Shit.

The smell of cancer is terrible, it's the only smell I know that you can taste.

I hope everything works out Jock but it doesn't sound good. :(

Sympathies from me too mate.

My parents both died from cancer, and it's not a great time for anyone involved. Try to enjoy the good moments when they happen; the wedding should definitely be one of those things to remember forever.

Sorry to hear it Jock. Sorry for you to Omar, must have been a tough boat to row at such a young age.

I had no idea Omar, that is terrible.

Cancer is such a horrible thing.

I never understood it till I got that call from my mum telling me she had cancer, it really makes you appreciate the time you have together. Thankfully mum has been given the all clear.

My sympathies go out to all that have been touched by it.

Those types of people have very little pride and self respect in themselves. Regardless of how rich or poor you are, there are some basic human traits that we should all have.

Getting caught without a ticket on the tram the first time I don't buy one in months. Damn it. Didn't recognise the inspectors at all, I thought they were RSL veterans or something with their big badges!

At least the money from a fine goes to the government, as opposed to some self-interested private company (ticket money).

Paul Dumbrell... I mean serisouly! Who takes out their team-mate!?


James Counrtney... LEARN TO DRIVE!!!



A massive thing that pisses me off is there has been an unsurmountable amouts of accidents at turn 8 of the adelaide parklands circuit, and yet they STILL don't fix the bloody thing and poor Ashley Cooper is fighting for his life in hospital because they've done NOTHING about this turn!

Turn 8 is the only exciting part of the track.

As long as it meets FIA standard, then it's only as dangerous as the drivers make it. It's not like they don't know it's there!

Next, you'll be saying that Skyline at Bathurst is dangerous because Mark Porter was killed there in 2006.

Spending all day cleaning up 2 years worth of caked up grease and gunk in a kitchen. And that's without even getting inside the cupboards and drawers. It's totally beyond me how people could actually live like that. Unfarkenbelievable!
