Media concentration...(I vaguely remember the public debate several years back when media ownership laws were being debated, and the dangers of media concentration being disregarded by Howard and co.) https://www.michaelwest.com.au/media-concentration-by-murdoch-nine-and-stokes-and-abc-cuts-a-dange...

Some of us high rollers have a garden as well as a balcony chief. Have the punchbag in the office / gym guest quarters then, not on your balcony Maybe he likes to punch with a view.

Petaia is the most over-rated player in Australian rugby at this moment . And quite frankly, has been since he first "burst onto the scene". I hope he comes good and lives up to the hype, I really do. It's not about being right or wrong, it's about the facts. I want him to be a world-dominating sup...

That Baby Eating lock position is the hardest one to fill in rugby. Makes a massive difference to a team having someone of that size going about creaming rucks on their own and absolutely loving the biff. I think the days of the enforcer lock are long gone. If they ever existed. NZ won RWC's in 201...

so I called my ip provider, virgin and they set up a better wifi link right there over the phone with 5GHZ, this immediately improved my wifi signal ; I went ahead and ordered the google nest wifi mesh with a point/google assistant - even for someone as sh1t as me at techie stuff, it took about 10 ...

Petaia @ 15. He is horrible under the high ball... no composure at all. I thought you guys watched rugby :x Watching Jpn League on wknd, Sean McMahon and Kerevi :o Aus Rugby could use them. I rate both those players and think they’d offer a lot. But the standard of footy over there isn’t great. Wha...

Wright is electric. That try he didn’t score showed that this mofo is all fast-twitch ‘South-central LA’ - aka Muirhead - on the other hand - showed why he isn’t likely to step up. And Banks has his cards stamped for sure. What is it with Brumbies fullbacks? Sooo disappointing these past 15-odd yea...

Hi handy boredies! I'm about a 3/10 on the home handyman scale. Best description might be - moderately interested with limited skills and some tools.

I am a bit worried about the style of play that Wilson is playing for the Reds...trucking it up head first into contact time after time will not work for us against the Darkness. That was his best game this year, but I agree. Against the ABs I think he should take on the wide running role that Samu...

Yeah. To get into prefab concrete at all, you’ll need a sizeable hammer drill. You’ll have burnt out your Bunnings Makita by hole no.2 And a bunch of long masonry bits.. And some understanding neighbours ‘cos it’s going to be noisy for a long time.. Buy a frame instead https://everlastboxing.com.au...

My wife watched the post match stuff and saw the interview with McReight. She was "How old is this kid and why am I now in love?" She watches bugger all rugby apart from the action and was surprised at how coherent he was. Future Wallaby captain material (JOC is my first love though.) I'm not jokin...

There’s a reason why Nick Bishop is an analyst and not a national coach. I like him though. A lot of those Roarers are just empty windbags... :uhoh: I think he's excellent. I think he’s excellent as well, but if he was coaching, Stewart would be starting. So would Dean Mumm :lol: Those plums on the...

Highlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dn6dtWQjtcA Got me excited all over again. Flook's try was well taken. Made Muirhead his plaything. I'm on the hype-train. There are a lot of actual rugby dudes who seem to think this kid is going to be a superstar. He doesn't look bad at all but I've sti...

Watched the match again last night and noted that Tate's pass is really shit. Almost every second pass to JOC put him on the back foot because he had to stop and gather the ball in. He really needs to work on that. The pass before JOC's kick in the lead up to the Flook try is a prime example. I've ...

Paisami is 5’ 8” Good things can come in small packages It’s bizarre. He plays like he’s 110kg. I guess acceleration trumps all. Yeah. That ‘elite first step quickness’ the Americans put into their NFL scouting reports. He’s a complete package I reckon. Tremendously skilful, which is not really tha...

Gavin Duffy wrote: ↑Sun Apr 11, 2021 8:18 pm Is the wall just cladding? Do you know what the construction actually is?

It’s prefab concrete covered in insulation and then presumably some thin board and then render.

I think I’m farked.

Expect my next DIY thread to be about advice for home made A-frames.

towny

This is probably the best thing I've found that is 'fit for purpose'

So here's the updated question - do I put this directly onto the render or should I have timber (or something else) between the metal and wall?

I say break Latu out and send him to Betty Ford for a spell. I like how you think. Presumably Betty Ford is the new name for Brad Thorn? The Betty Ford Clinic is an addiction rehab centre in the USA.

Who is playing well but not in the 40 man PONI? - Fotuaiki gave AAA a touch up last night. Lots of talk about the THP boring in, but Fotuaiki was giving AAA a hard time on the other side.

Petaia could be our best 15 for a very long time, maybe ever. If thats the plan then playing him on the wing for now is good, maybe giving him some time at 15 late in test matches when possible. The guy has aerial skills, kicking skills, speed and positional awareness. Folau with actual fullback sk...

Were you a good student? Peak oil was never about running out of oil.

Don't get me wrong, it was a very incorrect theory based on poop thinking.

I need more to get on the hype train for a small centre.
Angus Bell is only 19. That's a hype train I can get on.

I don’t hate it but I’d definitely have Petaia and Hosea in there ahead of Vunivalu and Neville.

Also prefer Lolesio over Toomua but I can see the value of the old, hard bastard.
