    Sounds good, but maybe someone should introduce him to some more athletic types such as Lauren Hewitt or Tatiana Grigorieva. Need to make sure the other half of the genetic pool meets the club's needs as well.
    He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.

      Edit: I get it.

      I own two properties, one in Brunswick and the other in Summer Hill.

      I must remind myself that i am dealing with such esteem scholars and academics on RWO.
      Ho ho ho you're smarter and better than me! Let's move on. If you don't like the scholars and academics of RWO, join Oprah's Book Club or whatever takes your fancy.

        I was thinking Elyse Perry and Sally Pierson for the mids and maybe Lauren Jackson and Liz Cambage for the KP's and Rucks.

          In addition to the suggestions Stella made on avoiding the limits on news articles, all of which I also use, you can open any such article by using an incognito window.

            I don't want to be too pedantic, but 'esteemed scholars' would be the proper conjugation in this case. We do have our standards here, as you have correctly pointed out.

              He's really gonna love Sydney isn't he?

              Real question is, how did I miss this auspicious occasion?

                Just read this thread. We can all come together and see yet another glaring example of the corporate agenda media, dumbing down the population to the point of coma and not only refusing to report real news, but making every effort to conceal it. The differences in the publications people are describing are purely cosmetic, designed to tailor the same brainwashing to different demographics. Exactly like political parties and the naive belief that they are different.

                There's a million awesome stories they could have written about the Swans, but they choose to trash a dude's reputation unfairly to peddle smut to the narcissistic Facebook-obsessed, McDonald's eating, Kesha-listening, X-factor viewing, child-injecting, GMO-loving, propaganda-believing sheeple.

                  Agree with you wholeheartedly, but I can't go into another long-winded end of the world rant like last time because it put me into a 3 day depression.

                  I can sum things up this way: The world sucks. Another Swans Premiership is the only thing worth living for. (This post not to shown to family members).

                              I now exist to watch Lance kick 11 on debut at the SCG.

                              Watch out the side we play who are on 0 wins 11 losses at the SCG in the next few years..Lance might kick 15.

                                If you haven't cottoned on to it for smh/age yet (this is probably old news, I'm sure), the quickest way to switch is to just change the domain name of the masthead in the URL-
                                the 3 stories below are all identical, only the domain name changed and all count as 1 story view against a different site.

                                A moderately nifty little thing I thought of recently, too, is if you like to read state/national news you can bookmark the pages from one of the other mastheads and the content will be the same- so use Victoria News and you'll have the same stories as Victoria News except it will counts as page views under the smh.com.au domain instead of theage.com.au- likewise with bookmarking something like AFL News, Scores, Stats, Transfers | Real Footy to view the footy news page- then if you just go to theage.com.au you can browse and click through on general stories/info and will probably find you last out the month from splitting out your 2 or 3 main areas of interest into under the other domains.
                                While I appreciate your advice and ingenuity, I think that if you enjoy reading the Fairfax content, then you should pay the small amount they are asking to do so. Not for any righteous, must-not-steal reasons but because if no-one pays for it they will be gone before long and that is not good for the diversity of Australian press.

                                I honestly don't want to climb up on any high horse over this but it is my humble opinion that a credible alternate view to Murdoch is critical and worth the price of a beer a week.
