Look, we all hate each other, and for good reason. We all fight, but we have been fighting extra hard lately. I blame Des. With Christmas approaching, I think we need a good thread. One with good news and good stories to cheer everyone up. So post whatever good news reports you see or good...

This thread is for banter around any English Premier League team. Keep it relatively simple but feel free to throw the banter around. Pick on Man U, pick on Liverpool, probably don't pick on Arsenal as it's basically flogging a dead horse at this stage. This thread was created to keep other...

The Covid-19 thread is meant to be about Covid-19 information. It's getting spammed with misinformation and debates. If you want to argue vaccines, proven or unproven treatments, and other Covid-19 related stuff. Keep it in this thread. The main Covid-19 thread is for discussion of the actual...

Beer, whiskey, did we all forget about Rum? None of that rubbish Australian stuff (Bundy makes me sick). I'm talking real rum with tasty carribean spices. This is my favourite. Coincidentally, it's also my NHL team who have just entered the comp (Seattle Krakens)

There's a book thread, a TV show thread, a movie thread, several music threads, why not a podcast thread for the people too lazy to read. Post any podcast recommendations you have. I listen to about 50 different podcasts but here's a few of my favourites: The Infinite Monkey Cage (BBC) Good...

A thread for the discussion of Australian politics. Have at it. Friendly discussions. Keep it on topic. No abusing each other for differences of opinion, but feel free to debate those differences of opinion until your heart's content.

Occasionally a song comes along that's so bad that it could result in the end of society as we know it. A song so devastatingly terrible that the only hope for humanity is if we all hear it so we can all suffer together. This is that song. Don't get me wrong. I still love Shakira and plan to...

I'm posting this because I know someone on here is going to post it and use it to attack Muslims suggesting that all Muslims are evil, so I thought I would get ahead of it. But I should also put in my point of view. I believe that anyone who is Muslim should publicly come out criticising this...

Wooodies! Sorry. Getting excited. Now days it's rare one of my teams makes it. Rugby Union Shute Shield Grand Final is Eastwood vs Gordon. I fully expect Wooodies to get smashed but they made it after an extra time thriller against Norths today. Grand Final is next Saturday.

Chadwick Boseman, actor that played Black Panther, passed away due to cancer. Personally I thought the Black Panther movie was a little overrated but still a very good movie and it's a pity there won't be more...

Elon Musk streamed his neuralink presentation about an hour ago. It went for a fair while, but here's a cut down version of it. The main takeaway from it is that they believe it can be used to control robotic limbs/exoskeleton, among other things.

Nothing new here, just a rather entertaining article from The Roar where they compare the Hasler situation to the recent Dual Citizenship political situation and take the piss as much as possible...

We all know how much the Bulldogs suck right now and the Eels sucked tonight too. Slightly less than we sucked, but they sucked. But that's not the point. The point is that Dropbear watched this game from above and his Eels got a win. That goes for all the Eels fans here. While we've been...

So.. basically just finished watching the second US Presidential Debate and Trump laid some heavy smack down on Clinton. Trump came in with heavy ammunition and Hillary freaked out a bit. Looked like she was on the verge of shutting down and by the end Trump had her on the ropes.

AFTER months of speculation, Geoff Toovey has been sacked by Manly. As reported by the Daily Telegraph on Friday, Toovey is the casualty of a difficult season for the Sea Eagles in which they are poised to miss the semi0finals for the first time since 2004. Toovey will coach out the...

My professional footage of the Bulldogs Live Site at Belmore. The atmosphere here is electric. Last call there was 4,000 but the crowd has at least doubled since then. Gotta give kudos to the two Bunnies supporters standing up the front. They have balls. http://youtu.be/UUzEG8l7R1Y

Heard an interesting interview with the man who makes the Grand Final rings. He also that the value of the rings change each year and this year they're worth about $7800 each. The radio host was a Bunnies supporter and he said "Could you maybe put a bit of red and green in the rings" and the...

Very tight lipped as usual. They asked who would play hooked and he said "me". He went on to say that he has options. The rest was pretty standard. One thing I didn't like, Des said that a lot can come down to the refs too. He mentioned how we got about double the penalties blown on Saturday...

Figured since everyone keeps arguing over "X half doesn't pass the ball, or take on the line, or whatever" and since I was bored I decided to go through the replay of the game and list down each touch the halves made along with a few other things. Threw in some Ennis stats for fun. (as a side...
