BTW, her mum’s dad is called Tiger Hill ! Got to be an omen lol

Ok, out of left field. I work on a thoroughbred stud in Victoria and amongst other things, we foal down mares, raise the foals and prepare them for the various weanling and yearling sales around the country. I fell in love with one of our yearlings and bought her before she went to the recent...

Sorry, another longish one... In the back roads of the Mitta Valley (banjos can be heard in the distance), Jim, an international pilot bought a 20 acre property. He was looking to retire soon, but for now he spent most of his time overseas. Although they'd never, met his neighbour Col was...

Never have read an electronic book and probably never will. I love the musty, bookish smell. Clavell's Shogun triology (?) are some of the best books I have read. I must read them again!!

Love Chris Hammer. I'm Into The Tilt at the moment but work reading means I have to spend more time on the Inglis Premier Sale yearling calalogue for early next month. Priorities lol?

Hal, just ordered the book on Amazon. Tks!

I'll look that one up. Patrick Hogan was at Warwick Farm one day with Guy Walter looking at his horses being worked. We had a filly with Guy at the time called Too Darn Hot. She'd had a few starts but hadn't shown a lot. She was going to be better the further they went. Hogan asked Guy...

Some time in the future... Ireland had just won the football World Cup. Their hero was goalkeeper Paddy O'Leary who had made four miraculous saves in the game. The team celebrated hard at their local and near midnight, Paddy was staggering his way home. He turned a corner and saw a 10 storey...

My daily beer is Coopers Red. I also brew my own and whenever I can get motivated - make sure I've got the right grain bill, clean the kegs, get the mash tun ready, clean the fermenter, grow the yeast and make sure there's enough gas for the boiler - my all time favourite is a Robust Porter.

Todd?!! 70kgs?!! Holy guacamole lol. We had a Great Dane years ago who admittedly was the runt of the litter but she only ever got to 50kg lol. I'm so glad you got back on the horse. I don't know how old she is but it doesn't matter - young ones you've got a long time to enjoy them and old...

Todd, how old was Rosie? We've been rescue dog addicts for a long time. Joy for years and then inevitably...heart break. Our little Missy gone done by a brown snake a few months ago - devastating. Now we've inherited another two rescues from my wife's Mum and Dad who passed away last year so...

WSE, apart from the boat, the most expensive thing in the photo is the packet of durries. Don't ask me how I know!

I've read all the "Oporto" jibes about our overweight players over the years. I'm in Vic so only saw my first Oporto in Cranbourne last week while doing a racehorse handling course at the track. I'd already eaten but it didn't really grab me?

For those talking about blackfish - I used to go down to La Perouse when I was a young bloke and living in Sydney. They were always old blokes - with centrepin reels, cleats on their boots and picking weed off the rocks as bait. I watched and watched! They'd only cast their line a metre off the...

Did you hear about the dyslexic, agnostic insomniac? He used lie awake all night wondering if there really was a dog.
