Rider actually

the wife did equestrian for ages a while back, you need a very very good horse but you also have to practice for about 5 days a week, hours at a time and it is all about having a very good understanding with your horse

f**king expensive sport too, the horse is only half of the cost, you have to get a gazillion dollar saddle, the right gear/clothing, safety helmets, horse accommodation, grooming, vet bills, horse food and it goes on and on

glad she gave it up
Gun rider = Great horseman. In 2024 = Horseperson.

The hours spent in training a horse to do all that shit would be endless.
No doubt about it. You still have to be a gun rider / trainer. I was just alluding to the fact that you need a horse in Europe and a horse in Australia (quarantine rules make it impossible to fly Rooting King around the globe).

But even if it was... that's just a painting 1500 years after the event, and it misrepresents Jesus as being a white european. What's to get offended about them sending up an artwork for 2 seconds.
I shake my head. Just leave it.
Fair enough, will do.

You don’t even believe in God yet you are telling me that some renaissance painting doesn’t depict Christ accurately. So what does it matter to you what Christ may have looked like? I can tell you one thing for sure, he wasn’t some man dressed like a woman or a fat Lesbian.

To be fair our harbour pools (Balmain, Double Bay) are deemed dodgy for swimming today because of poo water.


We have held Triathlon olympics and world champs in Sydney, with the swim leg in Sydney Harbour.

Indeed, and no competitor was swallowed by a bull shark.
Seriously, wtf were the French thinking even considering holding swimming events in that sewer?

Yep, at least our harbour will get a tidal flush. The Seine is just accumulated flow from tributaries and street gutters. So even if it is flushed, it might be flushed with more poo water.

Do they have a plan B ?

Yes, they are praying to them/they.

Teremoana made Aussie boxing history by being the first Super Heavy to win a fight at the Olympics. He did so in style, stopping his Ukrainian opponent in the first round.

Unfortunately he’s received a dud draw and will face 2 x Olympic champion Bakhodir Jalalov next. If he does manage to get through him, a gold beckons.

Tough to see Garside bow out. Horrible matchup for him. That guy was very unorthodox and ugly.
Garside should have another go in 4 years.

Because snowflakes overreacting about religious stuff shits me.... Kind of similar to how in your post you wrote about how you feel about Muslims reacting over depictions of Mohammad.
I can tell you one thing for sure, he wasn’t some man dressed like a woman or a fat Lesbian.
I'm simply pointing out that you're reacting over people supposed disrespecting (for two seconds) an inaccurate painting created 1500 years after the event.

Mocking (or more likely, paying a modern tribute to) the renaissance painting isn't mocking the religion itself. Your hatred of men dressed as women and fat lesbians, doesn't seem very... Christian. WWJD?
