When my neighbour told me he +1 were going to see Rod Stewart I responded "It won't be a late night then"

Utter rot!

At Rod Laver Arena in March this year, the supporting act was James Reyne. Rod Stewart came on at 900pm and finally, after several standing ovations and encores, the lights came up at 1055pm: an absolutely brilliant non-stop two hour catalogue of all his hits from way back when. A photo from my seat mid-stage in Row C.



Seriously, in concert quality, Rod was up there with the greatest (and his gravelly voice hasn't changed much in the 40 years I've been listening to him). If you get a chance, grab tickets - he is an absolute "must see" - a consummate showman and performer.

Now that Kia ad makes (some small degree of) sense!

But you've never wanted the Australian cricket team to win, ever, have you?

Wrong.

Australian cricket fanatic for as long as AB was in the team. Some heartbreaks there. And then Warne came along and all was still good.

And then came the arrogance with the inconsistency. Not a good sight.

Humility and sportsmanship go a long way.

Rod Steward... I remember him

I hope this isn't too on topic for this thread. This is brilliant - How badly do you want to see your favourite band? Learn To Fly...

A glorious blue sky morning today in Mungo/Willandra Lakes World Heritage Area. A shame I had to head home to work.

The moon this evening was quite stunning.

Yes, we all went out to look at it. My daughter said it looked like cheese.

Life can be so cruel at times. That's another failure. 2/2 now. Gets harder with each passing each day.

John, my wife and I went through 9. I do understand how you feel. Our first 6 failed IIRC

 

[Pushka]

Hopefully clear in Barcelona to see the blue moon

What are Hawthorn doing tonight? I had them to beat Richmond by 90. Doesn't look like happening

Sorry for mentioning something about aeroplanes thus being a bit ON topic but I saw this story on NoNews talking about unsolved mysteries of the air and the famous story of "Flight 19" which disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle (plus a search plane). On reading it I saw a flaw in the story. Anyone spot it? A simple googling of "flight 19" would have made a difference.

5. Flight 19
Flight 19 was the name given to a US Air Force training exercise that took place on Dec. 5, 1945, involving an Avenger Torpedo Bomber. The plane disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle with 14 airmen on board. The Air Force then sent a Mariner flying boat with 13 men on-board to attempt to find the missing aircraft. That plane also went missing. Neither of the planes, nor the 27 crew members in total, was ever seen again, and investigators could never determine the cause of either flight’s disappearance.
