The totally off-topic thread

Does anyone know where I can buy kids NZRU Jersey's in Perth? None of the sports stores have any left, nor will they before Xmas it seems. Tried the Adidas outlet in Harbour Town. Even tried the Canterbury store, no joy.

Didn't want to buy them online as I want to physically see the kids sizes!

If it's the same sizes across a particular brand, could you not model an Aussie jersey and then order it based on that?

I should add apart from at the WACA!!!!

I think even Mitchell Johnson can't save the Poms next time around. Losing Strauss and the turmoil surrounding Petersen is too huge an obstacle to overcome but stranger things have happened.

Something weird about seeing a Navy uniform in Longreach!

Well, they also have a Catalina

I realise the idea for the QFOM was they wanted to fly a Catalina 'home', would would have been cooler to have the same type of Catalina purely on display than a different model with wheels flown in I reckon. Still hoping they build an Empire Flying Boat display some day!

Considering the RAN never ran Catalinas, moot point! Bit like seeing an Oberon class sub at Holbrook, although that's a more valid observation given the towns strong Navy connections.

Anyone at the Cup? One of my sons, the Media Manager of an AFL club, is in a marquee somewhere in the Birdcage. I'm at home with a stubbie.

No, I'm at work. My business partner has rigged up one of our spare laptops with a dongle that converts it to a TV - watching Ch7 coverage. Is it over already - maybe I should have a beer as well

Green Moon is the winner. One of the staff from the shop downstairs almost fainted when she realised it had won - she had $50 for the win. She's closed the shop and hot footing it to the TAB to collect her winnings.

So that's why the MEL QP is so quiet. Everyone is watching the horsies.

Incidentally, MEL was closed for a short while due to an impressive electrical storm. Things seem to be getting back to normal now.

Too busy studying for an exam to be worried about short-term, high-risk investments. No wonder the phone and IM have been quiet this afternoon.

Wonder if he asked the pilot for a dollar afterwards for washing his windows!

Asked the CM journalist: "I looked through both Saturday and Sundays' Courier Mail, however couldn't find your article. Did it not make the editorial cut-off??"

Her reply: "Hi Lindsay, It's been held over for this Saturday. Editors are very fickle and unpredictable creatures. I will keep you posted."
