    2014/15 NHL Regular Season Thread

    Thought we should get this started. Laughs and Habs with a good game so far. Kozun looks like a good un. And Percy isn't bad either.

    Just a heads up for all those who signed up for GCL last season because of the special lockout offer they gave us. There is an auto renewal check box on your account which is default set at checked. If you do not want to auto renew your GCL, go to your billing info and uncheck the box. I...

    Playing For Another Country

    Growing up, I wanted to play cricket for Australia. I was never going to be good enough, but as with a lot of kids growing up watching their heroes out on the Adelaide Oval (or whatever your local ground happens to be) I dreamed of one day being out there. I also have British citizenship...

    Society/Culture Oprah v The "Racist" Shop Assistant.

    I am sure we have all seen the recent news about Oprah being the victim of a racist Italian shop assistant in an upmarket designer fashion shop in Switzerland. However, nowhere in Oprah's story is there a shred of evidence that this was indeed a racially motivated incident. Oprah went into...

    1st Ashes Test: Umpires, Walking and the DRS

    Just on the Broad not walking issue - how hard was it when you were playing backyard or street cricket to accept you were out when you got a slight nick on the ball and everyone went up (especially when it was automatic wickey) and how hard did you fight them to stay in? Now go to the most...

    Society/Culture The Homophobia Dichotomy

    This will incite a large debate (not that we already are not smack dab in the middle of one that goes round and round in circles already) but I feel it needs to be said and indeed discussed. Increasingly in the last few years we have been witness to a fairly aggressive, militant, minority...

    England Cheating Again?

    In the current ODI match between England and the West Indies, England bowler Graham Swann went off to the dressing room and was seen talking to coach Flower and then returning to the field and immediately relaying a message to Alistair Cook who then went to bowler Stuart Broad and started...

    Society/Culture The Flamboyant Gay Male

    Can someone please tell me why this subset of the homosexual community has become so prevalent in our society and yet the dichotomy of their existence has not been questioned. Let me put forward these observations... The fashion industry has been inundated and somewhat run by gay males for...

    The Law Is Hinch right in doing the wrong thing?

    He's done it before and he has done it again. Hinch has defied a court imposed suppression order of the identity of a "prominent Sydney property developer" who was convicted of a sexual assault against his then 11 year old step daughter and named him on his radio program. The transcript of the...

    Computers & Internet Come On Casino

    What happened to the Come On caper? Not reaping the rewards that Chief thought it would or did it finally dawn on him that it's illegal to promote a gambling site on a forum with minors registered on it? Seemed like a pretty stupid thing to do in the first place. Good thing that sanity has...

    FTA-TV House Cancelled

    Apparently this will be the last season of House. The last episode will air in May in America. Hugh was in the last year of his contract anyway and I think the writing was on the wall that it was coming to the end of its life. Good show, sad to see it go. But at least they knew when to get...

    NRL Arthur Beetson Dies

    Just heard on the cricket telecast that League legend Arthur Beetson has died aged 66 on the Gold Coast. Larger than life character. Will be missed.

    Massive IndyCar Crash

    The final race of the Indycar series at Las Vegas has been marred by a massive crash involving 15 cars. Will Power was involved and therefore has lost the title. Franchitti wins. Most importantly though is the health of Dan Wheldon. Taken to hospital in a helicopter. -Oswhp3OSjs...

    Feedback A Site Rules update?

    I think maybe an update to the site rules is needed on the FAQ section because clearly the rules and the infraction penalties listed are either outdated or are being ignored by mods in favour of their own punishments. Specifically... 2 Keep it clean. Lots of people, from kids to...

    Airline Seating

    In my travels around the internet looking for info fo my upcoming trip to Europe, one thing keeps cropping up. To recline your seat or not. It's one of the most polarising questions about plane travel. Some people say that they have paid for their seat and their seat reclines so it is their...

    Science/Environment The Big Bang Theory and Evolution

    For years we have been informed by our intellectual betters and atheists alike that science has concluded the most logical way our universe was created was with "A big bang" and that life on this planet is from Evolution. But both of these ideas are theories and as ironic as it sounds, are an...

    Society & Culture Am I A Bad Guy?

    GD, let me tell you a story. I am currently selling my house. During the process of selecting a real estate agent, I interviewed about 6 of them before settling on the one I thought was best for me. One of his main selling points was a guarantee that if at any time I was unhappy or...

    The Advantage Rule - If it's broken the AFL can still break it more.

    The advantage rule has always been confusing. Sometimes the umps would let you have advantage, even if it looked a long time after the whistle and other times they wouldn't even when it was one continuous movement. The rule was clearly confusing and broken. So the AFL decided to let the...

    Sportingbet Free Bet Error?

    I just checked on my account and I have in my summary in the top corner, $200 in Free Bets. But when i clicked on them, it said I have no free bets. So I went back to my main page and the free bets are still there. But I can't access them. Now, just to be clear, I have no idea why they are...

    Society/Culture The Noisy Minority

    I am sure I will be attacked mercilessly for what I am about to say and in some ways it will prove my point, but here goes. The civil libertarians, the advocates for social change, the advocates for boat people, the advocates for racial equality and freedom to do what they want, the advocates...

    Discussion Farren Ray - Careless or Unlucky?

    We all know that Ray was reported last night for his hit on the apparently untouchable Selwood, but was it malicious, careless or just plain football? Both players went at the ball, head down and head on. Farren saw that he was going to be beaten to the ball, but he only realised that just at...
