  1. As somebody who has worked in construction for over 30 years, I can tell you definitively that this synopsis is far too simplistic. You have not factored in a bunch of issues that regularly contribute to cost blowouts - many of them having little to do with the ethics of contractors or the lack thereof. These include, but are not limited to: - Changes to the scope of work / clients brief - latent conditions - rise and fall clauses - liquidated damages clauses - incompetent design, engineering or project management - frustration of contract - inclement weather - complex legal arrangements and regulatory requirements Construction projects and the myriad of contracts associated with them are anything but simple.
  2. a liberal floater?
  3. We're plenty quick enough, we just need to minimise / reduce the drops and we will be punching into the end zone far more regularly.
  4. Or leftist-greens in general the world over. Birds of a deluded feather.
  5. A press secretary who calls out fake news, hits back at leftist media propaganda and is easy on the eye to boot - What's not to like about Kayleigh? Long may she reign!
  6. Can someone please explain something to the dumb Aussie who loves to bet on the NFL: Why oh why in US betting lines for a two- headed contest does the inconsistency exist where some teams receive a full point start (or "spread") whilst for others there is a fractional points start? For example - why are the Bills giving the Jets +7 instead of + 6.5 or + 7.5?? Who the hell wins the bet if the Bills win 21-14? Is this a deliberate scam? What am i not getting here?
  7. First point - there is still no guarantee that we will see a 16-game regular season. And who knows what a compromised season would even look like and which teams would be advantaged or disadvantaged. Second point - We have lost very little in terms of personnel. Zo was our biggest loss, whilst Shaq and Phillips have been swapped out for Addison and Butler + Harry coming back from the ACL. We also made solid gains both in trading and FA. I also believe we might have struck gold in the draft, although time will tell. And our 1st and 2nd year rookies will be one year older and wiser and they - along with the rest of the roster - will no doubt still be burning over the WC loss. All things being equal, we are more likely than not to improve dramatically - which you would think puts us in pole position to win the division. This automatically means a home WC or divisional round game. Anything less than this would be dissapointing and could be considered a failure. So a top 6 ranking is not a stretch by any means.
  8. Not sure a kicker drafted with pick 188 can be considered a reach. But I agree with the premise of the article - Beane has donned his wizards hat yet again.
  9. Renewable energy myth smashed, debunked, buried and cremated by....MICHAEL FRIGGIN' MOORE!! Yes, that's right....one of their own has fully exposed the world's greatest sham!! You just couldn't make it up ? Well worth watching, except that even after taking a bite out of their own global warming crap sandwich, they still cannot admit that global warming policy is a complete waste of time and money. Grab some popcorn from your eco-microwave and enjoy!
  10. PFF had Throckmorton as our ideal day 3 target: https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2020-nfl-draft-ideal-targets-for-all-32-nfl-teams-on-day-3
  11. Louis Riddick and Daniel Jeremiah are RAVING about him!! Along with GunnerBills endorsement - I'm sold!!
  12. Beane is a seriously good GM. Re-signing him long term is an absolute MUST.
  13. He's so good, he's so good...He's Epanesa good!!
  14. A bit harsh on Booger, but deserved a laugh.
  15. University of Vladivostok?
  16. To break this down: This incoherent, mumbling, bumbling fool is - at least mathematically - a 50% chance of becoming the leader of the free world. My dear God!
  17. B-Man, the only crime I see here is the lunatic left's continued overuse of the word 'racist' to the point where it is now almost meaningless. You can also add 'sexist, mysoginist and homophobe' to that list.
  18. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Aussie conservative blogger and writer who eats lefties for lunch - the great Tim Blair:
  19. I expect nothing less than a full root and branch investigation, Trump style. Most to blame for this debacle: GOLD - China....SILVER - W.H.O.....BRONZE - Leftist media I expect Trump to do the following - no stone left unturned, no individual spared from merciless scrutiny, 100% unfiltered accountability. You can bank on it!! Trump's 2016 election victory is proving to be the political equivalent of the guy who invested all his money in Microsoft shares the day before Bill Gates launched Windows 95. Its the investment that keeps on giving!
  20. I never thought I'd see a Tim Blair piece on TBD and referenced by USA Today - but I am glad I did. A very witty conservative is our Tim. FYI, and to put Tim's piece in context - Sir Donald Bradman is the greatest batter in the history of cricket - Australia's Babe Ruth if you will. A brilliant response to the Chinese communists IMO.
  21. That's because there are none. He speaks clearly - minus the waffle - and gives good technical insights on each and every play. Right up there with the best in the business IMO. There is NO justifiable rationale for labelling Booger a poor NFL commentator.
