....but on condition his sister is hired as the Tiges full-time Pilates coach

Old I understand your point and it has merit. The question (and I don't think you or I can answer it) is where do you draw the line. What is the optimum amount of welfare and is there room for Waylen (assuming his upside is good). So, accepting your caution but I have to hope the FD/Club know what they're doing, assuming they are even interested

I'll pay that And good pickup DA on the double sunglasses.....could this be a clue to what really happened? .....to be continued no doubt

Damn........bloody spoilsport!

I used to think the definition of lunacy was losing to Geelong by 31 goals ................changed my mind but

40,000 exactly somehow I think the club will buy the required number of 3-game memberships at the last minute to reach this milestone

You are nothing if not tenacious rpfc but in contrast to your stand over HWL I am in NO way dismissing/minimising Col's behaviour I simply say wait for more details rather than embellish the few tidbits we have. That's not too much to ask is it? When I know more I'll be happy to cast judgement

So you say he left the scene. What does this exactly mean? Do you know how long he did stay. Do you know if he checked if anyone was injured. Do you know if he rang a tow truck or one tuned up before he left. Saying someone "Left/fled the scene of an accident" is a statement that implies more than it actually states. If he did not stay around long enough to do the normal post accident stuff as any normal owner would do then I agree it would not reflect well on him, whether or not it was a legal obligation. Again there is just a lack of factual detail and an obvious desire of the press to exploit/sensationalise

You don't know that that he 'couldn't' drive his own car. He could well have been under .05 but he was unsure, so he decided the safe option was to not drive. I'm sure players are instructed this way. If you had 4 or 5 beers on Sat night over say 4 hours and a meal, would you be confident that you would be under .05 at 6am on Sun? I suggest you couldn't be sure and the recommended safe option would be to not take the chance. Anyway this all conjecture, just hold your horses until you know a few facts.

Calm down rpfc. Being possibly over .05 the next morning is not necessarily being drunk or an indication of excessive drinking the night before, and therefore not driving is a reasonable sensible precaution. We don't know how much he drunk. We don't know whether he had a sleep at his mates place, we don't know how long he hung around after the accident. We do know his mate can't drive, we do know the press is so short of stories they would jump at anything and we do know Col is not the sharpest tool in the drawer.. But....you seem to know all the facts. I'd prefer to wait until more facts are available and I certainly wouldn't believe the first flush in the Hun.

Well unless they are going to build a carpark underneath and a roof above, I can't see how they are simulating conditions at Darklands If they really are doing that let them waste their money

Hardtack, I think WA might have meant 'drink & drive' instead of 'drink or drive'

and I heard Greg Denham, desperate for a new story, cut the brake cable on Col's car.......CSI investigating

Seems Colin needs to get a new mate who actually know how to drive a car!

The "mid round pick" is just before the eight (8) finalists. There are 18 sides. 18-8 = 10. 10 normal picks then mid pick is 11. Add the "after first round" pick at 2 and mid pick becomes 12 Got it

nah best is 1,2,12 'cos 2 is a compo you should read prev posts

I'd have Hudson before Lockett or Dunstall....best avg goals/game of the lot

OK thats better, but make the 11min as a 12min because you already have 1 compo at pick 2. Cheers

Whilst the Normans spoke a very backward version of French they were in fact more ethnically German than French having originally migrated south from Germanic areas before settling in Normandy For many centuries in England the language of Court, Government and the Aristocracy was Norman French, but not for the common people There is much Viking blood (and words) in the English too Most modern English certainly don't share your "affinity" with the French.....LOL

where did you get the 9 from?

Thanks Trident.....embarassing......can't see how I missed that

apparently it was T$ who spoke to Kennett

If there is a grain of truth in it, it was probably Jeffry having a few too many sherbets at the Army & Navy Club discussing the end of his term as president with Hawthorn with some inebriated disaffected Dees supporter of some dubious celebrity who said offhandedly to Jeff that he aught to come down to MFC and clean up the place. More of a throw away line than anything of import. But hey, if you can sensationalise it why bother with reporting accuracy. This is the Australian after all.

There is a max of 500mb. I'm at 425mb. I want to see what it is and then I want to free up more space by deleting some files. I can't find anywhere where I can see/edit this info

I'd prefer Killermanjurrah (kilimanjaro, get it) to Jurrahcane
