In the left corner (as Rob would never been seen in that corner) is the challenger P-man and in the right corner is the famous Mr RobbieF. The crowd is expecting a big match today between these two heavy weights. One fighter is the master of fact and figures, while the other has achieved the highest skill level in denial and ignorance. Who will wear down the other to become this thread's champion?

Here he is

I stand corrected LOL

Pity the NAB cup is such a poor competition and no one can assess a time from how they perform in it.

In my view it is about sustainable milk prices. That is that there is a local producer that is operating efficiently and at a cost effective price. IMO industries that want support from the local community have an obligation to also support that community. Too many times have I seen a particular industry slow little or no regard to the local community and chase the fast dollar in other areas to be forced back when thing turn sour in those new markets or it was only a short term wind fall. As a customer I have little sympathy for industries try and price gouge/forget their local communities. A recent example that I remember was when the local banana industry set it products over east due to a shortage of Bananas and the large short term profits on offer. Hence I actually no long look to buy local bananas. Government protection of industries is an emotive thing. IMO Government should not support unsustainable industries unless there is a greater benefit to the community. Where Government does support industries it should be for an equity interest so that some of the profits generated from such support can go back to the community and not just in shareholders pockets. The loss of the car industry does have a security issue. In time of war how are we to arm ourselves? We will have to rely on supply from overseas from shipping etc. Industries of manufacture are import not just for jobs and job generation. But that is another story.

HT, The Hood and CBF I think you guys have worn down poor old Robbie and Ben Her with good old fashioned logic and reasoning.

Yes as we need to keep everything simple for BBO He gets too upset when we confuse him.

No he said its zero, be we know better LOL

BBO joins the Liberal Party

A liberal party convention Mr Abbott showing off again

If we know anything about you BBO is how much you actually do care !

Biff one would think you don't have a week day and a week end house ?

Don't be so quick there Moonie after all it is Ben Her you are talking about after all.

As long as local producers show respect to their local markets, I would agree. Very likely that will happen, agreed Not sure that will happen as the car industry is very competitive and car will be produced in lower production cost countries and a lot of cars are already imported.

I can not stand beer! My Uncle thinks I must be a foundling as the family is full of beer drinkers. I come from a long line of miners. My Aunty once said about the MFC of which she is a supporter "the Chardonnay Club" Now you are bring back memories Jazza as I am thinking of my Dad and the times when the MFC could actually play football. I would call him every time we beat Freo and sing our theme song! At the end he refused to take my calls. Now that what Footy is all about!

I admire you HT but don't you feel like its talking to a brick wall. The guys is not going to listen to a word anyone says that is against his world view. I agree with CBF as I block the guy months ago and can only see his posts in a quote box. Its up to you TH but I would recommend not to empower his rants. But if you like the challenge then go for it!

You don't have a couple of bottles of Scotch in that fridge?

Thanks DC LOL you can't as it was stolen

Win games and lots of them!

Really! Corio is a "Working class" suburb, adjacent to and incorporating industrial estates - with 21.3% of its employed residents of age 15 years and over nominating 'Labourer' as their chosen occupation (compared to 10.5% in the whole of Australia). Numbers occupied as Technicians, Trades Workers, Machinery Operators, and Drivers are also higher than the national average. According to the 2006 census, the largest employer type was "Motor Vehicle" and "Motor Vehicle Part Manufacturing". As such, the planned 2016 closure of the Ford plant, a long-term employer, will reduce employment opportunities in the future.[5] In 2013, 2.3% of mortgages in Corio had become delinquent, up from 1.5% in September 2012, and is amongst the highest numbers of all suburbs in Victoria. Reports have attributed this rate to job cuts at Alcoa, Ford, and Target that year.[6] Historically speaking, Ford Motor Company[7] had its plant in full production by August 1926, producing 36,000 T-models over the next two years of work. During World War II, Ford manufactured military vehicles and all manner of craft & weaponry. It then concentrated its post-war goals on engine manufacturing for the Ford Falcon model (produced at Broadmeadows). Also according to the 2006 census,[8] 5,969 residents age 15 years and over were employed: 52.7% were employed full-time, 28.6% part-time, 3.6% were employed but away from work, 3.4% were employed but did not state the number of hours worked; and 11.7% were fully unemployed. There were 4,877 local residents age 15 years and over who were not in the labour force. You guys must be very poor in Victoria then unlike us very rich sandgropers. LOL

I suspect I worked out the type of person or persons who did it They did not open the Laundry Cupboard (Cleaning must scare them) They left the wine behind but took my Scotch. They stole my Fog Machine but left the stuff that makes it work behind. They taken my camera but left the required charger. They taken my money but left the 5 cent pieces behind.

Actual I had taken my good camera home with me. Just need to charge them up. It was my basic camera that was taken. LOL

Window 8 Phone do I need to say more?

That in Victoria LOL

They had taken my camera OD!
