  1. My DP pick of Keith Richards is obviously not going to pay off, he'll live forever now he's made it out of his 60s.

  2. Bobby Rivers. Crikey.

  3. [HASHTAG]#celebrityhousehats[/HASHTAG] on Twitter is fun!

    Yurt Newton

  4. Yes another DPF. Dropping like flies are our old musos. If only some of the more current ones would instead.
    Haven't heard that song in years. My old high school big band used to torture that one, I'm sure. It was fun to play with a full horn section but. God bless Mr Smiles (yes, really) for his song choices and arrangements.

  5. The Revanent.

    It was nearly as good as Death Hunt and Jeramiah Johnson

  6. Gorgeous pics of Barcelona's velodrome being refurbished.

  7. Where's the link pauly?

    Not so gorgeous pic from today. Dirty rotten little tiger snake. Maybe a 4 footer. He wasn't huge, but big enough.

  8. After shot? Im assuming you too care of the situation in true gippsland style and picked it up and bittened its head right off?

  9. Classo... the link's actually in the post, but it doesn't seem to be highlighted (unless you hover over it). Here it is, unvarnished:

    BTW - there's a link in the article to Chris Boardman's gold medal effort. How do feel about the Lotus?

  10. Good to see players willing to come out and trash talk Sharapova for being a drug cheat. No surprises Serena is supportive though...

    No. I patted him on his hooded cobra-style head and took him for walkies

    Board velodromes, particularly when new, are things of beauty. Launceston is a Schurmann track. I think all the others in Australia are Ron Webb designed.

    Good thing lotus didn't design that bike in the 70s. It would have been made of fibreglass and canoe glue and would have broke down after 3000m.

    It was twenty years ahead of its time, but Boardman won because he prepared well and had a super aero position. Put him on Lehmans FES and he'd still have won.

    Did you know that on the monofork Lotus bikes the wheels didn't track in line? There's the most useless bit of trivia you'll here this year. Maybe this decade

  13. Btw Vader, another three steps and I'd have trod on that snake and I'm not ashamed to admit I nearly [censored] myself. I was walking through the grass to read the signs in a rain shelter and to go look for trout in the creek. I reckon I only saw him because a bit of the dappled sunlight shone off his scales. I think he pooed himself too. He sat there really still then once I backed away he took off to hide.

    And sharapova can get [censored]. Heart and diabetes problem my [censored]. She was taking that [censored] for performance enhancing reasons only. You'd have to be spastic to believe her [censored] excuses.

    Fair enough. One of my blocks of land is terrible for snakes. Over the summer I went up there for a wander and had two or three snakes telling me fark right off all before 10am. No respect for the torrens principle nor my 0.0000001% first peoples bloodline. [censored] disrespectful nature.

  18. What's the torrens principle? Is that some [censored] thing from Adelaide? Like durianrider
