  1. Too vague really. If you google both those names individually there's nothing obvious to me.
  2. Major fail.....Robert Thompson is who is being talked about......
  3. But he's not exercising that clause because: a) He has failed a medical at WHU b) He's on a massive, massive contract and nobody else will pay him that kind of money. Bit of a Winston Bogarde type scenario...which would be amusing!
  4. How do you know his name then?
  5. I love NSXs - supposed to be the supercar your granny can drive. £1k for insurance on the AMG isn't bad.
  6. Must admit I do like them. The servicing isn't that bad considering what you're getting. What sort of quote have you had for insurance? Tyres I would imagine would be mental and don't know what sort of miles you'd expect to get out of them.
  7. I'd be looking into servicing costs, tyres, brakes, exhaust etc, etc before going there. I'm imagining they're going to be immense.
  8. Can you play online with someone with Tiger 10?
  9. I've always worried about people who do this....too much camouflage gear and, next thing you know, they 'go postal'
  10. That is indeed the ass end of nowhere.
  11. So, just to be clear, you were wrong. Badly.
  12. I think the King Cobra is the most deadly snake in the world, but it's not the most poisonous. Basically, it bites a lot of people in poor areas who have no access to anti-venom.
  13. Nuked the minefield of ants nests that appeared in the driveway with the white powder earlier. They came from bloody nowhere....but they aint so happy anymore
  14. 11's taken....it's obvious that Killer is coming to reclaim it....
  15. To Rock Hudson? Weird...
  16. No, you're thinking of Graham Norton
  17. FFS, there we go again...adding the facts to their dream of promotion. Next think you know there'll be a skate on here claiming Smith has spent his entire career banging the goals in for top flight clubs...oh.
  18. Love Australia. Lived in Melbourne for a year in 1995 and it's a great place - do the Great Ocean Road, Penguins on Philip island and Dandenongs. If wildlife parks are your thing, Healesville is a must (in the Dandenongs). Get down the MCG for the Aussie Rulese - Carlton v Collingwood is the biggest regular season game and is a sell out. 100k + in 'The G' is some experience. Tasmania for natural beauty would be high on the list. Cradle Mountain and Strahan (for the seaplane flight over the wilderness) are great. Cairns and Darwin, as has been posted before, get up there in our summer as Nov - Feb it's stinking hot (as I know to my cost). You don't see the crocs in the rivers around Cairns in January (Daintree River) as they're all at the bottom because it's too hot. You could, of course, dangle your hand in the water for a guaranteed sighting! Perth - agree with slickmick as I got bitten to death in Kings Park one evening. Adelaide - really nice and just like a big country town. Didn't go to Canberra as everyone said it was a complete dive. Brisbane - worth the visit to go up to Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo in Beerwah, couple of hours north. It will have changed hugely in the last 15 years as he was relatively unknown outside of Australia back then. I had the fortune of tagging along as he was giving an interview to a reporter and photographer (clearly that won't be an opportunity for you, unfortunately). Noosa and Sunshine Coast were good. My wife went to the Gold Coast and said it was a bit like Spain with the high rises on the beach. Broome and the Kimberly Range (between Darwin and Perth). Bloody hot, but a dry heat so not as bad as Darwin. Lots to see around there if you want to get out and about for a few days. Alice Springs - not what I was expecting as it's surprisingly hilly around there and it's not quite the old frontier town you think it will be. Worth a look if you're going to Ayers Rock. We took a bus from Ayers Rock to Kings Canyon and on to Alice - well worth it.....but they're not as close as you think....300 miles, plus probably another 150 if you go to Kings Canyon.
  19. Inter-raling would be a good crack. Personally, 6 weeks travelling Australia would be the dogs. Been all round there and loved it. Granted I was gone a year but you'd have a great 6 weeks - depends on budget. I would do Australia over NZ too. NZs great, but Australia offers more IMO. Also, going across the summer, you'll be getting some pretty ordinary weather in NZ, whereas in Australia the far north will be the best time to go.
  20. All gone quiet...what's going on?
  21. This should help. 4 cans of beer for all domestic games except T20 (which I'm going to tomorrow so it's full price beer for me:( ) http://www.rosebowlplc.com/pages/domestic-ground-regulations/
  22. He said 'players'....Todd simply doesn't fit that description
