Bugger! I meant to write 'risen to the heights'. Missing the 'to' completely changes the message.

Well, this discussion has risen the heights of the bottom of the gutter.

Conservative Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro has followed his imprisoned father’s lead by refusing to concede defeat to leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who won a historic fourth term in the presidential ‌election. US President Donald Trump suggested on Monday (local time), without providing evidence, that Brazil’s election was “rigged.” “It looked like another rigged election, frankly,” he said. Other world leaders quickly rallied behind Lula’s victory, with congratulations pouring in from the EU, Mexico, France, Canada, India and Russia.

For some reason, South Sydney is the preferred team here.

Another Bangladeshi IT worker put out of work!

Over here, driving into potholes is classed as one of the joys of motoring.

Gilgandra doesn't have a Rugby team, but for some reason Gulargambone, up the road does have a lub and theGil boys play there. I agree that it is the Boarders who are the main players, but the local boys still do well. What is interesting is that the Aboriginal boys are not made welcome. That's why they play League.

In most of Australia people drive on the left. In Victoria they drive on what's left.

The naming difference between the two forms of football came from what might be classed as social class sources. The Rugby Football Union was established in London in 1871, uniting 21 clubs and officially standardizing the laws of the sport. So it was a joining together of a group of clubs, no doubt to enable a competition to be run. In 1895, the sport split into two separate codes—rugby union and rugby league—over a dispute regarding "broken-time payments" (compensating working-class players for missing work to play). There's your social class factor. Very much a similar thing happened with cricket, with the non-paid players called The Gentlemen, and the professionals.

I must say that I don't find Bush Barbie's style of comedy comes anywhere near the standard our earlier comics (non-gender term used deliberately). From the videos I've seen of her, she uses her physical appearance to attract ateention, which it sure does. However, having grown up enjoying the witty use of language and irony, both in the English and Australian styles, I think she just doesn't come up to standard.

Get ready for an interesting fortnight for Trump. His best mate in the Middle East could be out on his ear. We'll know prety well by Wednesday. Serbians also look like ditching their authoriterian leader. We'll know if the Ynaks have come to their senses by 4th November.

New Zealand beat France 92-0. There have been some incredibly high scores. England beat Wales 70-6 and Samoa beat Wales, too, for 76-0. It looks like the three top teams are Australia, New Zealand and Fiji. Jerry, the clue is in the name of the competition: Women's Rugby League World Cup

Help!!!! I'm drenched. Clouds passed over and deposited 8mm of water on me.

It must be a bit hard for a reported to get the opportunity to ask a Prime Minister a question during one of these opportunities. Why waste the chance by asking something so inane that experience would tell you that the politician is not going to answer. In the current situation of confrontations with politicians, I would have thought the reporter should have been more concerned with what acrtions ar being taken to protect politicians (of all sides) from them. First and foremost, these attacks are being made upon people being present to carry out a job that the community has given them to do. It also seem that our male law makers are prone to mysogeny based on what our female politicians are saying.
