Love Bern. Not too many blokes win B&Fs at two clubs. Loved his pointy elbows even though they meant his unsociable brand was always on the borderline of a suspension. Met him at the Interstate supporters function last year (he was guest speaker because he was suspended) and got a selfie with him, Robbo and my good wife. I suggested to her at the time that I'd turn for Bern. Nothing's changed.

And his head is disproportionately large.

Check your mail! My sister was organising tickets for the family yesterday and had much the same story as everyone else...managed to make a booking but it timed out before confirming the purchase. Four hours later she gave up in disgust. Ten minutes ago her tickets from the 'failed' purchased arrived via email.

Just glad I haven't booked my flights to Melb for the game yet...

He has a more suitable head for radio I reckon.

Didn't have that pleasure, but a mate who worked there for a while as an ambo told me a few Maddog stories. On topic, Jesse to kick 6 today.

Sorry about that Uncle. Pillow head is as imaginatively named as all the others...literally a person wandering around with a pillow wrapped around her head. Not a thin hotel pillow either, this one was huge, like a beach ball. I think it made the chroming more efficient and/or protected the noggin in a fall. Saw her a few times in the CBD but then also right out near the airport...

I spent 8 weeks walking around the Perth CBD for work in 2016. Saw some amazing sights (punchup out the front of the Criterion at 9:30am) and some amazing characters (angry skater man, abusive red hat man, creepy dude in window, pillow head, the East Perth TAB crew near the Carlton). I was considering writing a book on the experience but may run into some problems at work re publishing... #perf

This is worth a bump...after 48 days ol Deano made it to Cartagena in Columbia and smashed the South American World Record by 10 days! Now in Panama and cycling on. He's had food poisoning twice, ran into a highway sign at 40km/h (not food poisoning related), and has gone from 88kg to 81kg so far. Bloody Legend!

They'll have to cop it in terms of penalties and being called 'cheats' for the rest of their careers (post-career too). Pathetic news to wake up to. Thank god the footy has started

Bloody father-in-law...apologies for the interruption lads, I'll leave you to it!

Hi all, might be my first visit ever to this thread...so I am happy for this to be taken with as much skepticism as can be expected with an anonymous tip on the interwebs. Father-in-law has 'recommended' Peaceful State in the Randwick Guineas. There's a family connection so maybe he's just being hopeful...

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...

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.

'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.
