Didn't they say exactly the same thing about White Lotus? And that turned out to be a damp squib.

Never heard of white lotus so had to google it.  I see it's on the Binge streaming service which I don't have 

And the police still can't find a prostitute even when they openly present themselves.  As prostitution is illegal in Thailand will these ladyboys be charged with soliciting?

Wanted to change my tip to Carlton but just missed the cut off

Interpol is working... why is the Red Bull heir still on the run??

I don't think he is as the statute of limitations has expired.

6 men against 1

THE TWO Opening Round matches scheduled for Queensland this weekend have been postponed due to the tropical cyclone that is set to hit the state's south coast.

Brisbane's match against Geelong at the Gabba on Thursday night and Gold Coast's game against Essendon at People First Stadium on Saturday afternoon will now be played later in the season, with those details yet to be determined by the AFL.

FULL STATEMENT Hear from the AFL about Opening Round changes

It means the League's Opening Round this weekend will consist of just two matches; Sydney and Hawthorn will open the season at the SCG on Friday night before Greater Western Sydney will host Collingwood on Sunday.

It would have been nice to tell us what the acronym stands for.

 

I still haven't worked it out, and I can't be bothered to Google it!

It's an American t.v drama show

Sorry I don't get the visa connection.  How does a visa prevent this?

It certainly is, dont know what they call the pub now but use to be The Council Club use to host bands Friday and Saturday night we the brothers use to rock down most weekends there in the 70's until The Excelsior over in Settlement rd Thomastown opened they had this great southern country rock band playing fri and sat for a long time, doing Allman Bros, Doobie Bros and the like stuff long before it hit the radio in Oz, (Ive always had an ear for fresh new music its why I rally listen to the golden oldies) Over the road from the pub is the Preson market and car park wonder what its looking like today they wanted to stick  million a apartments over the top of it.

 

The demise of pub rock for the Council Club, Excelsior and the hot Northcote one I forget name of now which was the Cold Chisel stomping ground for many a long year all came to an end with poker machines, they could make the same money or more plus lower costs with 1/10th of people, you know I hate gambling and pretty peed off with the AFL making it look like its normal to throw money on teams, I became even more anti gambling when I had a job for about a month in a den refurbishment over in Ivanhoe, if you can imaging a Chinese smoking heroin den at 7 am I would walk in and there would be about 4 or 5 deadbeats cig in hand pulling a leaver with the other a god dam beer in front of them smoke in the air feeding these ratchet machines...and always at least one token woman.....who I can guarantee I would never sleep with, and this was every morning I worked there, around 10 am they the customers who have no life would begin to trickle in...

 

As a side not men, in breaking news the famous number 10 handed over to forward "Disco" Daniel Turner, now this number is not handed out lightly, looked like he could go places last year...worn previously by Andy Brayshaw, keep your eye on number 30, Harry Sharp, thank you Brisbane Lions, knows where the big sticks are recon this guy will play round one, and im getting a little excited about number 42, Aidan Johnson, mature age recruit from the VFL, got the body x2 of Clayton can move can mark can ruck and can be a forward, takes marks in packs like he's playing against the little league.

The pub is called Cramers.  Was at Preston market just last Wednesday

Several west Aussies in here will be somewhat perplexed to discover a Bullants reject flies to Perth to resurrect his career with Swan Districts, not only the mighty Toners (Preston---ton--toners, in house nick name the boys on the hill at Cramer street would call) passed on recruiting him apparently no interest at all in the VFL which use to be the VFA before the AFL did a Trump and took them over.

Its rather nice that a far flung club has decided to check out and possibly take Tarryn on to help rehabilitate him back into the community, poor guy led astray as a lad looking down the barrel of having to work as a bricks labourer for $25 an hour as against the cool million he would have got playing AFL a season, Swans District a stepping stone is how you see it, to the Eagles well Dockers are packed right now...Cheap pick up and far enough away from the big city lights over there in Perth for im guessing the Eagles in 2026 and only be 25 yet to hit his prime.

 

Im pretty sure each time Tarryn pulls out his wallet to pay for a coffee and he and sees how light it is is pretty cut up about abusing women and the already 1.5m down the drain it cost him...Give the boy a chance in the west, if Ben Cousins could do it anyone can.

 

Tip for you Tarryn, if the Swans dont pick you up look up Jordan De Geoy and ask to be put in touch with his Salvation Army mate, always good to have a man of the cloth by your side.

 

As a side note, the word out of Deeland is Clayton is tearing it up, grown another 3 inches around the chest and bulldozing....

Cramer St, is that the Preston oval next to the pub?
