    Soccer is a dangerous sport, a mate of mine got a black eye, a fractured jaw and concussion at soccer.

    Wow what happened?

    A fight broke out in the section he was sitting.

    Ta da

    Dont know if anyone is a golfer out there, but heres an idea you might want to try.
    Its called the "reverse overlap grip"
    Normal grip for a right handed player...right little finger over top of left first finger..
    Reverse that to be left first finger over right little finger....
    You will get about 10-15 yards more out of your shots...
    But be careful of your alignment, as you may tend to pull the ball left.
    If youre between clubs try the reverse overlap...(after practicing on the range to get it right and measuring the extra length for each club)
    Dont know if any pros use this technique...they might but keep it a secret...
    Its like carrying 24 clubs in the bag.....
    Also works when hitting into the wind....
    Gotta go now and watch "Vice" ....all about the pure as the driven snow oligarchs
    from the US of A.....

    Thought for the day....
    Did you know that all non muslims are apostates.....
    According to a hadith...sahih muslim book 033 number 6426..everyone comes into this world as a muslim...
    Therefore, if you believe this hadith...you are an apostate which is punishable by death...

    Men need time with other men to talk, build, and perfect their trades. It can be very therapeutic.

    We have a men's shed in town, a lot of the old buggers get around it.

    Well, as this thread is a non opinion thread, I thought Id take a few seconds to offer my deep felt gratitude
    to all the firefighters in Australia, risking their lives for their neighbours...
    All the men and women...all the indigenous and non indigenous men and women busting their butts, risking their lives...all the non muslim men and muslim men and women fighting fires throughout Australia....
    We are so proud of you...fighting side by side for the common cause.....
    Well done to all of you....
    Now Im back into my retirement....

    Yes we all get caught up in our lives and even though every night when we see the news I am reminded that while I complain of the heat between getting from the air con car to the air con house ,that thousands of people, men and women, old and young, all religions, all races are risking their lives to fight these fires.

    We do seriously need to look at better planning and management of these danger areas.

    It's all part of the "smoke and mirrors". The whole damn thing, this house of cards, is going to come crashing down around our ears shortly ... then they'll care!

    Great to see the bureaucrats at work in Townsville recently, waiting for high tide before they opened
    the dam...wouldnt it have been better to release the water at low tide....and perhaps let it out bit by bit earlier....considering that they have access to weather forecasts days and days ahead...
    The rain was never going to go away in a few hours....if we can fuk it up in Australia...we will....

    What a disgrace this is.
    Over 300 professional golfers, both men and women competing for the ISPA Handa Victoria Golf Open.
    Men competing for the mens title and women competing for the womens title all on the same four days. all on the same golf course.
    Of course the prizemoney is roughly equal between the men and women, but why is it necessary to have them all playing on the same course over the same four days.
    It wouldnt be just to appease the fukin women would it....
    I suppose in years to come all the majors and golf tournaments worldwide will be like this...
    Can you imagine the US Masters being played at Augusta, Georgia, with 150 men and 150 women
    all hitting off on the same day...
    What a fukin joke.....out the window goes tradition and in waddles the fukin women.....

    Looks like they're going to have an inquiry into the timing of the release of the water...
    Not going to help much now, but we can only hope that they dont gloss over the release of the water into a high tide...that sound pretty incompetent to me....

    Further to the above...I wonder how many insurance claims are rejected due to "force majeure"
    (the opening of the dam)

    Just for the Labor supporters....the following is a list of the Qld Labor Governments sales during the years
    2006 to 2011....
    2006 Allgas 235 million
    2006 SunRetail 1.2 billion
    2007 SunGas 75 million
    2007 Power Direct 1.2 billion
    2007 Golden Casket 530 million
    2007 Gas Assets and Enertrade 268 million
    2007 WinderEnergy Assets 460 million
    2008 Brisbane Airport 289 million
    2008 Cairns and Mackay Airports 738 million
    2010 Forestry Plantations 600 million
    2010 Port of Brisbane 2.1 billion
    2010 QR National 4 billion
    2011 Abbot Point Port 1.8 billion
    2011 Qld Motorways 3 billion

    Several questions need to be asked...
    Where has the money gone.....
    Why then was there a need for the Qld Government to raid super funds not long ago, stating that
    there was a surplus...which was bullshit as no super fund has a "surplus"...all the money in the fund is asset growth.......
    Was Qld in such a mess that these sales had to go ahead...what does that say for the rest of Australia....
    And we pay the salaries of these bastards......
    This list only goes to 2011...........

    Its crazy wet in southern california. Green with snow now.

    But lots of pest rodents and rabbits soon.

    But also coyotes, and predators are harder to get.

    It seems in Australia, there is no boundary to our cruelty and stupidity....
    Seen recently on the Gold Coast:
    Two teenage girls (presumably teenagers) standing on their skateboards, having their leashed
    dogs pull them along the walkway. As the skateboards moved away from the dogs, they bent at the waist and knees to simulate riding a surfboard to keep the leash tight....
    People stared in disgust, but unashamedly, they continued along for about a kilometre....
    Certainly hope it doesnt become popular....
    I once owned dogs...its bloody cruel.....

    Well another Rugby League great, Billy Slater has decided to open his pie hole, commenting about
    players behaving badly. It appears that he thinks that its a parenting problem, and the NRL is doing all it can
    to curb poor behaviour. Well, doesnt that suggest that a lot of our neanderthal football thugs have had poor parenting if Slater is correct...but arent they adults now.......
    Wouldnt have anything to do with having no brains, a huge ego and too many schooners now would it....
