Frasier was a brilliant show as well, don’t bother with the new Reboot I didn’t get through 10 mins.

I thought you would have been more of a Bald and the beautiful fan tbh.

One of the all time great comedy podcasts has come to an end.

Triple J’s “Simply the Jest”

Simple premise: They have a topic each week and people ring in with a real life story. A lot of it is NSFW. Trust me, start from the beginning and listen through. They are genuinely funny people and the podcast is a celebration mad merkin random Aussies.

Simply The Jest with Jess Perkins - triple j

Simply The Jest: Australia’s Best Stories is Australia’s most competitive storytelling competition, for Australia’s least impressive prize.

www.abc.net.au

Rugby is almost dead in this country..

No one cares about this shit show

In the world of rugby, two codes compete,
Rugby League and Union, different in their feat.
League boasts speed and skill, a thrilling ride,
While Union's slower pace, many deride.

Union's scrums are criticised for their length,
While League's open play garners fans' breath.
With streamlined rules, League's action is clear,
In contrast, Union's complexity often appears.

League's athleticism, a sight to behold,
A modern sport with stories often told.
In the world of rugby, it stands tall and proud,
While Union's shortcomings are said, but not allowed.

A poem to cheer @hindy111 up.

Hindy gave up drinking
His body on the mend
His mind will soon be clearer
And so will be his friends

Sounds to me he’s had a loss
Of something close and dear
Much better to handle it
Without the grog or gear

I gave away the booze
Some 20 year ago
And I watch my friends get smashed sometimes
and then I drive them home

I care not what another does
It’s up to him or her
All best in moderation
So long as you still stir.

my big regret to give up drink
And stay astute and sober
is the frightening realisation
That I follow the Wests Tigers!

 

[emjaycee]

For sure you seem to be quite apt,
At writing decent prose,
The style of which you could adapt,
Or bore your reader to repose.

Your subject too, you should consider,
Prior to putting down in words,
Is it something that will invoke a stir,
Or will simply irritate the nerds?

For those of us that read these pages,
Already know the truth,
That for many years and through the ages,
Union's dead, we need no proof.

Just for the panel, I checked the photo I took tonight and it seems I’ve inadvertently captured 2 authentic ufos flying in formation around St Clair.

Here’s a close up for @Gary Gutful



I’m going to call it the “Hindy” sighting.

it’s not actually dodgy, Twiz or @Timmah can verify.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Oh come to me my et friends
As I am leader of the earth
We can sign a treaty now
And for peace we can give birth

I hold out to you my rooster roll
A gift of chicken gory
Beware the microbes deep inside
Like HG Well’s’s story.

 

[Gary Gutful]

In St. Clair's Red Rooster, a man sought a break,
To use the restrooms, a small choice to make.
But once inside, the menu called his name,
A Rooster Roll, it was the same.

With Rooster Roll in hand, he left the scene,
To his Nissan Leaf, the car so clean.
Then came a light, a strange and eerie sight,
Aliens descended, in the dead of night.

They whisked him away, to another plane,
Where the 1989 NSWRL Grand Final's refrain.
On repeat, he watched the game unfold,
A cosmic adventure, a story to be told.

Worst haikus ever

 

[84 Baby]

Keneally's ink flows,
League's spirit, Red Rooster shows,
Stories that transpose.

 

[Gronk]

Latest is that the pic has been verified by twitters top experts and they will be on Joe Rogan next week.
