OK ;

Another good news item......... http://www.rugbyheaven.smh.com.au/

Apparently, after the Japs complaining about the "Aussies rough tactics" they tried to intimidate our goalie. After the game, the referree apologised to the Australian team for doing nothing at the time of the incident. And, ladies and gentlemen.....and Huge; saturday 17th June for the 2nd and last rah rah test

Very simple, mate.......THE LAW IS AN ASS One wonders what would have happened if the victim was a relly of the judge????????? There is only 1 law, as far as I can see....a hammer blow, preferably a sledge hammer blow, end of problem and one less in the jails.

We had a win http://www.google.com.au/ig

The Japanese have been whaling in and around Australian waters for many years for "research" and now, they want to increase the kill. The younger Japanese are coming over to Australia for their holidays and actively join in with the whale watching, which puts them off eating the poor creatures. It seems, now, that there is a great amount of whale meat that goes to making pet food in Japan, due to the dislike of their younger generation for eating the whales they most likely saw while in Australia. At one stage, in Japan, a whale was worth about $100 a kilogram but is now only valued at $6.50 a kg. Education seems to be the way to saving the whales. Unfortunately, our government will not go against Japan's wishes because of trade agreements.....

Interesting post, mate. Many thanks for that. From Ken L The topic of insect repellents has been done to death (do a search) on here but the upshot is 1. Shower in the afternoon and get yourself clean and free of mossie attracting oders. 2. Do not use any aftershave, deoderant etc. I believe that mossies are attracted to all creatures from the carbon dioxide that is breathed out and can detect this from a distance of 1 kilometre

Many thanks go to the US coast guards for saving an Australian couple, whose light aircraft had to ditch in the Pacific Ocean near the Hawaiian Islands. The coast guard made a "runway" by utilising a number of vessels. The Australians were on there way from California back to Australia

Mate, what can I say??? We are only considered 40th by world standards. At least the Socceroos have a small chance. Wait while the swimming, the rugby league, the tennis, the cricket.........bugga..........might get banned for that word, where was I, oh yes, lawn bowls etc. etc., they will be interesting to watch, hey? To Elton, thanks for that. After all, the Wallabies lost 7 international games straight.

As good as you can get, mate. It is used alot in Australia, marketed under the name "Bushman". Another one we use extensively is Aeroguard , it's active base is diethyltoluamide. Living in the tropics, we have nasty little diseases like malaria, Ross River fever and Dengue fever.

Watched the international last night and had to post the result to the English............Yes, Huge, it is permitted to put it on the forum. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_unio...ies/5068892.stm

Here you go, mate; a few prices to help you Some good freshwater fishing within a couple of hours' drive of Brissie. and some excellent sea fishing as well. http://www.google.com.au/search?q=brisbane...a:en-US:official

Mate, spot on. There are stacks of stories where wildlife is injured, or killed. A mate of mine got a 4/0 hook imbedded in his foot after walking on our local beach.Worse, it was rusty. PLEASE DISPOSE OF YOUR UNWANTED HOOKS AND LINE THOUGHTFULLY

Mate, have to agree with that http://www.dragons.com.au/main.asp

Good to know, mate, but........the Sunshine Coast area is fairly pricey...and a bit snobbish. http://www.realestate.com.au/directory/age...a_headland.html

Yeah.........I lived there for 7 years. The best time is Easter, the Wet has finished and the barra congregate below the divi dam. We would also fish the Keep river, up in the tidal areas in summer, Ivanhoe crossing and Parry creek.

When are you coming to live in Australia, mate.........and where????? Don't forget, there are some MONSTER barra in QLD

Too right, BUDGIE, mate, cuz Then again, each to his/her own. Wouldn't try for a crap 10 metres away, but would travel 2500km for a decent barra charter, and have done.

G'day mate, true about "invasive pest". Note that it states "CARP EUROPEAN". As far as I understand it, that means cyprinus carpio Have to agree that they dont fight very hard. 8.9kg on 1 kg line........musta bin a near death fish, or the bloke who caught it, moved the decimal point from 10kg to 1.0kg.

The best results for carp, that I can find in Australia, are: CARP EUROPEAN 1 8.950 Mark Mccreadie Georges River NSW 09-11-02 CARP EUROPEAN 2 9.500 K BATCHELOR MIDDLE HARBOUR CK NSW 10-08-87 CARP EUROPEAN 3 8.520 John Rupic Murray River NSW 10-04-00 CARP EUROPEAN 4 9.600 John Rupic Murray River NSW 04-02-00 CARP EUROPEAN 6 8.610 John Rupic Murray River NSW 10-03-01 This was taken from the ANSA website and, I take it, the weights are in kg along with the line strengths.

Gets confusing.........An eastern box turtle in central south, North Carolina?!?!?!?!?!......... Ask Newt. Anyway, a nice pic of a great little bloke.

Mate, some biggies come off the beaches down there. we have the black jew up in Qld and the Northern Territory.. Bronzie, good to know what they are called in South Africa. Thanks for that, mate.

Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for six days. Eventually, Corkers the archangel found him on the seventh day resting. He enquired of God, "Where have you been?" God pointed downwards through the clouds. "Look Corkers, look what I've made," said God. Archangel Corkers looked puzzled and said, "What is it?" "Its a planet," replied God, "and I've put LIFE on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance." "Balance?" inquired Corkers, still confused. God explained, pointing down to different parts of the Earth, "For example, North America will be a place of great opportunity and wealth while South America is going to be poor; the Middle East over there will be a hot spot and Russia will be a cold spot. Over there I've placed a continent of white people and over there is a continent of black people." God continued, pointing to the different countries. "This one will be extremely hot and arid while this one will be very cold and covered in ice." The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to another area of land and asked, "What's that?" "Ah", said God. "That's called Queensland , the most glorious place on Earth. There are beautiful people, impressive towns; it is the home of the worlds finest artists, musicians, writers, thinkers and explorers. The people from QLD are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous and they're going to be found travelling the world. They'll be extremely sociable, hard-working and high-achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as speakers of truth." Corkers gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What about balance God, you said there will be BALANCE!" God replied very wisely, "Wait till you see the idiots I'm putting down there in England"
