Re: Big increase in air fares

I was recently able to book 3 return tickets Melbourne - Bkk for about 9000b each, on sale, for Oct/Nov this year - Jetstar. Was too good a deal not to snap up. Just seats, we'll have to add some luggage for the Mrs and some entertainment for the young fella and some grub for the old fella, but a go...

Re: Australian federal politics

A few alternative dates here: The ensuing Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (UK) became law when Queen Victoria signed the Royal Commission of Assent on 9 July 1900. The Queen presented a duplicate copy, alongside her signing pen, inkstand, and table to Barton at a ceremony at Windsor ...

Re: Steve From Steve's Bar Had a Stroke

I spoke to Steve and he was discharged from Hospital, yesterday (Christmas Day) he is at home but he says he has a lot of hard work ahead of him to get anywhere near to where he was prior to being hospitalised. Mostly physiotherapy, I believe. However, his return home ca be considered the BEST Chri...

Re: Cricket 2023

What a game between the Aussies and Kiwis yesterday. A runfest, almost 800 runs in a little under 100 overs. Was fun the watch and because the Kiwis are good blokes was not even too fussed about winning and losing. Great game.

Jacinta Allen is the new premier of Victoria. The commie has been replaced by another commie.

Re: Victorian(Aussie) Commie premier stands down.

Won 3 elections in a row. Left on his own terms. Increased his majority each election. Labor majority in Victoria so great and the disfunction within the Tories so entrenched that labor pretty well guaranteed another 2 x 4 years terms, which will mean 20 years in power. Victorian economy has boomed ...

Tipped 2 out 2 this weekend and we have Collingwood and Brisbane grand final next weekend. Think the pies will prevail in what is hopefully a close game.

Wobbles progress in a thriller. Collingwood 8.10. 58 Western Sydney 8.9. 57. What a game.

Re: Who will win the AFL this year

Bit hard to stay very interested when your team finishes 2nd last, and then stone motherless, in the past 2 seasons. I'm starting to empathise with 747. :shock: I was in a BD bar last evening, and there were 3 other Aussies in there. Only one of us wasn't an Eagles supporter, and he was from Sydney...
