saw it too.....you're right Thylo. The bit where she sez "You're not going to turkey slap me are you?" then runs over and hops into bed between them both and they do it.....hmmm.

Apparently Rita got TS'd last year as well.....nothign came of that.

your forgetting that this is a show that plays to the lowest common denominator and has contestants that represent this. 10 wnat it to be raunchy, even contraversial. why else stock it with gay guys and have them not tell anyone, have a matching set of mother and daughter enhanced airbags, provide shower cameras etc. its just cheap trash with a good publicity team. the more i ignore it, the more blissfull life is.

But, i think girls should not be using that as a basis for what to aspire to when they get older, but there is plenty of other exposure to similar things in society that are potentialy worse. I know that the same, and worse went on when i was their age! The smart will see it for the **** it is, the no so lit up will probably aspire to be the same.

Was it concenting? looks like it if she was feeling one of them up. I think instead of the public being outraged, headlines in the major newspapers and pollies scoring points with an ageing conservative voting public has anyone asked her what she thinks? people are different, some guys get off on pain , intimidation etc as a sex act, some girls like to be intimidated, some girls are very dominant. Times are changing and along with them peoples attitudes, especially those of younger generations. Its probably as shocking to us as the free love generation was to their parents. not that i think they represent the same thing, its just an example

Id never even heard of turkey slapping till SWMBO told me about it last night. im filling it my mind right next to the dirty sanchez and tea bagging!

AAAAGH....AGREE-AMUNDO!! Overrated, overpriced bogan beer!!

Most overrated thing since Aaron Hamill

But I shouldn't talk, coz I'm still a girly Carlton Cold drinker, preferably had at ~2 degrees C.

The only Hahn Ice I can find lately is only 4% alcohol

Tell ya what I can no longer stand, and that's most CUB stuff of tap. It must be the kegs that piss me off. :p Nothing worse that a warm Carlton Draught pot in some bogan pub in Frankstown

isnt Crownie just the top half of the VB vat then marke dup 300%

Ill take Guinnes or Coopers over that trash any day, not that im a big drinker.

The BB contestants definitely represent the lowest common denominator as you say. I was watching Rove last week (or the week before) and the evictee being interviewed couldn't put a coherent sentence together. In fact I was having trouble working out just how much of what she was saying represented words from the English language.

Hit the nail on the head, HDT. Lowest common denominator crap where people should laugh along until someone gets hurt. Then we should laugh more!

Heck, the only time I ever watched the crap was during the 'Up Late/Uncut' show! I mean, if you're going to watch idiots be idiots, you may as well have boobies to distract you from the drivel coming out of their mouths. I mean, I couldn't understand what half of them were saying anyway, so once you take away the witty repartee, what's left? Boobies.

Ah yes, beer commentary. My current top 5 in no particular order-

1) Hargreaves Hill Pale Ale
2) James Squire Pilsner
3) Scharers Lager
4) Monteiths Pilsner
5) Wanaka Beerworks Cadrona

Hrm....looks like I have some serious hunting down to do. Lot of newies to try in this list -

I flicked over to BB one night and some dumb BIATCh was sitting there saying..."You know what, I'm really hot, even if I don't have make up on I'm still really hot to look at".

Lasted about 10 seconds till I switched back to the ABC.

I suppose the one bonus of being a Coldie drinker is that no-one is going to pinch your beers form the fridge..:p

And as opposed to some bogan Frankston watering hole I went to the Mountain Goat brewery last Friday nite....definitely a different kind of decor...and no CUB product on tap either....:D

Thats funny. Based on that first photo I was going to say I bet she looks hot in latex, but thought I'd better hold my tongue...err, fingers. Now after the second shot, I'll say it. "I bet she looks hot in latex" Definitely looks like she knows how to party. Not having watched the doco, I'm struggling to see how you get nerdy.



Looks like I'm driving to Melbourne tomorrow to plumb a mate's new restaurant in Richmond. Might as well chuck a bike on top of the tools. Any decent non-hammerfest group rides on the weekend for a fairly out of form bloke?
Wattsy, your chance to have at me in person for my 'scum' comment:D

Hey...anyone got any comments/knowledge about Tesschner (sp?) frames?

And don't worry Thylo, i'm not thinking of going custom behind your back:D, just going along to a promo thingy for them tonight with my younger bro.

The honeymoon is over - I took my new bike out today for a ride in the rain :)

Yep, any group ride I'm in is guaranteed to not be a hammerfest.:D

If you are in Richmond try the Mascot Cycles ride. 7am Saturdays from the shop in Bridge Road. Fairly easy pace if I recall

I'm quite happy to do around three hours and get out of the city if possible. That one qualify?

those guys go backwards!! :) Or at least that's how it looks. I guess we've all gotta have our recovery days.

there's millions of them on the weekends -- I suggest ringing around a few of the shops.

Yeah, as far as I remember its about 2.5 to 3 hours, depending on which turnaround point you use. (Some of the group turn at Black Rock, some go on to Mordialloc i think. Doesn't really "get out of the city" rather it follows the bayside suburbs along the infamous "Beach Rd" - favourite haunt of 531 and wattsy and 000's of other dudes. It's a basically flat ride & will probably have a headwind one direction.

i haven't been this hot for an office chick since I first saw Jarna Vent :p

bbw asked for a ride that wasn't a hammerfest - hence my suggestion of the Mascot ride.:) And coz he mentioned Richmond. I suppose it depends on where he will be staying too.

Sunday at 7.30am from Bikelife in Hawthorn/Auburn goes up into the Dandenongs at a reasonable pace if you don't want to ride flat roads

ok so lets assume I'm up for a little pain. Any others? Getting out of town? Sorry I've no idea about Melbourne suburbs or bike shops. Staying in Fitzroy.

Dunno much. Only had a couple of dealings with Peter early on when I was doing my full susser. He wanted to charge me 'retail' for Easton tubing, so I said 'no thanks' and bought it in the US. Not a huge fan of a builder being a sole distributor for a particular brand of raw material. It's kinda anti-competitive.

Don't know much about about the Teschner/Leggera thing either. I think it might be some Product Manager leveraging the Teschner name to create some kind of 'superbrand'. Peter provided the name and the designs, someone else uses their connections in Asia to make some tupperware bikes.

That's my impression, but I could be way off-base.

Thanks for your input Thylo. I think what i'm seeing tonight will probably be the "tupperware" that you refer to.

There's always the Hell Ride (7am Sat at the clock tower in Black Rock) if you want a little pain. Massive pack + high speed. Plenty of tosser hanger-ons too......

I like Big Brother. That is all.

I like boobies. And that is not all.


How fast is the hell ride? If it gets above 45kph for too long I'll get dropped. Gourd, 7am. Now I remember why I don't do many group rides.
