It seems a little stranger, yet much more exciting the second time around, and COVID-19 sure hasn’t stopped us all dancing around the lounge room in our underwear on TikTok and shouting it to the rooftops (a la Nathan Cleary). So stock up the bar fridge, fire up the barbie, gather 9 of your mates, … Continued

The three football codes are approaching the starting line, but one of them is shying at the stalls and needs to be vetted (did anyone say Rugger? You are correct!) League has taken an early lead courtesy of PVL who knows how to run a race, and the AFL is settling in behind for a … Continued

A donkey is having a drink in a pub when he spots a horse at the bar so goes over for a chat. “What do you do for a living then?” asks the donkey. “I’m a racehorse” comes the reply. “Oh right,” says the donkey, “have you won any races then?”. “Well”, says the horse, … Continued

Still not much happening in the world of sports trendsetters. We learned that some anti-vaxxers are actually pretty hot, and how the NZ Warriors had flown into Oz and were going straight to quarantine. The ISO story was pretty light on detail – at least we could have had a breakdown on what food they were … Continued

We are getting there kids. But if there was any ever doubt that an extensive IQ test was required to play NRL or AFL, a few brilliant heads have put that to rest the past week. Seriously, if brains were taxes, these guys would get a refund every year. And we checked the spelling on … Continued

Unionists the country over will be outraged there’s no public holiday for ANZAC Day, but that’s probably because the boffins in the Bra (Canb’ra, not Marou’bra) decided we’ve spent way too much time relaxing at home already.

Everything is planned out but the honeymoon is a bit of a sore point. The service and reception go without a hitch and the couple set off on their honeymoon. Given he has had … Continued

So a plague of Biblical proportions has threatened  our health, ruined our economy, closed our pubs, kept us from the track and banned us from beers with our mates. You could almost be forgiven for throwing yourself in a bathtub with a toaster.  But somewhere, over the rainbow, there are still horses running around. Bloody good … Continued

So, someone chowing down on a cave-chicken changed the world forever. It has robbed us of our AFL, NRL, NBA, MLB, and everyone (who still has a job) now has to WFH. WTAF?  Thank Christ (hey, it’s that time of year right?) we’ve still got racing. And the timing couldn’t be better, with no less than four … Continued

Bloody hell…. pubs, clubs, hotels… all shut. But of course, this is Australia, so the bottle shops stay open. Mind you, so do the hairdressers. So at least we will be able to keep our mullets trimmed over the coming Winter months. And what to do for the Easter trip. Mrs McPuntface has suggested the … Continued
