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.

We looked at "Prime Target" last night. It struck me as being overblown and based on a ludicrous proposition.

Its gangster Trump threatening their lives, simple as that.

Also an attempt to "encourage" a lack of criticism. This situation is diabolical.

The main reason he gets booed is that he is a very unlikeable character. We have had two of the nicest personalities for many years : Federer and Nadal. Not to mention Barty.

Djokovic comes across as a boor.

Sitting at home isolating with Covid over Australia Day Weekend - and stil there are f u ckwits that retrospectively go "It wasnt real!" Wankers!

Aussies to win the double. This is Australia Day, after all.

wamberal

So how does one deal with USA folk when you encounter them in public, on a plane, in the workplace etc. ? how does the conversation not circle back to politics one way or another and potentially become super awkward? I never discuss politics with anybody who has Trumpian tendencies. Lots of other t...

In the real world we call these people micro managers. We are not talking about the "real world". We are talking about management in a very unusual environment: I would suggest that every head coaching job operates in a unique environment. It was a joke! Ha Ha.

I won't pretend either, but I can completely understand how the workload can add up for anyone in a role "where the buck stops" and is a high performer. it may not be chained to your desk type of work, but the day would fill up pretty quickly with meetings, reviewing analysis, going over performanc...

Parmesan is naturally lactose free, same as Pecorino

I'll try it again.

Langi Gleeson apparently goooooooooooooone… Off to Montpellier next year according to L’Equipe. A bit disappointing as I think he's got huge potential still. An early casualty of RA not locking in the TV deal. I reckon he's overrated. I would have Leota any day at 6, and we've got Wilson locked in ...
