Ok for me as I have a 20cpl and a stack of 15cpl vouchers but raising bowser prices by the same amount as the latest fuel vouchers reeks of corporate petulance against the latest ACCC ruling.

In my book Dale Steyn is the best bowler going around at the moment but if he does another chainsaw celebration I'm going to kill the kent ...

I'd call her bluff ... either way you can't lose.

Well done Haddin, called it out that he wasn't sure ... correct decision, too much doubt.

Very knowledgable there TSG, not as good as whufc though ...

No problem, just put something in her mouth ...

This is nearly a bigger implosion that both world trade centres ... Stokes the only Pom that can hold his head high.
And he's not even a pom!! Where is Christchurch? That's in England! Alot to like about him though, very good talent. I hope to see alot of him, showed alot of potential in a struggling team, was the only positive for England all series along with Broad with the ball I guess.

LOL, if the England team just relied on real Poms then they'd be ... well ... shit ... oh, hang on

Credit where credit's due ... initially thought WTF has Diss done but now can't even remember what the old site looked like.

I'm going out on a limb here ... the Saints to continue to be a train wreck in 2014

More than 90% of boat arrivals were found to be genuine refugees, compared to 44% of plane arrivals ...

Equally true of those on the Tampa ... of course that episode started this whole sorry mess.

You'll never get an admission from the coalition that the vast majority of those on the Tampa were successful in their claim for asylum. Maybe that should be asked in question time as well?

A pretty good article on the governments own website, which the libs have repeatedly contradicted by doing such things as calling them illegals when they are not, and discriminating against boat arrivals in preference to plane arrivals.

I'll never understand why non-coalition members have never asked a coalition member to explain why they haven't misled parliament when they have repeatedly stated that asylum seekers are illegal immigrants.

Why the Greens haven't done this is staggering. Starting the next question time with that question to the PM would be a good start.

LOL, straight from Wikipedia ...

Bernard Tomic (/tɔːmɪk/; Croatian: Bernard Tomić; born 21 October 1992) is an Australian unprofessional tennis player who as of August 2013 is ranked World No. 57 by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP).

I'd save myself and enjoy the extra room ...

Tomorrow will be the 10 anniversary of David Hookes' tragic passing.

Robert Craddock's interview with Boof ...

THE death of David Hookes, 10 years ago tomorrow, reshaped Australian cricket because it redefined Darren Lehmann.

The free-spirited, celebrate-the-moment style of cricket Australia has played this summer can be traced directly to Lehmann's appreciation that, for all the hype and hoopla that comes with modern cricket, it is still only a game.

The moment he fully appreciated this fact was when he lost his mentor Hookes.

"It changed my attitude,'' Lehmann told me about Hookes' death.

"I realised cricket was a game and life was more important. When you are at the ground you are driven by what you are doing but once that is done you can't change the past and you can't look too far forward.

"I don't think you ever get over it,'' he said. "I am a pretty emotional guy anyway. I cry in every bloody movie I watch.

"I don't mind players showing emotion. I don't mind them crying. You know they are hurting and what they are trying to do.''

Desperate cricket situations never seem as dire for Lehmann now.

That is why, when Australia was in crisis after his sudden appointment as national coach, he nonchalantly said to the players at their first meeting "no team meeting should last for more than 30 minutes. Let's have a beer. Captain shouts.''

It is also why Lehmann's preaches a "family first'' attitude to his players.

The last time Lehmann visited Hookes he initially struggled to say a word.

Hookes was on life support after an altercation with a bouncer on January, 18, 2004 outside the Beaconsfield Hotel in St Kilda, Melbourne.

Hookes, who had been drinking with Lehmann and several other players, crashed to the ground, struck his head and went into a cardiac arrest. He never regained consciousness.

When Lehmann finally started talking to Hookes in the Victorian hospital he could not stop, even though his words could not have got through.

For 20 minutes he spoke to his silent mentor, telling him he loved him and how he would never forget what he had done for him.

"When you are just there like that you say what you want to say,'' Lehmann said.

Lehmann initially could not bring himself to leave but after kissing his old mate and whispering goodbye he finally walked out to the echo of the ward doors closing behind him.

Hookes stayed so firmly in Lehmann's thoughts that months later he was batting in a Test and an image of Hookes flashed through his mind just as the bowler was about to deliver the ball.

A subtle message to move on came months after Hookes' death when Lehmann toured Sri Lanka, the only nation where Hookes made a Test century.

When Lehmann scored a Test century at Galle he shed tears and looked skywards.

Lehmann wrote in his autobiography: "It was as though 'Hookesy' looked down and said in his typical manner, 'You're right now mate, you don't need me any more, off you go, get on with it'.''

Dr Bill Griggs would be an example of an alternative option for the future ..

Why doesn't Cory Bernardi have the guts to run for a house of reps seat instead of being a parasite and hiding behind a senate donkey vote to get elected?

Maybe he's too scared his 'silent majority' theories would get found out.

Hales confirming he's a massive spud ...

Nothing wrong with it all ... except it would the highlight that British were illegal immigrant boat people. Oh, hang on ...

The death penalty isn't a deterrent..... :lol: :lol: :lol:

To simplify it as you need it to be, if the death penalty was a deterrent then states/countries with the death penalty should have zero % crime rates. Would you agree?


Many have tried to survey the crims that have been executed to see whether they would re-offend but unfortunately none responded because they were ... well ... faarking dead.

Ch 10's coverage of the Winter Olympics ...

It's a Bays' guernsey with hoops but without the sash and a few different colours ...

Maccas ... the food is shit and the ads are worse.

Couldn't disagree more. Whilst very sad to see Ford, Holden and now Toyota go, there has never been a greater range of cars for an Australian consumer to buy. This would never have occurred if the tariffs had stayed so artificially high.

After owning Fords and Holden's for years, I haven't touched either for over 10 years and (as a consumer) couldn't be happier.

Correct ... congratulations, you win a bun.

Please stop, my sides are going to burst ...

Mitch would have had 2 deaths on his hands if it wasn't for helmets ...

Not sure why anyone would have a go at West about this ... good luck to them.

He should be happy ... won't have to pay for sex on the inside.

Limp?

you mean apart from being shit?

It took me until match 5 to realise it wasn't the Foxtel Cup.

Aker in white?

Faark the cricket, get the chick in blue back on ...

Yes, the Liberals are idiots on this one.

Just as well the Aussies made those last few runs, will come in handy ..

The irony of a Pakistani and Sri Lankan telling players about the "spirit of the game".

LOL, so the ball is 'thrown' into the pitch every ball bowled. If the batsman drives the ball then there's a chance the ball will hit the pitch again.

90 overs a day is a min 540 hits on the pitch, then add the times the batsman hits it into the pitch.

So we are supposed to believe that a few odd throws from the outfield that bounce to the keeper will dramatically alter the ball, considering the fact that the fieldsmen need to be skilled enough to bounce the ball on the same side each time to get a consistent roughing up of the ball?

Baawaahaaa ...

LOL, is that show still going? ... talk about flogging a dead horse

Can't wait for the first Jimmy in red and blue snap neither.

We turned Jars into a good player ;)

Fruit, carrots, almonds and small tubs of low fat yoghurt ... basically anything natural , fresh and largely unprocessed should do the trick.
