I got 5 catties on Wednesday:p - then threw them back:oops:
my son and i have just taken up fishing, pity he wasn't out there tonight he's going to be upset he didn't see his ol dad pull this monster in (wasn't really that big). Glad you put your catches back seeing as they are a protected species.

I must admit they were fairly small, but I also found a great new spot for catching bream, they're crap to fillet but taste very good!

i just got back from Vegas and i'd hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist but i highly doubt that his death was accidental. There is no way for anyone to access the rooftop of the hotel (they cannot even go up the elevators at the Flamingo without a room key). I dont care if the police checked CCTV footage from the hotel because all the casino security appeared to be shifty anyway. Vegas is truly a sin city infested with hustlers and scam artists, if Jmac was staying at the Hard Rock (same hotel we stayed at) how did he end up at the Flamingo(a 10 min drive away) and gain access to a roof top with no room card at 5am in the morning? And where were his team mates? The story doesn't make sense.

Thanks for our thoughts, but I will take it from the experts, who get real information, not from someone just snooping around.
Did you ask to see footage??? How would ou know if security footage is dodgy?

By the way it's fairly easy to gain access to a hotel without a key, I think we have all been at a hotel elevator where we entered by someone else using a card to get in.

I have deleted the above-referred post not because it had a crack at The Boss but because of its use of the term '******'. Like the term '*******' when used in a derogatory manner is not acceptable on this forum.

This is what I was getting at a few pages back about language getting a bit ripe. This was clearly spelled out in the forum rules under the old BigFooty skin but seems to be getting a bit lax now.

Such posts will simply be deleted.

i think you'll find he got in through a floor level access door which didn't require a room card but was left unlocked, therefore he didn't even need to enter the building. How did he get away from his mates , who knows, but i know when i've been having a very good time it is quite easy to lose track of people and end up elsewhere. Haven't you ever woken up after a big night and thought where am i or how did i get here???

Plenty still say Port Arthur was the Howard Governments idea for greater gun control.
It's beggars belief. Do the conspiracists even consider that Bill Clinton couldn't keep a blow job from an intern quiet but a President/PM could orchestrate a cover up of these massive proportions and no one would say anything?

The same ruling should be in place if someone were to use "Minda" in a derogatory manner.

Stupid, misinformed and unnecessary post.

Not forgetting winning 16 tests in a row.

Twice.

One more thing on this subject. The West Indies' 11 Test winning streak in the 1980's is made extra noteworthy due to the problem of slow over-rates at the time (largely their own doing considering they employed four fast bowlers coming off long runs), and the fact play would stop at 6pm sharp regardless of how many overs had been bowled for the day, or if the match had been affected by rain etc. Draws were far more common then and a series clean sweep of victories extremely rare.

During Australia's reign it was rare we didn't see the full 90 overs bowled in the day, lost time was made up either on the end of the days play or the start of the next, leaving teams little choice but to play for the victory. Draws became almost a thing of the past and results became common place, even at previously notorious "draw" venues like Adelaide.
