Did you know that they sell tools in Bunnings? (See the Sam Kekovich Australia Day ad - it’s very good).
Geelong has an unusually high number of pasty, white, ranga’s!
The team that has had Mark Yeates, Barry Stoneham, Neil Bruns, Robert Neal, Damien Bourke and Cameron Ling? Shocked

Wasn’t it Neville Bruns and Neil Burns. Maybe not Neil
You’re right, Neville Bruns who had his jaw broken by Lethal, but Robert ‘Scratcher’ Neal

I don’t recall him as being a redhead
Bruns did deserve to have his jaw broken.
Game at Waverley in the 80s. Bruns sniped Billy Duckworth and Billy wanted revenge. Both coaches wanted their offenders off. Billy chased Bruns off and about 5 Cats came at him. Clocked the lots.
Daryl Somers was apoplectic and wanted Billy sent to The Hague on Hey Hey It’s Saturday that night. He was a year ahead of me at school and his name there wasn’t Somers. Never could stand him. Big Geelong fan.

Probably right, replace him with Gary Rohan
- 26 can be read as “fu-ro” (風呂), meaning “bath”. Public baths in Japan have reduced entry fees on the 26th day of every month.
- 29 can be read as “ni-ku” (肉), meaning “meat”. Restaurants and grocery stores have special offers on the 29th day of every month.
- 634 can be read as “mu-sa-shi”. The Tokyo Skytree’s height was intentionally set at 634 meters so it would sound like Musashi Province, an old name for the area in which the building stands.
- 3.14159265, the first nine digits of pi, can be read as “san-i-shi-i-ko-ku-ni-mu-kou” (産医師異国に向こう), meaning “an obstetrician faces towards a foreign country”.

Seriously surprised that Darryl went to school. Surely not secondary school.
Today I learnt that guerilla warfare has nothing to do with the fighting style of our simian cousins , but is of Spanish origin meaning little war. Used against Napoleon’s forces.

I am bored and using AI to do this with the least threatening franchises I can think of. So today I learned…
In a bloodlusted battle royale between all Muppets (The Muppets, Sesame Street, and potentially extended Jim Henson properties), the winner is likely
The Great Gonzo
, though several magical contenders from
Sesame Street
provide stiff competition.
The Top Contenders
(Winner):
possesses extreme durability and physics-defying feats. He has survived being shot out of cannons, riding rockets at extreme speeds, skydiving without a parachute, and being stretched on a rack—which he claimed only “tickled”. He has also hypnotized himself to lift 5,000lb weights and can “be anything he wants,” giving him the highest “Toon Force” potential to survive a bloodlusted environment.

Good shout.
I thought Sweetums or Snuffie might have a chance (bloodlusted) but those two (Gonzo and Harry) definitely have feats.

If it was without Harry’s bombs, Sweetums I’d mighty good chance. But I’d have to rule out Snuffy on a technicality: he doesn’t exist. He is Big Birds imaginary friend.
Animal is also a formidable foe…
