Very interesting story.
Had a thought it might have been boxing as they are the only federation still with a weight limit in place.

Obviously the in person version is a lot better/more in depth

While we are talking competition what does everyone do with the medals and trophies they have won over the years.
Have boxes of them in the shed, shame to throw them out but what can you do with them.
I did actually frame one along with competitors pass and podium pictures, not one of mine and hasn't stopped it getting buried behind other shit on a shelf.
I know there are plenty of blokes on here that have had a bit of success so have any of you found anything to do with them.

Mine that are left are in the garage.
The kids are on shelves in their room, they were in the kitchen but it got clustered and dusty.

I prefer winning prizes over trophies

only ever wont trophies and medallions for darts comps, nothing big time, just local stuff, they are stacked on a couple of shelves in the lounge room above the telly. Favourite ones are Best and Fairest, 180s and singles trophies. Dunno what will happen to them, spose they will eventually just get chucked but only after I have croaked.

Just watched the video
Was sure it had to be boxing, fancy another boxer competing at 2 Olympics, captaining the team at the second and then being to old but a rise in the age making him eligible again, ACT based as well.

Video was good, no doubt they are marked, dad had a apprentice that worked with him that was a boxer, won a few tittles competed at com games etc, plenty of publicity and couldn't step into a local pub without someone wanting to take a swing and make a name for themselves.

Thanks Rabbz it was a good read.

Awesome thread hijack Rob and James lets get away from the the sewage system talk and find out who it is Rob.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.
Am on the hunt already. Sydney Olympics I believe was the one they competed at. If memory serves their brother also competed at the same Olympics.

Did they qualify with 587 points and come 27th out of 48

Spelling Nazi time, its YOU'RE, a shortened version of YOU ARE, not YOUR which is to do with ownership, i.e. that is YOUR smashed up ute.

Sean I can understand, him being a hill billy and all , but you others should really know better.

I may know better but I don't care for your tone.

[220]

I do know better but honestly DGAF.

Camel I don't get the reference to mounding a cooking pot. I am assuming you used hill as a verb and billy was a reference to some sort of cooking pot.

Maybe you meant the urban definition with billy
a cute guy who is nice to his girlfriend and makes her laugh alot a billy is someone you either want to marry or have a long nice relationship.
or
Most commonly refers to men who create a passive 'magnetic pulse' attracting women to give them sexual pleasure. This may be at times unwanted, however it is a genuine part of their life and is irreversible
or
Billy as in billy goat (must be a complement on my masculinity and virility)

surely you didn't mean a truncheon or bong.

Actually I have no idea what you were trying to say, your grasp of the English language escapes this poor county hick.

Exactly which county do you come from?

Oh, and do you play cricket in that county?

Parish of Adelong, county of Wynyard, play cricket for the parish not the county.

Their, there and they're are easy. As are your, you're, yore and yaw.

The one that really annoys me is the misuse of then and than.

They're not interchangeable but since our educators decided to teach spelling phonetically we have generations who have no idea that they are even different words.

FYI, Then is chronological, e.g. This happened first then that happened next. Than is comparative as in; This is larger than that.

I write, proofread and edit for a living, so I am naturally inclined to be annoyed by poor spelling, grammar and semantics.

However, some of the crap that comes across my desk is appalling - by very educated folk.

I have a few other pet hates, such as "rediculous" (there is no 'e' in ridiculous),
'loose' instead of 'lose' unless something isn't tight,
'intensive purposes' instead of 'intents and purposes',
'should of' instead of 'should have' or if you are really clever try the contraction 'should've'.

People ask why it is important, well in many cases it goes to an overall impression. Silly, obvious spelling and grammar mistakes lowers the credibility of the author in the eyes of the reader.

Rightly or wrongly, people equate poor spelling with lower intelligence and assign a lower value to a poorly spelled passage than they do to a correctly spelled passage.

Finally, if I can teach myself to spell and proofread, then pretty much anyone can, because, obviously, I'm not a candidate to join Mensa.
