And you say you're not a rusted on Lib... you are fooling no-one with sweeping generalisations such as that. And his response to the shooting down of MH17 is nothing different to what any other of our leaders would have done in the same position. He is the leader of the country and has to act... simple. As for the bracketed line immediately after that (selfies etc), what that has to do with anything is beyond me...but to seemingly place it as a comment on how they may have responded to the MH17 event, is beyond the pale. You are not rusted on... you are bolted, welded, and superglued on.

and for this latest lot, inadequate is the word.

No, I have it on good authority that ENYAW is a member of the Pentecostal faith and that when he is "taken with the Lord" he is simply engaging in what is technically known as Glossolalia... or to the layman, typing in tongues.

This pretty much sums the games up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Aj3KZa1ZCM&feature=player_embedded

I'm pretty sure that was originally a movie and was possibly made in Scandinavia (Norway?)... remember seeing it a while ago.

As I recall it, he was DEFINITELY not coming to the MFC as well.

That response to a phrase often used to show respect for someone whose achievements you admire would seem to indicate that our friend and fellow poster is a few pickets short of the full fence. My only question mark over the original post is... why are Collingwood players visiting your school; isn't it time to get a few Dees doing the rounds?

Can I throw in a third option... PerdersEn?

Well, we will have to take your word on that.

What can you do?

I'd like to believe that too... but I guess there's no way of really knowing until he makes his decision.

I did a bit of searching and all reviews indicated that the DVD only covers the opening ceremony (on disc 1) and the athletes parade (disc 2); no closing ceremony footage. Also, it was filmed in 4:3 format and not widescreen which was a pretty dumb move.

Ling has also stated he is still open to considering working on Carlton's coaching team despite his run in with Malthouse: http://www.smh.com.au/afl/afl-news/cameron-ling-still-open-to-working-with-mick-malthouse-at-carlton-20140717-zu7d5.html

Apparently Porte has the best time trial times of all in the top 10, so hopefully if he can maintain position until the second last stage without losing too much ground on Nibali, he may be in with a shot for a podium finish (if not outright victory).

I am pretty sure Midnight Oil were a part of the closing ceremony along with the Reg Mombassa props etc, not the opening ceremony (unless both are included on the DVD?).

Replace them with a team from Tasmania.

Uncalled for.

The most apt quote regarding hope (particularly the goals bit): "To be without hope is like being without goals, what are you working towards?" Catherine Pulsifer

Wrist guards in teh wet wouldn't have helped Froome as he did his wrist in the dry in what appeared to be a really innocuous fall. The commentators last night were speculating that it may actually have been broken. But what riveting viewing that stage was! I thought the ride of the stage was (and I forget his name) Porte's team mate in dragging him up to within 1:54 (I think it was) of Nibali by the finish. The way Nibali rode the cobbled sections was also beautiful to watch.

You're just trying to make an already complicated system unnecessarily complicated, aren't you.

I would like to see an additional scoring option included in the rules where the player can call out "poster!!" as he kicks the ball on the run (or as he prepares to take a set kick)... if it hits the post he gets 9 points for nominating a shot with a high degree of difficulty. If he doesn't make the call and it hits the post, then it is considered accidental and just the single point is awarded. And to make it more interesting (and to employ a "no shenanigans" rule), if said player does call "poster" and it passes through the goals without hitting the post, his score is devalued to just 3 points. I think it's a goer... anyone else agree?

It has been mentioned in the media (AFL360 were talking that angle up last night)... bit either way, that should be no excuse for what he did... they should both do time and I agree with the picket fence... he got off lightly.

By the look of the quotes above, it would seem GSof a G is one of those of whom you speak.

Then how about we have a GPS device inserted in the ball which is synchronised with other GPS devices that are attached to the four goal posts and four point posts...this could then all be hooked up to an automated scoring system that registers the goal or point, automatically updating the scoreboard, This will save the AFL the wages they currently pay the goal umpires and score board attendants (all no longer required). In fact the same technology could be used for boundary line calls.

Well, that would open a whole can of worms... if you are to pay that like soccer, then every ball that is touched or run through the goals should also be a goal. The only issue I have with the whole goal/point system is that if a ball hits the goal post it's a point and if it hits the point post it's out of bounds... why is it that if it is touched through the goals it's a point, yet if it's touched through the points, it's a point and not out of bounds?
