Don't know about suin Styles?
More like Paul 'Whoopsie' Willows gettin done for GBH on that second penalty givaway - fairly clattered the youth!
Good old Fox sports!
What's that Ozzie channel that covers all the diverse programmes?
Used to look forward to Monday nights 7.30 (?), Premiership 'footy' followed by 2 episodes of SouthPark!
Ahh! Halcyon days!

SBS. Fine network it is too. "The home of soccer in Australia"
They haven't got Euro 2004 though. They got the last world cup but ch9 had fifteen games of their choice....ofcourse they picked the final and the semis etc.
Overall SBS is an excellent tely station.

SBS! - that's it! I can sleep now!!!! ;D Yeah, the chap who presented it seemed quite decent too - probly better than Des since he switched to ITV! The other channels, I thought, were crap! 3 sets of adverts through a half-hour TV show!? ??? During the Olympics - how biased was Channel 9!? No coverage of ANY other nation during the Games, just endless interviews with the Thorpedo - even when he didn't win! I only found out we'd won the rowing from another Pom on the Monday at work - pathetic! No wonder the Ozzies think they're the best at every sport - no coverage of what's going on outside Oz, except for the excellent SBS. Makes you appreciate the BBC more when it comes to coverage. Anyway, back to school work  |

Yes they do tend to be arther biased here. When Kieran Perkins got gold in Atlanta they reran it with a voiceover that said "Anyone who didn't have a lump in their throat wasn't an Aussie" UGH!!! UGH!!!! Yes the commercial telly here is generally poor. The news coverage from the three commercial networks is laughable. But the two non-commercial ones...SBS and ABC are excellent. |

Heard about the guy who got bit by the Wobygong shark, then drove for medical assistance - with the shark still attached to his leg!
Sheer class!
Could just imagine him walking into a bar:
The usual please Bruce, and one for me mate!
