  1. So why is there a rule in Rugby specific to the Haka. As you said should there also be a rule about infringing in opponents half if they are Morris SwordDancing or doing the River Dance?
  2. But that is the point, New Zealand are allowed to do the Haka but trams are t allowed to reciprocate. Remember the 2019 WC semi final when England lined up in a V Formation to counter the Haka, England were fined, where is the fairness in that? England Fined
  3. The 2026 Football World Cup is taking place in North America with most games taking place in the USA. 1936 Olympics spring to mind
  4. A dustbin man knocks on a a guy’s door, looking for his rubbish. He opens the door slightly, with a red, sweaty face. ”Where’s yer bin?” asks the binman. ”Errr… I bin in barfwoom,” responds the bloke. ”No, mate: where’s yer BIN?” he asks again. ”I told you. I BIN in barfwoom..” Getting exasperated, the binman says “Look - WHERE’S YOUR WHEELIE BIN?” The chap’s shoulders slump and, crestfallen, he lowers his head… ”Oh, OK… I wheelie bin having a wank..”
  5. Saw a good cryptic crossword clue today Borders on Insanity (6,3,6) The answer ? Canada and Mexico
  6. Just when I thought that America couldn’t get any more stupid they prove me wrong.
  7. Well if the meme was to take the piss out of US if backfired some since US is 7.85 per million, UK is 14.47 per million and Australia 20.6 per million, but the world champions appear to be Cuba with20.98 per million So America has its work cut out to claim this title on a per capita basis
  8. That’s why I said I won’t ask
  9. Bust means that Boxing camps are not really for boxing but a front for secretive Rehab facilities for NRL players. These Union types have weird thoughts
  10. I won’t ask what you were looking for when you came across this piece of information
  11. You haven’t been married long have you OH, give it time you’ll learn
  12. Are they, some monkeys are mathematicians too Monkey Math
  13. Two Australian mathematicians have called into question an old adage, that if given an infinite amount of time, a monkey pressing keys on a typewriter would eventually write the complete works of William Shakespeare. Known as the "infinite monkey theorem", the thought-experiment has long been used to explain the principles of probability and randomness. However, a new peer-reviewed study led by Sydney-based researchers Stephen Woodcock and Jay Falletta has found that the time it would take for a typing monkey to replicate Shakespeare's plays, sonnets and poems would be longer than the lifespan of our universe. Which means that while mathematically true, the theorem is "misleading", they say. As well as looking at the abilities of a single monkey, the study also did a series of calculations based on the current global population of chimpanzees, which is roughly 200,000. The results indicated that even if every chimp in the world was enlisted and able to type at a pace of one key per second until the end of the universe, they wouldn't even come close to typing out the Bard's works. There would be a 5% chance that a single chimp would successfully type the word "bananas" in its own lifetime. And the probability of one chimp constructing a random sentence - such as "I chimp, therefore I am" - comes in at one in 10 million billion billion, the research indicates. “It is not plausible that, even with improved typing speeds or an increase in chimpanzee populations, monkey labour will ever be a viable tool for developing non-trivial written works,” the study says. The calculations used in the paper are based on the most widely accepted hypothesis for the end of the universe, which is the heat death theory. Despite its name, the so-called heat death would actually be slow and cold. In short, it's a scenario in which the universe continues to both expand and cool - while everything within it dies off, decays, and fades away. “This finding places the theorem among other probability puzzles and paradoxes... where using the idea of infinite resources gives results that don’t match up with what we get when we consider the constraints of our universe,” Associate Prof Woodcock said in a statement about the work.

    Love this Headline Jockey who once pleaded guilty to biting a stripper arrested and suspended over alleged breach of privacy Jockey Justin Huxtable was reportedly arrested and charged by police in North Queensland on Friday leaving his career hanging in the balance. The 24-year-old was arrested following the races at Innisfail on Friday and stood down immediately by riding stewards, according to The Herald Sun. He had reportedly been charged under section 227A of the Queensland Criminal Code, following an alleged complaint made against him by a young female relating to a breach of privacy. Article
  17. NATO Article 5 has only ever been invoked once at the bequest of the USA post 9/11, so who needed who the most? As for NATO funding, don’t confuse it with total military expenditure. Direct NATO funding the US spends the same as Germany and 1.5 times both UK and France, now considering that the US is 4 times the population of Germany than it is only paying 25% per capita of German payments and 30% of UK and France per capita payments. I get sick of Americans claiming they support NATO when they don’t and are the only ones to have asked for help It appears that even OH is not immune to Trumps lies NATO Payments

  19. In the past when BM’s passed away it has only been people whom I knew only the board persona or met once or twice. But the recent deaths have hit closer to home, guys who I have met on numerous occasions and shared happy memories with and chatted with each other on the phone , and more worrying some have been younger than I
  20. Jigger I very much doubt it was the intention of Coss to set up an “alternative board” to Thai360 as such, but to have have a back up in place where us old farts could keep in touch if Thai360 was to disappear completely. Some of us have been here over 25 years and can’t be arsed with Facebook and all that, just need a simple place to post our whinges and shit. I realise the CC of emails could be seen a breach of privacy, but I know for a fact that he meant to BCC all recipients since 11 minutes after sending that email out he emailed me direct to say that someone was complaining that they weren’t BCC’d on the email. I very much doubt anyone who received the email is going to use the info for nefarious purposes My 2 cents worth Kong
  21. Police have dismantled a gang involving nine Thai and foreign nationals who wereillegally selling sex toys, seizing a substantial amount of contraband. The operation revealed a well-organised syndicate with millions in circulation. On October 10, Police Major General Saruti Kwangsopa, head of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Division, ordered Police Colonel Korkiat Wutjamnong and Police Lieutenant Colonel Natthaphat Nampadit to lead a raid against individuals illicitly selling sex toys. The operation resulted in the arrest of nine suspects: 26 year old Suchada, 25 year old Anon, 32 year old Lao national Dokkaew, 40 year old Mongkolwitoon, 30 year old Laotian Nixon, 31 year old Chaiwat, 30 year old Sukho, 29 year old Ekkarat, and 25 year old Wutthipong. Officers confiscated 2,580 sex toys, 66 computers, and mobile phones. Earlier, General Saruti mentioned that the police had previously arrested individuals involved in luring children under 18 years old to create explicit content using sex toys to attract attention. These clips were then sold on the Telegram channel PimThaidai and other illegal websites. The group had more than 90,000 members and included foreign nationals among its ranks. “This secret group was not only distributing child pornography but also illegally selling sex toys and aphrodisiacs.” General Saruti added that he had ordered the collection of evidence to request search warrants from the court. The subsequent search targeted five locations: three in Bangkok, one in Nakhon Pathom, and one in Chon Buri, leading to the arrests and seizures. Source Well the streets of Bangkok are safe to walk again with the removal of these offensive weapons
  22. False claims suggesting that Hurricane Milton was “engineered” and that the weather in Florida is being “manipulated” have been spreading on social media. There is no technology that allows humans to create and control hurricanes. But on platforms like X and TikTok, posts alleging - without evidence - that the US government is secretly controlling the weather have been viewed millions of times. Many were published by accounts known for spreading conspiracy theories, as well as misinformation about Covid-19 or vaccines. On Wednesday, US President Joe Biden described the claims as "beyond ridiculous", adding "it's so stupid, it's got to stop". He was responding to Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who in recent days suggested on her social media accounts that the US government "can control the weather". Posts seen by BBC Verify mainly suggest Hurricane Milton, one of the strongest storms in recent US history, was purposefully created by shadowy forces at the heart of US politics. But the accounts making that claim proposed several different explanations for how that was supposedly done. Full Article
