the 'Cause' merchants get a mention
though suprisingly its the mum n dads
in need of convincing
that i find telling n a little ironic

They did ok at the World Cup in soccer. Actually, what am I talking about...they dominated. I think half the French team were of African origin. Same with close to half of the English team. Who would've thunk that 30 years ago?

whereas asian teams did much better than african teams - in all three groups they were matched the asian team finished higher. japan made ko stage, no african team did.
sad to say australia were the worst performed asian team. not unexpected tiven we were the last place qualifiers.

So get rid of the "ics" and get some Africans into the soccer team?


The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules. 
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

17 out of a squad of 22 actually. Ist generation french with at least one african parent.

The future of the AFL.

Islanders dominate the NRL, so let's see who will dominate the Aussie code in the years ahead.

Should that be Vics


The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

No. He means the 'itches' which refers to the last couple of letters on a lot of Serb/Croatian surnames like Perovic or Vidovic (g'day stoney).

Also Hello Farken to Tony the Yugaslav ( "I'm half Serbian, half Croatian, i vake up in morning, i vant to kill myself")
