  1. Bouhanni is a total [HASHTAG]#wankpuffin[/HASHTAG]. Nothing new here. Bling is [censored] ace.

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


    Gosh, it was only a few months back I saw him busking in the city... down Flinders Lane near Degraves Street. He looked - and sounded - fine to me.

    [censored] like that never seem to get hoisted by their own petard, some poor little innocent like their kid does all the suffering for their ignorance

    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?


    What we have does seem out of whack, doesn't it?

  6. Victoria has six seasons apparently

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

    Nah, the barrier one was worse. Two big switches in the last 100m is pretty bad though. He deserved his relegation

    Ha. it musta been bad if you reckon his DQ was apt 🙂

  9. Bugger. We can add George Martin to our DeadPool fails.

  10. Was he the fifth Beatle? Or was it Best, Sutcliffe, Epstein, Spector, or someone else?

    ha, lolzicals. That's what I thought when I heard "the fifth Beatle has died". Add Billy Preston the list; he's the black keyboard player who played on some of their later stuff, particularly Get Back. Apparently, Lennon and Harrison wanted him to join the band, but McCartney poo-pooed it.,

    Ha, there's even a Wiki page about it.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Beatle

  12. Nah, Billy Preston was the black Beatle.

    That would make Epstein either the Jew Beatle or the gay Beatle. Or the gay Jew Beatle.

    That eliminates two people as being the fifth Beatle.

  13. Also, Billy Preston was ace. I like the Let It Be album. It's got some heavy stuff on it. Plus I like some other stuff from that time, like Dont Let Me Down.

    I heard I want to hold your hand on the radio the other day. I turned it off. It's a bit [censored] and naff.

    .

    there's a new Wikipedia page right there. 🙂
    I was a big Beatles fan when I was young, and yeah, the first 4 albums are mostly teenybopper stuff.

    Yep, Preston was grouse. I think he kept playing with the Beatles on their solo stuff.,
    Jee, he even toured with The Stones. I didn't know that

    I knew some of his stuff, but check him rockin the Hammond organ at 10 / 11!

  17. wow, Prodigy

  18. Has the Paris-Nice always finished so late?

  19. I've got bad news for those of you looking forward to seeing your recording of today's Paris-Nice stage: it was cancelled due to shabby weather. 🙂
    One of the cars or motorbikes had -0.5 degrees showing on the dash.

    It was initially neutralized, to be restarted with 42km to go, but was soon called off all together.
    Funny: after it was cancelled, SBS showed about ten minutes of the team cars driving through the snow with no commentary. Ha.
