  1. Well Snowjunky - not the best start to defending our Title ??

     

    If you can tell me a good reason why Liam Miller is a paid member of that squad (and moreover is in the starting Xl) you are a wiser man than I !! :doh:

     

    Well, a win would have been a better result but then so would have Ben (look at me i am the most important dude out here) Williams taking a walk off the Kangaroo Point Cliffs.

    What a knob - I think that's the 3rd or fourth time he has sent McKay off over the years. having said that Matty can be a bit Gobby. Great player though.

     

    Miller? Does a few good things but not enough and dissapears for long periods as you said.

    The rest? - I am not too dissapointed in the result. Adelaide have some quality players and will definately be in the finals this comp.

    Yes we did not play at our best but I saw enough to be encouraged about, particularly some of the passing in the second half.

     

    What were your thoughts on Kurtishi?

  2. An elderly Italian man who lived on the outskirts of Rimini, Italy, went to the local church for confession. When the priest slid open the panel in the confessional, the man said: "Father... During World War II, a beautiful Jewish woman from our neighborhood knocked urgently on my door and asked me to hide her from the Nazis. So I hid her in my attic." The priest replied: "That was a wonderful thing you did, and you have no need to confess that." "There is more to tell, Father.. She started to repay me with sexual favors. This happened several times a week, and sometimes twice on Sundays." The priest said, "That was a long time ago and by doing what you did, you placed the two of you in great danger, but two people under those circumstances can easily succumb to the weakness of the flesh. However, if you are truly sorry for your actions, you are indeed forgiven." "Thank you, Father. That's a great load off my mind. I do have one more question." "And what is that?" asked the priest. "Should I tell her the war is over?"

  3. An old geezer stumbles up to the only other patron in a bar and asks if he could buy him a drink. "Why of course," comes the reply. The first man then asks: "Where are you from?"... "I'm from Ireland," replies the second man. The first man responds: "You don't say, I'm from Ireland too! Let's have another round to Ireland." "Of Course," replies the second man. Curious, the first man then asks: "Where in Ireland are you from?" "Dublin," comes the reply. "I can't believe it," says the first man. "I'm from Dublin too! Let's have another drink to Dublin." "Of course," replies the second man. Curiosity again strikes and the first man asks: "What school did you go to?" "Saint Mary's," replies the second man. "I graduated in '59." "This is unbelievable!" the first man says. "I went to Saint Mary's and I graduated in '59, too!" About that time in comes one of the regulars and sits down at the bar. "What's been going on?" he asks the bartender. "Nothing much," replies the bartender. "The old O'Malley twins are drunk again."

  4. 'm reaching out on behalf of an old golf buddy of mine who needs some help! His wife told him to go out and get some of those pills that would help him get an erection. When he came back, he handed her some diet pills. Anyway, he's looking for a place to live. Let me know if you anyone can help.

  5. This is so true! They always ask at the doctor's office why you are there, and you have to answer in front of others what's wrong and sometimes it is embarrassing.

    There's nothing worse than a receptionist who insists you tell her what is wrong with you in a room full of other patients. Many of us have experienced this, and I love the way this old guy handled it. An 86-year-old man walked into a crowded waiting room and approached the desk. The receptionist said, "Hello, sir. Can you please tell me why you're here to see the doctor today?" "There's something wrong with my dick," he replied. The receptionist became irritated and said, "You shouldn't come into a crowded waiting room and say things like that." "Why not? You asked me what was wrong and I told you," he said. The receptionist replied, "Now you've caused some embarrassment in this room full of people. You should have said there is something wrong with your ear or something and discussed the problem further with the doctor in private." The man replied, "You shouldn't ask people questions in a room full of strangers, if the answer could embarrass anyone." The man walked out, waited several minutes and then re-entered. The receptionist smiled smugly and asked, Yes?" "There's something wrong with my ear," he stated. The receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice. "And what is wrong with your ear, sir?" "I can't piss out of it," he replied. The waiting room erupted in laughter.

  6. An old blind man was describing his favorite sport - parachuting. When asked how this was accomplished, he said that things were all done for him: I am placed in the door and told when to jump. My hand is placed on my release ring for me, and out I go. "But how do you know when you are going to land?" he was asked. "Well, I have a very keen sense of smell and I can smell the trees and grass when I am 300 feet from the ground", he answered. "But how do you know when to lift your legs for the final arrival on the ground?" he was again asked. He quickly answered, "Oh that? The dog's leash goes slack!"

  7. Holy moley, I just took a look at Expeditionportal

    WINNER – CARAVAN WORLD’S BEST AUSSIE VAN AWARDS BEST LUXURY VAN: THE ROADSTAR™ SAFARI TAMER

     

    It’s a great day for us here at Roadstar™ - we’re proud to announce that the all-new Safari Tamer has won the title of Best Luxury Van, named by Caravan World Australia as part of their inaugural Best Aussie Vans awards.

     

    The showcase test of 13 caravans represented the crème de la crème of Australian caravan manufacturing; assessed in four categories over seven days, each one was put under the microscope by the team at Caravan World along with television hosts Tim Smith and Brooke Hanson from Discover Downunder.

     

    You can read all about the awards, categories and judging criteria here.

     

    The Roadstar™ Safari Tamer was named Best Luxury Van, in the high end category of the competition; from its rough and ready exterior to its stunning designer interior, the judges were consistently impressed.

     

    You can watch the full Discover Downunder video showcasing the Safari Tamer’s victory below:

     

     

    Their first impression? The Safari Tamer is a bold, gutsy caravan all over. The high checker plate on the exterior is made purely for off-road enjoyment – from the first glance, it’s clear the Safari Tamer is in its natural element on roads less travelled.

     

    Laura Keys of Caravan World noted the small luxury touches included throughout the design; the lowerable steps to assist in climbing to the doorway are a thoughtful inclusion in a high-riding caravan like this one.

     

    When it came to the age-old car bra vs. checker plate debate, Caravan World’s Phil Lord praised the Safari Tamer’s high checker plate and proper stone protection features on the van’s exterior as “the real deal”. The rubber panelling on the front façade was praised for not only reflecting stone to prevent damage to the caravan, but also for protecting the back of the car while towing.

     

    When Malcolm Street, the Caravan World resident technology guru, discovered just how many smart, modern conveniences the Safari Tamer boasts, he was in heaven. From the classy LED lighting system, to the impressive sound system and Bluetooth connectivity that allows everything to be controlled with a portable device – like an iPad – the Safari Tamer received glowing reviews across the board for its ingenuity and modern technology.

     

    In a fantastic one on one chat with Caravan World editor Max Taylor, Tim and Brooke from Discover Downunder got the chance to hear the Roadstar™ story; down to the smallest detail, every caravan is produced to the highest quality with passion and expertise. True examples of 21st century design and manufacturing, Roadstar™ caravans like the Safari Tamer have been a labour of love, due to the dedication and vision the company prides itself on. Max noted that it clear that a substantial investment has been made into producing the quality Roadstar™ is known for, and that it has certainly been money well spent.

     

    Caravan World wrapped up with this lovely expression of congratulations on our win:

     

    “Congratulations to the team at Roadstar™ - so much work went into designing this van, and it really shows. The Safari Tamer really is a Best Aussie Van”

     

    We couldn’t be prouder to have been awarded this title; from the whole team at Roadstar™, we’d like to extend our thanks to Caravan World Australia, the team at Discovery Downunder, and everyone who helped to put the event together.

     

    We hope to continue raising the bar for luxury caravans here in Australia, providing our customers with luxury style, quality finish and freedom of choice to create their perfect home away from home.
