Not to mention we get waterboarded for touching our phone while driving, but you can have a bj playing cards in a heavy combination vehicle with zero repercussions.

Went to Yan Yean reservoir yesterday for a walk with the family. Found quite a few of these bizarre looking dried out husks.

I sent a photo to my scientific friend who came back with an id .


It's the shell of an Australian Hawk Moth chrysalis.

All the usual suspects whinging about supposed cuts to funding of unnecessary waste in NDIS thread. Before the NDIS came in my sister was physically self-sufficient. Now she has a carer for 6 hours a week. For every $100 spent on her, 70% at least goes to an NDIS provider.
I know for a fact that this is a normal process.

 

[Over The Post]

And with the funding cuts, 90% at least goes to an NDIS provider. You don't think they're going to be shortchanged, do you?

And you can apply this to aged care as well

It’s rorting of the highest order and this govt is trying it’s darndest to get rid of it altogether

Shorten has invested so much time and energy into NDIS and it must be disheartening for all involved to see it being dismantled

First ever game of cricket between two LGBTQI teams, the Graces and the Unicorns is going happen in Brum at the end of May. This pleases me enormously.

I believe Liz Carmouche v Jessica Andrade was the first fight between two openly gay MMA fighters ever, that was 2013 I think

The ladies put us blokes to shame when LGBTQI acceptance in almost every sport except diving where I think you have to be gay.

Well there does generally seem to be more female gay athletes, or maybe they're more confortable being open about it.

They didn't cop the Muscular Christianity deal that much.

I think they're more comfortable with it tbh, straight boys only kiss each other when they're mashed on e. Straight girls need no such assistance.

Im sure ill get shot down and this is just my own generalisation but here we go (just my opinion):

Gay females are generally more masculine than straight female women and gay males are often more feminine than straight males. Sports often bring out the best of those who are stronger/faster etc (alot of sports anyway - if you run harder, hit harder, more strength etc then you are often better)

Really? Must try.

Ol' mate Craggles Kelly.

Not for his gag prop of piles of cash representing the government(s) running up debts and screwing over future generations, blah, blah, blah. Although it was pretty good.

But for his complete and utter lack of self awareness on paying for it.

"This pile of money represents the trillion dollars in debt that taxpayers and future generations of Australians will have to pay down"
"yeah, good one Craggles. How much did it cost to print up all this fake moola?"
"'bout a thousand bucks"
"How're ya paying for that?"
"Oh, just charge it to my electoral office printing budget. It's OK, it's within the rules."

"So, just chuck another thousand onto the pile for the poor taxpayers and future generations, yeah?"


Now in fairness to ol' Craggles, he did come back later and say he'd sort it from his own sky rocket. (We might want to check the receipt though).
But deal lord, the level of contextual color-blindness of this bloke!

I dunno, but I'm pretty pleased by the whole thing.

Maybe a hug as a bit of a wind up.. but yep no straight man ever kisses another bloke just because they've had some E.

My new RX skipping rope.

 

[Over The Post]

Cool! And when you're done skipping, you can use a padlock to secure your bike with it.

Oh ok. Politics and Rugby League: two subjects we're not allowed to discuss on this board. Anything else?

 

[Gough]

Scott Morrison has given me reason to follow Rugby League again, now I support whoever's playing Cronulla.

Climate change.

Post as much as you like about crossfit though.
