    Me too !!....kudos to the PM for appologizing....no matter what one can think, but when a man with unquestionnable power does appologize, it gives him credit...sorry to the PM bashers in the house.

    Has he personally apologised?  A posting on a team facebook page (Facebook page “Prayut Chan-o-cha’s team”.) By a team member cleaning up his mess is hardly a sorry from Prayuth himself.

    Half breed?

     

    Do people still use such disgusting terms?

     

    I mean it’s bad enough that contestant’s eligibility are being questioned because of their colour, but to use a term such as you have is appalling. 

     

    Even if you were being sarcastic (and I hope you were) it’s still a foul phrase. 

     

     

     

     

    Thais do.  They call them luk khrueng and they are generally considered less important unless they are famous.

    Draft day herotiocs.......Well North behind once again...Dee's swoop and pick up Charlie....Charlie Spargo with there first pic at 29 who's dad played for you know who Fj...yep Pauls kid...was rated a first round pick before missing 2017 with a shoulder injury, 

     

    Port A who you can bet wont be going anywhere added a 4th ex Dee to there list a one Dom Barry and even i never heard of him he wont be lonely as J Watts, J Trentgrove that good VFL player and Jimmy Toumpas who looked like he would take on the world yet is still in the starting blocks 6 years later...still hasn't achieved anything are all list cloggers...well except for Watts...WILL be running around Alberton in short shorts during pre season.

     

    The Heat is on for Kevin Muscat, thrashed 4-1 in the Hunter Valley thus night and out of contract end of the year makes for a cheap sacking by the board one win from 7 outings, its pretty easy to see hes lost a few players, Milligan get a red card so early in the loss says a lot i think, he of course would get picked up pretty quickly once he was to loose his job....but who would take over...Victory i can assure you would have been working franticly too secure a replacement if old Kev couldnt turn it around...his days are numbered......

     

    Lionel Messi secures a new long term contract...with Barcelona he will now be able to pay of the Spanish dept single handedly, Barc would want to hope Catalan does not succeed in becoming a nation as they and 3 other Caitlin clubs will be on the outer of the gravy train that is the Spanish League, im sure his lawyers figured that one out, the buy out clause is over one billion dollars, not wanting a repeat of earlier this season when Paris payed out over 300 million for his buddy Neymar when they triggered his buy out clause.

     

    Not much football news....but we still have a draft to go the rookie draft....that golden hair former WCE Tom Lamb is still available Chooks...his hair would look lovely flowing in the wind in red black and white...Lindsay Thomas ex Roo cut and kicked out with a year on his contract is expected to find a home at Alberton...more toping up of dregs and one has to wonder whats going on over there....all that sea air is getting to them, to much salt is like alcohol will fry your brains...

     

    Well im glad my mum isn't alive anymore, the recent outing of sexual predators in the US and lets not forget mr tie me kangaroo down man new revelations hit the front page today in Melbourne..Don Burke named and shamed the former  channel 9 gardening guru that my mum watched religiously labeled a sexual harasser and bully....psychotic bully....a misogynist....sexual predator have all be thrown about...I loathed him, he was just a pig..said one former researcher    http://www.theage.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/a-highgrade-twisted-abuser-don-burke-a-sexual-harasser-and-bully-claims-series-of-women-20171126-gzt6d2.html   get your juices flowing early this morning...

     

    We dont have to worry about crappy battery life in our smart phones for much longer folks...Deakin Uni here in Victoria have been developing a new material that will god dam charge your phone...the gimmick that Apple has with the X where u just lay your phone on the platform is already looking like a dinosaur ...yep stick it in your jeans and the phone gets charged....might charge up your sex life to if you know what i mean...you heard it here first....

    Wouldn't mind seeing Darcy Parish's little brother picked up by the saints as a rookie.

    D day approaching.....ahh to keep us interested the AFL stretches it out so they cant be forgotten, here in football heartland cricket and tennis will never take over even in summer...

     

    So we beggin...i missed the first part but the most important team is in the second part so its ok....

     

    The Dee's apparently are loaded with inside bull mids so they say picks 29,31,36 and 57, they also state the Dee's have done the hard yards in the Draft in recent years stocking up on some impressive kids whats needed is some blistering speed from a few new mids...another Italian Stallion has been pin pointed for us by the Age team in Jack Petrucelle, has pace to burn, Stoddart and Bailey as well who are all expected to fall in the second or third rounds where the Dee's have a wealth of pics...Dee's also have been eyeing off a one Osker Baker from the Lions academy...meanwhile there also tipping they may top up with a mature age rookie ruck after the delisting of Jake Spencer.....What i know is these guys are hardly ever right once you move past the 3rd pick in the draft...but hey it makes your mouth water itching for a late march action...

     

    Hawks ravaged and savaged and behind the 8 ball O'Mera hasn't worked out Tye retired and no early pics, there midfield needs depth what surprised me this family club has decided against nominating for Brearton and Langfords sons....if these kids were just half as good as there dads you could back the Hawks in for the next 10 years...

     

    Kangaroos...after throwing everything including a solid gold kitchen sink at Josh Kelly and Dusty Martin  and came up nude then proceeded to delist a further raft of experienced players held there nerve during trade week, not much point going after experience if your not attracting anyone, opportunities will be plenty, they start with pick 4 and long being linked to Jaidyn Stepherson, also on the radar is Andy Brayshaw were pop played and uncle was chairman...

     

    Port went crazy at the supermarket picking up a few dregs and a highly respect Rockcliff, all will be brought undone come september when they falter once more, there first pick will be 46, improvement will need to come from within as there is little rocket fuel in the tank apart for Rocketcliff...

     

    Tigers pick 17 sitting pretty dont have to prove a thing, im tipping the tigers will do a 1980 and revert back to gonna bees the hangover will continue all year which will delight Melbourne newspapers as its worth a whole page 3 times a week with whats happened plus a surgical player by player analysis concluding whats needed etc etc...Anyway they have 3 picks in the top 25 it could also mean they will actually build a further solid base and stay in contention.

     

    Ahh the team that is going to be but never quite gets there the Saints, 7,8 34 and 45....ummm 2 inside the top 10 another Paddy? The brother Tom is available Chooks...With a blue collar mid are looking for some inside grunt several classy kids in the draft have been mentioned one from seaford just around the corner from there training base is high on the watch list....already coming off 2 knee reconstructions...warning warning WILL Robinson....

     

    Swans 14, 33, 51 and 84....i mean at 84 what can you get? a box of empty rice bubbles is what you get....seems they need tall forwards well they dont come ready made and i do believe Jack Watts would have been excellent for the Swans who have a good record of bring out the best in people, the Swans dont need much just a bit if dazzle here and some star dust there and there all ready to go....

     

    WCE...new emblem alone will add some much spirited fight 13, 21, 26, 32, 37, 69, 83....will be battling with the Dee's for a raft of half decent mids 83 will be an empty packet of pop corn, topping up didnt work so its back to the draft, Eagle eyes are on Victorian gun turned something to mid Hunter Clark with a name like that he could not have originated from Vic...Oscar Allen is also being eyed off....my god Hunter, Oscar sound like something from a adult movie...wpont ay the type....

     

    In the news today Johnny Barnes is leading a push to sue the AFL with relations to the effects of concussion post retirement, seems life is going downwards for him the former Cat and Bomber was 

     diagnosed with epilepsy five years ago and has experienced increased memory loss and anger issues. The 48-year-old believes all of those conditions could be linked to his playing days.

    "It's turned my life upside down ... I'm not the same bloke I used to be," Barnes said.

     

    "I know things are changing in my mind and I want answers." 3 broken jaws an concused at least half a dozen times...Leads to an interesting time...in the USA a former Gridiron player who committed sucide in prison after found guilty of murder was found to have jelly for a brain that far excedded his age...still in his 20's and a top line player they now think that rattling affect of all those tackles lead to his demise...what to do what to do?

     

    Amazon has a soft launch in Australia...who cares?  not me....though easy credit and the ease of shopping online.....well sim sala bin...

     

    Fj's boy Glen in that never ending merry go round of punching the ump was it? no it was the runner at his sons footy game mid season will appeal his conviction and why not? if the conviction stands he would have to step down from the board...at the kangaroos, the excuse is he received bad legal advice....

     

    Nic made it to early pre season training...and who was saying he'd be ready by mid season last year? who thought he would have an impact during the finals? wasn't me, lot of ham and cheese there another empty packet of corn flakes very few get back quickly from an injury like his ....

     

    Us puritans can rest in peace....the AFL in there infinite wisdom WILL keep the bounce down until a wet winter changes everything again....

     

    No more news on the Apple iPhone X but....3 or is it the 4th update has my phone almost normal again...not that nokia owners care....or owners of second hand broken down tabs would even want to know about...no murmurings from Fj and there was a report of a missile launch from some desert deep in Thailands north heading kinda NE a Chinese super duper jet intercepted it...

     

    Well the Socceroos fell over the line and qualified for the world cup...means millions of course...the Italians fell out and there will be a lot of cheap italian cars for sale from now on...not wise to buy one as spare parts will  be made in North Korea...and you know...Trump is itching to invade...so the parts cost will X10 ....Ange gave us the relief and retired thank god, got to big for his job though i did notice he went back to a 4 man defence in the last few games...i rest my case..

     

    Tom McCartin was over looked, no surprises there, what team would want a McCartin.  Saints did o.k with 4 local boys all were all Australian last year so let's see how they turn out.  Having said that McCartin was under 18 all Australian also and look what a dud he turned out to be.  Rookie draft on Monday so hoping the saints can find another Milne

    Curious about what constitutes "...a huge amount of military weapons..." Maybe a quibble, but I think of the M-16 as an automatic rifle, not a machine gun per se. 1,000 rounds of ammo is not that impressive either, for anyone accustomed to US gun culture.
    One does wonder why a tour guide would require these items, though.
    Just where are they taking people? Are Van Damme and Seagal associated with these tours?

     

    I guess for your average American that cache would be for a 5 year old and perfectly acceptable under their Rediculous gun laws

    Perhaps the results have already been determined.  After all, we have been repeatedly assured that there is no risk of pollution.

    Maybe.  It would be nice tho if these thai university scientists documented things at the scene not just grabbing a bucket of water and wandering back.  Take same samples, seal the containers, log them, do prelims at the scene on their data base.  Where is the continuity of the sample.  A bucket of water in the back of a pickup.  This is going to international arbritration and the thai defence will be we got a bucket of water?  The company legal team will take them to the cleaners before smoko
