Freddy Mercury from Queen was/is my favourite singer and composer. He injected a classical theme into Rock better than even ELO.

Poor old Nathan Lyon getting injured. Hamstring from fielding? He was brilliant spin bowling, even taking out Stokes's wicket. Lyon is 38 but I still reckon spin bowlers can play into their 40's. Unlikely for batters and fast bowlers ... So Australia wins the Ashes with two test matches to go...

At 7/337 England needs 98 runs to win. Unlikely but nice to see England have a go.

That humidity with high temperatures really knocks me about too Craig.

I do enjoy Test cricket Craig, the long game. I'm tempted to have a look. Cheers

Anyone tried out any of the AI's floating around? If so, which ones and what do you think of them?

I learned a hard lesson from that blunder Thomas. My boss was very apologetic and a week later I had to rescue him when he got his 4wd stuck in a dry creek bed. We had walkie-talkies and he had an awful hangover! It took me hours to get him out while he moaned in the shade. Our Wild West, and my...

I got talking to an old mate who agreed with you Zman and Ritchie. Fair enough, Ussie is getting on and the younger players need time and experience in the team. In AFL, low 30's and it's time to retire for most.

There were a lot of heroic acts that day too like the Surf Life Savers running into the killing zone to tend to the wounded, under fire. Many panicked people ran into the water to escape and subsequently some got into difficulty in the water. The senior life guards were busy mostly giving first...

Didn't he get 82 runs from memory. He can turn it on but almost all have rough patches. He's getting on a bit in years which is a factor I guess. 38 ain't too old for a cricket player. Nice to see Lyon back and Carey doing so well batting. I've heard say Carey is the World's best wicket keeper...

Just heard more. 29 wounded including two critically injured police and a child. Now it's 12 dead. It has been declared a Terrorist anti Semitic attack. The NSW Police force are throwing everything at the investigation aided by the AFP, Australian Federal Police. I bet they dig and dig, and...

I was shocked to hear about the mass shootings down at Bondi Beach in Sydney. Evil dogs used pump action shot guns to fire indiscriminately at beach goers. Many at first thought it was fireworks. Innocent people murdered and injured by at least three gunmen. Ten dead and a dozen badly wounded...

Re Global Warming, here's the weather for my little Perth Suburb tomorrow: Just 2 weeks into our Summer. Thank goodness I've just got my new ac going at a drying 25C on Eco mode. Even 26C Eco is good for me. It's the humidity I can't handle.

Of course it was rhetorical Thomas. There is still a lot of Global Warming deniers, especially in the US and thankfully just a few in Australia. I've met a few but can't be bothered trying to explain the Science to such entrenched sceptics. Trump calls it a Chinese hoax as extreme weather events...

Hi Craig, Perth has ongoing fires in outer areas south and north which Fire Fighters are battling. It's hard yakka. After a very wet winter all the vegetation grew much more than usual. Spring was hot and the vegetation dried out and now just into our Summer the heavy vegetation is tinder dry...
