Yes, and like many others I have family ties extending back as far as the first fleet... however, I like to believe that we are developed enough to stand on our own two feet and do not need to advertise to the rest of the world that we were part of the once great empire. If I didn't get the feeling that the original owners of this country might be offended, I would be happy to see the aboriginal flag replacing the union jack in the top left.

Just cut out that piece in the top left portion.

I think Gere's one of those actors who seems to have improved with age...he did a more than serviceable job in the remake of the Japanese film "Shall We Dance" and in the film "Hachi: A Dog's Tale" which was also a take on a Japanese story.On Monday I'm taking my 10 year old son to see "Life of Pi"...looking forward to that.

Liked that film a lot...Anthony Hopkins and Ben Mendelsohn.

I get the feeling he may be taking the pizz

Ok, you are right... I probably would have discredited it here as well ;-) In truth though, I was operating under the possibly misguided view that such a rumour would possibly have appeared here as well, as there seem to be many here who are (supposedly) very close to the clubs inner sanctum.

Just received my order of the Frankenweenie 3D blu ray, so will be sitting down with the kids tonight to watch that...loved it at the cinema. Now waiting on Lawless, Intouchable and Samsara to arrive sometime around mid Feb and hopefully next week will receive the new RPG for PS3 called Ni No Kuni which is designed (illustrated) by Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli... it's for my kids, but they are going to have to fight me for it first ;-)

No, the OP stated 'ology in error and actually meant Big Footy... this makes it, in my mind, carry far less weight...and as someone else already stated, how would a player know (let alone the player's father)?

Really? I just took a look on 'ology and could see no such post. Last post was in a Denham on Watts thread and made no mention...and there are no other recent posts.

Is it just a trick of the lens, or has Watts really bulked up over the off season? In the pic on the previous page of this thread, he certainly looks like he won't be pushed off the ball so easily this season.

Hadn't realised that I said he "discovered" Garland was a forward. Regardless of when Neeld was made aware of that fact, the thrust of my post remains he same.

From what I recall, Garland was recruited as a forward and Neeld was prompted to move him forward upon learning of that; so it's not really a part of the ground that is completely foreign to him.

tanks for the memories

Perhaps some kind of explanation might be helpful?

So, was there an interview, or was diesel's "snippet on the news" not actually from a formal interview? If there was an interview, this would have to be almost the first time in my "life" on Demonland, that not one poster has been able to report on it.

I don't want to have to re-read everything in order to find out, but is there an actual date by which the MFC must respond to the allegations... and if so, what is it (there are only 6 business days left in January)? And beyond that, is there a time-frame within which the AFL must make their decision as to whether to go ahead and press charges or to drop the whole thing?

There was an inteview? ;-)

Colors... another great film with a superb soundtrack. One of my favourite Penn films is State of Grace (about the Irish mob in NYC's Hell Kitchen) where he is teamed up with Ed Harris and Gary Oldman. In my opinion, it's the equal of Goodfellas.

Yes, I like the look of Gangster Squad..seeing Sean Penn's name in the cast had me sold on it immediately! The other bluray I've pre-ordered is The Man with the Iron Fists...another over the top Tarantino production directed by, and featuring RZA.

I expect to see this post misrepresented in the SMH tomorrow morning.

I just had a couple of DVDs/blu rays arrive today which I'm looking forward to watching when I get a moment... Quatermass and the Pit and The Best of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore - Not Only, But Also.

No, I hadn't realised that...but I do remember spending a lot of time in the area in the 70s at various music venues in the area...Kingston Hotel, Tiger Room etc.

I already have the blu ray pre-ordered from Amazon...no release date yet :-)
