  1. I saw one of those Star Wars pun memes where Capt. Picard says, "England transported all their Colin's to India, Australia, Africa and America." 

    His 2 I.C said, "Why?"

    "Because they wanted to Colinise the world."

     

    Yes, I know it's stupid, they all are.

     

     

  2. Dave died in 2005, so that clip would be at least 20 old, probably more. Not long before that we were laughing at Arthur Dunger (Paul Hogan) and Coln Carpner (Kim Gyngell).

  3. One of the nicest days for a long time in Melbourne, so I decided to take a drive.Visited some of the places I lived in before I was married, and hadn't seen some of them in over 40 years. The ultimate destination was Essendon airport, and what a disappointment.Very few aircraft, and those that were there were parked well away from anywhere you could take a photo. Most accesses now have double gates you could fit a car between (airlock fashion) and multiple chain-link fences, some even with what looked like flyscreen on them. You could catch a glimpse of a wing, or a tail, but not a whole aircraft without some obstruction in front of it. There were 3 bizjets together, a Bombardier Challenger and similar, one VH, one N (USA), and one ZK. I didn't even get out the camera or phone.

  4. No. It was an old B&W film of a guy in a bowling alley doing trick shots, like bowling a strike through his legs, picking up a spare laying on the floor and pushing the ball with his foot, bowling two strikes in adjacent lanes simultaeously,bowling one ball slowly and two more faster to take out a strike, and many more unbelievable shots. I had a quick look on YT but didn't see it there.

    With greatest respect, this is your taste.

    You are absolutely right, and again it looks like I'm in the minority. Quite familiar with that. But to me, they just look dirty. Maybe because I'm an old phart, turn 80 in six months. You see a nice looking young lady, then she takes off her jacket and has black and blue from wrist to shoulder. Yuk. Like she has been through a meat grinder. If she has to have a tattoo, a heart or butterfly no bigger than a 10c coin, behind the ear or on the ankle might be OK.     

  6. CTE (Chronic traumatic encephalopathy) is a high priority in reducing head trauma and concussion.  Chronic traumatic encephalopathy is a neurodegenerative disease linked to repeated trauma to the head. The encephalopathy symptoms can include behavioral problems, mood problems, and problems with thinking. The disease often gets worse over time and can result in dementia. Many players such as Wally Lewis in NRL and Danny Frawley AFL are high profile cases of CTE. Danny Frawley was killed when his ute hit a tree, suspected as a result to CTE. The AFL takes a very dim view of players colliding with others, and falling and hitting the head on the ground after a high mark are also under constant scrutiny.

  7. While you are talking about violence in sport, just watch WWE/WCW/NXT etc. It's often said it's all fake, but you can't be flung over someone's head, fall on a metal step ladder and be hit with a metal folding chair and not be hurt. I was just watching a few minutes where Mick Foley stacked 3 pallets, with a couple of broken boards, then picked up Triple H who was covered in blood, and suplexed him onto the pallets. That's violence. Or women(?) kicking each in the face and stomach.And the womens champion until she had a shoulder injury from being flung into a wall, was an Aussie from Adelaide.
