    A Current Affair? Are you feeling ok Llama?

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

  4. 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.

  5. 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. "

  7. 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 😉😄

  8. 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?

  9. 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

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

  14. Victoria has six seasons apparently

    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 🙂

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

  18. 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

  20. 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.
