    Travel USA travel tips and tricks

    I stopped in Albuquerque for a couple of nights, and I enjoyed it. I wasn't out late into the night, but didn't have any problems after dark. If you're worried, you might try Santa Fe. It seems to have a better reputation than ABQ. The catch will be that you probably have a 1 hour deviation off...

    Who presents the cup to Fremantle if they salute?

    I would like to see it be someone with an association to FFC. Clive is the obvious answer there. Second choice would be a WAFL champion with some association to Fremantle. I'd like Stephen Michael, but my recollection is that Clem Michael was not too happy with FFC when he left, so I don't...

    MRP / Trib. Crowley guilty of Pinching

    Good on Crowley and the club for forcing the issue. If the system is going to be that reports can be made based on a player whinging plus a "probability" then it's better that we know it now. Or there's always the possibility that the MRP will see sense. That is the historical incident I was...

    Universal Love I <3 the Media - snippets thread

    On the general theme of quality journalism, last night's Melbourne mX told us that there are rumblings at Melbourne, and that Mark Neeld was under pressure "... after Sunday's 90-point demolition at the hands of West Coast ... " Presumably Woosha decided a game against Melbourne would hit the...

    Your 2nd Favorite Club & Most hated Club

    I don't know about 2nd favourite, but I like to see the following clubs doing well: Footscray, because they wear the West Perth colours (mostly) and they're not Melbourne, and Gold Coast because they're still new Hate: West Coast, Port, Hawthorn

    Who would you pick to take a kick after the siren?

    My first thought whenever I hear a question like this one is the following quote: But given that Mrs Commetti is not a part of the team, I'd still be happiest with Fyfe, with Pav having a quiet word in his ear beforehand to calm the nerves.

    Worse Loss I can remember

    Saw all three of these games in the flesh. In particular, the round 22 Melbourne game, I remember Jeff Farmer kicking 6 against us, and even after years of service to the club, in my heart I could never quite forgive him for that day. Now I can add the Hawthorn last quarter to the list...

    Membership packs..... Where are they?

    I got my second membership pack yesterday too. I thought I was special till I saw all the other posts here. :) It's good that the club is doing something to make us Vic-based members feel special. It'd be even better if I believed that it was deliberate.

    Your most memorable Fremantle Football Club game

    Most have been mentioned already, but I'll have my 2c. Memorable wins: - 2001 vs Hawthorn for the first win of the season in Round 17. What sticks in my mind is a young fella called Grover who held the Hawks off every time they looked like they might get back into it. - 2006 vs Melbourne...

    To find out where the exchange is, try this site: http://www.adsl2exchanges.com.au/ Enter your address, and it will show a map, and give a (straight line) distance to the exchange. I don't know how exact it is, but it should give an idea.

    Tazza - gary lyon thinks we should trade for picks

    It's pretty obvious that he hasn't given any serious thought to what's in it for us, only how good it would be for a Victorian club to get hold of Tarrant. Tarrant + pick 20 = pick 12 is just garbage. Tarrant = pick 12 I'd consider, if the club is really keen to get hold of more draft picks OR...

    FTA-TV ABC Tv as a kid - memories.

    Some from my day that haven't been mentioned: The Alexander Bunyip Show Watch This Space - with the talking house that may or may not have been a spaceship Secret Squirrel - was he part of the Atom Ant show though? The Beachcombers - with Nick Adonidas Starblazers - Japanese anime where a...

    Eurovision - anyone watching?

    Wogan wasn't doing Eurovision at all this year. I believe he has retired from it. So unlike previous attempts by SBS to mess with the formula, they didn't have much choice but to do something different this year. Julia and the Dropkick weren't too bad, definitely they were much better than...

    Bad accents

    It's a fairly minor role, but Jack Thompson's (allegedly American) general in Broken Arrow has the most amazing accent I've ever heard. I like to think that it's Jack getting one back for all the times we Aussies have had to listen to Americans butchering our accent, but the reality is...

    Favourite tv catchphrase

    One that maybe doesn't count as a catchphrase, but that I love: "You might very well think that, I couldn't possibly comment." And a couple that definitely count: "The same thing we do every night Pinky. Try to take over the world of course." "Money on the fridge, wog."
