I've begrudgingly liked this for much the same reasons of whuffer, but I've not heard one bad bad word about Ginever.

His performance in the 1994 GF was one for the ages he just kept cracking in against the odds all through the 2nd and 3rd qtr then the dam broke.

Finest Captains performance I've seen in a Granny

This could be in the Sh1ts thread, the Sad thread or this one, but I'll be positive about it.

Big Miss Jase was due to have her first Level 6 gymnastics competition on Saturday arvo, and was having g the teams final traininsession Friday night.

The very last tumbling pass before the cool down started at the end of the session, she misjudged her Back Sault and fell on her arm/wrist.

We ended up I hospital at 8:45 pm and ended up leaving after inconclusive xrays at 3:30am.

She was devo about missing her comp, and potentially another 2 comps ,but still wanted to go and cheer on her team.

You could see her little (big) heart breaking when her teammates where competing but she kept on cheering for them...

Hopefully thr follow up xrays on Wednesday will be clear and a couple of weeks she'll be back.

Hope she’s ok. You’ve taught her well Jase, always support your team mates.

Really well mate, thank you.

Has given the stick the flick and other than a bit of a limp you wouldn't know she'd hurt herself.

I did! Mum wondered why I rolled up with 3 beers when it was only me. ( She should know better ).

I met him on a flight a few years ago
He was fairly bombastic and laughed at everything
I spent an hour or so talking with him about all sorts of things
Came away thinking - "what a great bloke"
He just seems to enjoy life

Bugger, can't get much closer... What year level, if you don't mind me asking?

U13

Just asked the Google home mini in the office to play some music and surprise me.

I got Iron Maiden's Run to the Hills on the violin!

Another racial out burst at a sporting event, this time at the NRL.

What I rate was the response by the South Sydney coach Jason Demetrius and the impassioned plea to end racism and telling supporters not to come if that’s what they are going to do. Rarely do we hear that from coaches

Actually made the hairs on my neck stand up

Wife off on a cruise for the weekend so that leaves me with a weekend of footy, races and golf

Nah not P & O, cheap, nasty, feral and much younger.
Hopefully no kids on this one though hence why it appealed
