Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted July 26, 2011 For those of you interested in Australian Rock, here is a whole smorgasboard of Cold Chisel/Jimmy Barnes songs. You will either love them or hate them. (Apparently our American cousins just don't "get" them at all): Standing on the Outside: Cheap Wine: Forever Now: Merry-Go-Round: You Got Nothing I Want (an anti-American rant ): Home and Broken-Hearted: Bow River: Wild Colonial Boy: Saturday Night: Flame Trees: Letter to Alan: The Only One: Hold Me Tight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWpzkO47jaw To finish with, here is one of Barnes' solo songs, "Lay Down Your Guns": 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I did read it, not looking good for him at all. As far as "tanking" is concerned, I struggle to understand why a club (in any sport) would intentionally loose in order to pick up the top draft picks for the year. Then come back the following season, and the one after that and the one after that, and perform just as badly as they did before - a waste of young talented players. Number one pick should go to number nine on the ladder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Number one pick should go to number nine on the ladder. Doesn't look like the latest round of surgery went very well. Surgeons will now explore other treatment options in the fight to save the Melbourne Football Club president after the difficult decision not to remove the tumour. Stynes is recovering after exploratory surgery yesterday with medical staff at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre still grappling with exactly how to treat the remaining cancer.

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted August 18, 2011 There was a fairly big/shock death here last night with a well-known television news reporter/documentary maker, Paul Lockyer, and his crew being killed in a helicopter crash: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-08-18/abc-...ke-eyre/2845962 EDIT: Update: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-08-19/top-...ed-dead/2846314 As a point of trivia, it is ten days short of the tenth anniversary of Skyhooks' lead singer Graeme "Shirley" Strachan's own helicopter crash death so we were overdue for another celebrity to go down in one. In a strange coincidence, Skyhooks were inaugurated into the National Film and Sound Archive's historical register yesterday: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-08-17/skyh...stralia/2844238 For those of you who don't know the legendary Skyhooks, here is a good introductory article (doesn't go up to Shirl's death though): http://www.abc.net.au/rage/guest/2001/skyhooks.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
