  @happy_tiger @Cultured_Bogan Both 100% Correct!! Not sure why there is pushback on this from @formerguest ?? @mrem it seems that ideology trumps facts. All too common mate, but it’s all about group identity now right? To them, it’s like a Parramatta supporter telling them that their team is better and they should ditch the Tigers. It would be very hard to convince someone to do that.

  Liam’s alright. He’s actually very good with fans. Lots of videos around where he has good interactions with them. I prefer Noel though.

  @Tigerlily Yep unfortunately another Black Saturday type event is due Morons in govt will play heroes after doing nothing towards climate change Thankfully farmers finally starting to come around Boiling water to drink in Walgett is outrageous As a health professional I’d be hauled before the courts if I treated my clients like some of those who use the land/rivers for profit treat those community assets A desert continent awaits us if we don’t change.

  @GNR4LIFE said in 2nd time round for OneRepublic GF entertainment: @Bozo97 said in 2nd time round for OneRepublic GF entertainment: Cant be any worse then last year, at least people have somewhat heard of these guys Speak for yourself. Never heard of these nobodies. A shame Metallica and Slipknot aren’t touring a couple weeks earlier, they could have been entertainment. Slipknot performing Disasterpiece or Get This in the pre game is something I would pay to watch. If I were in one of the GF sides and I was sitting in the shed and the first 30 seconds of Left Behind started playing I would be that amped I’d destroy the dressing shed lol…

  @rustycage said in Kids Footy: Difficult situation to be in. Was there finals on the line or something? Unless I’m misreading, it seems all a little too serious. Last week, we played a carnival of 4 games. We went there expecting to struggle in each. It turned out that we won two of the games, drew one and only got beaten by Burleigh 2 tries to one in the last game which was stopped early after one of our fellas succumbed to a brutal, late and very high hit. Numerous parents from Burleigh were laughing and one of ours said to not be so gross and to have some respect for an injured 10 year old. Well, things went south pretty quickly and 3 bushpigs were threatening our parents with violence. It was bloody awful apparently. I was fortunate enough to not witness all of the events as we pretty much left straight away not expecting things to get as out of hand as they did. Our mums had to be escorted to their cars and drove out behind locked doors. Some people are (insert swearing here) appalling. My young fella has his last game today against the Nerang Rorters. Probably going to be too strong, but we’ve had a great season with a whole bunch of learning gone on. Young Rusty has been given the role as first receiver and has loved being so involved. Our boys have a special mate that gets to play today for the last 10 minutes or so today. I think there’s gonna be quite a few aching hearts seeing him pull on the jersey and run to hopefully even score. The support kids show for others is amazing at times. Makes you proud - real proud. Yeah the game between 1 and 2 was on before our game and it was full on …some of the hits would of caught Vossy eyes if he had been commenting lol …but yes parents getting full on …and as is usually the way it’s not the Dad’s it’s the Mum’s starting it all …this one lady has a full on shot at another mother …and then the mother replies back …and then the 1st mum is trying to get her hubby to do something …"did you hear what that … said to me " Times like these the massive asteroid scenario seems good lol

  Damn. That’s sad to hear. Been seeing them live for nearly 30 years. Les Fusils Celibataires is one of the all time great albums for me. Anthem for Tigers fans so often: “Oh we’re nowhere, yeah yeah yeah” Love that song. Nails the inner city world around me in my 20s.

  @pawsandclaws1 said in Long Tan - Danger Close: This should be an interesting movie. The story of D Company 6th RAR and Long Tan, 108 men including 4 Kiwis attached, held of 2500 North Vietnamese Army soldiers in the Long Tan rubber estate. Many of the men were Nashos who demonstrated such courage that D Company was awarded a Presidential Citation for bravery. The 105mm guns in support provide rapid fire most of the night requiring frequent changes of gunners as they became exhausted in the humidity. RIP young Lt Gordon Sharp from Tamworth who led 11 Platoon in firt contact and whom was bravely killed at the front of his men still facing the enemy. I did read the US were making a movie on Long Tan but all characters were to be US. Long Tan was the only set piece battle in Vietnam which sort of destroys the legitimacy of many of the US Vietnam movies. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0441881/videoplayer/vi3150625817?ref_=vi_nxt_ap Here is a 105mm pack howitzer being used a fairly rapid pace. Imagine keeping this rate of fire up. I believe the Kiwis used these whereas the Aust gunners used the American 105mm howitzer. Here is a tremendous story of one of the Kiwis in the battle, the forward artillery observer, Major Morrie Stanley, who directed the artillery fire that night which saved the Company from being wiped out. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=long+tan+artillery+fire+youtube&ru=%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dlong%2Btan%2Bartillery%2Bfire%2Byoutube%26qs%3Dn%26form%3DQBRE%26sp%3D-1%26pq%3Dlong%2Btan%2Bartillery%2Bfire%2B%26sc%3D0-24%26sk%3D%26cvid%3DE2E9D5CDD7364D04990B5A6B3FAD3C11&view=detail&mid=05C96E9B4B56BFC3430805C96E9B4B56BFC34308&&mmscn=vwrc&FORM=VDRVRV this looks like a fantastic movie…can’t wait to eyeball it…if you can read Harry Smith’s book it is a great read…about time we got a good movie about Aussie soldiers doing well with their mates…

  @supercoach said in gone: Seriously at the start of the year with our roster we needed a lot of luck and a lot of teams to have bad luck to scrape into the eight. As it turned out we have not had a lot of luck in three games that we deserved to win but didn’t. At the start of the year I thought maybe 12th would have been a good effort. Anyway with Madge I am confident with some quality recruitment we will start to finally build into a strong football club Well his 2 recruits have done well. 1 can’t be registered and the other should be in RMC next week and oh yeah he couldn’t even convince DWZ to come here who took a massive pay cut for the remainder of this season to play for the dogs. Since he doesn’t have Russell Crowe as the owner I’ll be interested to see who he recruits over the next 2 years

  @Masterton said in Newcastle advice: Hi. Need some advice from a local Novacastrian. Looking for a decent pub for watching the NRL and having a Saturday punt and good beer, somewhere near Beaumont St. Any ideas? I think you’re pretty much right with the pubs on Beaumont st mate. try the Kent or the northern star.
