    Oil No More

    I'm sure the Ogoni people of Nigeria would heartily endorse the positive influence oil companies like Shell have when they have brought their "technology" in to "help" these poor countries realise their untapped resources. - Shell gets rich - A select few locals and government officials get...

    Salary question

    Very doubtful. "Hi, I'm from XYZ Pty Ltd, and John Smith of your firm is currently going behind your back to get a job with us and could you please just disclose over the telephone his exact salary package, and breach your responsibilities to him under the Privacy Act, to help us ensure we...

    Can anyone remember what a ruckman is???

    Reading that stats in today's paper. Port won the hitouts 40 to 24. Fraser had 14 hitouts - and not a single one of them was to advantage. 4% of our total hitouts for the game (ie. 1 hit out) was to our advantage and that was Richards. Pity WCE don't have a ruckman named Chad. Might be...

    Some of our supporters are morons

    That attitude pi$$e$ me right off. Firstly - I'm not a member. I play footy on weekends and I also study along with working full-time, so if I go to four games a year I'd be lucky. That doesn't make me any less of a supporter than those who do purchase a membership. If that's how they choose...

    Dal Santo to Collingwood???

    So pick up a ruckman from the VFL or a discard from another club - it won't make our ruck stocks any worse than they are now. I would rather have some tall spud jumping into blokes with Dal Santo at his feet, that have Fraser jumping vaguely in the same area as the opposing ruckman while our...

    Dal Santo to Collingwood???

    I would happily give them Fraser and Davis. And maybe a draft pick if required. Time to stop overrating our average players. Those two won't take us anywhere. I'd be amazed if St Kilda were stupid enough to do it, but that would be my offer.

    Melbourne International Comedy Festival-2007

    Saw them at Gasworks in South Melb before Christmas - absolute cracker. If you want to see an up and coming act these guys are worth the investment. I've got tickets to the gala, and would like to see Corinne Grant...

    How many people on here actually have a girlfriend?

    I've figured out why you don't have a girlfriend.

    Child Beauty Pageants at Primary School

    Run a pageant. Fill it with the most, ugly, demented, unfortunate, acne-riddled, overweight sloths you can find. Then, when announcing the prizes, rank the American's daughter stone motherless last. And tell her that. In front of the whole crowd. That's she ugly and will have to have to...

    Australian World Cup Squad - Announced - Discuss

    Find me the post where someone has stated that please. I just don't think there is a need for a spinner in the Caribbean at all. I'd rather have an extra bat, and get the ten overs out of a few part-timers if required. Especially with the postage stamp sized grounds over there. Personally I...

    Australian World Cup Squad - Announced - Discuss

    Hogg is Australia's Ashley Giles. I think the biggest mistake is batting Watson at 7 (if that's what ends up happening). They either have to open with Watson and Hayden, and bat Gilchrist at 7, or get rid of either Watson/Hayden so that the 7 spot can be filled by Haddin/Symonds. You...

    Brad Haddin

    I'm not sure why we need a reserve wicket-keeper? Correct me if I'm wrong, but if a player is injured during the tournament, they can be replaced in the squad by another player? Fine if they pick Haddin because they think he's a good enough bat in his own right, but I don't see the "backup...

    Favorite Rocky Movie

    I know I'm very much in the minority but I liked Rocky V. Contains one of my favourite movie lines ever. "But Tommy, I ain't no manager. I was always the managed...... guy."

    If An Elderly Person Was Standing would u give up your seat ??

    Sitting on a row of three seats, in the aisle seat. Two seats beside you are vacant (window seat and middle seat). Someone gets on and wants to sit in your row and asks you to move over. Yes/No? My personal point of view is no - if I get on the train earlier and snare an aisle seat (and the...

    Smacking Kids: Is It Really Abuse? Or Does It Help Them Learn?

    My parents smacked me and I'm "great people" too. I know plenty of kids that were smacked, and plenty that weren't, all of whom are great people. Why does one method have to be a no no, just because it's different from what worked for you?
