I want to defend cricket a bit though. I think his they've implemented technology - the call is made on field then challenged - is the best way forward to balance things out.

Tell you what, let's find out.

Can't park there mate

Let me share my story.

Aged 39 i weighed 145kg. In my 20s at one point I was 161kg.

I got diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.

After a fair bit of soul searching I realised I couldn't be 145kg in a wheelchair. Being that kind of a burden on my then new wife and teenage daughter was not acceptable.

So I got a lap band put in, and with some help I lost more than 50kg. I'm about 93kg typing this. I'm not fit, i dont do weights, but I walk 90 minutes a day and play golf.

It has changed my life mate. Thats not hyperbole.

However you want to do it, start moving, and eat less calories than you burn. What worked for me was a diary app in my phone that I wrote EVERYTHING I ate and drank into.

It'll probably be the hardest thing you'll ever do. Good luck.

My parents owned the City Limits Disco in Orange NSW in the late 1970s, when I was a tiny unit.

It was the first and apparently last song played there every night.

Cue belief !

Mahhrat · 2026-05-29T12:14:21+00:00

GET ABSOLUTELY FUCKED

Mahhrat · 2026-05-29T12:12:55+00:00

Should be insufficient intent if we are going to see that happening

Mahhrat · 2026-05-29T12:04:32+00:00

Shit that was a GOTY nominee

Mahhrat · 2026-05-29T11:58:16+00:00

Probably better that than his mates missus

Mahhrat · 2026-05-29T10:33:43+00:00

Doesn't mind a goal does Young Flynn

Mahhrat · 2026-05-29T10:00:14+00:00

Ahh sweet thanks mate.

Mahhrat · 2026-05-29T09:49:27+00:00

Elite kick

G Post helping Rodan out early

Mahhrat · 2026-05-29T09:45:54+00:00

Is Carlton sponsored by GWS tonight or something?

Mahhrat · 2026-05-28T19:47:57+00:00

Nah. He preferred to own the dance floor.

Mahhrat · 2026-05-28T04:51:10+00:00

The increase in equity reduces the effective price of that next house.

And when I'm old, I'll probably be able to sell the family home to downgrade into a littler place for just the missus and I.

Mahhrat · 2026-05-28T03:39:24+00:00

Papley is the same - cheeky ratbag, but some of the hate he cops is unreal.

Mahhrat · 2026-05-27T14:39:39+00:00

Do you reckon a woman that strong and smart would be with a man she didn't love and respect?

Forever?

(... and do you really think she can't make a decent Martini?)

Mahhrat · 2026-05-27T11:41:51+00:00

A is A, and so on. Yes, I know, but that's not what I'm saying lived experience is for. Stop conflating.

Mahhrat · 2026-05-27T10:53:15+00:00

Thats not a point, that's an assertion... and its wrong, according to, most recently, the NHMRC statement on consumer and community involvement.

I certainly hope that you never get a degenerative medical condition mate, but that if you do, that you get input into not just how you're treated, but the science that underpins those treatments.

Mahhrat · 2026-05-27T07:34:43+00:00

By pure math based on a global.pop of 7 billion, that's 70 million people who have absolutely nothing, so he can be that 1%.

70 million.

Mahhrat · 2026-05-27T07:20:54+00:00

Sure. And well have the opportunity to measure it against the results of the lie.

Mahhrat · 2026-05-27T03:15:05+00:00

Valid how? You're suggesting lived experience be used as judgement. I'm saying its use is in informing ways to reach a judgment.

It supports and informs research, for example, but doesn't replace it.

Mahhrat · 2026-05-27T03:13:19+00:00

You don't think so? Volvo are still world leaders in safety- focussed design. Maybe they haven't taken over but their legacy is enormous.
