The great white shark of a board?

Boomer, now this!

FFS @Renton get it right. Having known someone who was involved in Prime Australia's commissioning of shows, I can tell you, that would have been the decision of some fuckhead American beancounter, who based his decision on: A. Australian comedy doing well in the US B. No imagination to make anything original because the safe bet is to remake/boot the same shite TV these days. C. They are cunts and therefore think the US Office was funny. When you work on a show generally, three or four people make the final decisions. When you work on an American network show there are so many people making decisions, a horse is designed by committee and you end up with a camel.

Is there one zero too many in that number? Touch doesn't count as football because you are not allowed to kick it, numbers listed in same stats had it around the 200k. How's the knee rehab? You kicked a ball yet?

Obviously not your dog, but have you seen the tech behind mild hybrids? Quite simple and amazed it took so long to be produced. It's just an electric motor providing a torque boost by engaging when you would use the most fuel, taking off/accelerating. They can make them with a manual gearbox. It's a 12V system with a small battery, so it won't go up like an inferno in an accident. And noneed to plug it in too charge, only for once it goes flat, you are dragging an extra 1000kg around, like with plug in hybrids, that don't have regenative capabilities.

FYP

Picked? Tsk @ewerk born in Newcastle thank you very much. Newcastle Upon Hunter! But picking Bayern is like picking Man U or Arsenal in the 90s, a cunts trick.

Fair call, still looks a dour cunt.

Yeah time don't go backward my friend. Gen X start around 1962/64 depending on where you are from, although anyone born in the 80s in Queensland is still a fucking boomer, so the early X's are now in their 60s.

Thank fuck we missed that boat, Poch is the fucking Titanic of managers.

You just know he's more a Chris De Burgh fan or loves to get the ladies up with Islands In The Stream.

It was a struggle to watch, I was a dour cunt also for those 90 minutes, well except for those two moments.

You're only a boomer because you live in Perth, shirley you're on the cusp of Gen X (nature and nurture affect what generation people are).

@Alex I had another search for what I, most likely, misremebered and I cannot find it. What I did find was this: So 1922 is way after the 1872 England V Scotland game (I never doubted you Alex). There is a lot of murky water for football here with things dating back to 1850 but fuck knows if it was round ball or an egg but it was definitely handled by more than the goal tender! Interesting that the heritage club names actually started with Northern and Scottish migrants, they definitely lost them over time and only the European heritage clubs kept them. Little known, and completely true not shite I made up(!), football is the most played sport in Australia (about 1.15M), with about 700000 playing aerial ping pong. Rugby Leagues has less than 200000 players and they are spending as much as they can to recruit people to the game.

In truth I reckon he's just one of those dour cunts who thinks he's the man. Didn't smile after we scored though did he? Sack all three and bring back Penfold/Bruce/Mclaren/Pardew - those were the days.

The soccer mum sports car, congrats.

Most DOF want their own man/person in the head coach role. Mitchell would be no different and once the rumours of Howe to the England job, you can bet he was relishing getting in "his" guy. EH probably knows he's pissed on Mitchell's chips - just look at Mitchell's face everytime the camera cut to him against Wolves.

Watching St Pauli back in the Bundesliga is like watching Ashley's Newcastle, depressing and turgid.

Has CT got there yet? I feel LTA's only problem is, they are a teenage lass with a thing for pirouetting dark men, and doesn't realise it takes more for us sad middle aged bastards to get excited.

It's the same the world over. We finally have a Labor (that's how they spell it here) government and they live in fear of doing anything meaningful re-green energy or anti fossel fuels because between the murdoch media and the rightwing cunts, they are scared of being hounded out of office. Just stand up and have some balls, do everything you know is right and people will get it but act all meek and the like and the cunts win, just because the mindless think they are the stronger ones.

BTW cunt, who you calling a boomer?!?? 😉

We have the, not often enough, FB chat and yes, checks notes, we can confirm, while we too do not wish to speak for her, she's doing alright. It's been 15 odd years since we saw her smiling face but hey, opposite sides of the world and that.

Seeing @LongTimeAdmirer has us on our best start to the season in 20 years, I would say they are making a meaningful contribution!

I think Cath is still in touch.

Because Australia is full of so many rednecks and long distances, our infrastructure for electric vehicles is fucked. Hybrids are the logical choice here for the moment, so we thought about moving the HR Holden on and went and test drove a Suzuki Swift mild hybrid. Small battery so the car doesn't weigh another 1000kg, self charging and under 30k for the top of the line. We tend to ride the bike or scooter around town, so we only need a car for longer trips and what is the point of having an expensive car bleeding money in the garage. The HR is staying for the moment but with the Swift getting 4L/100km we will probably go that way eventually.
