the all aussie dribble thread!

[Steve NW WI]

Another sad day in motorsports, RIP Allan Simonsen. Killed earlier today in a crash at LeMans.

As a spectacle it was one hell of a game last night. Three Aussies stretchered off, a guy on debut scores two tries and saves another, and it goes down to the wire. Thought the Wallabys did enough to win that game if it weren't for their kicking woes and am disappointed they didn't.

It was a good game to watch, that last kick, well how does he feel after that and there is no where to hide on the field.

Right out in front too.

Have you guys got a back line for the next game?

If you didn't know already, we know Robbie holds grudges big time, but I think with such a big hole in your backline stocks and kicking woes he might have no choice but to bring Cooper back in?

just checked my bees hives sumthin I been learning last few years as I collect swarms when needs must and prefer to relocate and so often bring one home. 1 out of 3 kaput and number 2 going down hill fast the tough long dry spring with no flower likely culprit. I given sugar water to the one with best chance tis shame I not a keen keeper & still leaning to get used to them even with my smoker and suit on but hate to see em starve n fail

I have a little job for you, I have a very large hive in a tool cabinet at the farm, my brother let them stay there maybe 5 years ago or more. they are ruling the roost there but I intend to get rid of them perminately. Anyone want the hive its yours.

I once knew a troop of baboons who could solve your bee problem in no time... somewhat destructive, but also rather effective. It's amazing how they use team work to get the job done.



Funny fact: A group of baboons are sometimes referred to as a congress, which is sometimes actually quite accurate

As an ex-racer I hate motorsport prangs.
Several times that could've been me 15-20 years ago but when in the cockpit you don't even consider the potential consequences, it's just a calculated risk and you have such a strong belief in your own abilities to get out of trouble that you know you'll be fine.

Sitting outside watching someone else your blood runs cold...... :msp_sad:


That was a weird snap, just like a massive over-correction, I'm wondering if it was a mechanical, almost like a half shaft snapping, if the RH/inside one broke it'd turn you immediately left or I'm wondering of the car ahead that had had the lose had dropped fluid ?
ie. the car slides and immediately you correct but within a short space of road you have grip again yet you have opposite lock on so the car turns hard left ?

You can tell a pro driver, as soon as it was gone he was hard on the brakes, but the wall is too close.......

Brighty is over there racing ATM.
He won the FF race from '95 I posted up last week.

Someone with a keen eye and a sense of humour applied that collective noun

That sounds suspiciously like the cunning old chook down the road who rings up saying she has some wood for me for free and neglects to admit it's still in the tree sandwiched between and standing ominously over the house and power lines with a postage stamp of a drop zone and the pedantic old prick of a neighbour will be onto the council if any blades of his grass are so much as threatened with harm.

I do get this a lot and that why I lean't to handle bees and other critters. More often hive once walled up its not practical to extract and save as do more harm to queen and swam & me. I will more often sadly bomb them out if its not a easy ball of bees or location pick and take away.

Just canceled another owl nest box climb today as my assistance a no go shame tip top weather this weekend cool but sunny


Yesterday was good shot 500 yards 51, 49, 54, out 60 score I'm startin to worry the club 308 Omark and trick gear gurus with my weenie no1 varmiter

theres no need to degrade the baboon species with a comment like that rudy,i like to think of our polies as a roadside repair kit, a bunch of tools that are useless and most times get you in more sheet than out of it

So what or how is the simplest way to eratacate these little chaps.

Coopex Residual Insecticide. You can buy it in little sachets (cheap) so just sprinkle it around the hive entrance (probably best at night when they're less active). Otherwise and granules containing Bifenthrin as an active stuffs 'em.
Pest controllers around here use the Coopex gear to knock them out of Telstra exchanges etc. It's safe too so you won't end up growing a 3rd testicle which you may or may not appreciate.

Should pass that little tip onto Lance Armstrong, although there's probably no guarantee on how it may or may not react with the rest of the juice he used to be on.

Maybe a NEW nut that can climb Alpe d'Huez 5 minutes quicker than the rest of his body ?

Bungeeeeeeeee !

Mate if Coopex can grow a 3rd testicle then I should have 7 the size of watermelons after some of the chemicals I've been exposed to over the years.
Lance must sit a bit off angle surely?

My bad Matt, he needs the nasty stuff to grow another one

just before Neil goes and puts these little buggers to sleep, we are talking Honey bees right? It would be a damn shame to kill a hive of native bees, especially since they could be the saviour of the human race....

On anorther note, Rivets, the often forgotten, underestimated engineering soloution! Does any one know of books on design, sizing etc for rivet usage?

Caroll Smith's book on fasteners more than likely covers rivets.

The little I know is that normal blind/pop rivets aren't for structural use.

For structural use you need a rivet that retains it's shank/stem that breaks off (or use a solid rivet) so it has some strength in shear.

I used to use Avdel rivets for critical stuff, ie racecars.

They make rivets that rupture at the workface and then pull the stem in, rather than at the end then compress towards the sheet/plate/whatever, it just made things more secure.

If you want water/vapour proof, use a sealed rivet, this is what i always used in coolroom construction.
