First topic message reminder :

Soft thread split, hard thread split, no-deal thread split. Who gives a sh!t as long as we get a thread split by the 8:31 deadline.

Ooh, hello, I'll have a fist please.

Ill be sick.

Morning, good weekend? Anyone bothering with the Trump thread split today?

Morning, good weekend and yourself? Will keep an eye on the Trump thread hoping for a Julius spectacular.

But the lesser 'fly's posts make it difficult to maintain an interest.

That guy is either a decent wind up merchant, or just has some issues going on.

Not sure I want to become known as the sad poster who hangs around the site waiting for thread splits.

Think of yourself as an assassin, Julius.

They're just unreadable drivel.

He needs a damn good hard border. That'll learn him... as he likes to say.

I had a fantastic weekend down on the border. Some very nice pretty little towns which appear to be unaffected by ice addiction on the surface.

So lush out there on the plains... the country looks so beautiful. It's hard to believe the state was 97% drought affected not so long ago.

In Kashmir if you live fairly high up the side of a mountain you can watch the landscape turn green as the rains sweep past. A couple of times theres been rains but theres gaps in the cloud so it's so evenly striped that it looks like someone painted it that way. Doesn't take much to bring a dead countryside to life. How goes it notches?

Good thanks, Shah, and yourself?

Nice description, sound like the opening paragraph of a book.

Buenos no(t)ches.

I was watching a program with Swedish subtitles and learnt that their word for possums is pungråttor; which also roughly translates as "pouch rats".
Just thought you notches would like to know. I'm going to start calling selected individuals pungråtta (sing.) from now on. See if it catches on.

Spoons, doesn't do much well, food wise, but the Sriracha sauce they use is lovely.

Afternoon Shah/Galts/Jules/Peej, how goes it?

A bout of man flu and the absence of family means that not in a good way. They're away for 6 weeks so just sitting around waiting for the flu to pass so I can make the most of it. Finish work on the 16th. I see that Julius is still alive and kicking, the man is a miracle of modern alchemy. How goes life with agent galtova and Galted Junior the first?

Couldn’t be better, living out my dream of working in a basement and living in a one-bed flat. Galted/Julius jr is good, started biting me when he’s got the hump and hitting me over the head with his toys, going the way of Tino.

Try calling Goose that, I would expect a satisfying pompous response.

How do you sing 'pungråtta'?

Can you hear the drums pungråtta...?
I remember long ago the fields were full of your offspring...
(flute harmonies, etc)

Excellent work on the Tennis section Galted, though I may ban you just for the fun of it.

Cheers, Julius.  Let me know if you want to make an example of me and I'll add some aggressive wumming.

Another double-fisting for me, and I survived an afternoon on the tennis boards. What a week!

Morning Galted. You did well on the tennis boards... you more than held your own serve.

But how about us being called an "echo chamber"?



I mean... hello?...............................hello?...hello?..hello?.hello?

I've been through the desert on Bertie with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain

Watching tennis.. I can't remember her name
'Cause there ain't no one who would Riske much more pain

He's had some 'work' published apparently. I can't say I've ever come across any of his published works.
There's more chance of a pompous pungråtta chewing a pen capturing my literary attention.

Forest Chump Fist

How goes it this morning?

Sick, notches, etc.

Just beat me to it Peej.

Is all well?

Yes thanks, Rick. All's well.

Just watching the sun go down over the fence... winter trees silhouetted against a pale orange-blue sky. My favourite bird perched on a bare branch.
All calm and serene.

The final Origin match is on in a few hours... not far from me. The lights have already been switched on I can see (from upstairs).

How are you... all good?

Not bad, mate.

Bit drab here today but end in sight for the red tape Olympics of internal audit, and caught up with some old friends last night which was nice, but possibly went bed a bit late as I am shattered.

Looking forward to and dreading the cricket this week as well.

Same here.

Just need to burst that blister... get it over and done with.
Then we can sit back and relax for the Ashes.

Ah, yes, the tiny trophy tourney, always a nice relaxing series.

Football is rubbish anyhoo at my sh1tshow of a club so I will hang my hat to any sport at the moment.

Think the netball world cup starts soon.

Action or Traditional netball?

Have to hand it to the Aussies, they know how to wear the trousers in the relationship.

I'll come back inside in a moment... it's getting a little cool now.

Not action netball, that is too edgy for mainstream viewing.

Out of interest, what is your favorite bird? Is it a breed, or a specific bird?

Crested pigeon. Looks quite lonely at times. It always hangs out on the same spot.

I see you got the Trump thread split, Peej, nice effort

Did I? I better go and look.

Colin Firth? Not sure that one works, but I’ve tried.

What are those really delightful red ones with the green and blue patches? Seem to be very common in Wollongong. A lovely sight, too

Could be either the crimson rosella or eastern rosella. If more green then probably the eastern.

Crimson rosella is the one! Lovely looking things.

Would just like to make you all aware that I am not Rip Torn

Oh no... don't tell me.

Norman Mailer will feel lost without his wrastling pardner.

Looks like I'm being made redundant

On here or in real life?

Real life

Sorry to hear that.

Oh no.

Don't panic, keep your chin up (even with a smile)... and you'll land on your feet again I'm sure, Jules.

Is that a good or a bad thing?

Bad. Can't afford to retire, but will probably be tough getting another decent, similar job at my age.

In that case, sorry to hear it old bean.

Though my mother recently got a decent job, the market is a lot more accommodating these days with the retirement age being pushed back.

Can you not role swap with someone who wants to go but isn't?
