The storms have hit us here in the Highlands 3 days in a row..
Plenty of rain and humidity…almost thought I was in Cairns,or some other tropical place...
The rain has been welcomed as we have needed it,but enough is enough and bring on the summer.....

I was reading about the NRL match review committee are going to have KPIs on a regular basis,one reason was to have more consistency on the decisions they make.

Wouldn't you think that consistent and fair rulings should be the norm especially in such a important part of the NRL system…

Anyone else notice they took down the fixed speed traps on the M4 on both sides of the Cumberland Highway?

Yep. They certainly weren't going to catch too many . Speaking of the M4, it drives me insane that the right lane stops when traffic is merging on the left!!! Actually i just can't work out why a rd with no traffic lights stops at all!!!!

Because no bastard knows how to merge at speed.

Yeah 40 odd kilometres of freeway from west to east - three and four lanes wide and they decide to squeeze it to two lanes for 500 metres at James Ruse drive…..something Sheens would be proud of

In 1960, Tom Monaghan and his brother, James, purchased DomiNick's, a small pizza store in Ypsilanti, Michigan, near Eastern Michigan University.[7] The deal was secured by a $500 down payment, and the brothers borrowed $900 to pay for the store.[8] The brothers planned to split the work hours evenly, but James didn't want to quit his job as a full-time mailman to keep up with the demands of the new business. **Within eight months, James traded his half of the business to Tom for the Volkswagen Beetle they used for pizza deliveries**…...................................

......................................In 1998, after 38 years of ownership, **Domino's Pizza founder Tom Monaghan announced his retirement, sold 93 percent of the company to Bain Capital, Inc. for about $1 billion,** and ceased being involved in day-to-day operations of the company
