Adelaide is the place to be again in January if you ride a bike and/or are passionate about cycling. Tour base well underway in the revamped Victoria Square and a handful of pro riders already in town. I saw three Team Sky guys coming down the Old Freeway this morning and saw a lone BMC rider in...
Had a look at the thread in the SRP forum about the riots in the Ukraine and it was getting a little too in-depth and opinionated for me so thought I would start one in GD to keep track of the events.
Some incredible (and perhaps slightly disturbing - be warned) photos of the riots in Kiev...
I don't eat out at the Colonel's restaurant very often but when I have I've found that it turns my gut into a cauldron of bubbling shit. Surely this has to be the definition of post-purchase dissonance. Does KFC have anything on their menu that will not destroy your bowels?
What song/sound do you use to pull yourself from your wet dreams and start the day?
My three most recent alarms are:
One of the standard ringtones on my old Nokia (only recently upgraded)
Embody by Sebastian. Super smooth song which I really enjoyed waking up to.
The theme song from Billy...
Good people of Bigfooty welcome to the greatest thread of the London Olympics. This thread was nearly derailed when the Polish women's volleyball team failed to qualify for the Olympics but the show must go on. I'll kick us off with one of the stars of the 2008 games Dutch hockey player Ellen Hoog.
Who is the player that you always love to play with on basketball computer games (whether it's NBA Jam, NBA Live, 2k etc.)?
Of all of the games I've played Kevin Garnett is the man.
He always has a crazy scoring arsenal around the hoop and his mid-range jump-shot is automatic.
If you need...
I've played numerous sports (footy, soccer, cricket, tennis), have finished a marathon and been on numerous 10km+ runs and have completed numerous 60km+ rides over my sporting career (around 14 years). On the weekend, for the first time ever, I hit the wall. Here's what happened:
Decided to go...
I'm relatively new to the NBA so here is my favourite NBA moment:
5JBkO-Dyuis
The crowds reaction (everybody going up as one) and the commentating is just perfect. If I had to explain to somebody why I love the NBA I would show them this video.
My second favourite moment is:

So I recently went on a roadtrip with a hired car with a friend in Europe.
Now I didn't drive the car so is it fair that we split the bill 50/50? How much of a hire car cost is insurance?
Didn't want to start a new thread but couldn't find the random question thread.
I'm sure many BF users have stayed in hostels around the world. What has been your best/worst hostel experience? Any hostels you would recommend?
My worst experience came recently in Amsterdam. Stayed in a large hostel on a friday night in december in Amsterdam. I was travelling alone and it...
I'm going to be working at a new local supermarket as a stock filler when it opens in a few weeks.
I have done a few shifts at another supermarket to get up to speed on the job. The only thing I've done during these shifts is take the boxes of stock off the top of the shelves and distribute the...
Title meant to say Brian Scalabrine of course (mods???)
Can play the game for a rednut:

But really does his best work off the court:

Any recipes for quality home-made garlic bread to share?
My username may be Crazyman, but I'm not crazy in saying garlic bread is the food of the gods.
Come on, who's done one (or many). Nothing feels better than the freedom of running around with your gear off.
Surely there has to be some ripper stories.
I have a single bed and I sleep with three pillows. One is a large homemade firm foamy rectangular pillow (just a piece of foam). Sitting on top of this is a regulation pillow with the third pillow (also regulation) alternating between being on top of the foam pillow and the second pillow...
Got done for 'possessing alcohol in a dry zone' at schoolies in Victor ($190 fine). Got the expiation notice a few weeks later. Then another week later I get a letter saying there was a 'clerical error' in the first expiation notice and that it had to be withdrawn and a new notice issued...
By leaving him free the whole night.
Wonder who the brainchild behind that theory was? Probably the same person who let Jimmy Bartel run free for 41 possessions in round 14 last year.
Forget the flood, zoning, the cluster, operation tackle, Adelaide have given the AFL world an idea of how...
A common problem I have is that I'm not to worried about the future I'm more worried about the present. I'm sure there are lots of people who are like this. Would you rather be given $30 right now, or wait a fortnight and be given $50?
With the Australian Tennis Season well underway all of my irks about Professional Tennis have returned. Here are a few:
Players who don't take two balls from the ball boys to serve, hence if they miss their first serve they must turn around and collect another ball. Just annoying, happens more...
Anybody know where you can buy stadium horns like the ones above in Australia (specifically Adelaide). I haven't had much luck online, am I best looking in novelty stores?
A few weeks ago I copped a ripper of a corkie just above my knee playing footy. It instantly tightened/swelled up and I had real trouble putting pressure on it for a quarter. I managed to play out the game and I iced up afterwards. The first couple of days I could really put no pressure on the...
According to Seven News in Adelaide, Chad has been booked into surgery this week and his season is over.
Those who have kept him, who are you looking at??
Without checking prices, I'm considering A.Walker, C.Johnson and A.Mackie as my main options.
Will probably all require a downgrade...
Just wondering who everyone thinks is/are the most team-oriented player currently on Port's list.
Who's the guy who sprints 50 metres to cut off a pass to the dangerous full-forward just to help out the full-back.
Who's the guy who works extra hard to nail the tackle or smother the kick...
With the lack of options available in defence this year I was wondering what everyone's opinion of Andrew Mackie was. Scores this year of 60, 73, 76, 137 and 97 which gives him an average of 88.6 which puts him as the 4th best averaging defender (behind Cornes, Shaw and King). In 2007 averaged...
Just having a go at hosting my own online radio station. Be nice if people could jump on http://crazyman27.listen2myradio.com and take a look. Mainly to see if it's working, although it wont be online that much. I'll mainly be playing rock, alternative, hip-hop and a bit of pop (sort of like...
Just need some advice on putting on some weight.
I'm 16, average height and around 57kg (very thin) and in the last 6 months or so I've sort of been flat-lining as far as weight gain goes. I've just started playing footy and I'm definately one of the smaller guys and I have started lifting a...
