The Saints are lucky to have a single supporter, I can't think of a single club that's torn the hearts out of their fans like they have over the years.

Richmond has to be up there for fan loyalty.

Since the Greg and Trevor Chappell business, I've always bowled overarm.

But lob one of those black balls up as a full toss at the end of a T/20 match and see what the batsman makes of it!

Richmond has past glories to reflect on, you have to be nearly 50 years old to remember a Saints' flag.

If CB would go to church more, he would be able to recognise all the Saint's Flags..... ( Tiggs can, and he will draw them all from memory when he returns !! Beat that Dingos ).

Who can discuss ice with the summer insects?

(Chinese proverb).

An Apiarist in an igloo

An inuit at an Isaan market?

I suppose discussing ice with an Isaan fish vendor would make a similar proverb.

I was more thinking of the grasshopper and bugs vendor...

At last.

The Ozzi thread has a " Kung <deleted> " moment. My day is complete.

So if David Carradine was 'Grasshopper', who was 'Bugs Vendor'?

Darth Vador's six legged cousin.

For those of you that missed my deliberate error, I meant Vader............

So if David Carradine was 'Grasshopper', who was 'Bugs Vendor'?

In Carradine's case, wouldn't that be a noose vendor?

" How's it hanging David ' ?

" Not so good Grasshopper, I thought this wardrobe was Queen size "

" Oh the disappointment "

" Yep left on the shelf again "

I found a grasshopper hanging around in my wardrobe.

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence in Yarralumla.

One is from Canberra , another from Melbourne , and the third one is from Sydney.

All three go with a government official to examine the fence.

The Canberra contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring,

Then works out some figures with a pencil.

"Well", he says, "I figure the job will run to about $900: $400 for materials,

$400 for my crew and $100 profit for me".

The Melbourne contractor also does some measuring and figuring,

Then says "I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials,

$300 for my crew and $100 profit for me"

The Sydney contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over

To the government official and whispers "$2,700".

The government official, incredulous, says "You didn't even measure like the other guys!

How did you come up with such a high figure?'

The Sydney contractor whispers back "$1,000 for me, $1,000 for you,

And we hire the bloke from Melbourne to fix the fence".

"Done!" replies the government official.

And that, my friends, is how the new stimulus plan works.

Sounds fair to me !

Works twice, does it?

K-Rudd seems to be slipping in the polls as fast as Obama bin Ladin.

Murdoch's got a real problem, he wants to get rid of Rudd to show the power of the press (again) but even he can see Abbott can't get elected.

Murdoch's got a real problem, he wants to get rid of Rudd to show the power of the press (again) but even he can see Abbott can't get elected.

But why should this guy who moves his businesses from Oz to US worry about politics in the land he left behind?

He should be concentrating on screwing up the next US elections instead. (He failed miserably last time)

Personally, I think it's like the UK elections at the beginning of May - it's not that you vote for the candidate/party that you want, you vote for the candidate/party that are lowest on your hate list.

(By the way - an off-topic diversion to UK politics:

The Treasury Minister, appointed a week ago, resigns because he has been caught fiddling his expenses by getting HM Treasury to pay for his accommodation in his boy-friend's house.

So the government appoint a new Treasury Minister, Danny Alexander, who avoided paying capital gains tax when he sold his taxpayer-funded second home at a profit.

We expect these people to handle the billions of pounds in the government budget and not have sticky fingers?

Ha! Ha Ha!!)

Murdoch dominates the media in Australia as well as USA and Britain.

He wants to rule the world!

He moved his arse to the US and left his papers behind.

I'm surprised his house wasn't burgled, leaving that many newspapers behind, inviting trouble if you ask me. ( always but always cancel your subscription ).

I played the ad - OK, but not as good as the Malaysia ones.

When it was completed, the next video showed the scene of a fatal motor-cycle accident at Norton Summit.

Is this supposed to encourage some of the Pattaya expats to try their luck in Oz?
