The wife and I both voted straight ALP for the house and the senate, some weeks ago. Postal voting is now easy. No doubt the Tories will try to make it difficult again, as a prelude to introducing voluntary voting. Now the fun part, watching Ummm explain his policy backflips over the next few months...

The problem is that these voters are generally not in the two areas that will really call the shots. The Senate contest is also pretty important. There are some seats that might be in play, Benelong for example, lots of yuppies there, innit? Also a couple of the inner Melbourne and Brisbane seats t...

I think Wambers is calling an ALP win. With any luck he will be right. There is a tiny sliver of hope. As Mat the Expat asserted some while ago, the pollsters are only canvassing potential voters via their landlines. That leaves an awful lot of (younger? less conservative?) voters whose voting inte...

It's quite surreal that Tony Abbott will be the PM tomorrow evening. It's f**king depressing. He won't be. Anybody want to bet? Tony Abbott won't be the next PM? He won't be tomorrow night, even if his side wins a majority. There are formalities to be handled which take time, and, who knows, he cou...

Abbott threatening the Greens, nay the nation with a double dissolution if scrapping the carbon tax is blocked by them. Dangerous man. A double dissolution is not a threat, per se. Was it a threat when Gough used it? We live in a parliamentary democracy, a double dissolution is part of our democrat...

I agree. It is bizarre that a sex worker would have unprotected sex with anybody at all, no matter what the circumstances. This is the difficult bit for me to get my head around. If she is involved in the sex industry, surely she would have insisted on protected sex. The Native apparently engaged in...

wamberal

I am amazed that people still have unprotected sex these days, except in a committed, long-term relationship.

League finals in UK in October November- c'mon be positive you bunch of bickering old ladies! October 26th opening ceremony + England v Australia + Wales v Italy all for one £25 ticket! That's the Same price as a miserable soaking watching the Ospreys seconds. Mmmm. I'll think about it. No.

University has a huge natural advantage, they always have had. They went through some lean years, but that has all turned around in spades. Now they not only have their natural advantages (position, near the CBD; access to lots of students; access to our farking money as taxpayers) they also have a ...

Used to have the biggest catchment, have you been to Chatswood lately? the demographics have changed a tad from Anglo kids ready to play rugby The Gordon catchment is far bigger than Chatswood. Maybe they are telling porkies, but we were at the Eastwood game last season, and the ground announcer sa...

Gordon managed to score a try against the Camperdown Corporation. 95-7.

Gordon has the biggest junior catchment in the nation. The Corporation has no juniors, at all. None.

Go figure how this is good for the game.

Round 1 2014 gets closer each day, patience is character building or so they say. Parramatta > Patience. Parramatta is the demographic centre of Sydney. To the west of Parramatta lies what I assume is the greatest concentration of junior league players in the nation. Should really be doing better, ...

Like the ultimate victim sport RL will ever make the Olympics. :lol: naturally it will only be Rugby's fault though. Parra, noticed your side playing tonight on the tele next to the SR Final. They really are :blush: :lol: We managed to get a try this week, so not too bad after all really. 8) Appare...

The only conspiracy against RL comes from those knobs running RL in England, they don't have a clue. And then there is the fans from the same area that don't do anything but f**king complain. Australia has a fair bit of blame to bear. For example, the arrogance of the NRL in changing the rules of t...

And we form a hive mind called 'Union' which controls this global conspiracy and the IRB is only part of it. The Mungo's continually make reference to this entity-ie 'Union has done everything in its power to halt the greatest game from growing', or 'union is up to its old tricks again in South Afr...

Didn't realise there was a league tournament at the moment until I saw league on tv at the Gym last night. No one was watching it obviously. Yet to meet someone who likes that shit sport, in London so far. that's unfair, if you go to a bronco's (I think that's what they are called this year, may st...

It must be really, really difficult to be Gort. The sport he hates owns the name he loves.

The biggest single problem with the rusted-on supporters who post on LU is that they genuinely believe that their game is demonstrably better than rugby in all ways. Therefore the only reason that rugby is more popular internationally is that there is some kind of conspiracy against The Great Game (...

Do you have a link pls? Beyond my technical proficiency, unfortunately. You could use my log-in, if we still had mail capabilities on the bored. do you really need a link? it's the same every time He's banned there. No dissenting views allowed about The Great Game (sic). :lol:

The mungoes are still rabbiting on about the Vichy regime, over on Mungoes Unlimited. The inconvenient truth is that the French people do not seem to care much, if at all, about Vichy persecution of the 13 man code. Neither, paradoxically, do the Jewish people, who suffered far more under Vichy than...

Back when I rowed all ergo trials on the C2 were at resistance level 3. Lower resistance isn't necessarily easier. We use to to half hour ergos with the resistance at 0 and they were harder than a lot of others exercises because you were trying to get a certain distance and that is harder to do whe...

wamberal

According to the C2 website, the resistance settings are purely designed to allow for a range of rowing experiences, emulating everything from a racing scull at the lowest level, up to, presumably, a clunky boat. The implication is that the setting does not matter in terms of the effect of the exerc...

So that's it. Great final episode. Probably the best of all episodes, IMHO.

A friend of mine was diagnosed a while ago. He started taking the prescribed medication, now the symptoms have totally disappeared.

That's ridiculous wamberal. Thousands of women walk alone at night in Australia every night. This was just very unlucky, and to somehow lay the blame at the feet of her friends is just ridiculous. Couldn't agree more with AC. How is it anybodys fault that this poor woman was murdered other than the...

A truly dreadful crime. Last night we watched the series "Crimes that shocked Britain", which covered the Sarah Payne tragedy. There will always be crazies around, no matter how tough the law is, or how vigilant the police. Sarah should never, ever, have been allowed to walk home alone in that part...

Episode 11 this week. How many to go? I bet London to a brick on that Draper kills himself in the last episode, jumping out of his office window (just like the intro).

Sorry, BoB, I have an old-fashioned sense of respect for Parra. If he doesn't want you on the MU bored, then I do not feel I can help out.

Again, sorry.

Kurt Angle - one of MU's brightest stars has really plumbed the depths in a thread about loig in France, linking the events of 1941 France (when the mungoes were shown the exit door by the Vichy Government), with the Holocaust.

I think it was in this thread or maybe one of the Izzy ones where Parra wrote about the % of NRL players that come from the Parra and Penrith and it was staggering. Quite risible how many premierships they have won then compared to a club like the Sea Eagles from the Northern Beaches which provides...
