Both rippers. Nothing better than being at a test live and seeing the castle fall with a key batsman involved.

Espesh 1st ball like Rhino.

Wallabies v Argies will be interesting tonite.

We're gonna get monstered.   Best t to play a territorial game take your three pointers where you can.

Centenary of Bloody Sunday Massacre at Croke Park.


Interesting story about the event and how the GAA marked it in ABC online.

Had forgotten the term "garrison games", the Irish used to describe rugby and soccer.

...which is what the wobblies did but they lost their way in the second half. Two disallowed trys sums up Australias game. Draw was probably a fair result in the end.

I really thought they might have fixed the ill discipline by now.

Congrats to Dr Kylie Moore-Gilbert (and those involved in negotiations) on her escape from Iran.

Spy on what? How many secrets can a third world Islamic shithole have?

I thought that was Iraq

Wellyou mentioned Islamic third world shitholes.  A good reason not to accept offers to visit.  At the very least not when you've published the sort of stuff she had.   Makes Little Red Riding Hood look sophisticated.  Iran's on my bucket list but alas not in my lifetime.

Iran's so far away.

There's a song in that line.. somewhere.

there's always someone to explain things that are left without explanation

Or obscure

The childish, bullying sooks that are the Chinese Govt have hit a new low. They have posted to Twitter a doctored image allegedly showing an Aussie soldier with a knife to a child's throat.

What a pack of qunts. Someone needs to wipe the smirk of Dictator Xi Jinping's smarmy face.

You sure that is doctored? The SAS murders would be in keeping with the story.

Don't get the anti Chinese sentiments. They do not invade like the seppos Poms, Us.

Can only go on various news articles saying the image was "clearly doctored".

You don't get the anti-Chinese sentiments? China has singled out Aus for economic obliteration (via economic coercion/bullying) because we are piss-ant in the World scheme of things, to get their "we are gonna rule the world" message across to the rest of the world.

Surely you don't support these Chinese bully-boy tactics, h??

Not trying to start a blue, old cock, but aren't you concerned for the future of our kids?

Tibet? And now even Bhutan a couple of weeks ago.
Right now an absolute blot on the world.

I have zero time for theocracies.

Australia has brought some of this on itself, inc Sth China Sea as well as general paranoia here about agents of influence. No doubt the USA and England have far more people in place here.

Arguably people like Abbott, who is paid by England, are agents of influence here and should be registered, with obligations on our Pollies to report any contacts with him. The same rules that apply to Chinese 'business' figures should apply to the likes of Abbott and Downer for that matter let alone Murdoch.

Australia is experiencing the economic consequences of decades of criticising China. Add in facilities like Pine Gap and it should come as no surprise they are retaliating.

Geez h, that latent Communist in you is clearly coming to the fore.

So you are saying it's all Aus's fault and the quntish Chinese are blameless?

Seriously, old cock?

Latent?   h was born with an ASIO file.
