    Really? I wish I'd known.


    It's amazing how quickly one's star rises (almost as fast as it can fall) 🙂

    DPF - Alan Rickman 69 cancer.

    There seems to be a trend developing.

    Donald Trump is 69 - there's hope yet!

    I thought he died falling off the Nakatomi tower in 1988

    How time flies, it's been 10 years since Andy Caldecott was killed in this race!

    And Ken Judge (former footballer), but he was only 58

    Here's your chance, OzMan - entertainers aged 69 for your Dead Pool picks - quick, or you might miss out.

  8. It's too hard! It's too hard. 🙁🙁🙂😄
    The few times I've tried, I cheated by Googling dead pool candidates. ha

  9. You are allowed to Google, it's not like an exam or anything.

    Yeah, but what about steeling someone else's death pool list? 😄

  11. Yeah go for it - as long as it isn't someone off the TAN.

  12. Beepers is on the Apple Isle. He probably thinks he's in hell down there 'cos he's gunna be there for till half past eternity. Or until they fix the Spirit Of Tasmania. Whichever comes first.

    So, in his absence, I'll do some of his work ('cept I'm sober so I really don't have an excuse): here's a nice little vid for you...

  13. Gord, I always thought the Dakar Rally was a car race 😄 .... I ain't kiddin.

    Crikey, it was windy on Thursday night. Ya know it's windy when the skin on the inside of ya legs gets flapped around. Ha

  14. Is the start list at the Tour Down Under getting weaker each year?

  15. Hopefully the People's Choice Classic is streamed here tonight; http://wwos.ninemsn.com.au/2016/01/15/17/30/tour-down-under-2016-live-stream

  16. Dead pool fail. Grizzly Adams.

    That's [censored]. I liked that show when I was a kid

    Good telecast. Stupendous win.

  18. I'm back from my cycling adventure. I narrowly avoided a crash and finished 51st in my age group averaging over 31kmh so pleased with that.

    Then drank more than was sensible at a 40th birthday party.

    But the highlight was visiting mum in the rest home and helping her get lunch cut up and safely from plate to mouth.

  19. An action-packed weekend for you and your mum Vette.

    Yes.

    It's no Herald Sun tour
