Sorry too cryptic, Hickey

Oh, I knew who meant...

 

[Persevering Saint]

Frankly I'm not a fan of campaigner as a word, it's a bit of a boring catchphrase that gets on my **** as something unoriginal people say to be funny.

It would be good to alternate it with a different c-word every day just to stop it becoming so nauseatingly ubiquitous, but I suppose that's me just being a picky little carrot.

First "cantankerous" was used on this board today, "ubiquitous"?!

And people worry that swearing lowers people's vocabulary...

 

[Keg on legs]

Is anyone else seeing the US presidential race fast becoming a real life re-enactment of the Will Ferrell film "the campaign"?

I'm just waiting for Hillary Clinton to **** Trump's Mrs and for trump to punch a baby in the face.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Hillary giving trumps mrs one prob already happened
Well known in big circles she bats for the other side

Was always getting in
She is the higher bloodline
Called it as soon as she nominated

I have this conspiracy theory that the Republicans knew that Ted Cruz couldn't beat Hilary... so they got Trump in, to heighten the "If only there was another choice!" factor, and he's been steadily making it more and more ridiculously obvious that he can't be president... so that with a couple of weeks to go, he quits, and in walks Ted Cruz as the NEW republican candidate, rides on a massive wave of relief that he's not Donald, or Hilary, and gets voted in on a landslide.

Problem with that theory is the rules don't allow it unless trump was to die or be terminally ill or something. Now that would be a conspiracy!

The Zodiac Killer? No thank you.

Hey I'm not saying I'd vote for him. I'm just saying they could do something like that.

I'm glad i'm not American. I seriously wouldn't know whether to vote for Kang or Kodos.

I'm a huge leftie hippy and found out I'm distantly related to the Bush family and plenty of European monarchies. I'm higher bloodline but it's done me **** all good. I've been left out of he illuminated inner circle.

This from the mouth of Nick Kyrgios after admitting not trying and just giving up in his last match cos he was tired.

"That's your choice. You want to buy a ticket, come and watch me? You know I'm unpredictable. It's your choice," a defiant Kyrgios said later. "I don't owe you anything. Doesn't affect how I sleep at night."

Think its about time we stop pretending to like this kid just cos hes our best tennis player.

You pretended to like him?
Who the **** likes spoilt, overpaid, precocious adults acting like 12 year olds.

If the Australian cricket team threw a match there would be hell to pay.
This should be no different.
He needs a spanking. ( and not in a kinky castle Anthrax kind of way ).

Ive never pretended to like the spoilt twat.
But the Aussie media (especially around any Grand Slam) kiss his arse so much just cos we are desperate for some type of success on the world stage.
We dont want our sports people to be boring robots but this bloke is just an arseh*le.

Which means you are related ro Disney and the distant windsors then as its the same bloodline
In effect...you are royalty gringo

#gettheredcarpetout (Which originally symbolized the bloodline)

 

[CHBench]

Anyone here lodged a claim with Progressive Online?

I'm the not at fault driver, but pretty sure they're angling for me to pay the excess to get the claim started despite the PDS saying it's not necessary if you're not at fault. Surely they need to assess the damage and the stories to determine who's at fault, then ask for excess?

Yeah I am, I'm related to Princess Di and Churchill too. My mum did some Ancestry thing and found we had a fairly good pedigree at some point, I don't know who ****ed up but if I had a time machine someone would be in trouble. It's fairly ordinary when you look at royal heritage,a fair bit of inbreeding going on and a pretty big mix of nationalities. Lot's of absolute campaigners in my lineage too.

Beats me, I've got a chick who got deported because she stole some bread.

Secretly my sojurns to England have been to figure out how to sink it as delayed retribution. Maybe I should try Bangladesh, I hear they're doing a swell job trying their own scheme...

Only because he's ranked in the teens because for some reason the other blokes suck more arse than he does in that skillset. The sooner he tumbles down the rankings the better as there will be less of "But Hewitt was a campaigner too in his younger days" or "But Tomic hasn't crashed a car or dropped his pants this year" discussion.

Stosur can fire him out of a canon and then jump off a cliff, we can then import another foreigner to join the other "Aussie" tennis players.

Not with Progressive no, you are however correct in that if you are not at fault you do not need to pay excess, you can confer that cost to the at fault driver if you so chose to, and that yes, insurance will need to determine who is at fault and push the matter if need be. Once they determine who is at fault then excess will need to be paid to pay for repairs and etc.

Yeah I don't know anything about making a claim Fly, except that I hate the process already. It seems their PDS is trickily worded as they want you to trump up the excess to get the claim going, and will refund if you're deemed not at fault; ~therefore you don't have to pay! ~

Oh same, I just know what it feels like to be at fault despite not being at fault if you get my meaning.

Thats great news to be expanding our family mate.
Cos the gene pool was getting a little shallow out my neck of the woods

Don't blame me , I voted for Kodos.

Just a nod of respect to journalist Rebecca Wilson after her funeral today.
She was a strong opinionated sports journalist who rubbed a few people the wrong way over the yrs . Probably a Sydney version of Caro i guess. A pioneer female sports journo in a very blokey industry.
Was only 54.

She did a morning radio show in Sydney with Tony Squires for too short a time, loved it, some of her Back Page stuff annoyed me but always had respect for her.
