No pythons around here that I know of. Probably a big brown or red-belly.

I'm Captain of a small Vic course that has sand "greens" - 9 holes with two different tees per hole to get our 18. I play off 12 but haven't had much of hit in the last year or so. Membership fee is $140 lol. Snakes galore but we walk and swim the dogs in the lake every day. My Jack Russell is...

Wow, this is some serious analysis of the game. I haven't looked at it in depth yet but even a cursory look shows how far Wests Tigers have been off the ball for "a while". https://tinyurl.com/2p9yebhw

Have to agree. One of the best novels I have read in a long time. Another of Craig Sylvie's is Jasper Jones - good read too.

Channel surfing last night and came across a NZ show on NITV called Wellington Paranormal. Very tightly written and I thought very funny. SBS on demand. https://tinyurl.com/Wellington-Paranormal

What shakes on the ocean floor? A nervous wreck.

If this is the biggest drama we have to face in the next 12 months I'll be delighted.

In a face-to-earth, stable body position, skydivers take about 10 secs to fall the first 1,000 ft and 5 secs for every 1,000 ft after that. After about 1,000 ft they reach a terminal velocity of 200 kph. If you jumped from 15,000 ft and opened your parachute at 2,000 ft you would have been in...

Usually on my iPad sitting on the deck having a beer and a durrie lol.

Worst food I *almost* ate was in the Philippines - Pagadian City in Mindanao - in the early '80s - balut. Hawkers at traffic lights. My expat mate almost convinced me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balut_(food) The best would have to be chilli-black bean mud crab we caught in the NT.

Sorry, didn't mean to derail the thread.

One of the best mares ever that one.

Yes, Tait & Nivison were very loyal clients of his. I noticed a horse racing last week (Pensera) by Pierro out of Streama - another great mare that he trained.

Yes, 98 and 99. I think the documentary was done for the 99 prep. 62 starts for 21 wins. Won 4 Chipping Nortons in a row and amassed over $6 million in prizemoney. Great horse.

Tie The Knot.

I was sitting on the bus opposite the most beautiful Thai girl I have ever seen. I kept saying to myself "Don't get an erection, don't get an erection." But she did!

Funnily enough that's not quite true. He once famously had a dig at a stablehand for working too fast. He wanted calmness around the boxes in the stable and the horses responded in kind. If you've ever been on a documentary set it is as far away from "calmness" as you can get. Lights, camera...

Back in the late 90's a mate of mine trained a horse that was near enough favourite for the Melbourne Cup and the ABC ran a multi-part series following his preparation over a couple of months. In the end the horse ran mid-field. He always regretted putting himself in the position where...
