funny to think nowadays that the Brisbane Broncos seeking a NSWRL license was in a sense an immediate reaction to the Brisbane Bears securing a place in the VFL. Bears also played during the Joh Bjelke-Petersen era whilst the Broncos didn’t debut until after he’d resigned from politics. Either way, ended up leading to 9 premierships within two decades between them (inc. super league).

I call BS on this one... there are three entries from Paris alone, two from NY, two from the Vatican, two from Spain. A short trip to Europe would get you more than five. Anyway, I had 14.

I recon if anything the average would be lower. Most of the world is too poor to travel very far at all

Most people have 'sliding doors' moments in their lives - but possibly not as much as this lady. In Brooklyn, New York in the late 1940s, a pretty Italian-American girl named Louise Brigante was dating a young up-and-coming singer, but ultimately this relationship didn't lead to marriage and Louise instead would marry a handsome and dashing Italian-American young man.

Who was the singer? He was Mel Torme, and he had a long, successful career as an entertainer until his death in 1999. Who was the young man Louise married? His name was Ronald De Feo, and while he had a good career as a businessman in the car industry, at home problems arose when strict authoritarian Ronald Senior and his eldest son Ronald Junior had a personality clash. Personality clash is probably underselling it - the son hated his father, and the father hated his son - and disputes between the two would often turn to open war.

Things were bad enough when the family lived in Brooklyn, but only got worse in the mid 1960s when they moved to Long Island's South Shore and to an attractive six-bedroom Dutch Colonial house (the couple had two daughters and two other sons besides Ronald Junior) in the pretty town of Amityville. There things completely deteriorated, and the despairing, long-suffering Louise often found herself in the middle of the disputes caused by the antics of her lazy, out-of-control eldest son and the great anger it caused his stentorian father. Apparently there were also tensions between eldest daughter Dawn and her father, but details on this are lacking.

Had Lousie married Mel Torme she would have been part of a famous family, but when she married Ronald De Feo she would have no idea that her family would become infamous. With the situation in the house at breaking point, one rainy night in November 1974 Ronald Junior took a high-powered rifle and shot to death his father, mother, two brothers and two sisters.

Ronald Defeo Junior's story of what happened changed many times over the years and the situation was further clouded by the next family to live there fleeing the house in terror claiming it to be haunted. Ronald Junior took the secrets of what really went on that strange and violent night to his grave when he died in prison in 2021.
