All these copycats are nowhere near as good as the original Kern.

Having said that, that one is brilliant.

Great long interview (20+ minutes) on Mike and Mike in the morning on ESPN radio, which is simulcast on ESPN2, with ex Chicago Bulls - 6 titles and LA Lakers - 5 titles coach Phil Jackson about his new book 11 rings, The Soul of Success. Jackson all won 2 titles as a player with the NY Knicks in the 1970's.

Jackson has this great deep voice that would work well on radio if he wanted to that as a career.

I happened to catch 2 minutes of the Collingwood propoganda show on Foxtel tonight.

Thought it was pretty funny when they put up on the screen, their assistant coach's name as "Ben Heart".

Eddie, why are you reading an article about how women give up their careers to become 50s style housewives?

Mainly because I am a 50's style housewife but also because the link was sent to me as I know someone who is in or wrote the article.

Sad sad day. An Aussie icon now gone for some crappy FWD import.
Not to mention all those poor people losing jobs!

Surprised it didn't happen sooner tbh. Automotive manufacturing is hideously expensive in Australia.

I just like the fact his last name sounds like someone coughing up a lung.

Holden and Ford can eat a dick.

That said, the workers shouldn't be punished for working for parasitic companies.

Are Unions pricing Australia out of the manufacturing market?

Are developing nations pricing Australia out of the manufacturing market.

Yes, and what ford and holden are doing is just business.

Macca you're not meant to READ the articles, just react to the headline. Amateur.

The best cars are from before the 21st century anyway. We don't need no new cars.

 

[Macca19]

Apparently now theyve sai they are closing all ford production in australia by 2016.

Starting closures like that is the beginning of the end, Mitsubishi did it, Holden have been doing it. It hasn't helped.

I never liked Phil Jackson (being a Boston fan and he was coach of the Lakers), until he did this amazing cover when denied a fist bump from Kobe:



It still makes me laugh, laugh, laugh. Genius.

C64 was a COMPUTER!

True, my bad. And what a computer! I even learned to programme my own simple games on there. The Atari followed by the Sega Mega Drive were the consoles of my era.

Seems like just about everyone tied to the manufactuer are going to feel it hard as well. Holden next then maybe Toyota. A lot of people out of jobs.
