    Are you entitled to a decent meal for a FIVER ?

    Except at the greatest Thai restaurant in Melbourne ::Smile Thai:: $6.50 for a meal with rice. That's all of about three quid.

    Sour Grapes from the Aussies

    Not at all. I dont think they have been any worse than usual (test cricket not withstanding) Theres quite a bit of history with Jana Pitman as she was going back to Sydney 2000 i believe. That was before she married an Englishman and moved to Blighty... She didn't play the media game over...

    Sour Grapes from the Aussies

    We, Tyrone? You been sucked in? And yes, Australia's lowly place on the medal table is causing much wailing and wringing of hands. Of course, it is all to do with lottery money that GB is winning stuff. Phone in Poll on Channel 7 the other day "Is Olympic Gold worth $1billion?"

    Paul Reid WAS offered a new deal...

    Can't blame him, i suppose. Be interesting to see if he gets picked up by an A League club. Can't see Melbourne or Sydney being interested. Be good to see him play live, even if he aint wearing the stripes.

    zero drink drive policy announced, but just for young drivers?

    http://www.tacsafety.com.au/upload/videos/TAC_levels.html is the latest anti DD ad. Cant believe people think that a zero limit is unworkable. Surely it is the best way to know if you are over the limit or not. If you've been drinking then you are over. if i have had a big night the night...

    zero drink drive policy announced, but just for young drivers?

    Not sure to where you are referring Pavillionaire, but Melbourne is rammed with great pubs and bars - even in the town centre!

    zero drink drive policy announced, but just for young drivers?

    of course the best option would be to have a zero BAC limit for all drivers, but this just wont happen. The next best thing is to firstly differentiate between young and experienced drivers by making them have a 'P' on their cars for the first 2 or 3 years of driving. Then, as in Australia...

    Summer Heights High

    Was huge in Oz over last summer. Caused a bit of controversy, too with the media picking up on similarities between a girl dying after an E and the plot of the show. Won a couple of awards and was filmed in a suburb of Melbourne called Brighton! One of the better Aussie produced shows last...

    Y is the Left so silent on ZIMBABWE.

    This interview with Zimbabwe's TOURISM minister (bet he is a busy bloke) made me laugh and almost cry at the same time http://mpegmedia.abc.net.au/newsradio/audio/20080619-zim.mp3 Such a shame that there is no genuine incentive to intervene in any meaningful way over there.

    Aussie Rules

    Not me! When i landed in Oz in 2001 I stayed with the then g/f's family in Geelong. Her old man bought me a membership and i was hooked. They were rubbish then, but stuck with the coach while many others were calling for his head. I saw G Ablett Jr's and Jimmy Bartel's debut's...

    Aussie Rules

    it is quite an entertaining game to watch. Impossible to deny the athleticism, fitness, strength and skill of the top level players. it is a Victorian game and features as highly in the media here as the real footy does in England. I live down the road from the MCG and have attended quite a...
