The amount of ads

The amount of ads

The ads have been on the site for years and their placement hasn't changed for quite some time.

Sadly its what keeps this site alive so we all have somewhere to post

I fear there may not be a Swans board left by the end of this season. It’s been a tough year for many reasons.

And I know why

Just finished reading an interesting article on how some 50 yr old snake venom samples were found..and they’re apparently all still toxic.

I’m 2 parts fascinated and 1 part hilariously horrified.

GTG, did you survive the Super Storm that ravaged Radelaide yesterday??
From viewing the news, the place didn't look any different?

Unfortunately he's not very well and didn't arrive. Will get an update.

Adelaide has footpaths wider than some Sydney streets. I could understand it if they had the population, but no.

It’s a mystery.

It’s a mystery.

From my understading T9, it's due to all the blind umpires that reside there.
GTG can confirm.

Am on plane full of school children...this is literally my definition of hell

What's the issue with that? School kids are fine. If the teachers are any good they will be good as gold.

They were actually pretty good.

But I blame them parading around in their school uniform for making me think it was Monday!

Earlier this year we flew our kids back from Canberra. The kids were really good despite a bit of turbulence. The general public found the oohs and ahhhhhss as the plane wobbled around pretty funny. To their credit, the flight attendants wished us well for our camp and when we said we were coming back from camp they were surprised. Their response, 'usually the groups coming back from camp a feral' . That being said, this is after one of our kids decided to trip on his own feet and smashed their face on the tiles in the terminal and it looked like we were going to have to leave him and a teacher behind to catch the next flight.

As for the uniform, I don't blame them. It's easier to keep track of where each student is. We arrived back in Melbourne around 4.30pm and keeping the kids in one group was a nightmare.

I'm pretty disappointed, would have much rather seen the shot putter trying to run the final leg of the relay

Yes, it would have to be the final leg one would think.
Imagine trying to retrieve the baton off that buffalo, legs 1-3, held up around his ear - shot put style!

Was such a huge "super storm" I had to just google what it is you were talking about...

So I think that not only prefaces my answer but encapsulates my answer as well!
