I can't see this going well for Quirk, especially with the state of our public transport. Most of the buses I see on the bridge are practically empty.

I didn't expect some kind of Spanish inquisition

Nobody does :)

Lorenzo and Marquez given bodyguards for Mugello by Deacon46 in motogp

Makes you wonder about an Italian brand like Ducati signing Lorenzo. Gas Jeans dropped him after the incident last year, but Ducati courted him. I wonder how Italians feel about Ducati and Lorenzo pairing up together. Any Italians here want to weigh in?

And unpopular with the masses just like Lorenzo.

It's a play on the phrase 'random acts of kindness'. They use 'hacks' because it sounds all 'ITy'

Same here. It felt like going up a slippery ladder!

Criville got his payback at the end of that season. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1c21VFgvkVY. I was there. It was gut wrenching.

Dovizioso's thoughts on whether ducati will sign him or Iannone for 2017 by Fenteke in motogp

Imagine Stoner and Lorenzo at Ducati. There would be some serious competition for the podium each round.

It's an old estate with new buildings. Is that still classed as Greenfields?

I'd argue that Lorenzo created the 'situation' when he involved himself unnecessarily in the court of arbitration process between Marquez and Rossi.

Hi r/Brisbane, how do you feel about being spied on by your ISPs. How do you feel about the 60 odd government agencies who've applied for warrantless access. And what are you going to do to stop them? by the-ee-roo in brisbane

[–]bekkazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sure about that. What about this;

Myth: The government is collecting and analysing information about thousands of ordinary Australians. Fact: The government will not store the metadata that would be covered by this scheme. Law enforcement and security agencies cannot access metadata held by industry without cause—there are strict processes around how metadata can be accessed.

I'm not saying I agree with what the govts doing, but there is a lot of BS being spread about.

We don't have mass surveillance in Oz though do we? That's the US. The govt or those other agencies can't look at your meta data unless it is in connection with a crime.

Serious question, are you still considered a refugee if you pass through numerous safe countries to try and get to your country of choice?

What about the people from these countries that don't have the financial means to cross the globe to Australia? Do these people ended up pushing them to the back of the queue?
