Sad loss indeed. In the 70's and early 80's The Mentals were one of the best/most reliable live acts going around.
Regardless of the venue or the crowd they always sounded as good live as they did on record.

And they took the piss out of ABBA and all their fans as well.

Terrible news about Grant firstly, his work with Star Wars and other movie robotics was amazing as well as his MythBusters work.

I can't tell if Glee had a heap of actors/actresses, I've never watched the thing, or if it really is cursed. It's death rate is way too high given its average age of star.

Also as always Americans displaying their normal complete lack of anything outside their own assholes. Everyone is like "oh this is like when Kobe died". No its not.

Maradona was the greatest on the planet, and the Pommies felt 'entitled' to win the World Cup. Aussies were a plucky underdog who copped a debatable rough decision.
Maradona stole the English lunch money then spent the next 34 years buying flowers for their girlfriends.He was the original internet troll, except everyone in the world cheered him on because of a common enemy.
The Dutch, Germans, italians, Irish and Scots all adored Maradona for what he did. He got away with what he could and never apologised for any of it, to anyone, ever. What a bloke.

Yeah nah, this ain't it GOP. The equivalent exchange for what Limbaugh did to people would be wishing for his death whilst he was still alive, which I'm sure a large amount of unhealthy people did. Celebrating his death doesn't affect him or likely his supporters at all, him celebrating the death of AIDS victims ruined 1000s of lives by destroying families and support networks for vulnerable people. I get that you're trying to be all high and mighty on this one and own people for being hypocrites, but one outburst of negative emotions doesn't have anywhere near the same weight as the affects that turgid sack of cowshit had on the US and it's dimwitted "middle America".


For clarification, I'm not celebrating his death either, he's had no real affect on my life whatsoever. I do however think the world might just be a better place without him in it anymore, especially if a portion of people who didn't understand the negative affects his words had, realise so now and learn to tune out from these media personalities and create their opinions based on fact, or at least try to make their legacy something that isn't mocked and despised like Rush did.

Nope, not that at all. I don't even think the latest round of reports are necessarily worse than any other. They sure as sh|t aren't worse than the allegations facing Prince Andrew.

I just think the Meghan & Harry brouhaha, and the ongoing retaliations it will spark, will push the public's tolerance past a tipping point. They'll start to ask "why the farque are these losers our leaders?" with a much high frequency.

The Prince Andrew stuff is a joke, bloke should be investigated. Disagree on the public sentiment, as long as its not the direct line of future Kings (Charles, William) people won't care what bullshit the royals are up to.

Again though, I want a Republic.

Problem I have is that if its Parliaments choice, you get donors and power brokers. If its a popular vote (like ireland) you get Trump.
The 99 model of 2/3 majority sounds good right up until you have a Rudd or Howard type who flukes a massive election win and abuses that power.

The President is supposed to hold the Govt to account, how would that happen if Labor elects John Setka or Libs bring in Michael Photios?

I'd want as much independence as possible.
Start with no one under 50, and no one ever holding public office above local govt level being eligible.
That would account for about 99% of the shitheads out there. It would prob mean you get more ex military, ex judges and academics wanting to do it. Id rather that than the govt finding another way to grab more power.

Anyway. We are actually both on the same page, if I was alive and 38 years older I'd apply and invite you to the inauguration.

Maybe I can start the campaign on Furns podcast?

Got pissed in a park on knock-off Jager and randomly saw them live in Finland back in 2013..

49 year old Paul Green committed suicide, won the Cowboys their first NRL premiership in 2015 and seemed to be very widely respected and loved by those in the game. Don't know the circumstances of how it came about, but suicide is definitely a problem that everyone needs to talk about. It doesn't discriminate.

This year alone I've known a 22 yr old kid at work with the world at his feet and 36 yr old mother of two beautiful girls who also went down that path. Do your best to talk to people if you think they need help and do it yourself if you think you need some. Hell, PM me if you feel the need. Plenty of good people on this sub would rather have a conversation with you about your problems than hear about the alternative.

Julia definitely deserves one, we all missed that one. Olivia was obviously all over every TV so not really needed to be mentioned for everyone to know it happened. Both were very important women.

But thanks for the needless attempt at a cheap shot to remind everyone how I obviously live rent free in your head. Get a life already, whatever problem you have with me is your own issue and no one wants to constantly read about it.

Just post the blokes name and a Lifeline phone number, and no attempt at a cheap shot is needless. You are also not a suicide counsellor

He does have a point that your priorities are all over the show

You are quick to champion for people to not kill themselves when they are wishing to do so yet on the other hand you wish to sanction someone else killing children to avoid taking responsibility for their actions and think this is somehow ok

The somersaults and backflips in logic one has to do to take these polar opposite positions is bizarre.

Not a bad run by the Queen to be honest, she's definitely lived a pretty damn good life. I wouldn't turn it down if given the opportunity. Queen Frodo sounds pretty good..
