Make America Great Again is going well MILAN (Reuters) - Allocation to US stocks saw the biggest drop ever in March with concerns over stagflation, trade wars and the end of US exceptionalism driving a "bull crash" in sentiment, a survey of investors from BofA Global Research showed. Fake news!!

Good showing by the Force, all things considered.

The Highlanders threw it away. I have not seen such dreadful kicking at this level.

The expert view is: "who cares"?

Back to earth after the Brumbies had a gutsy win.

The difference is Trump thinks he deserves it... Obama probably didn't.

I was living in Hong Kong when a full blown Typhoon made a direct hit. That was pretty scary. But the big storm that hit SEQ at the end of 2023 was worse.

I thought Daugunu looked pretty good. Pietsch played better last week, I thought he was off his game a bit yesterday.

Mrs Wamberal binges on Doc Martin.

Errrr. Don't think there are any left?

The memory of the Reds "performance" last season is still fresh in my memory. Horrible.

1. Great!
2. Holy shit, newscorpes are actually being positive about rugby.

Maybe they have finally realised that a key demographic - or a reasonable share of it - loves the game.

I am resigned to a hung Parliament, at best. I now think that if there is a hung Parliament Albo should resign immediately after the vote is confirmed and a more appealing candidate should take over. Not sure about the conventions, but Albo needs to go ASAP after the election. Anything to avoid the ...

The Channel 9 (Murdoch) News here in Oz led this story with a despicable byline of "Ukraine Surrenders to US Demands"

WTAF! Who is the editor?

Channel Nine is not Murdoch????

Pick the 10 who is in the best form. Tom Lynagh. He is improving all the time.

wamberal

I've seen him close up a few times, he seems to be "normal" level headed fella. No airs and graces, no pretences.

He has two MBAs.

Played a fair bit of Shute Shield.

Knows the game from bottom to top.

Not only that, but you've got two of the best names in the competition in Harry Potter and Nick Champion de Crespigny.

Both products of Sydney University.

I wonder if the interest rate drop will achieve anything? Doubt it would do much to slow the momentum.

COBOL? Didn't it die in 1970 or so?

A win is a win. Quite a good spectacle, tackling optional. The unknown Tahs piggies who forced the last try, come what may, deserve promotion.

She drank way too much. That's not a crime per se.

I guess the Gatland training regime should bring out some battle ready players. You'd have to start again with the basics - defense and intensity. Mind you Italy aren't a bad side they might beat France next round. :shock:

I feel dirty I just got a Starlink setup for when I’m out bush. Simply no other workable option though. Not the case with Tesla cars. No chance I would buy one now, purely based on how much of a dickhead Musk is. Tesla sales have dived in Germany, apparently. Looks like a Chinese brand for us next....

I reckon it’s going to cost votes. By the by id love for the ALP to put a credible candidate up in my seat, but they won’t. The farking factional bullshit that the ALP loves causes huge problems.

He's trying too hard. He needs to relax a bit.

All Dutton needs to do is say under labour, it’s harder to buy a litre of milk, it’s harder to buy a house, it’s harder to pay your kids school fees. …Never mind all of that is due to a decade plus of LNP policies. The electorate will lap it up. Yep. Costs are out of control under Labor. What will ...

wamberal

Have you seen the list of what the ALP has achieved? Plus, the voice was an election promise - he didn't say he would influence it. Honestly, if the successes of the ALP got the airtime that Policy-vacuum Dutton gets, we wouldn't be in this position ' Mate, these days the electorate doesn't give mu...

Surely Albo isn't going to mess it up and let that deformed potato head Dutton win? Albo has already put a lot of time and money into messing it up.

It’s quite a crew…

Alan Jones, Bob Dwyer, Eddie, Cheika…

Alan Jones coached Manly.

wamberal

Cheika would be horrible. Again. Rugby is a thinking man’s game. The best coaches are thinkers and know the value of surrounding themselves with a team who bring more than they do as a coach. Cheika ain’t this. Cheika had some pretty successful seasons. At his best he was pretty good. But he has wo...

When China stop buying the soy beans from the American farmers they are going to go under quickly with Elon now in charge of all the money (no farmer bailouts this time), going to be blood in the streets on this one. And it will all be Sleepy Joe Biden's fault.

Gary Oldman with a disgusting, exceptional performance.

For mine, this is one of the very greatest series.
