Bev looks like he has been hitting the gym pretty hard. Come round 1 I think he'll be the perfect size for fullback.

I think in the video it said that he did it in about 59 mins and the fastest time was 34 mins which I believe was Gutherson.

I was pacing myself Twiz, i had the cricket to go too. Mid strength Beer really is the pits :(


The fun police are out to 'kill' little communities by the insistence of serving MID STRENGTH BEER only.
The Hay Cup Racing meeting - which is the biggest event of a small community and brings many visitors and plenty of 'outside' dollars into the town's economy, has been sabotaged by the FUN POLICE (aka Baird Lib/Nat Goivernment) by the insistence that only MID STRENGTH alcohol be served to ADULTS by RSA approved bar people, over seen by RSA approved security guards @ $60 per hour), who are inturn over seen by three RSA supervisor police, who ensure alcohol in hired marquees is only handed to patrons of the hired marquees by accredited RSA people..(Noooo, you can't get your own, it has to be opened and handed to you!!!!).
People no longer can take responsibility for their own actions..Talk about opening a walnut with a sledge hammer...Bloody disgrace, and it will get worse if people are prepared to roll over and 'cop it'...First they came for the greyhounds, then they came for the trotters, then they came for the punters, who is gonna be next.
NANNY STATE RULES.....

It's a shame so many muppets can't control themselves and ruined it for everyone. Still saw merkins who were blind drunk at the Manuka ODI being ejected....I've never understood why people go to sporting events just to get ratfaced drunk...it's f**king expensive and surely you want to remember going. Unless it's a Parra game I suppose

I agree by the end of the night there were pissed clowns all over the place. Don't understand it either, I'm not a big beer drinker especially mid strength crap. Still had a cracking day so much Garrrrrrrrrrrry fun to be had.

That's so true mate.
I've done hundreds of gigs at festivals and wineries over the years and the amount of people that can't control their alcohol intake is insane.
I'm no wowser and am always up for a drink and a bit of fun but when you see so many people so maggoted that they lose control of their faculties, walking around drinking $60 bottles of wine like stubbies while the majority can have a few drinks, enjoy the wine and have a fun day you have to wonder what's going on. Some of the stuff I've seen at what are supposed to be classy events just makes you shake your head.

I also get where Pete's coming from, the amount of nanny state regulations that are brought in that in the end just make it so difficult for the wineries to even put events on is getting out of hand.

Like you said, it's a few ruining it for the majority.

The law states alcohol must be served by a RSA accredited person on a licenced premises
The bar at the race track is licenced, and served by RSA accredited person...
Why the difference in servicing laws, ie why is one permitted to serve full strength and the other only MID STRENGTH..That's what I can't understand.
Would these laws be implemented at MAJOR racing carnivals...like Melbourne Cup...
Nanny State rules are killing off people's right to make decisions

My point is, if we keep letting Governments "think' for us, and determine what is right for us, we will always be under the pump.

People no longer are prepared to accept be told they are not adult enough to make their own decisions
We would be a much better world if everyone expressed their honest opinion about everything and anything that they deal with in their daily lives. We don’t even need to have an opinion anymore, let alone express.....if you want to know what I think just check it out in the Media........it knows absolutely everything about everything.

How in God’s name do we ever develop any degree of personal responsibility for our actions when the opportunity is continually being taken away from us by people who for some unknown reason believe they need to make decisions for us poor undeveloped lesser beings who don’t know how to make a responsible decision.


In an honest world we would well know that we make the decisions for ourselves and wear the responsibility for them.........Taking away my right to do just that is an abuse of my human rights, and does nothing to help any of us grow and develop in a responsible human being.
