  1. Sooo ...... not sure if I've posted this before, but the bloke who designed the Jaguar X-type aircon display must be a Spinal Tap fan, coz the little bars that indicate fan speed go all the way up to 11!

    Well, it gave me a chuckle.

    He's relatively young and fit. He could theoretically remain a drooling vegetable for another thirty years . Ariel Sharon was old and decrepit and lasted nearly a decade if memory serves me correctly

    Classo takes 1st place for Dead Pool 2016 using the 'shooting fish in a barrel' tactic. Nice.

    I once listened to a documentary on Radio National about 'Locked In Syndrome', and apparently the average life span for someone on life support is 14 months. But apparently I've misjudged his condition... it's over two years since his accident, and his minders claim he's not actually in a coma:

    WikiTheFontOfAllKnowledge said:

    On 4 April 2014, Schumacher's agent reported that he was showing "moments of consciousness" as he was gradually withdrawn from the medically induced coma, adding to reports by relatives of "small encouraging signs" over the preceding month.[202] In mid-June he was moved from intensive care into a rehabilitation ward.[203] By 16 June 2014, Schumacher had regained consciousness and left Grenoble Hospital for further rehabilitation at the University Hospital (CHUV) in Lausanne, Switzerland.[204]On 9 September 2014, Schumacher left CHUV and was brought back to his home for further rehabilitation.[12] In November 2014, it was reported that Schumacher was "paralysed and in a wheelchair"; he "cannot speak and has memory problems".[205] In a video interview released in May 2015, Schumacher's manager Sabine Kehm said that his condition is slowly improving "considering the severeness of the injury he had".[206]


    I'm skeptical.

    Get on Facebook. It was all about Disneyland!

  9. Sharapova is a complete peice of work. Watch her press conference - talk about a pathetic staged performance. She deserves to go down for 4 years.

    About time Tennis got what it deserves as a sport.

    Ok. I'll have to remember which fake ID and email I use on there. Ha

    Was it 2013 the US atp only did 14 tests?

    What about Serena Williams hiding in her panic room when the testers rocked up? I don't think she even got a missed test warning for it

  12. It really is a bad year to be a male entertainer in your late 60s - Ross Hannaford, 65.

  13. or Kerri-Anne Kennerley's husband. [censored]. Why am I watching A Current Affair.

    A Current Affair? Are you feeling ok Llama?

  15. Nup. I'm rewted. And hot. Slurpee run coming up.

  16. I saw some of that sharapova conference on tv Vader. She sounded as sincere as classic1 trying to make conversation with a skank up the pub when he's on the pull. I nearly spewed.

  17. Ha. Cheatin Franch Knut. As Keanan said, the first move was worst than the elbow near the line

    Yeah, it was a joke. It was like something out of The Simpsons: "...but she's so pretty and making sweet gags. How can we suspend her? Let's get her a present instead. "

  19. It's time for the weather geeks to hit the record books. 😄
    As far as I can tell, Melbourne has had its hottest March night in 160 of records by a fair way:about 2.7 degrees!!

    Feb was pretty cool in Melbourne, but we'll probably have a relatively hot March (der!).
    Feb's average high was 25.1; the overall average is 25.8
    We had only 4 days over 30; the average is 7 days.
    We had only 1 day over 35; the average is 2.7 days.
    The average for March is for 5 days over 30, and we've already had 4.

    Tell all ya friends to impress them 😉😄

  20. So, OzMan, do you subscribe to the totally erroneous habit of beginning seasons on the first day of Dec/Mar/Jun/Sep or are you an equinox/solstice man?
