late 80s at the Sydney Ent centre... serious showmen. They were hugely entertaining, on top of the playing they filled the show with little touches and I guess that's part of their trademark style... Sadly, I only got to see them once - oddly, opening for Guns...

Perhaps if you read back you'd find those suggestions. Hard lockdown back in June - that literally was the only playbook that worked. I predicted All of August locked down. The 3 LGA lockdown decision was influenced more by business lobbyists rather than medical advice - indeed, as I've mentioned ma...

I think it's an unfortunate result of the habitual argy bargy in here and within the Australian national setting but it's very hard to discuss this and perceived solutions without that breaking down into games and point scoring. Most of us have made these points but the North Shore Axis are only in...

See that just shows your incipient sociopathy - nothing I say or do will affect the current situation. It's totally in the realm of the State and Federal Government.

Good luck NSW. I really hope you get this under control.

It's going to be hard - we don't have the leadership sadly.

The internet is a different world and those that use pre-internet concepts to understand it don’t get it and never will.

No way I'm reading that shit. Negative gearing and tax cuts... disappointing. Further proof there is little difference between the two main parties. Federal ICAC enshrined as an election policy... not disappointing. Further proof that there is a difference between the Lib / Nat coalition and the mi...

As a skater, I can't wait to see all the new parks, ramps and bowls this sport will spawn. Also, as a skater, I am going to hate seeing coaches down at the new skate park. :thumbup: You could errr... move into coaching mate, as an uhhhh, y'know, elder in the sport.

This isn’t advertising, although that’s a small part of it. Amazon has a $2t market cap and much of that value is based on assets that weren’t imagined in the 70’s. The world has changed so much that many of the fundamental old rules of business aren’t even relevant any more. People in the 70’s cou...

Accurately over 50 years - that’s not. Anyway - bookmarked to read and learn. I'm no economist but aren't we following economic models that old anyway? Erm, no. Simply no. Can you explain what the models were in the 1970’s to give us less doubt? There were 1,000’s of models even then. As I’ve asked...

Impact to the environment - what did they predict and how is it feasible to have predicted that 50 years ago (because I struggle to believe the economic modelling I can’t believe the later…) (And I’m too lazy to read…) That's the crux of the issue - It's been well-documented for years.

You thinking punching a poor animal is OK? Punching even a middle-income animal is a tad unpleasant if the creature in question is doing nothing untoward. Which was the case here. In fact, on this occasion it was perhaps an unfortunate choice of mount. A larger, entire and rather more fiery horse m...
