Everyone's a bit slow in OZ toninght due to grand final Rubgy League between the brisbane Broncos and league new team Melbourne Storms. It was another top game and the cup is where it should be , with the Broncos. Also a magnificient final gallop by Broncos hard man Shane Webke after 254 games.
Much better that that aerial ping pong pansy turnout last night, fair dinkum those mexicans can't even block the sandgropers from stealing the limelight.
viewed you profile, 'jtravolta' and assume that indeed this is the one and only OZ home grown. That is certainly a magnificient gesture on your behalf and no doubt there will plenty of whorthwhile causes in OZ happy to accept your generosity.
You may or may not have read many threads on this subject relating to charities competing openly on the commercial market against those who don't enjoy the benefits of philanthropy and the charity's non requirement to return a profit. Rightly or wrongly, whether or not they may also be making hay out of depreciation and other business write-offs has also been questioned.
I think your comments demonstrate good observation even though it appears to be a maiden speech. I am not involved in any charity although in the past I have had the dubious challenge of having to compete on the commercial market against such subsidised opposition.
it is a pity that the thread opened in a volatile manner and may i express a welcome to you.
