Turnbull is a classic champagne socialist.

Really, calling people hideous and horrible is nothing to do with research. Anyone can do that. Based on what I've seen of Murdoch over time, he's a businessman and an opportunist and that is his major influence. If I wanted to name call, there are many people I would personally put in the...

All this "hideous human" and "preying on the weak" stuff misses the point. Murdoch is a businessman and a very successful one. Whoever said business was ethical? He does what it takes to increase business. He makes alliances, promotes certain people and makes a populist call on issues to sustain...

On the first point, I wouldn't brag about it.

Australia in at number 12. New Zealand is happier because the Wallabies always end up under All Black boots.

I'm honoured to be an honorary member but I want full status. Guess I'd better start some serious contradicting here but stop short of nailing the point. I assume sydney is the Godfather of Australian NSC members? Clearly syd, you know how to press all the right buttons, in time worn Aussie fashion.

As a wannabe member of the NSC Resident Australian Nutters' Club, what do I need to do to join?

"Sweet Caroline" is just dreadful. Hey Jude is a great song but it's been done to death. There have literally been millions of songs written and performed over time, so with a little imagination people could come up with songs that really add to the Seagulls experience.

I watched the final with a frickin' Port Power supporter and even he got into it. Assume you're a Cats man?

Hmm...some of their supporters not quite so wonderful.

Yeah...OK I take your point. The point I was trying to make albeit clumsily was that their glory days when Grimsby was probably the biggest fishing port on the planet, are well behind them.

Gotta luv those Grimsby boys and all their wonderful supporters. All the best for the future!

Mostly true except for the last para, 'cos Australia didn't bomb Lebanon or destroy their society. Didn't put them in misery at all but they sure as hell brought a lot of it with them.

It's often kids with druggie parents, who get high or drunk at home and don't give a stuff about what their kids are up to. Homes where the father has gone for good and the mother is battling to keep things going are also part of the mix. It's all a bit sad however, that doesn't excuse it.

This game is football at its very best. It's the Seagulls, who have taken a long and winding road to the upper reaches of the Premier League, playing a team from a downtrodden coastal town that's seen better days. If we were to lose (hopefully, there's not a significant chance of that) I would...

Looking at Manchester City's form, getting into the top four in the Premier League is now a more realistic goal for BHAFC than winning the FA Cup. We can live in hope though that Man City have an injury ridden, red card plagued off day in the FA Cup semi-finals against a team that isn't us. We...

It's interesting to read the discussion here about the Albanian involvement in crime in your country. Seems fairly similar to something that began in Australia back in the days of Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser in the 1970's. To cut a very long and more complex story short, during the Lebanese...

Indeed. It's much bigger than an "effect on society" though. It's a world-wide blight that's largely destroyed some countries in Latin America for example. Never thought I would think these thoughts, but it may be that legalizing so-called recreational drugs would be the lesser of two evils, the...

I admit to being superstitious, but you're suggesting supersticious people could have second thoughts about the poll so it looks like I'm safe (sorry, couldn't resist the smart arsed pedanticism, because the opportunity is screaming out from a heading in big bold letters that basically...

Oh c'mon....you must have gotten into the world cup when it was on....surely?
