I feel a bit like someone who gets a new hairdo when they finish a relationship.......there's so much promise in a brand new site.....

I suppose the truth is I thrive on change.......

In my humble opinion no connection

Seeing that this is your sports thread, are there any interesting Aussie movies about sport? I recall there's a comedy about lawn bowls but didn't see it.

Constance started the thread not me. I think the lawn bowls film may have been called Cracker jack. I have seen it twice , but I am not sure.

Good grief. I obviously didn't know that.

emu you obviously didn't read my reply to blue moon's question. Or you've got your humour detector switched off. Or some other reason. Whatever.

Are you aware of the expression "tongue in cheek " ?

Obviously never heard of that one either.

Your "tongue in cheek" is impossible for this cat to distinguish. So what you say is taken at face value. Should I instead treat all your posts as "tongue in cheek"?

Use of LOL or some emoticon might help - but it's your choice.

It is in Pigsknuckle, Arkansas, when the annual raw racoon eating contest comes around, 365 days a year.

Perhaps a more tangential approach is needed? See new thread...

The Welcome thread is getting longer and longer, with no real discussion of sports, and otherwise nothing happens. This section is as useless as its topic, it seems.

Give it time to grow , I have some topics in mind , but was hardly on today.
