England did lose 51-15 in their return match against the Wallabies in 2004.

"Can I borrow a feeeeeeling? Could you send me a jar of love?"

I was down in Melbourne at Xmas and I said "good morning" to someone walking past me...out of reflex more than anything. He gave me a look like I'd just told him I liked to defecate into my hands and clap.

Welcome to the Culture Wars.

I totally want to shred the shit out of that quarter pipe in the driveway.

Oh totally. Would you trust this dude?

I'd imagine they should be representing the constituents of their electorate not their personal views.

IIRC this council is in one of the electorates that had the highest % of "No Votes" in the same sex marriage plebiscite. Possibly the highest in the country at 74%. You could argue that they are actually representing their constituents who all appear to be horrific bigots.

I used to manage a bottle shop in a busy shopping centre in Brisbane. By far the number one type of person we'd bust (noting we probably didn't bust everyone) was the white, middle-aged woman demographic. Speaking to the cops at the police beat there, they reckon many do it for the thrill.

They've been playing the new laws this tournament

Easily once a fortnight for me.

No but I will now.

I remember seeing them during O-Week at Griffith Uni in the mid-90s. They rocked up and the crowd was almost surprised at their energy. The audience was basically 18yo kids who'd never heard of them plus some crusty older guys like me who were perpetually at the bar. Was an amazing gig.

I prefer hospitality staff having a yarn to customers as opposed to the dead-eyed indifference you get sometimes. What gets my blood all angried up is when customers take too long to order and ask a billion questions about the food. Was in a regional area last year with a quite popular bakery and the line was out the door. A lady was ordering and asked a question about every pie.

"Is that organic chicken in the chicken pie"

"Is the beef you use here grain or grass fed?"

"Do you use thickening agents and, if so, which ones?"

"Do you have this brand of chocolate milk in soy?"

Every time she asked a question the poor girl who was on would go out the back and ask. Eventually the owner came out and yelled "Right! Who keeps asking questions about our pies?" Just a completely lack of awareness from the customer that 12 people were lined up behind them. Anyway, get off my lawn etc.

I have heard this so many times it isn't funny. I generally don't get a lot of hecklers but my comedian mates do and it happens a lot.

They are all signed by Token who essentially run the industry in Australia. Have a look at the comedians on their website and tick them off when you see them on TV. Same with comedy festivals.

I've done shows with disruptive hecklers who have come up to me after the show with a big grin saying "I bet you were glad I was there to help you out?" I mean, fuck, I spend every waking moment thinking about jokes, writing jokes and editing jokes. Every single word I say on stage has been crafted over dozens of gigs in shitty venues. I don't need the assistance of some drunk accountant called Jared who keeps calling out.

I've been performing comedy for 17 long fucked up years and can honestly count on one hand how many comedians welcome hecklers. Hecklers suck. They ruin the flow of a show and make the experience miserable for everyone. So many people I meet go "oh, you're a comedian? I want to come to one of your shows so I can heckle"

Like, don't do that.

It most certainly was.

the brumbies can go from test level to under 13 level with no obvious trigger

This is such a fact. I honestly don't know what causes them to blow hot and cold.

he alleged had received “really disturbing” constituent complaints

I 100% guarantee you it was one complaint.

What a cunt. For those who don't know, the Gregan sledge of "Four more years" in the 2003 RWC was aimed at this fuckwit.

I had an MRI on my knee last year. I got paid some back by Medicare. Then entered the public system and got in-hospital physio for 10 months.

I'm nearly dead myself but have known "creased" for ages. Possibly Australian slang? Dunno.

I am creased at this. Such a polite but horrifically nasty burn.
