You bet 10k, at 1.80, that the guy with the orange hair is going to win. 
For your sake I hope it works out.
For the rest of the sane world....would not like to comment!

The 'Dogs and Cats being eaten', supposedly happened in Springfield Ohio. I reckon it's Homer Simpson.

American's now have a clear generational choice. Thank goodness for that.
A Harris victory is the best result for New Zealand.

What a 'cot-case' that USA is. Snipers at 130 meters. A Presidential candidate, who goes with prostitutes, supported by Evangelical Christians. Judges, who the defendant appointed,  making obscure rulings in favour of the same defendant.
Leader of the free world. USA USA USA; Fight Fight Fight. What a f....'n wank-fest.

Sorry about the "Joe Biden was awful..." post appearing three times. I only had to start writing about the doddery old fella and my finger started shaking uncontrollably over the "Submit reply" button.

Joe Biden was awful in this debate. He looked old, he sounded old and he could not recall his rehearsed lines.
Either one of the big two candidates is a disaster for the USA and the world. Get that Newsom in there, to provide a decent alternative.

I guess the question is now... If elected President in November, does Donald Trump govern from 'The White House' or 'The Big House'?

That's interesting about time in Melbourne wph
I had a similar rugby upbringing to yourself (although not quite that successful in school - but did play Senior club).
Then like yourself, I lived in Melbourne for a time and got exposed to AFL. Now back in NZ I'm envious as all hell that we can't have a game with the flow, excitement and crowds of Aussie Rules. Like the 90,000 for Collingwood v Carlton; Otago vs Wellington (NPC) should get a passionate crowd of 25,000 minimum.  
I think the three things Rugby Union could take from AFL are - 
1. No cards - incidents are reviewed post game and players banned accordingly (extended bans - so it really hurts your team.) 
2. Clock stops when ball not in play. 
3. TMO only rules on groundings over the line.

The All Blacks v Ireland World Cup match was a great contest. It reignited my passion for International rugby, which had been seriously on the wane.
And Boks get up this morning. All that talk about France and Ireland, but when the heat goes on, look who come out victorious...yet again. Let's hope both AB's and Boys haven't knackered themselves for their semi-final matches.

I like Tony Lee, but think whp makes a valid point about his calls on Saturday.
I noticed, at least in those early races, he was focusing on horses that were battling into 4th and 5th at best.
Still, it's not a major and he's such an icon it will be a sad day when he goes.

Congrats getting the $18 TT, for a team that had played fairly well the previous season.
Both AFL and NRL Finals were outstanding games. Hard for Rugby Union to match that, but we'll see....???

Co governance is not the threat you believe it to be Tripple A.

The man's got a damn cheek to say "I'm draining the swamp", when he pulls of moves like this phone call.

Gee, that phone call doesn't sound good does it. It's straight out of the Bullies handbook.
I really like the (Republican) Georgia Secretary of States calm reply - "Respectfully, President Trump: What you're saying is not true."
How many times could you use this line in regard to former President Trump??

U calling me dumb???
Yeah, I'd agree I'm just an average bloke. I look out and I see Covid came - people died in large numbers - we got a vaccine - now people don't die in large numbers.
Climate - I see much more about droughts; heat waves and floods on TV than I ever used too. To me, the climate seems more volatile. I ask "Why is that?" So I read Race Cafe for the considered opinions of Gruff; Hedley; Tripple A etc; Then I listen to Scientists -  and then I weigh things up.
