Future Liberal voter?
COBL_04 said:Never. Ever. Sorry but my grandpa would rise out his grave and put me in it if I did that.

I heard they've talked about renaming themselves the Brave Blossoms, which just strikes me as even worse because it sounds so contrived ... and still not very threatening. Then again, can you really talk? You follow a team with the wimpy name of Rabbitohs in the wimpy version of rugby!
Axver said:What?! Was that an expected move? I mean, I haven't kept up with the V8 news - as I mentioned in my first post on this thread - so that took me by surprise. But were those of you following the racing also taken by surprise?
Good man.
fly so high! said:Well at least they are named after a animal and rabbits can be fierce, i had to get a tetanus once from a bunny scatch, what can blossoms do, unless you snap off a branch and start smackin' somone with it........ "The brave blossoms"
We should re-name the Wallabies the "Wobbly Wattles"
COBL_04 said:Well it wasn't completey unfounded... but it's mainly centers around the issues Tony Cochrane has with it. I like it. I hope he goes. I don't like him. But the alternative is John Hewson...
Do you think Kevin will win it?

I've no damn clue who either of those individuals are in your first paragraph. Does this just prove I'm out of it, or are you trying to out-obscure me to get back at my unheard-of music?
I think Kevin will get the majority of the vote, but due to seat distribution, that doesn't guarantee an election victory. I'm a little worried, but hesitantly optimistic.
PS, re "centers": American English = bad English. Centres = good English. (What? I had to get back at your Chisel/Barnsey nitpick. )

Get back at you.
Yeah I noticed that when I wrote it but didn't bother chanigng it and had to wash my hands after it.
Touche
fly so high! said:It would be grand if they could just put Bathurst in late October, November (There is nothing on at all for us in November!).......Bathurst always falls on our daughter's B'day.....so hubby has to miss her birthday every other year....he is not going to Bathurst this year. I don't mind Bathurst myself but Philamy Park is not a place for young families.
fly so high! said:The cars and their persons were searched. Although they missed dad's Baileys.
There are more sniffer dogs than ever.
1 carton of grog ONLY per person for entire duration of weekend. Dad got around this one by rounding up a few of his tea-totler friends....not many i can assure you, he found 3 in his group of 33 peeps.
There is a water canon, LOL!.....the police have stated it will be unlikely they will need to use it, but it's there for "just in case"
fly so high! said:I agree Axver........I do not like the way Australia is headed right now, like you said "Bathurst" or rather "the camping grounds" are not a place for some people, like me for example....I love racing, and since i was a little girl i have always dreamt of being a V8 racer.......but really the pissing-up all weekend and only watching a part of the race and having to put up with the noise, it's not for me or for many others.
Granted Dad says the riot stuff is prolly more for "feral hill" his lot won't get affected, it's prolly where young Daniel is staying too, not sure, which is McPhillamy Park, but the rules are just too dumb, they have has no problem before.
What concerns me and also with what happenend with APEC is because of these restrictions, people will be forced to voice their opinions in a louder and more violent way, become more secretive, just so they can protest or show their dis-like for something.........I mean in regards to Bathurst, Dad is one of the most placid guys you want to meet, but he wants to un-leash his own "water-canon" on the bastard thing if gets close enough to it. This type of thing just gets people's back up worse.
