Well I've finally made it, 1000 posts woohoo!
For a bloke that lives up here in the Darling Downs, getting information
from the ITK's, helps greatly and "Keeps the Dream Alive"
Getting some of the idiotic suggestions, puts a smile on me dial.
Then reading some of the banter between a few of you, makes me feel
as if I'm in the same room as you.
This truly is a great site for us out of towners and each and everyone
of you supporters are a great bunch of guys & gals.
So thanks for posting what you do and listening to some of my posts
as I head towards my next 1000.

For a bloke that lives up here in the Darling Downs...

Is that you, KR? [emoji41]

I'm trying to compile a Best XI of current Test cricketers who you generally consider to be extraordinary ******s, but I'm a bit stuck...

Warner
Kohli (c)
Samuels
Wade (wk)
Stokes
Starc
Broad
Anderson

Is the team so far, but it has to be workable; Ishant Sharma misses out behind the pace battery of Anderson, Starc and Broad for example, du Plessis may be a cheat but doesn't strike me as a true ******, and Glenn Maxwell isn't really a genuine Test cricketer.

Mitch Marsh also misses cos it's not his fault he's an undeserving gumby.

So, who have I missed?

I'd actually remove Starc and put in Amir, after all, he did get done with the Butt for fixing a match and Starc has mellowed a bit since shaking up with Healys daughter.

So you have Warner and his Oled, missing a spinner and Harbijhan still rolls the arm over, last did v Bangladesh in '16 and we all know of his Ape comments with Symonds.

Batting wise depends if you're of the opinion that Twenty20 counts as Pietersen is still playing and he's a bit of a knob in his England ays, as is Gayle and his "I'm gonna go home and get me some strippers to dance on my pole" in certain circles to add to bats if you like.

Test only, so KP et al are out, and Starc is still a world class assbucket so he stays.

Samuels was going to 'bowl' his spin, but Harbajan is in with a bullet.

So, who have I missed?

Is Kohli that bad? I only watch half a day of each test these days, too busy and my 3yo daughter hates me watching cricket. He seems an awesome player. Not a good guy tho? I couldn't stand Haddin but he's gone now. Never liked Broad or even Anderson.

Great player. Absolute anus of a bloke.

I'm not sure about that. I'd bet he's a great bloke off field, but once he crosses that white line (or rope I guess) it's not about being nice

I can't stand Dhoni. he's the Indian that pisses me off most. mostly cos of the way he appeals. annoying as ****

Peeps I want to update my avatar to a GIF but the ones I've found are too big so I cant upload. Does anyone know how to reduce the size of a gif? Full disclosure - there are a couple of ripping Red Dwarf gifs that I want to use but they're all too big. I'll attach them below in case anyone knows how to do this. Thanks in advance!! My preference is in order of posting:

[Ekomaira]

Yeah just saw news. Young children run over as well.
Heartbreaking stuff to hear

It is just terrible what is happening in my hometown.

Posting here what I put on Facebook. I dont normally post stuff like this but enough is enough:

'When will Victorian Police and the Labour Government realise that they are losing the battle on crime? It is disgusting what is going on in Melbourne currently with all the violence. When will the government own up that they have got it terribly wrong? I think they are more interested in pinging drivers for being 5 km over the speed limit rather than deploying police on more serious issues like the proliferation of ICE in our community. No wonder the Donald Trumps of this world got into power. Our country has been and is being run by absolute idiots for the last 25 years.'

 

[CALL ME SNAKE]

I dont know if it was a case of mental illness??.
But if this was because he was on drugs just hang the f-ing campaigner .
He ran over prams and families with young children.

Except that violent crimes have been on a downward trend for the last decade despite population growth?
http://aic.gov.au/publications/current series/facts/1-20/2013/1_recorded.html

Yes over the last couple of months there has been a decent spike in it all but its disingenuous to claim that as "how terrible its all become" when the stats just dont how that at all really.

mental illness is not an excuse. this man has to be dealt with. he's a child murderer

I hope everyone here is safe and well

We are losing the battle on ICE though, things are out of control on that front. It's naive IMO to think otherwise. Oh and I have little faith in stats like that.....lets talk about APEX shall we?
