forgot to mention yesterday centeral coast beat melbourne city 2-1 in the a-league. an air francea 350 had a tailk strike in toronto. airlines sohuld be obligated to put families together at no extra cost it is getting ridicilous leaving it to people once onboard to sort it out especially people who are travelling solo. asiana to weigh international passengers again. we can’t affford to cut alcohol taxes and it si not in our national interest due to the health issues binge drinking causes plus we don’t haave themoney if we can’t fix more important things like housing crisis and getting wages moving. labor made the right call in their changes to the stage 3 tax cuts not major changes and gets the money to those who acctually need it. with the brown out nats refusing to understand the need for transmision lines we are never going to avoid brown outs (or black outs) siding with a few idiots who belive conspiracy theories on the issue then the needs of everyone. dutton wants to give south african farmers special treatment over real refugees including thosewho he has made refugees like the people on nauru and manaus as well as those who are fleeing western lead conflicts like gaza and yemen.

  1. kevin and drew (3rd 1st place finish)
  2. frank and margarita
  3. rob and brennan
  4. joe and bill

amazing race season 1 episode 6

6 teams are moved from the sahara to gabes tuinisa before leaving the pitstop. the first clue sends them to the palace hotel in tunis 300 miles away by taxi. the next clue sends them to rome italy by plane and find a clue near the coloseum getting flights is quite hard though. joe/bill book a flight arriving 750pm via zurich which is sold out when kevin/drew try and book it (after threatening joe/bill didn’t help). but at the last minute kevin/drew get tickets for themselves nancy/emily and rob/brennan via lyon france supposed to arrive first. frank/margarita go via london and than geneva (therre was no connection from london) arriving last into rome. lenny/karyn wait all day and get a direct flight. luck runs out for the 3 teams going together firstly joe/bill block the entrance to the gates and a slight physical altercation but it gets worse for them when air france cancels the connecting flight putting them just ahead of frank/margarita after getting to milan and taking the train. the next clue is a detour of “foot” a easy to find monument or “hoof” a horse statue with taxis nearby which makes it better. foot opens 30 miutes earlier though the next morning evening out the teams. the airport incident isolates joe/bill on the spot only lenny/karyn do foot but production diifficultiies put them behind despite it opening earlier the next clue sends them by train to castelfrranco emila via bolonga must travel by train all the way but frank/margaita and joe/bill change to a taxi in bologna giving them an advantage (and a time penalty). nancy/emily due to limited cabs lose time letting the guys go ahead. the roadblock is driving a small italian car through the street to the pitstop while your partner gets a ride in a sport car. the penalities don’t make a difference nor a time credit but its a non-elim leg sparing lenny/karyn.

  1. frank and margarita (first co-ed win)

  3. rob and brennan
  4. kevin and drew
  5. nancy and emily

amazing race season 1 episode 1

i am going back to the begining of the amazing race to do write ups again.

11 teams leave new york city on a race around the world they are.

dave and margeretta married grandparents

matt and ana married from the army

joe and bill life partners (team guido)

pat and brenda working mums

rob and brennan attorneys and best friends.

nancy and emily mother/daughter

kevin and drew fraternity brothers.

after phil the host explains the rules they run up and grab their first clue to fly to johenesburg south africa on either south african airways, aliltalia or swiss air (only south african still exist by that name). the first bit is figuring out they need to go to jfk which the clue doesn’t say some teams haev tourlbe with cabs and ring airlines ahead to find out what lands first (not a brilliant use of time) paul and anmiie save money taking the train instead of a cab but get off at the wrong stop and argue. joe and bill figure out south african will go direct they are on the first flight with frank/margarita rob/brennan lenny/karyn (i think) and pat/brenda. kim/lesslie and dave/mageretta get on the 2nd flight (its not clear which is which) the other 4 are on the third. south african goes direct the others via milan or zurich respecitiviely. the next clue sends them to ryan blake air to sign up for charter flights which has joe/bill frank/margarita and rob/brennan get a lead over the other first flight teams as they are split into two charters. their next stop is livingstone zambia where they can hire a driver for 50 dollars or drive themselves to victoria falls although the clue is cyrptic but isn’t hard to figure out. it is complicated finding the clue at the falls the view stuns kevin/drew. the next clue sends teams to batoka george. there is a fast foward in the canyon which rob/brennan and dave/mageretta go far because of the earlier time gap rob/brennan easily get it they go to songwe village the pitstop in the lead this negates the grandparents lead on the last flight sort of. kevin/drew argue over how to treat the locals. the next clue is the detour of going to a route marker in the george either “air” a zip line and a swing or “land” walk the whole way. several are scared especially paul who almsot quits whiich will be a running gag. the next clue sends them to the pitstop at least according to the edit but there was an unaired roadblcok involve cooking and eating an ostrich egg. there is no prize for first yet the language barrier is an issue for some teams especially matt/ana who fall behind despite getting to the detour before kevin/drew at the back of the pack sealing their fate.

  1. rob and brennan (fast forward)
  2. joe and bill
  3. frank and margarita
  4. lenny and karyn (who got no air time this episode)

  11. matt and ana (eliminated)

next time fight in france and a monumnetal mistake.

Bad weather has hit some parts of Victoria leading to power outages in Shepparton for instance. Qantas has been critiercised for not playing traditional Christmas carols in their lounges fair enough mostly as quite a lot of Christmas songs aren’t traditional or to do with the main meaning of christmas like last Christmas for instance and there are quite a few out there about Santa Claus again not the meaning of christmas not that I want to agree with Bob katter but you do need to have some religious carols and traditional ones at christmas (although avoid angels we have heard on high as that is more annoying than good). Anyway have a merry Christmas and a great time with family if your religious get to a church service on the holiest day of the year (Easter is inconsistent while christmas is always the same day). For the record my favourite christmas carol is away In a manger with silent night a close 2nd.
