Have heard of the Brazilian woman, she would have been about 15 in 1958. Whether it's true or not, matters not, it's a good urban legend.
I'm assuming this is about 'The girl from Ipanema'. If so it's true, fairly well documented over the years. Not that there's any amazing story there to have people race off and search up on it. Just two guys watched a gorgeous girl walk by and wrote a tribute song to her, which made them squillions (and her zilch). I was on Corfu last year and my mate and I saw probably the most beautiful girl I've ever seen or will see walk past. She would have been about 15-16 too. No musical inspiration for us, we went and had a beer and sulked while reflecting on how getting older sucks.

Fairly sure i would request some details from my bank if one of my accounts went missing.......wonder how long until he relocates overseas?
The Bank would know who closed the account and where the money got transferred to if it did.
As you said, if I was one of the investors I would try and get some sort of order to stop people travelling overseas until they find out what happened.

Vlahos can't leave the country but his 'business partner' is in Dubai.

Mr Vlahos has had more than $26 million of his fortune frozen and is prohibited from leaving the country after at least one disgruntled member of his exclusive punters' club launched legal action over the missing funds.

He is now potentially facing another legal action over his purchase of Black Caviar's brother. Inglis is considering suing to recover payment for the colt, known as Jimmy, which until two weeks ago was gravely ill with the hoof disease laminitis.

Grandad is now appropriate ... :D

My daughter gave birth to my granddaughter yesterday ... :thumbsu:
Congrats. My only grandchild to date is a grandaughter, funny starting all over again. Does your daughter's family live close by? Mine does thankfully. Young Miss Powerstufff was a PAFC member the day after she was born.

Captains who don't enforce the follow-on should be shot.
The argument for resting the bowlers was being made pretty early today - I must say I was surprised. Once England's wickets began tumbling I thought (like most of us I guess) that the follow-on was a given. Because as one of the Radio 981 commentators said a game that finishes a day early is equally valuable for resting players.
Also, Rogers?!!? Again?? :eek:

There wasn't a wrong decision either way with 7.5 sessions left in the match, but it's good to rest the bowlers on a hot day.

We'll win the test either way and our bowlers should be fresher for Perth.

Yes me too, the 'Group of death' tag gets used whenever we play countries where 2/3 of the that countries' team have seen a soccer ball before.
It can't be the Group of Death, it has Australia in it.

we couldn't have got an easier draw. The only risk is we won't have any challenging games until the knock out rounds.
Err ... sarcasm?
