    Not the middle one, red on black rarely works, the red will bleed into the black particularly on TV or in average to poor lighting.

    What Car do you Drive..?

    2005 Mitsubishi Magna and a 2009 Ford Falcon XR6. Now we are moving to a rural area needed a car more suited to some of the conditions so just purchased a 2022 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Exceed. Loving the difference in rural insurance costs compared to the city, the Pajero in country Victoria is...

    Not yet, only retired in 23 and in the process of moving to rural Victoria, once set up there will most likely, though model railways can be a very expensive hobby, an Australian locomotive will set you back between $300 and $900 per unit depending on the manufacturer, the type and if is DC or...

    Taking a wrecking ball to the club! (Recent Media Reports)

    Yes, the Fruit Pickers came about because back in the day you had play for the side in the area you resided, so with Ashfield being a rural area with predominantly orchards many of the players were fruit pickers. Interestingly the Balmain colours of black and gold were not inspired by the Tiger...

    True but Lidcombe wasn't the regular venue until 1962, prior to that there was only 7 games at Lidcombe the first in 1941. By the way from 1908 to 1999 Western Suburbs played 246 games at Lidcombe (August 31, 1941 - August 31, 1986) and 345 at Pratten Park (August 24, 1912 - August 18, 1985)...

    Rugby league history

    Hate seeing Joe Cool in the opposition line-up, though always interesting seeing players in the lower grades, some notable names nearing the end of their careers and some just starting out. Notice Wayne Lambkin turning out for the Magpies in the under 23's.

    Yep, though the term Red Rattler originated in Victoria with their electric suburban rolling stock that began operating in 1919 and the term was later adopted here. More of a challenge compared to the modern stock of today, being 1926 technology they were very basic in operation but good to...

    Brian May is a musician with talent, Mark Knopfler is a musician with talent, could list more but not every musician has talent, as with any job/career there are some who have the talent to excel at what they do however most are adequate enough to get by and get their job done without being...

    Started as a 2nd person at Lithgow in 1988, went into the ETR school in early 1990 and was appointed Driver at Central in late 1990. Spent 9 years at Central before transferring to Blacktown in 1999 where I spent the next 24 years before retiring in 2023.

    Taking a wrecking ball to the club! (Recent Media Reports)

    So you can refer to Melbourne as the Storm, and Penrith as, well a commonly used version of the Panthers, and I suspect you refer to other clubs by their logo/mascot, which many do. So why can't others use "Tigers" when referring to the Wests Tigers, you do it with other clubs but you scold...

    Taking a wrecking ball to the club! (Recent Media Reports)

    There you go with the name again, so what if some miss the "s" occasionally, it may be incorrect but really it's not a major concern to most. You also have a go at people using the term "Tigers" without the "Wests", so I will ask you this how do you refer to the Melbourne Storm, solely as...

    Taking a wrecking ball to the club! (Recent Media Reports)

    Scolding someone over a divisive comment with a divisive comment, seriously flawed. "Solidarity" and "Balmain 'brothers and sisters'", sounds like a 70's militant union leader on his soapbox.
