Common issue Biff. I failed structural engineering and surveying at least once, well twice actually but I am in the engineering industry 25 years on and still functioning. Funny thing that, but how many people are working outside their area of expertise? Where I work I would say at least 50 per cent of people are operating outside their area of expertise.

Both were great centre half backs. At least one of them never took performance enhancing substances to enhance their career we think.

NB I did not find Zaky's comments that confronting myself. Remember that he had been through the system, been accused of terror related activities, found not guilty but did time on a lesser charge of making threats to ASIO officers. He fessed up to this at the start on Q and A. We are not talking about a saint but a troubled youth. But the LNP junior ministers response was classic, "I vaguely remember your case I think you got off on a technicality I would unilaterality deport you tomorrow". Was that not the point of the arguement against the proposed legislation? Zakey clumsily tried to point out that the LNP outlook would just encourage more disillusioned youth to join IS. Yes it was all very messy but gee we are dealing with live TV debating important matters. But our PM can't handle that of course. Yes let the courts decide these things, not idiots like the junior minister involved. And then why are we denying responsibility for our own citizens? If they are terrorists and they come back here we will deal with them.

Biff thanks for the insider tip off. I will divest ASAP before the others know what hit them, then buy back in at the bottom. There is nothing better than profitting off other's misery. By the way at which University did you complete your economics/finance degree as you obviously have such a command of finance theory?

Wrecker did you catch 4Corners tonight? The AFP's investigation into some big drug busts and the Mafia in 2007/8. It mentioned a number of known Calabrian Mafia personalities flying in on Visas unhindered. Wrecker, you and Team Australia better head out to Melbourne airport to check who is coming into the country, they are coming in on tourist visas, student visas and 457 visas by the hundreds every week. Who knows how many evil doers may be amongst them.

Tabloids doesn't mean the OZ wrecker! Don't you understand? Ever read the Herald Sun or the Telegraph?

Wrecker can you please first explain the direct positive impacts on you personally of those two changes? Lower power prices perhaps but it was minor at best. Boat people's direct impact on you?

Yes was thinking that myself. What was it 7.0 for Cloke against us. Against the Dawks what is he 1.5 FCS. The Pies are playing all over the Dawks but can't buy a goal. The Dawks are playing in cameos and still leading and you know it is just a matter of time for it all to clicks. They should be 4 goals down.

BBO I always concern myself with matters of royalty. He is the Prince after all!

The Prince out with a foot! When did that happen?

But didn't we establish that he is no relation to our Lovell?

I really like the reviews. But really to be honest I am sick of the overuse of the redundant word "really". It keeps showing up from assistant coaches to Roos and has been overused for years by our coaches. What is it about the word really?

R&B don't worry I have been to the tent a couple of times, caught up with Rochey for strawberries and cream just yesterday actually. You can do both when you have my years of experience under your belt. Firey says hello by the way!

Yes I couldn't agree more Soidee, I could hear the fanatics and their bogan revelling from the practice courts where The Djoker and I were warming up yesterday.

Now you just being really pederdantic Nasher

Nothing and anything Is my guess.

Junior can you expand on your comments please?

I am not one to exaggerate as you know DC but yes I had an 8" floppy in earlier days but these days I am working with a 5.25"more often than not!

Still using MS DOS myself DC with a 6" floppy as well!

Paladin, San Francisco!

Have not been to a Macca's or a while. What is that? It looks like some sort of by-product of coal seam gas production DC. I am sure they have added enough sugar to overpower the sulphuric tastes.

None so far. I think the viewer feedback from last week's rubbish must have been very pointed.

Gee it's quiet on here the last few days. Where is BBO, school holidays, I suppose he has headed north for winter perhaps. Jazza busy with dairy industry issues, Deefrog could be banana picking up in Carnarvon or he could be surfing down at Margaret River, they were predicting 12m waves on Friday and I see there is still a 5 metre swell running today. Amazing we have not seen any coverage of this in the East. DC are you bunkered down in Borewood with all this talk of IS coming to get us?

Noted that Malthouse on SEN picked out Brayshaw as something special in amongst the usual talk by the other commentators of how good the Dogs, St Kilda, the Tigers are going to be in the next three years. Mick picked out MFC as a team to look out for largely based on Brayshaw, Hogan etc.

Yes pretenders falling over is letting the Dawks in with a chance at top 2 yet again. Might as well pencil them in for three in a row now.
