Re: All Over But The Sailing (h/t NYTimes)

The best part is that there were more Australians on board Oracle than Americans - including the skipper. (A fact that will really irk my Kiwi friends, but not as much as the monumental CHOKE!)

Dennis Connor would be ashamed....

I can't see there being too many of us around wait for the 2113 songs - maybe we will all be heads in jars like Futurama?

Re: Floribbean shrimp/island rice recipe

May I enquire about one of the ingredients?

What exactly is instant rice?

Is it pre-cooked or something?

Well that is until it goes to court to argue some point of minutia which means even fewer people will give a rats about the result.

Thanks for the memories, Slim.

I will raise a glass of Bundy this evening, in your honour.

Re: I can't believe it has been ten years

He should have a few videos out there...

Over 100 albums in 60 odd years of recording.

All of those albums were with one label. EMI.

You don't get that kind of loyalty from a label anymore :)

(Unless you own the label I guess)

I can't believe it has been ten years

September 19 marks the tenth anniversary of the passing of David Gordon Kirkpatrick* AO, MBE. It seems like just yesterday that I worked a few gigs with the great man. Closer to 15 years in actual fact. On Friday I guess I'll have a rum or two and listen to a couple of albums as a nod to him. * You ...

Re: BR's 5 Bean Sweet chili, How do you make yours???

Why do you guys use packet chilli mixes? They are just a bunch of spices and some other chemicals you really don't need in your system. Why not work out a custom spice blend? Plenty of room for experiment, cheap and a great excuse for a get together... My mixes start with the basics: Cinnamon Corian...

Re: God Bless Gene Simmons (KISS)

He makes some bad points too. Basically saying that the media gave Vick a pass or that everybody thinks Aaron Hernandez is cool is pretty stupid. I don't hate Tebow but I think he's a terrible NFL qb. If anything, his views are the only reason he's relevant, not his play. I think he should try the ...

Me too.

I am genuinely confused. As outsiders we get a different view via different news services and the like so I do wonder what it looks like closer to the action.

What is POTUSA Thinking?

This is a serious question. I am NOT trying to take the mickey or simply stir the pot. I genuinely want to know. Syria. It is an internal, civil war. Bad things have happened. You guys are $16 trillion in debt, a lot of which is due to some pretty unpopular wars in the Middle East. Yet POTUSA wants ...

Suddenly my duty was clear

Here in the Land of Oz we are facing a Federal Election this weekend. Now unlike the U.S. we have compulsory voting here. Which means I was facing the prospect of voting for a party I hate or a party I despise. That was then. This is now... Enter the "Australian Pirate Party" How can I res...
