Don’t let your kids talk to chickens, they’ll pick up all kinds of fowl language

If you or your sons and daughters are interested in a career in naval shipbuilding, refer to the webpage in the Asia Pacific Defence Reporter article below. A College is being built to train workers which is a long overdue initiative.

There’s a product now for NRL overseas? watchnrl.com

I believe it’s the official NRL platform outside of Oceania.

Yeah, I used that to watch the 2011 final against the Dragons from Niagara Falls.

That night was Niagara Falls for Dragons fans.

We’re you the one who went over in a barrel?

Ben roberts made some interesting comments on sheens and Stuart on bloke in a bar

What did he say ?

He was with our juniors with benji when his contract was up we low balled him at 30k, said had no money. Dogs offered 60k then we matched their offer.

Said he wanted to schoolies sheens talked him out of it.

I didn’t catch whole of Stuart but this was Stuart parra gate basically Stuart got rid of 22 out of 30 roster put it up on a projector players upset especially players been there for years.

We should be thanking Sheens for that. Roberts was useless.

There’s a pie van up on the sunny coast that had the best pie and mushy peas I’ve ever tasted … he was a big broncos fan and it was the day after they’d secured the spoon. Felt for him … NOT!

Terrible news 5150…heartbreaking.
Whaddya do?
Can’t do anything.
Deal with as best we can. Look out for each other… Talk about it, share the load, show compassion and care

Yep, we had his wife and kids over for dinner…she has just started full time work, her youngest is in Y5. Her oldest in Y12, studying, holding down 2 jobs including doing his dads job to keep the family business going. No one has done anything wrong but there is a hard road ahead for everyone.

Mate good on for you reaching out, now is a time when people need to be supporting each other. It is amazing what a little act of kindness can do for someone that is struggling.

Mate its not a big deal for me, we love em and would have them over any time.

Exactly mate, may not seem like a big deal to you but I bet it meant a lot to them. People sometimes forget how even a small act like sharing a dinner can improve other people’s mental health.

I picked up a two-pack from The Good Guys for $580. Thought I may have needed a 3rd unit as I live in a large 6 bedroom, two-storey house but the twin-pack has plenty of grunt. Was hoping it would make a difference but I’ve got no complaints whatsoever now - my home theatre room used to be a blackhole due to extra insulation etc but now I can sit here comfortably with full signal strength.

Obviously sitting in there right now willow, is the forum on the big screen?

Ghost Recon😀

I was just playing Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on mine lol

Anybody an Albert Camus fan? I would recommend any of his books.

Bitcoin : The thread that keeps giving …to some of us anyway …hope you make squillions and help out with some TPA’s for the WT’s …or lose a few golf games …whatever works

Watched The Dry tonight. I enjoyed it, good film for an Aussie flick.

The portrayal of Aussie Country town life was really authentic, except for one scene where they are drinking Budweiser??? Cant work out the thought process behind that.

I went and watched that today,better than average film.I usually find Bana far too wooden as an actor but he went ok.

Agreed, but that Budweiser scene freaks me out…why!!!

Beats me,i can only asume whoever was looking after the time period authentication was a yank because i dont know of any aussie who would drink the stuff.

Mate of mines birthday is 4 July. For his 21st his dad thought it would be hilarious if the only beer was Bud. He ended up having to go to the bottlo to get some proper beer. Sex on the beach.

The father will be lucky if his son ever forgives him.

Any tips on adding hops to a kit and kilo?

Hi Mate,

When using a kit, try adding dry hops at day 4, then follow your normal routine & see how you like the result.
Once you’ve tried that you can then experiment (if you weren’t happy with the result above) by dry hopping earlier or later during fermentation. It’ll also depend on quantity of hops you used initially. If you’re using a standard beer kit that makes 23 litres, you should add around 50g of hops (for a Pale Ale).

The best Pale Ale I’ve brewed using a kit was achieved by adding the dry hops at day 4 and then also transferring that hop bag to the keg. Beer was a little cloudy but boy it tasted good! It was my own Hazy!!
Cheers!!

Cheers mate. What pale ale kit did you use? I’m using the coopers.

I’ve been using the Black Rock Riwaka can and adding various combos of Galaxy / Cascade / Citra hops. But just yesterday I sampled a brew at the Brew Shop Kirrawee that was far superior. It was one of their fresh worts (Amarillo), with 100g of Simcoe hops (added at day four) and a US05 yeast. If you can’t get to Kirrawee they have stores at Peakhurst & Cambelltown.

I’d been around the corner at Sunday Road for a couple beforehand. They’re well worth the visit if you’re out this way. Gives you something to aspire to…

A few thousand klms away unfortunately lol. Ben thinking about trying a FWK. I’ll see how my attempt at hopping comes out
