Seriously, it’s a nice place to be once you get away from the mainstream.

I guess if I had to work in Brisbane, I would definitely consider your location as Brisbane town is not much chop.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Here's a question about commentators - online ones, mainly, but TV ones too, I guess. Why do they almost always say irritating things like "He [a bowler] would have had two more wickets if he hadn't over-stepped those times." My comment is, "no he wouldn't!" By overstepping, he was closer to the wicket that he legally should have been, and that's why they call it a "no ball". By being closer, the ball reached the batsman that much quicker, and illegally so. Who knows what would have happened if he'd been a few inches further back when he let go of the ball? Anybody else bothered by this?
