We've all been watching too many reality shows.

Now we have found out that a broken mobile is actually more interesting than Big Brother.
The suspense is killing me , how will CH Bench get out of this mess.

Now there's a challenge

*stares at a blank piece of paper*

Hey, I found something else!
 
Im using the Xbox to sus out weather we have home and contents insurance. Cause you know not everyday your 17 yo daughter asks if you got home insurance just for no reason. He doesn't understand the technical specifications of things, so he won't ask how, why etc. Straight up yes/no answer. Probably doens't make sense in writing.

I've read that certain insurance policies cover water damaged items (people have had water damaged phones replaced). Just a matter of if we're covered.

I threw my wii control into the plasma and the good lads from the home + contents fixed her all up for me. Accidental breakage cover is a must have :thumbsu:

You sir are a wise, wise man.

Yeah but its also more interesting than

Cooking Idiots
Renevating Idiots
Australias biggest fatties
And farmer pretends he will marry some scrubber.

SS unloads; not happy?
While my story is epic, watching Dancing fatties in fishnets eclipses my story, in more ways than 1.

Might want to sus out English lessons while you're at it. :p

Goosey, a twist on your idea could be just getting British backpackers and the last one to be taken by a dingo wins something, gotta make sure they're all related so that we can constantly play "a dingo's got my baby!" and the prize is actually that the youngest backpacker there gets everyone's life insurance.
 
:) reminds me of a bombers player on Sunday getting tackled around the middle & throwing his head back as if shot.

Heartbeats they were racin' - Freedom he was chasin' - Spotlights, sirens, rifles firing - But he made it out ....

Nope - I can't tell the difference either.

The only difference is that Rivaldo (his opponent from Turkey who kicked the ball against his leg was actually sent off and suspended for one game as a result of Rivaldo's acting - this happened during the world cup 2002) was later punished by FIFA (albeit not with a suspension but only with the ridiculous amount of 10,000 Swiss Franc).

Funny - the missus said "geez, you'd think he'd been shot in the back" when we watched it the first time.

I ducked out of work and watched the second half again yesterday - he did it 3 times. The last time was a regulation tackle and he stayed down far too long for an AFL player (not injured, just a lazy soft prick).

I have a question, you know Darryn Lockyer, Broncos captain. Yeah why is his voice so husky? Was he wacked in the throat or something and it suddenly changed, or did he just pump out some serious testosterone? I hear him talk and feel like i need to cough up for him.

The voice box is like a covering of tiny strings, think of it like a harp with no space between the cords, when these strings get damaged or wound too tight, loose etc the tone of the voice changes. His voice is husky because he probably has some manner of damage to his voice box where instead of producing a normal sound it's straining or producing a different tone set.

Either that or his dad is the man from snowy river and has a fetish with Siberian Huskies.

Unfortunately can't answer your question chbench, but it reminds me of something I've always wondered.

Why does David Nietz, a man built like a brick shithouse, sound like his balls haven't dropped? Seriously every time I heard him speak all I could think was... seasame street, I can't imagine how hard it must have been for Demon players to have him as their captain and try and take him seriously.

btw I think I might have find a clue as to why he sounds so wierd:

Nieta in 94... not quite sure how I feel about it really.......

Is that so? Assuming you reeled that off the top of your head, and didn't wiki it. Impressive. Wouldve been cool if he was hit in the throat when he was 10, and just came home one day with a voice like that. He sounds eerily similar to this South African woman i know.

A voice Neita would envy.

Haha yeah nah no wiki on that one, there's a friend of my dad and largely a friend of the family from the footy club nicknamed Salty, his voice is rather raspy / husky as well, although not to the level of Lockyers is. Coupled with me also getting several xrays on my neck once I pulled that muscle (which perma attached my head to my shoulder, fun times that) and the doctors reeling off all the things they have to look at considering the possible structural damage trying to tell a kid that "something like a finely tuned violin is inside your throat" Coupled then as a choir boy who sang soprano (before puberty) and thus had a vocal coach as well talking about how to properly utalise it, purely out of muh noggin that was.

It's that kind of useless information that makes me appear knowledgeable and then someone will talk about music or something and I'll be "so... how's that local sports team hey?":D
 
Collingwood may be in our faces again as it marches towards what could be its first premiership in 19 years, but Eddie McGuire's assertion that all the world knows who the Magpies are may not be quite true.

Mathew Scott, who lives in Hong Kong and pens the occasional yarn for Age sport, alerted us recently to the fact that the HK Federation of Drama Societies planned to perform Australian David Williamson's famous play The Club … in Cantonese.

Scott has since found out the society has changed its version from Australian football to soccer, Scott telling us: ''I asked them why and the director said, 'Because no one in Hong Kong understands Collingwood'.''




Nor do most people in Australia!
