Yes thanks DV. Ken's Colossi are back.

This might be of interest to any cycling fans on here, or just fans of endurance stuff generally. In a couple of days my cousin is about to start a world record attempt at cycling the Pan-American Highway. It's 22,000km from Ushuaia in Argentina to Prudhoe Bay in Alaska. The current record is 117 days and five hours. Dean's aiming for 110 days. He's doing it for charity, trying to raise GBP1million for Heads Together, a mental health awareness charity which seems to be similar to Beyond Blue. Sounds like they're about 1/3 of the way there. Tracking will be available through the main website here, and plenty of background info is also on their facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pah2018/

We got the same creased Viney poster. My daughter wanted to hang it up in the lounge room, her mum prevailed and it's now on the laundry door (facing inwards though!).

Sure there was, just one page ago...

All above board my cycloptic friend (this is the AFL afterall) ...check out those biceps...secure!

Didn't BenJen say he couldn't go south of the wall? If so, doesn't that rule apply to the other wights and White Walkers? Or can they just not pass through the wall? My recollection of the original dagger used in creating the Nights King was that is was Dragonglass...could be wrong though. Re the annulment, I think you're correct. Ol' Sam was too distracted by talk of steps, windows and bowel movements to pick that up...I wonder if it's in his subconscious though? On Sam, I assume he's head of House Tarley now...does he still have his old man's sword that he stole?

A gloomy castle like Winterfell is the perfect backdrop for Baelish peering around corners in the semi-dark. Arya to wear his face at some stage? Or just slice him up? Happy to see Gendry back, and agree with@nutbean that's an iconic crew heading north of the wall. Has the potential for some superbly profane and insulting chats around the campfire led by the Hound.

Whoops. Had a great attachment to...attach. It appears I've used up my quota though.

Needed more Hound. I did enjoy Arya's comment about having baked a couple of pies lately, although it came right after I nearly had a vom watching Sam 'helping' Ser Jorah. In other semi-related news the kids were watching Horrible Histories last night (I'm partial to the 'Stupid Deaths' segment myself, has a very catchy ditty), and I noticed one of the actors was Mike Gatiss (thanks IMDB) who played Tycho Nestoris from the Iron Bank. He has a pretty distinctive face, although also thanks to IMDB I see I watched him just the other night in Taboo and had no idea who he was. Ok, back on track...needs more Hound.

I don't have the patience for it, but at a guess I'd say the Freo boards (if such things exist) would have been frothing with Hogan talk before he re-signed.

Had a bone sticking out of his leg didn't he? My favourite character in the show. I've always hoped he and the Mountain would have some huge face-off at some stage, but his vision now has me worried he'll end up meeting his demise at the hands of the White Walkers. Clegane Quote of the Week: To Dondarrian: There's no divine justice, you dumb [censored]. If there was, you'd be dead and that girl would be alive.

Some high praise indeed. On Cam Smith, I do remember years ago reading that the strength and conditioning man at the Storm at the time (it might have been Rob Jackson) used to call him 'The Accountant' because he thought he just didn't look like an athlete.

That's an excellent likeness.

'Bounce it properly then' Max to the peanut umpire who had a sook when he'd done a pathetic sideways bounce that he was trying to recall when Max smashed it away. Ump had given him a dirty look and whined, 'what'd you do that for?'.

Hadn't seen an episode two months ago. Have now watched them all. Absolutely superb stuff. Surely there has to be a Clegane Battle Royale at some stage. I'll back the Hound just for his delightful vocabulary.

And here it is...the one I was talking about anyway.

ANB stood over him and gave him a huge serve right near the end. He was tackled high but the knees gave way and he raised a fist to the sky.

I want to know what your mum was driving ET?

I assume this is the table. Apologies for the formatting, each heading is offset to the right for some reason. Edit: Stats for key forwards at 20 years of age.

Still two years to go (potentially). This thread could break the interwebs.

Can you imagine him holding back in any game though, let alone the Nats?

Shocking news. Just terrible. Vale Phil Hughes.

Who the F knows exactly what's going with Phil Rudd, but I'm an unashamed Acca Dacca man from way back. This was really before my time, but in my opinion it was them at their best...rock solid, without the theatrics, plus the Demon horns on the Angus cap!!
