Uh, I voted for the ALP, mate. I know the candidate really well and think he'll be great for my area. Sorry to ruin your tirade...

You're grasping, mate.

Anyway, I just voted. It took about 20 seconds. Great initiative, ECQ. Everyone had their ECQ letters with them and there was no gnashing of teeth or outrage. Sorry AC.

Today for the first time ever QLD voters will need ID to lodge their vote. My concern is that there has been almost zero publicity about this. The QLD LNP govt has spent tens of millions of taxpayer's dollars on TV ads trying to convince us that selling our state assets was a good thing, but someho...

My wife was a little miffed when I told her that I took off my wedding ring before working out in the gym. I think she assumed women were going to swoon when I staggered over to them and sweatily asked them if I could smell their hair. I showed her some de-gloving accidents involving rings and she ...

I thought the hipster beer of choice was Pabst Blue Ribbon?

Which as I understand it is the antithesis of Craft Beer.

I bought one as a dare once.

It tasted like cheap Chinese fillings and fizzy sock-water.

My wife has thought about moving to a private school but the expectations are huge and the extra time you spend working outisde of school hours isn't worth it. She moved to a better state school last year and lasted a semester until transferring back to the shitty poor school she was at. The parents...

Ahhh...no it isn't, mate. You're a bit out of the loop. Churchie is currently at $19K a year for a day student. More for boarding. Brisbane Grammer is $23K a year for a day student. TSS is $20K a year for a day student. Not including uniform, textbooks and travel... And that's Brisbane, which is on...

Because the State schools don't get enough funding? Don't they? Obviously not if they are seen as "poor choice" for parents who aren't rich. I'm not being Towny here, just generally interested. The quality of teaching in state high schools vary school to school, as it does for private schools, but ...

The Private vs Public debate for schools is mad coming from the UK. Is it? Pretty much - very few kids as a percentage go to Private (Well Public as they are known) schools. I don't have a horse in the race as I don't have kids but I do pay a lot of tax and I'd want it to go to state schools, not m...

I tell you one thing, my kids are dropping out of school at the earliest legal age possible. Those fees are just ludicrous and I won't have them associate with SHS riff raff Both my son's names are down at some pretty toff schools. I feel icky. On another note it's a f8ucken rort isn't it.

FFS Soccer is such a tawdry (thanks BoB) game. Lots of sabre rattling and bluster. It shits me.

Universities already can set their own prices, it's just that there is a cap on how much they can charge. Surely that's a contradiction? Why so? Setting prices but with a cap still allows for competition on price. It just has a ceiling. A bit like the minimum wage, but in reverse. When Howard allow...

I certainly don't support it but on issues like this there were very few voices of reason to combat the hysteria. Do we assume that most people supported these laws or just don't care? Queensland's anti bikie laws have quite a lot of support yet are written to be able to be used for any group that ...

Shoulder day today. Feeling a bit shit. Had a gig last night, forgot to eat dinner and went to bed at 1am. Blasted out OHPs. 5x40 5x45 12x50 The lateral DB raises (3x10x12.5kg), BBB barbell OHPs 5x10x30kgs and then 200 KB swings incorporating 5x10x18kg single arm presses. Going to see comedian Bill ...

Yeah. I saw that. That's awesome. About 12 years ago I was enjoying a skate at my local skatepark with some mates. The boys in blue showed up out of nowhere and came over. Apparently they'd heard about some underage drinking going on. Seeing as we were all 28 or so they sat down and had a chat to us...

I'm all for a Republic.

I can't wait to see President Paul Hogan in the new White Tent.

I'm probably a similar build and stature to you Thomas. At 92kg I found myself a a bit porky on the belly front. Fine elsewhere. I felt great strength wise at that weight.

2 days to go before the Qld Election. Newman appears to be floundering but the ALP won't release any information on economic policies. Nothing. This morning Annastacia Palaszczuk could recall what the tax on Goods and Services was. Faark. This election is a cripple fight. One party is treading water...

I must admit , for a country as vast as Aus, I am bemused at their price increase and yet how small some of the properties are. Maroubra houses seemed just as suburban as anywhere in zone 4 in London and just as non roomy and non large garden. Very true. Inner cities are like that. In saying that, ...
