Who's going to have a slice of Tamada. -- Deevo Geraldton WA, The Nanny State (® Corks) http://members.westnet.com.au/mckenzie
X-No-archive: yes I've been waiting for years for someone to say "attack of the killer Tamada"... Clem
X-No-archive: yes And speaking of Tamada; remember that Biaggi is now supposed to have Repsol sponsorship and top-spec parts? Funny how Tamada's customer-bike was quicker. Clem
Was it? I thought Max was quickest with a 340.something kmh pass? big (maybe Tamada has kess aerodynamic drag that Max + his ego?))
X-No-archive: yes Iain Chalmers wrote; I didn't see the top-speed figures. I was just meaning that Tamada was a fair bit in front of Max in the race. ~ Maybe! (although he looks to be a fairly big bloke for a Japanese but I don't think I've seen him standing alongside Max... or his ego.) Clem
Japanese special perhaps? Never mind Biaggi's never going to a full factory bike according to Biaggi. What could he use as an excuse then? -- Deevo Geraldton WA, The Nanny State (® Corks) http://members.westnet.com.au/mckenzie
On a not-entirely-unrelated note... ....last night's Nightline on the ABC, during the program intro segment at the start, where the feature stories are compressed together into one voiced-over sneak preview... ....two adjacent news items, ALP schmoozing Peter Garret and the Libs schmoozing the Merkins about stationing their troops in Darwin; voice-over comment seguing one story into the next, "...and US forces get the nod...".
You're joking, right??? If not, thats an _excellent_ piece of work by whoever slipped it past their boss big
Quite the opposite, if anything, I'd say... ....I can quite easily picture some nice-one-centuwions doing a lap of the studio behind the cameras. A few years back, when Peter Costello was going toe-to-toe with the former NT chief minister and Lib apparatchik Shane Stone, one of the headlines announcing Costello's gaining the upper hand read, "Costello Gets Blood out of Stone". Respect due...
In aus.motorcycles on Tue, 8 Jun 2004 14:22:47 +1000 The Fin Review used to specialise in headlines like that. They had some true groaners. They still have some, but not as often on the front page. Many years ago on ABC radio (6WF I think), I recall an electoral "ad" by the Leader of the Opposition which was followed by "Nowhere Man" and then a few minutes later another by the Prime Minster, followed by "Fool On The Hill".

Arrgh; everyone's doing it now. I just heard Downer say "If Latham gives Garrett the nod it'll be a setback for our country" Clem
Cactus used to do the Nowhere man riff every time Alexander Downer was on back in the days when Keating was PM. -- Deevo Geraldton WA, The Nanny State (® Corks) http://members.westnet.com.au/mckenzie
Incontinentius Buckets? Oh, I would have thought she'd be Tamama. -- Deevo Geraldton WA, The Nanny State (® Corks) http://members.westnet.com.au/mckenzie
