Biff I am bald, it is not a problem, at least not one that needs direct medical attention. Instead I drive a Corvette to make up for it.

I would usually cut you some slack Wrecker and your gross stupidity on climate change issues, but unfortunately this issue is too important. Your beliefs are stupid, illogical and dangerous. First You deny there is a problem, deny the science, the basic physics of CO2 in the atmosphere then You question the predictive models as getting it wrong, then as the data pours in that is validating the modelpredictions, You call into question the data, it is now being doctored by the national Bureau of Met. For what possible reason only your contorted, conspiratorial mind can explain. Meanwhile if you ever stick your head out the window and observe the weather you might notice we are about to break another raft of temperature records this weekend up north in NSW but of course that is just the norm when measured over the past million years. This is Climate Change in action as we communicate!

Hottest Australian winter on record! Climate change is now happening, don't worry about the models, we are experiencing it now. Only the deluded are still questioning the data in the predictive models to try to deny it. Forget the models, look out your window at what is happening on the ground.

So where does the Diet of Worms come into this discussion? I still think Martin Luther was railroaded in the final edict, myself. Discuss.

What were Diesel Williams' stats for meters gained in his Brownlow years? I know they didn't do those stats then. My memory was when he was in the middle he was a master of the quick, short handball to someone in a better position, more than kicking the ball to a position because he was so often in the centre of a dense maul of players. Clarrie seems to have potentially, a similar set of skills.

Socceroos v Japan we are playing well but just went one down. Wasn't that off side? I always struggle with that rule, I thought you were not allowed to run forward of everyone else like that, to receive a pass?

I wanted to see him playing more time at half forward because he can take a mark and he can kick a goal. But the fact is we needed him in the middle big time because for much of the season we didn't have our best mid line up, Viney and/ or Jones, Tyson, Vince etc. He kept racking up 30 plus possessions per game but perhaps his impact lessened toward the end of the season.

Reports are the the Dorks are chasing him, replacement for Gibson just as they covered Lewis and S Mitchell with Mitchell and Jaegar. How the hell do you kill this club in the modern era where they just keep cherry picking top talent based on their recent, past success to fill holes?

Skeeter Coghlan?

Thanks Nut was about to post the same article. Just more climate conclusions from the observed data from 13 different US agencies, no less. But of course they are all part of the conspiracy. Why they would be doing that is a mystery of course to all except the C deniers who can't see why corporations with multi billion dollar vested interests in fossil fuels might be causing confusion and doubt via any number of so called and falsely labelled "Think Tanks". Such as the Heartland Institute funded by the Koch Brothers who shall we say are a menace to modern civilisation, along with Rupert Murdoch. In a rational world they would be dealt with forthwith. If not violently, perhaps we could send Rupert off to Manus Island and the Koch boys to Guantanimo Bay. The world would be a better place for this I assure you.

DC the last 2 summers we have been saved by unusual summer humidity drifting south from the tropics as Sydney experiences but we usually don't. I work with people who manage our water supply catchments and I can assure you they were concerned in the past 2 seasons when we had not received our Spring rains to wet the catchments and were expecting the worst in January or February.

Wrecker are you for real? You spend your time questioning climate change predictions as rubbish but when I post an article citing observed data that has been recorded and experienced and is citing warmer and dryer outcomes, you accuse the BoM of fiddling data and cite you experiences of iced windscreens, for heaven's sake! Climate change studies going back to the late 1990's for Victoria by the CSIRO have only ever predicted warmer temperatures, and less rainfall, not more! So what the hell are you talking about? Have you produced an academic paper on your icy windscreens theory for scientific peer review? If you haven't I suggest you go back to the Institute of Public affairs and ask for further advice.

The observed data keeps pointing in one very worrying direction, drier and warmer as the climate models predict! http://www.theage.com.au/environment/weather/australia-blows-away-its-july-daytime-temperature-record-as-rain-stayed-away-20170801-gxmx3h.html

J Kelly?

Very hard to stomach Biff. Three quarter time a 6 point deficit, 30 minutes yet to play with a 30 km/h tail wind, a finals spot on the line for us, for Norf, nothing of note, yet we fall short yet again! Not good enough and I suspect it will cost us a spot in the final 8, whereas a win may have secured a top 4 position, in a year where anyone in the finals could win it! And worst of all we may be the underperforming bunnies who let the Dorks into the 8 and given their recent form, they could win the bloody thing.

His battle against the Teutonic Knights I think. A very gothic group with some great armour as I remember. A great film where an army of barbarians perished on a melting ice flow on the Volga?

Close Moons, in fact I had been in Sydney until yesterday, quite sunny and mild up there compared to this cold and windy place! So I missed the Wuthering Heights mass [censored] event in the Edinburough Gardens. I wonder how many Fitzroy people were involved, I suspect there were numerous people from Burwood and Romsey who may or may not be pagan. And let me state clearly I have never ordered a caramel macha latte for heaven's sake! Keep coffee simple, I say, small cappuccino, no chocolate on top will do. While in Sydney I have been test driving some high performance cars, much more fun to drive than the Bentley I must say. A bright crome yellow corvette will be coming to Fitzroy sometime soon, so keep an eye out as I will be touring through the outer suburbs and regional towns over the next few months to lift the spirits of those less fortunate than myself. It is the least I can do to give back to my community!

A report of a breakout of Panama Disease on several banana plantations outside Cairns. Brace yourselves!

Uncle I take note of your comments. I am more than ready to undertake whatever practical measurements are necessary to back up my theoretical ascertions about gender based physical differences. In fact Inlook forward to the opportunity.

If this were the case Uncle it would discriminate against women surely?

Good point Uncle but then who is the Ernest who keeps posting with us? I am starting to think Twilight Zone stuff myself. Come to think about it, while I was on my 5th daiquiri at Hemingway's I saw this guy in the corner, in the shadows with black hair smoking a cigarette and talking to a camera I couldn't see! Time for me to get out of Manly I think.

I did add a photo but it just collapses into an imagepeg, not the first time?

Has anyone seen Ernest lately? I have been sitting on a daiquiri for hours here in Manly at Hemingways, still hasn't shown up.

His old man is there in the Adelaide rooms tonight, Jake said dad was there with all his mates from Romsey in Victoria! Do we need to get BBO to start working on Lever to get him over the line?

Is that Rodney on the right?
