  1. Has stepped down... effective immediately.
  2. Tell ‘im he’s D. Reeming!
  3. Ah, you mean the 1967 amendment regarding the constitutional position of Indigenous Australians... how does that work? ?
  4. Luckily, for the usual suspects, they've still got Viney to fret over.
  5. One flare up is an ongoing issue? Alrighty then! Hopefully your footy predictions are on par with your political predictions ?
  6. And sometimes they are used to perform relatively minor procedures; for example, my son had his meniscus repaired via an arthroscopy.
  7. Kicking those 6 goals has given him a repetitive strain injury.
  8. That’s good news indeed! Like trainspotters, I think there’s something not quite right about birders. ?
  9. Here’s a bit more Dicky Betts. But the reason I’m posting this is that he’s joined for the second number by another of my favourite guitarists, Brian Setzer. The dueling guitars are amazing and the tone that Setzer gets is just something else. He was still essentially a new kid on the block in ‘84, but boy could he play that thing!! Even Betts looked a little gobsmacked! Enjoy!
  10. Another of my heroes right there, Dave Edmunds! We do a couple of his tunes, Worn Out Suits (With Brand New Pockets), and Standing at the Crossroads Again.
  11. I had the privilege of meeting and photographing this guy in Sydney about three years ago. He's not into all of the histrionics and pyrotechnics that so many guitar heroes are into, but maybe that's why Albert Lee has always been one of my favourite guitarists (Steve Morse and Vince Gill aren't too shabby either); he just plays the thing...
  12. Lewis was talking about Kossie Pickett, not Farmer.
  13. Saw him at Bluesfest a few years ago... he’s fantastic. My band sometimes covers his song China Doll. If you watch the movie ‘Chef’, he appears playing in an outdoor area surrounded in food trucks, in, I think, Austin, Texas.
  14. Can’t help but think that this may be partially the reason Trump is refusing to attend the inauguration.
  15. Nostradamus supposedly also had a history of getting things right... unfortunately the number of 'correct' predictions paled into insignificance against those he got wrong.
  16. The first band that I was ever in in 1972, got to open for BT & the Aztecs at the Werribee Civic Centre (or whatever it was called) and the bastards wouldn’t let us use their PA system, so we had to hire a little Strauss system that could barely be heard 20 metres from the stage. We’d done another gig there a few weeks before that, opening for Daddy Cool and they let us go through their system and gave us a really nice mix. I have to say I wasn’t much of an Aztecs fan after that experience.
  17. I don't think I could ever separate at least 10 Stones songs to pick one that is the best. Gimme Shelter, Factory Girl, Sweet Virginia, Sympathy For the Devil, Can't Always Get What You Want, Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Spider & the Fly, Ruby Tuesday, Paint it Black etc etc... so many brilliant songs.
  18. In the post above where you respond to P2J, you’re actually quoting TeamPlayedFine39’s post.
  19. Devine intervention?
  20. That's like watching a train wreck on an infinite loop!
  21. I doubt that very much... as I understand it, he is relatively new to the game and was taken due to his natural athletic prowess. In some ways he is a project player, so I'd be a little surprised to see him get a game at all this year.
  22. Can I point out that it is Bda, the correct acronym for Better days ahead. You're welcome and don't mention it. ?
  23. Foreshortened image... Kossie is probably a few metres ahead of Farmer.

    Yes OD, I’m not confident we’ll get to see safe live football in 2021, but I try to be optimistic regardless. I’m certainly not going to be putting myself at risk by attending games before I’m vaccinated.

    Thanks.
