    I didn't know the Australian army uses M-16's. Why don't the Australian government equip them with more up to date stuff like Heckler and Koch G36 or 416.

    Sorry I took poetic license, thinking noone would know about the F88 Steyr. They have a M4, short barrel variant of M16 for the special forces, but no, Oz army doesn't use M16s

    Somebody must be making a lot of money in South Africa at the moment. Probably cost 2 cents to make in China, if you bought 100,000 of them. All up cost you $2000, sell at $10 each. Still make $1 million bucks.

    carry on wayward sons

    yep, exactly what i meant. hence the possibility that they'll import players. but that's okay in this case since what everybody wants at the end of the day are good matches.

    really hilarious pics BTW... both you and vien deserve the thumbs up for (graphic) creativity if not anything else :D:D

    Yeah that ball is causing a lot of problems. I don't remember watching so many low scoring games. The strikers kick the ball and 9 times out of 10 the ball is going to fly 5 metres above the goals.

    Yeah, Image a whole stand of them going off at the Yonex Grand Prix :) ... Loke Poh would kill you for sure for selling them .. you'll be rich but dead :p
    We can sell them at badminton tournaments .. to people like that French guy, market them as repellent against loud Nemesis supporters :p

    those horns are shocking, like loud mozzies - a naturally irritating sound that puts anyone off (much like Nemesis supporters:p)

    I guess if you are GregZella you're not going to be too worried about overstepping the service line either.

    Vien, the boy in your single group won two U15(WSBA and SEBA) this year and I lost to him by 3 points just few weeks ago. Watch out, you trophie hunter! He is younger, taller and faster than you :) Good luck!

    Thanks for the info twister ... but if he beats me it'll be even better .. I'll be able to go to the D grade knock out stage fairly without having to do an Italian football style performance :D

    P.S. He might be, younger, taller, faster, fitter and possibly prettier then me, but at least i can claim to be heavier then him :p

    Its no longer just about getting trophies anymore .. it's about stopping Nemesis from getting the C/D grade trophies :D
