Is it one of the really early ones like Tom Horan?

by Brass Monkey Thu 21 Feb 2008, 13:16

Wahey... Tom Garrett.

by Brass Monkey Thu 21 Feb 2008, 13:17

Looking through... can you name two more internationals who come from Wollongong?

Well done, Danny!

So three players from the Gong. One played in Australia's first ever test & the other two in Australia's last ever test. You know, the one before the great uprising of 2008.

Yeah, one more....

Looks like Dave Gregory as well. My database had him down as born in Fairy Meadow but it seems that is near Wollongong or a suburb. That would make 2 in the first test & 2 in the last test.

OK - had to cheat but it was a trick question and I guess you could include chicks as well.

Anyway, I think you're after Trent Johnson.

If Dave was born there, how about his brother Ned?

Interesting, in looking at Dave Gregory I found reference to this incident which I had only a vague knowledge of. Amazing that Edmund Barton was one of the umpires:

Got mixed views about planners. They saved my favourite pub from being turned into offices. On the other hand they have well and truly rogered our neighbours over a loft conversion.

As good as any thread.

Saw on ABC news this arvo that the video below has gone viral due to it's alleged "satisfying" nature. Road building in Moora Shire Council (Wozzie).

Can only assume it was in an arid 'dustbowl' region. A road laid like that in Tassie would'nt last six months.

Well we recently got our DA through council in a few weeks with no amendments required.

FFS (this quote was from 9 years ago as opposed to my previous post 9 seconds ago).

Clearly I haven't emotionally matured in almost a decade.
