Clogs you've already had Stephen Dank working for you, didn't do much good.

Wrong drugs. Sounds like ice is the way to go. That's at least as scientific as anything else Dank has done.

Haven't read it all, but the bits I did read look interesting. Well-written too.

I liked this bit:

How does a basically tribal society adapt to a modern industrial lifestyle?

Hopefully the Maori will be able to help the Welsh out.

Seeing an Aussie watch an early episode of 'Taggart' is always amusing.

Honestly......never heard of him. But RIP. I met expats in Singapore who'd never heard of him. Says quite a bit about the kind of knobs you meet down on the pier or waterfront or whatever they call it.

Interestingly he was a native Hakka speaker, therefore was not a natural Mandarin supremacist, which gave him a perspective on ways to meld the mix of Chinese, Malays, and Indians in Singapore. Of course, he would be regarded as an extreme racist in western societies for his views on the native abi...

I think we should watch this year's Rugby Championship before we attempt to pass any judgment on whether the ABs have, or have not, fluffed the succession plan. It's obviously a risk, but other than Darwin's rather spurious attempt to claim that he's developed a metric that conclusively proves it, ...

Remarkable man. It's easy to dislike his authoritarianism, but it's hard to argue with the proposition that he massively improved the lives of the overwhelming majority of Singaporeans, in the space of one generation. One is put in mind of Wren's epitaph: Lector, si monumentum requiris, circumspice.

Margaret Atwood has her say, http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2015/mar/22/margaret-atwood-on-game-of-thrones-season-five Yes, it’s Game of Thrones, that mesmerisingly popular television series that surely draws its inspiration from so many fictional sources it’s hard to keep track. The Iliad...

It wouldn't surprise me. Aussie Rules is a bloody violent game in the lower leagues. Plus, it's played in some truly horrific shithole country towns in Victoria. Yeah, but still. Giving ice to a teenager because 'it will make him a better player'. That's scraping the most horrible barrel imaginable.

I had a few beers on Friday night and when my wife went to bed I cracked the growler. This is evidently one of those phrases that means something completely different in Australia to what it does in the UK. When I'm drunk I like to slide a traffic cone into my puckered bunghole. If you know what I ...

Ireland have had a good run of results over the last year or so and are ranked 3 - so they should be regarded as potential RWC winners, especially with a favourable draw. They also play a brand of rugby that works well for such a tournament. No problem with them talking themselves up and displaying...

OK, I appreciate that this report is a bit anecdotal and not backed up by actual charges or convictions, and the numbers they refer to are small. And technically it's not the AFL itself, it's in country leagues. But it does raise the interesting question of whether or not there is any degree of bad ...

Super strength beers are less of a drink, and more of a lifestyle choice.

Seems to me that the Irish are playing a brand of rugby that accentuates their strengths, minimises their weaknesses, and also wins tournaments. If I were Irish I'd be delighted. Congrats Micks.

Ireland to play Scotland and likely to run up a large score inflating their PD, England up against France and unlikely to overhaul that PD, yet the trophy is at Twickenham meaning Ireland are presented with a fake trophy. Wales up against Italy and possibly more likely to bridge the PD gap. English...

Are there any finer words in the English language than 'Woodward' and 'Daily Mail' when used in the same sentence?

You can guarantee an explosion of outrage from somewhere or other.

The only thing that seems to be heating up is your fevered brain. The suggestion that this somehow applies a blowtorch to the position between Putin and the West is infantile. Mr Lukashenko and Mr Nazarbayev did not immediately respond to the proposal in public, but analysts say it is unlikely to ge...

Guptill gets his ton. Windies must be beside themselves, thinking how they almost had him for 4.

NZ may get 350 plus from here.

karahi

Is someone still paying him for this stuff, or does he just do it to annoy people?

karahi

Sounds like the Windies have not only given Guptill a life, but they're feeding him too.

karahi

NZ win toss and bat.

I appreciate that kiwis would prefer an easy win, but as a neutral I sincerely hope that this match will be a bit closer than the other QFs. Which have, frankly, been shit.

24/2 now. Shezad gone.

Jim Maxwell taking a ribbing for calling a bump ball as a chance.

Sarfraz gone. The legend that is Shane Watson strikes, with Mitchell Starc tangentially involved.

20/1

Steve Smith is some cricketer.

Still, I'm sure everyone will be cheered by the knowledge that Watto is playing.

Also, if Aus loses, it will probably be his last game for them IMO. So it's win/win for Dumbers.

karahi

Whoah. Paks win toss and elect to bat.

Game on!

Michael Clarke should have been charged with assault for this one. You can't treat a national sporting icon this way.

This image cannot be posted often enough. You cnuts will miss him when he's gone. He is the better side of your natures.

I'm tipping a 200-run stand off 130 balls by Davey Warner and Watto, with Dumbers going, like, totally mad dog.
