HJ, don't forget the Strain, really enjoyed that offbeat horror

Waiting for Season 2 , best of those series for a long time

Yeah, forgot about The Strain. I agree, good show.

 

[Haynzy]

Saul Berenson is one of my favourite characters of all time, and the wife of Brody (who was in Firefly) is a f**king tasty little thing. So is Claire Danes. Doesn't have the titties but is still a good looking woman.

Peter Quinn is a great character, too. Excellent show.

Good to hear about Black Sails, too. Speaking of fine pieces of meat, that French prostitute is on my list.

Agreed on Saul, Mrs Brody and Clare Danes.
I loved Seasons 1 and 2 of Homeland. I still need to catch up on the rest.

How do you people get so much time to watch so much tele.?
I can understand HJ, 'cause he's just a bum. But the rest of you?

HmmOK

Nick Kyrgios's courtside interview was about as arrogant as an 85-year-old deaf lady selling sponge cake at a church fete.

Josh Massoud‏@josh_massoud15m15 minutes ago
And so it begins. The tall poppy brigade set their sights on @NickKyrgios. Cocky? Who cares if he has ability and charisma to back it up.

Agree Josh, the merkins line up for a shot.

I don't get it!

Why don't pollies ever just say 'hmmm, yeah, we had a so-so year. Here are the things we need to do better this year, but hey, look at these things we did well'

[note: that assumes there was something they did well during the year - surely every government does SOMETHING good??]

I hope the Libs don't replace him this far out from an election....Give the arrogant bastard more time to take the Titanic closer to the Iceberg....
He could emulate John Howard, and hopefully Campbell Newman in losing both his seat and government..Bernie Banton (RIP) must be laughing in his grave....

I thought the LNP was increasing their lead in QLD recently?

lolirony

It's okay for politicians but not for sportsmen hey?

#hypocrite

 

[Gronk]

LOL no idea.

A young tennis player was tired after a 3/4 hour match and because he didn't want to stop and chat for 40 mins all of a sudden he's a show pony.

This has to do with politics how Pou ?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Some people are held up to public scrutiny due to their jobs, Gronk. Good to see you'll make excuses for some of them.

As we all know, these high profile people are in difficult jobs where they are not only directly opposed and hindered by other high profile people, but also by elements outside of their control, including a bloodthirsty media portraying the complexity of life as a simple narrative. It's good to see you recognise that, at least when it comes to some.

But of course others are just evil and stupid aren't they? Imbecile.

Life aint that black and white mate. You're just trying to start an argument for the sake of arguing. Count me out.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Life ain't black and white, except when you want to put shit on a politician. Like I said, you're a hypocrite.

Tony Abbott has put his hand up to lead our country - and to get paid massively for it, as well as enjoy all the trappings of the most powerful (theoretically) man in Australia. I think he's fair game for criticism. Last I looked, sportsmen don't run the country and make decisions that directly or indirectly affect our lives. If a tennis player promises he's going to adopt a certain course of action and then changes his mind, it doesn't really matter much in the grand scheme of things. A Prime-Minister, though? Different situation altogether.
