There can be only one...
I'm an arsehole.

*knock knock knock*
Me: <Open the door, see an old man standing there with books and leaflets.>
Me: "Oh **** me..."
Man: "I'm from the Jehovahs Witnesses"...<cut him off>
Me: "Hey, chosen one, does god let people in who can't read?"
Me: <points to the sign on the door saying do not knock>
Man: <mumbles something incoherent while waving leaflets>
Me: "I worship Satan."
Man: <mumbles something incoherent>
Me: "I have to go, Lucifer is on the crazy phone."
Me: <slams door behind me chanting to Satan loudly>
Man: <mumbles and waves his leaflets as he walks off>

It is amazing he lived as long as he did with that condition.
I agree. A miracle - it felt like he deteriorated quite rapidly but then it stopped and froze in time for decades.
Oh shit. RIP Stephen Hawking.
Terrible news. It looks like i might be the world's smartest Stephen now. In honour of him I will carry the general theory of relativity and solve this multiverse conundrum. Purely for selfish reasons because I'm sure North Melbourne were 2017 premiers on another planet. Once i track those players down I'll bring them back with me. Not Goldstein - i don't think he has toughness on any planet he plays on.

No bites re the Utah 'culture' GG.

Disappointing.

It's absolutely incredible he lived as long as he did.

I believe the diagnosis to fatality time frame for ALS/MND is something like 3-5 years.

The guy was not expected to live past his 25th birthday.

Instead he goes on and becomes one of the worlds most renowned physicists and scientists and will go down as one of the big names in science history. From his studies on gravitation to his theories on black holes to his work on string theory, he's done a hell of a lot for the scientific field.

Vale Hawking, an incredible man.

Reckon he will be posthumously knighted? He refused the honour in life

There's those out there who believe he passed away years ago and was replaced with an actor.

I shit you not.

I am not young and I read today that Hawking was given two years to live the year I was born. Amazing.

The amount of coverage this is getting is wild. Maybe this is more about me (a fellow public pleb), but I honestly have not met a single person who cares.
My kids go on the same trains and trams as lots of Trinity boys to a nearby school. A colleague with a kid at the same nearby school and I were having a chuckle today that finally it was a school other than ours in all the news and imploding.

Other than that, I’m as mystified as you are.

Other issues also handled badly by the current administration R. Z. Been building l think. They built a chapel on the main senior oval a few years back. Would have been a revolution if they did that while l was there.

Believe club connection stems back to Ron Joseph being an old boy many, many years ago.

I was a boy from the wrong side of the tracks ( Broady ) who had a scholarship there.
