All this talk about guns has scared everyone away. No cricket on today? It's a crap day for me on ebay too.

I had some commuter lights, skewers, and some disc hubs for MTB's, and a derailleur. There's also some Dura-Ace cleats and Fox gloves. We're just waiting for some new stuff to arrive.

They have no seam down the middle, so less perenium irritation.
They are usually thicker, so less saddle soreness.
The chamois and padding cover a larger area, meaning more overall comfort if you get the right size.
On the down side, ladies nicks look like ladies nicks from behind.
The wider and thicker padding area means they jutt out from your butt like the lip of an aircraft carrier, but I don't care so much. My arse is also very happy with the arrangement. 
BTW: I alternate between ladies and Castelli (which have NO PADDING, just chamois). Call me a girl, but I had to start out that way when I was 22kg heavier. The fleshy bits under my pelvic bones would never have forgiven me if I hadn't.

Hope someone cares:
Played in Mulwala last night, and we drove home coz we finished early (1am).
At 4:15 am in Avenel, Hosking put 56 litres of leaded petrol in his diesel, but luckily didn't start it.
We had to get the tank drained, and WE HAD TO WAIT OVER 4 HRS FOR THE RACV!!!
So, we were up all night, and got home at 12pm
UUUGGGG
boo hoo
The local RACV guy basically bullshitted to us and went back to sleep, deciding he
wasn't gunna get there 'til he was good and ready, which was 8:30am

Eh? Why didn't you just push the bush basher up the road away from any street lights, pull the fuel hose from the tank and drain the cocktail into the gutter (causing an environmental disaster), then push it back and have another crack at putting the wrong fuel in?
