Are you one of their roadies or are you Molly Meldrum?

They were ok for pensioners.
Robbie absolutely smashed it last year and set the benchmark for both codes.

I was hoping for “ Shandi”

If hey dont play it in Sydney, there will be a riot.


A real tearjerker back in the day. So sad and heartfelt.

“ Lovin you is killing me inside”

“Tonight must last us forever.”

There’s that story that as soon as Dylan heard it, he gave up songwriting.

Christine Sixteen
Song by Kiss


She's got me dizzy
She sees me through to the end
She's got me in her hands
And there's no use in pretending

Christine, sixteen
Christine, sixteen
She drives me crazy
I want to give her what I've got
And she's hot every day and night
There is no doubt about it

I don't usually say things
Like this to girls your age
(Christine, sixteen)
But when I saw you coming
Out of the school that day
That day I knew, I knew
I've got to have you, I've got to have you
(Christine, sixteen)

She's been around
But she's young and clean
I've got to have her
Can't live without her, whoa no

Christine, sixteen
Christine, sixteen

Christine
(Christine)
Sixteen
(Sixteen)
Christine, yeah
(Yeah)
So clean
(Christine)
Sixteen
(Sixteen)
Christine, yeah, yeah, yeah

So there’s this tree, famous cos it’s been growing at Hadrian’s Wall, known as the Robin Hood Tree, old enough that random dinosaurs cocked their legs on it.





Yeah so some motherf**ker cut it down yesterday or so. Dude.

Again an example of the treachery our politicians constantly display and action against us. Farmers being f**ked over, produce and power prices will just keep going up with no solution ever being available or forthcoming. These policies are made purely to just ruin us and destroy our way of life. Nothing surer.

Bullcrap. The National Farmers Federation have supported meaningful action on climate change for decades and are 100% behind net zero 2050.

Farmers are one of the most innovative groups out there are to suggest that primary producers are anything but all in is embarrassing.

^^^ this argy bargy by the Vic Farmers is part of negotiations for easements for renewable energy to the grid.

Negotiations are actually close to agreement, yet the Outsiders are trying to make this into something else.

Polling suggests that the insurmountable hill to climb is that 70% of boomers* are voting NO.

* baby boomers (born 1946 to 1964), generation X (born 1965 to 1980) and millennials (born 1981 to 1996).

This analysis seems to be of the view that the referendum will be decided similar to elections, in Electorates, when it talks about suburbs and towns, but that is ridiculous.

Well if you are YES campaigning, do you think you need to spend any money in the new suburbs in south western sydney (young families) inner west, inner city (young progressives) or maybe in the boomer suburbs like the leafy north shore or the older Hills districts ? Those punters have made it clear how they are voting, per polls.

That’s exactly what he’s talking about.

Clarification: NO campaign is funded by the chaps from Blackmores, Kennards, Jet Couriers and of course Gina. Can we cut the crap about big corporates ?

When I was at school we had this tree where we could all hide and smoke where the teachers couldn't see us. And all the grade below us where looking forward to us graduating so they would then claim the hiding tree.

But Mik went back just after our last day and cut it down. That was Mik.

I remember Mik also laid a cable in the common room microwave and put it on high for 2hrs. That was Mik.

I had to stop and think. Rascist? Oh the Attorney General is African American….

His former Lawyer Michael Cohen explained the Mar-a-logo valuation. It’s zoned as a guest house. He switched it.. He did that so he doesn’t have to pay extraordinary annual taxes, yet when convenient, he pretends that it’s zoned residential. This is an example of the sham that he spins to the banks.



What assets does Trump actually own ? To be honest, after listening to Michael Cohen and hearing how highly geared he is to non-bank lenders at above market high risk rates and reading the below how he scams naming rights on NYC buildings, the grift is real. Still a rich man, but he need to be seen as more successful than he is, seems to drive him.

Letitia James wants to freeze the family’s business in the state. They sort of beat her to it.

Zoning. He’s only allowed to live there because he has been deemed “an employee of the club”.
