Well Peeps That's it for round 9. FJ continues his good form by picking 8. He gets the Cadbury Caramello bars this week. He also has stormed up the ladder to 2nd place. Until next time.

You're sitting second on the ladder. I wish we had a slump like that.

Been looking forward to this one. Follows the history of shoe salesman Sonny Vaccaro, and how he led Nike in its pursuit of the greatest athlete in the history of basketball, Michael Jordan.

Incoming: A 5000 word reply on why he's right and most everyone else is wrong. Followed by a paragraph asking what have you contributed to the forum followed by a put me on ignore sign off.

Ferdinand von Schirach - Glauben AKA The Allegation Halfway through this one and it's excellent. TPB with hard-coded subs. Summary: In the small German town of Ottern, a pediatrician diagnoses "chronic sexual abuse", while examining a young girl, setting events in motion that lead to a judicial scandal of devastating proportions.

Thanks for letting me know........

Guy Ritchie's movies are usually pretty good. Summary: During the war in Afghanistan, a local interpreter risks his own life to carry an injured sergeant across miles of gruelling terrain.

Can't believe JVR didn't get off. Reckon Melbourne will appeal it.

Well Trend Setters That's it for another round. Not that bad for West Coast. Only an 8 goal loss and lost one of our promising youngsters with an ACL. Both Ozzydom and Chooka picked the card, with Chooks winning the Snickers bars by the barest of margins. Some strange fixturing for next week. A double header on Friday night for some reason. Bring back Thursday night footy I say. Until next time.

Storyville: Attica: America’s Bloodiest Prison Uprising RAR On September 9th 1971 inmates at Attica maximum security facility in New York State rioted and seized control of the jail, taking guards hostage. When negotiations failed, the authorities stormed the prison, dropping tear gas from helicopters and firing hundreds of live rounds. At least 39 people were killed, including nine of the hostages.

What's changed is that your champions have gotten older and some of the group with premierships have probably lost 5% of their hunger. Not sure if you've been watching WC but we're no chance today.

What's sad is he will come back with a 10 000 word reply on why he's right and you're not.

Dark Water: The Murder of Shani Warren RAR Twenty-six-year-old Shani Warren was found drowned in Taplow Lake, Buckinghamshire, with her hands tied and feet bound together in 1987, with the case becoming known as that of 'the Lady in the Lake". After years of investigation that failed to find the killer, police drew a blank, leaving the family to endure many frustrating years. Then, in 2020, a forensic breakthrough by the Thames Valley Police cold case team finally revealed the terrible truth about what had happened.

Now to decide if we're going to have an 18 or 20 team competition. I hope it's the former.

I had to call Medicare a few months ago and like you, gave up after a what seemed like an hour.

I've acknowledged he messed up his dates. There's nothing childish at all in the comment, because that's what he did! It's no big deal IMO. I was just asking if he had to inform centrelink when he goes overseas, nothing more. So if you either don't want to or can't answer the question, just move on. I Don't need a lecture. You're not the mouthpiece for Centrelink.

He was in Australia when he applied. I can't see why it wouldn't be approved. Like I said, it's not a complicated application and I just assume they're busy. I can't see him changing his flights. Hopefully he hears soon.

Me as well. But he has his flights booked for himself and his Thai girlfriend who is visiting him in Oz.

He's in Oz for another week and a half. Most have government departments have an overseas contact number. I don't think its any quicker though.

Thanks. It's all done via mygov these days so I doubt he has a contact officer. Maybe wait until next week and he can give them a call if he hasn't heard.

He lodged it about a month ago. After about a week they asked for some extra information which he provided. His should be basic as apart from money in the bank, he doesn't have any other assets. I don't what the turn around time is.

A question for those on the OAP. A friend of mine has applied and is still waiting for it to be approved. He messed his dates up a bit and is moving to Thailand in a few weeks. He was hoping to get it approved before he went. Is there any requirement for him to inform Centrelink he's relocating to Thailand? I know they will know already and adjust his pension accordingly, but he wants to know if he as to advise them. He was going to let them know if it was approved whilst he was in Australia but now he's not sure if he will be there or Thailand when it's approved. TIA.

Walkers for me every day of the week.

Pretty sure it didn't win mark of the year either. He was robbed.
