7-0 now doesn't make 4-0 look that bad! I feel a mass team African defection coming on. Thanks TB for making me feel so welcome in here very lovely of you!

Fair enough on Harry. Mate, I don't hate soccer, somethings are a tad frustrating to take in, which I am sure sometimes also to mad keen fans as yourself, but I guess that's sport. It's a bit hard to really ignore the whole Kerfuffle right now since it's pretty much on 24/7. Last I saw this was a open forum so surely I'm entitled to my opinion. if you don't like it please feel free to put me on invisible mode or whatever it is. Have a lovely day

I agree with the shoulder/chest- to upper arm.. damn I have seen the bloody replay at least 6000 times now and as the ball got closer it looks like he attempted to start to get out of the way.. Maybe if he was an amputee from the shoulder the ball could have avoided contact. BOC, it's really hard for someone that's not already a soccer head to take the game seriously when we keep seeing these blatant dives and guys putting on the

Italians taking a dive is suprising NOT! I just can't believe that in this day and age there aren't any vidoe ref's, especially in a game where a theatrical dive or bad call (often by the looks of things) can make such a big impact. Aussie's Kewell got the red card treatment, maybe a penalty but a red card? Was that fair???? And what's there to celebrate with a draw?

Doh, always a bummer, but always great to a new board! Not that it's going to help you over the next few weeks.. but you could have some fun experimenting.. Me I have a full on infection that's taken over my right leg below the knee to my socks from a cut I scored at the point.. no surf for weeks I think..

Sounds like you need a few more seasons spook!

doh!

Where did you hit @ Lakeys? I know the inside on the right is super hollow and on Biiiig days the left at low tide closes and is suicidal! Pipe is the worst eh! Razor sharp. My wife got sucked over the falls onto her knee by a rouge 5-6ft wave @ the peak and gouged her knee pretty badly. When are you jetting? no waves here!

What boat did they hit up? I know crew that just got back too and had fun - excellent waves. Only complaint was that the boat didn't travel overnight which is a no go! Reefs, In my Indo stints I rarely came to grief on the reef. I noticed that Carnage usually happened on the smaller days when the wave is right on top of the reef, but I guess those super crazy low tide race tracks, deserts etc bazzas are just too good to refuse sometimes!

Classic! Might have to do a trip next year for the bro's pre wedding send off. Navistar is a SA owned boat and all the boys on it are from SA so even if it is sroppy, I am sure the lads are enjoying wetsuit free sessions!

Depressing.. My bro just left for a 24 day trip on Navi star.. Should be in your parts spook soon (& Beyond). Our mega swell passed us by , we could see it out to sea, but it didn't want to come in! We did have some pretty good waves last week though, nice to get the odd bazz B4 work! Have a good trip Mantas..

Originally Posted By: Mantas If I never drank again it wouldn't worry me. I love waking up early, fresh and clear, then hitting the surf. Yep when the surf is on & I am getting up at anywhere from 4:30-5:30 to hit it, I want to have a clear head. Though getting hammered on the first wave can sometimes do it for me! Funny thing when I got off the piss in Japan, some mornings I was waking up feeling worse! Only the first week or so but was thinking why bother. Good on you Thurs, I often think, why do we need to drink to have a good time, relax etc. I won't give it up thou

I'd rather have someone rack up ol' Charlie that smoke next to me..

PP, easy to think that it would have been hyped as not something you'd expect! MB, I know of a woman who was in bed get up to go to the toilet, wall collapses on her bed! A few more freakish timing events like that where give or take a few seconds the difference would have been life or death... I think the man upstairs was looking after a few on Thursday.

God I feel for that guy! My wife used to watch that program in the morning.. To his credit, they all recovered pretty well!

This hit the village on Thursday at 7:30am. It's really a miracle that no one was killed. Some pics here http://video.au.msn.com/watch/video/9raw-tornado-rips-through-lennox-head/x5wxont

I'd love to get the Daikon going here... any one wanna bring me some seeds?

The Japanese way rubbed off on me and a few times at work I have told the ladies to get some coffee or tea & how do you reckon that went down?
