The Thread about Nothing....

I'm not sure if it made headlines, but Frank Sinatra Junior carked it yesterday from a heart attack, aged 72

Telephone conversations about an hour ago.

Quoted post said:

Hello, you've reached Latrobe city councils after hours emergency service

Gday mate. I'm ringing to report there's a knocked over electical junction box on the corner of mapleson drive and Shakespeare st. It looks like it powers the street lights or something . There's exposed cables, probably three phase. It's dangerous.

You'll need to report that to the electricity company

I would mate if it said who's responsible for it

You could ring around....

No, I'm reporting it to you mate. It's on council land and likely powering council street lights. I'll leave it with you.....(click)

[censored] hell. You're on the clock [censored], not me. I don't pay rates for nothing. Next thing they'll expect me to start filling in potholes myself or emptying rubbish bins.

Why for would you report power poles to the council? They are less than useless. Even 30km down a rural road we rang the power company when lines went down, never the council.

It was the junction box. And I dunno what company looked after it because it was knocked over so there was no sign saying 'call us'

Not the most exciting Milan Sanremo I've ever seen, except for the last 2km.

Lots of stacks though. Matthews will be spewing . So will Gavaria. And Sagan. And Bouhanni. Even without the gear slip I reckon Demare had Bouhanni covered though, he would have run him right up Roelandts [censored].

Farkin spewin I forgot about the race last night.

I gather Drew Ginn and his mates achieved some sort of 24hr team TT record at the Oppy Audax

Thigh gap surgery? Just when you thought you'd heard it all

And some pretty heavy duty photoshopping

Pity the guy who got towed up the Cipressa by his team car for the KOM beat them in the sprint ...

Yeah, then he rocked up to the Tuesday night ride and still put us all in the hurt box. Ha

Dead pool fail - Rob Ford!

[censored] it, I had him in my team last year and dropped him for Stephen Hawking :-(

Hawking will never die, his AI is keeping him alive, or at least maintaining that appearance

Dead pool is full of fail this year. Today's snuffed celebs include Garry Shandling and Johan Cruyff

The Barkley Marathons on Netflix is good value.

Sounds interesting.
I've just started watching a series called The Americans. I think it's gonna prove to be pretty good watching too.

The Americans is good viewing

Ah, shame. I loved The Larry Sanders Show.

Hi all

I am Dennis
I am a student from Curtin University Film TV Department
I am doing a documentary film about Cyclist secret with my uni group mate.
We are looking for some semi pro or pro cyclists in Perth to become our character.
Can anyone be my character or interviewee? Or introduce some pro cyclists to me? I hope he took part in some races.

Please reply me
Thank you
