I never really thought of you as the commanding type, Gary. But I like it.

Its rumoured Moore was killed by the same people that killed Chris Cornell.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Is that true?

 

[Gary Gutful]

I reckon the witch is fibbing...

My new neighbours. Yet to move in. First thing did was hacked all trees down. But hindy111 is on the move after 11yrs. Goodbye Penrith.

Hate to generalise here but it's one thing my mates and I have noticed about a lot of people of Indian persuasion.... they deadset hate gardening.... Mate of mine lives in a new estate with big arse new houses that all cost over $1m, so we're not talking about lazy bums here being able to afford them.... but the ones with the grass left un-mowed and edges unkempt and growing all over the footpaths and curbs, you can bet your bottom dollar belongs to a sub-continental family...

So I'm not surprised your new neighbours cut the trees down, they no doubt want as little upkeep as possible outside the house...

Where you off to?

Inner west

Inner west

Although technically closer to the city, you do realise that Doonside, Whalan and Tregear are not actually "inner west" don't you?

Gettin' closer!

Gettin' closer!

Been a great journey.

Parramatta is the centre of Sydney. This makes the area between there and Blacktown the Inner West and beyond Blacktown the West. Parramatta to Strathfield is the Inner East and beyond that is the East.

f**k those Newtown f**kers who claim they live in the Inner West. It's not 1856 anymore, you wankers.

Nice one you westie trogs

Because enraged merkins gobble it up. They are in the business of making money, not promoting and encouraging a safer world.

It really is quite interesting. So when these attacks happen the media and people in general shy away from blaming Islamic terrorists and everyone yells at the media for protecting them.

Then when it is a Islamic terrorist people are outraged that the media then show them and not protect them.

I hate the media as much as anyone but I do find that rather amusing........

I don't know what the reaction should be from anyone because people just want someone to blame and they will find whatever they want in anything to vent. Some people attack an entire religion, others attack the media, governments, leaders etc.

Truth is, everyone is probably a little responsible in some way..........the one truth is that it won't stop any time soon and there is no humane way to take care of the problem........until then we just wait for the next one and hope it's not us.

Good to see that the NRL is not the only bunch who don't understand how pathologically insane driving while pissed is. FFS .....my parrot got eaten by the dogs I was lookin after. What an unfortunate hiccup. And if this merkin had driven into some other poor bastard while on his way to honour the corpse of his sulfur crested friend?

NZ cricketer Doug Bracewell blames pet parrot's death for drink-driving offence

New Zealand cricketer Doug Bracewell has been sentenced to 100 hours of community service for a third drink-driving offence after blaming the killing of a pet cockatoo by dogs for his decision to drive home drunk from a function.

The 26-year-old fast bowler was pulled over by police in March and returned a blood-alcohol reading more than three times the legal limit.

His lawyer told the Hastings District Court that Bracewell had been drinking at a function when his girlfriend called him in distress after their cockatoo was killed by dogs they were minding for a friend, the local newspaper Hawke's Bay Today reported on Thursday.

Judge Bridge Mackintosh also disqualified him from driving for a year and said the 27-Test cricketer had let himself, his family and New Zealand Cricket down.

"This offending in my submissions should be seen as an unfortunate hiccup and something that doesn't reflect the man he has become or the sportsman," the newspaper quoted Mackintosh as saying.

New Zealand Cricket said it would not impose any additional penalty.

"NZC notes Mr Bracewell suffered a serious leg injury in February and is unlikely to resume his competitive cricket career until next summer," local media quoted the organisation as saying.

Go easy, Barry. He probably spent years teaching those parrots all manner of crude phrases.

True.

But, man I understand why people who are short of a quid end out driving home when they shouldn't (it's still bloody wrong), but when professional sportsmen do so it is pure laziness, greed and self-interest. But it's what the average Joe does, so it's much less of a than some merkin getting caught with some coke at a nightlclub, even if the risk to society is about 100 times greater.

Lets not detract from the real issue here - the Southern Hempishere is full of two-bit, shitty cities with absolutely shithouse public transport options.

I agree but it can be hard to change patterns of behaviour, especially if someone's drunk. These blokes are still relatively young and haven't been wealthy all that long, yet plenty of older wealthy people make the same mistakes, including judges, lawyers and police. I'm not making excuses for any of them though, as it is incredibly dangerous to others. Put yourself at risk all you like, but only yourself. Which is why the law against riding a bike drunk annoys me.

Oh, I'm not excusing other well-off people who drink drive. And I understand your annoyance at the 'riding a bike drunk' thing. But the chap you run into might also spend the rest of their life f**ked up after watching you sail over their bonnet. Much less risk of course, and from a law maker's point of view, youd much rather people get on a bkie pissed than into a car.
