Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Well bugger me dead if I’m alive. They’ve done it! Against all odds – bookies Wayne ‘Itin’ Gannon and ‘Crying’ Brian Jorgenson were betting $101 – our indigenous elder friends and prominent racing identities Uncle Miltie Doyle and Uncle Horrie Flynn have felled the Captain! The cynics said that it would never happen, but it […]
A red headed reader from Tewantin with a huge passion for human rights spotted this above on the net and sent it in. Uncle Milty might well be on his traditional summer home of Straddie working furiously to find funding to house the great whale, but he obviously hasn’t forgotten the struggles in the north. […]
Uncle Milty is right. The Captain Cook statue outside the Cock and Bull pub in Cairns should be torn down and burned to a cinder, because the Captain was liar, a rogue and a thief. Cook said NSW and QLD were on the west coast of the continent. He must have been off his head […]
What Sam Kerr did yesterday to seal the Premier League championship for Chelsea is simply outrageous. On a scale of difficulty of 1-10 each goal she scored was the perfect ten, and she did it twice.

Tub thumping Tommy doesn’t think so. That’s because he’s not. With Anzac Day over, and the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign […]
Can you believe in this day and age that Charles and Diana were allowed to be mobbed, and that a Hare Krishna got close enough to put a garland around Di’s neck without her knowing? Bloody hell, what if it was a bomb? It’s a shame Sam Kerr wasn’t born yet, she would have sorted […]
Gee I am getting bloody old. This ad was around when I was a little kid. My generation were brought up with sort of sexism as the norm. It always made me feel uncomfortable, but back then kids from the working class burbs didn’t make waves, they just shut up and swam along with the […]
The eyes of the sporting nation were on Ipswich yesterday, as a race that no-one bar committed punters would ever have known was being run became one of the most watched sporting events in the land, and all because the favourite Sacred Oath was part-owned by a national hero who we lost in terribly unexpected […]
