I don't believe it- but now you are calling me a perennial offender @YoungWillz Should I be worried that your anger will evolve into punishment? Am I now due to have my sexy ass smacked hard??!! Don't assume I would regard that as a punishment You are always ahead of the curve GC, that's all. If you stuck with some of your picks, who knows? If you get that right, you could win that damn DDP game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of careful thinking and consideration required when I put together next years teams. I did notice though that you didn't deny you were going to smack my ass hard as punishment....

TylerTheCreator 37 Posted October 8 John Laws (89) has announced his retirement after 71 years on the airwaves. Doesn't seem like the sort of thing he'd do absent of fairly significant health/ageing related factors. John Farnham's (74) voice has been heard publicly for the first time in 2+ years, following his cancer surgery. Doesn't sound too bad considering the circumstances: https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/hear-john-farnhams-voice-post-cancer-surgery/video/fcd16f484c1715c7cdbfeb8727ba32cc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The general consensus here in Oz is shock - shock that he might actually be held accountable while still alive. Shall we do a sweeps on what diagnoses he's going to get over the next weeks/months that'll disrupt the trial? Dementia's got to be coming in fast. PS one of my claims to infamy is I bumped into him at a restaurant and got a photo with him, which I then posted as a wind-up only to be censored by Meta several months later. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PS one of my claims to infamy is I bumped into him at a restaurant and got a photo with him, which I then posted as a wind-up only to be censored by Meta several months later. Supposedly, he has cancer. I don't even believe it's true - or at least exaggerated. But I still believe that he'll escape most of the punishment "naturally". And he's 83 years old. Australia just had a similar case with swimming coach Dick Caine. Now, Dick Caine was already too sick for trial 2023, but only died in 2024. Still, Alan Jones in 2025, is kind of likely, in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
