@CoachLisaA @storm @FOXNRL Nah they’re obsessed with Galvin

[Bruce Atkinson @bruceatkinson17]

@CoachLisaA Sure is. He has been out for so long. He scored a try as well in a good Falcons’ win

@storm @CoachLisaA Will Warbrick is making his comeback from concussion for the Sunshine Coast Falcons today

@RL_Guru It was the rugby league equivalent of Warne’s ball of the century to Gatting

@Tuxy81 Exactly

@BuzzRothfield One was for eye gouging and another for an elbow to the head.

@GevaMentor Congrats on an amazing career Geva. Thrilled I got to see part of it during your time at the Lightning.

10 June 1944. 642 men, women and children were murdered by the German Waffen SS in the village of Oradour-sur-Glane, France. The village was never rebuilt and featured at the opening episode of the classic ITV documentary series World at War.

America, give this a listen. This is how our closest allies now view us. @MarshSongs

@FXMC1957 @YouTube This song was adopted by D Company 6th RAR as they trained to go to Vietnam and arrived there in 1966. A pair of boots became the company logo/patch. D Company fought and won the Battle of Long Tan on August 18, 1966. Australia’s most iconic battle of the Vietnam War

Thanks @Gatwick_Airport. Just arrived but sitting waiting for someone to connect the gate to the plane for 10 minutes so far

@steveknottareea And it’s not a one off

@steveknottareea Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien rode his motorbike down and back. 1400km each way. 14 hour ride in one hit.

@GaryLineker @RestIsPolitics @dcsandbrook @MarinaHyde @Scaramucci @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK @Spotify @GoalhangerPods I enjoyed watching from Australia. Great insight

[Bruce Atkinson @bruceatkinson17]

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK @Scaramucci @MarinaHyde @dcsandbrook Thanks to you all for your analysis. I watched the second stint. Turned off local media outlets in Australia as you guys/girl smashed it. 👍👏

@Cathy_WW1 @RevdPye @CWGC @RossSHouston @MargyMayell @MalcolmCGodfrey @GilesMacDonogh @FAB87F @oldtoonloon @pirateirwin @EdnaKB2 @theskibeagle I will let you know if I do that. That’s an interesting thought about the influenza. I was also thinking about the possibility of suicide as he must have had some demons from the war. If he’d had an accident there might be documentation whereas suicide might’ve been hidden

@Cathy_WW1 @RevdPye @CWGC @RossSHouston @MargyMayell @MalcolmCGodfrey @GilesMacDonogh @FAB87F @oldtoonloon @pirateirwin @EdnaKB2 @theskibeagle I have read through your posts thanks very much. It would be interesting to know how he died and why he went back to England. I am thinking of doing a story on him for Remembrance Day. I am a journo based on the Sunshine Coast
