Something to ponder...

Why do we press harder on a  remote control when we know the batteries are flat? Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient  funds" when they know there is not enough? Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check  when you say the paint is wet? Why doesn't glue stick  to the bottle? Why do they use sterilized needles for death  by lethal injection? W more...

Well, I was hoping that this may have been the turnaround point for the sport. But it appears that the MLRH has caused as much fuss as the other Associations in organising a tournament. I received an email from Carl Morgan today after chasing for results from the tournament (as I've yet to receive anything about it). The long and short of it was that he didn't actually go to the event “Basically more...

I read with great interest the Press Release sent to me by John Chapman (Chairman of BRSF). John is correct in stating there is very little cohesion. Having a central membership registration system would allow the BRSF to account for the state of the sport across the board independently which will aid with sponsorship deals with clubs, associations and tournaments. I have tried to break down the more...

Good old Bush misspoke as he delivered a speech at the signing ceremony for a $US417 billion ($A593 billion) defence spending bill. "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we," Bush said. "They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." No one in Bush's audience of military brass or Pentagon chiefs reacted. Th more...

Been asking various people in the sport to start a blog on this site to get peoples personal opinions and this is the first question people ask...so here's the answer: “On a Web site, a blog, a short form for weblog, is a personal journal that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption. Blogs generally represent the personality of the author or the Web site and its purpose. more...

I watched the Butterfly Effect with Ashton Kutcher (Demi Moore's toy boy and 'Dude Where's my car' star) and Amy Smart (Road Trip hottie). It was a great film, and Kutcher was his annoying self like he was in Dude Where's my car or 'The 70s Show'. It's basically about going back and changing time and seeing the different routes through life that it caused for various characters. Being a big fan o more...

Watched it over the weekend, wasn't very impressed. Seemed to avoid the whole 'where are the weapons of mass destruction' and just deal with the fixed elections, army recruitment policies and why they kept the soldiers in Iraq for so long! Saw this site too! For the next elections round up. It's a really funny animated short mimicking both electorates - check it out at jibjab.com. And my favour more...
