Cronulla lost to Brisbane in the NRL yesterday and apparently it's the first time an NRL/NSWRL side has lost three consecutive games despite scoring more tries than their opponents in each.


Half of all plastic ever made has been made in the last 14 years.


That is incredible and actually quite worrying given the recycling efforts over the last generation

I have hope as the next generation know the mistakes of the past, they're onto us! ( Good ).

Not much of a TV watcher but Ninja Warrior captured me last night, I wish it was around when I was younger.

Yeah, the ball and chain asked me why am I watching it, my reply was "It reminds me a bit of It's a Knockout", she was a country girl growing up and couldn't relate.
She's right into fitness atm so it didn't take long before she was there barracking next to me.

My Wife was right into it last night, I heard from the other room "how the hell can Mr Universe fail yet skinny Nerdlinger gets through?!?".

You need the right balance of strength and agility.

It was pretty awesome watching the surfer lad try and go up the mega wall.

Agree with your first bit, Gladiator didn't reel me in but something like this has.

I'd prefer to watch it without all the bullshit "behind the scenes" stuff about the contestants, just keep them rolling up and taking on the challenges.

It's awesome seeing what people can achieve when they put their mind to it.

That’s awesome.
Hopefully you are only 6-7 years away from restricted membership where the benefits really kick in
