why the fuck would they want Cormier there again, hes well past his best and hes been there so many times he could apply for residency. Paul Graham wont pay for a real guest poser so Chris comes for the price of a free trip again, pathetic.

On another forum an Australian guy said the women are all frigid and annoying. I thought about the Aussie women I've met and they've all been somewhat icy. Nicole Kidman certainly doesn't shoot down the theory.

No, but they're annoying as hell in other ways.  Sure you're not mistaking self-importance and a sense of entitlement for iciness?

The owner of HCAM (Craig you prolly know him) is happy to pay for my air fares ( Jetstar ) But won't pay for my Chicken Tandoori Wrap and little mini entertainment unit I like to get on the flights. I know it's not a huge deal but I feel like I have to take a stand, know what I mean?

Yeah it would have to be May as he was breaking my balls last week for some shit. I can't keep keep up with this bi monthly schedule it's to inconsistent.

He could easily do 12 issues a year if he stopped looking at pictures of naked men doing the laundry and put some pen to paper

The promotor Paul Graham (Basile's mate) should sling us some bucks for promoting it on GB via this thread ;D

TD is lightyears ahead of anyone in Aus (or southern hemisphere ) for promoting BB.

Fuck Vince Basile, that guy would be tossed out if he was in the vicinity, Fuck Vince and his funeral crashing ways...He goes to the fitness expo takes pics of fitness girls, post them on getbig, then says he would never post a pic of his daughter on getbig, but its ok to post another mans daughter on getbig with out her permission.

yes, but i'am quite lazy when it comes to certain things ;D

Fair enough, but I was hoping you'd do the mission for us, get some pics, etc.  If we leave it up to Basile, 48 of the 50 pics will be of him with some "charming young lady" he met.  Leave it to Quickerblade and it'll be all blury celebrity sister upskirt shots.

Tommy, if you fly over be sure to prebook your kangaroo.  Renting one at the airport without a reservation is a nightmare and you risk having to take a taxi-roo.  They smell like curry and the wranglers are always rude.

 FUCK PAUL GRAHAM. I was backstage and paul didnt acknowledge not one fucken competitor, and the competitor pays to be in the comp, was there a cash prize?? People paid $25 for pre-judging and $50 for the finals, atleast give the 1st place competitor a bucket of cheap protein to go with that nickel plated trophy..What a fucken tight girl..

Tony Doherty did a awesome job as MC, a fucking class act.

BB in Australaia is light years behind USA.  If it wasnt for Tony DOHERTY most american BB's wouldnt know where Australia was.  The natural supplements are shit etc etc pretty much the same as boxing here also.  I attended a show DOHERTY put on back in 04 and was blown away by the yankee and europian entrants.  I know quite a few who train at his gym, great spot but its in a capital city!!  Bad luck for us hicks out in the country side.  I still remember trying to order Ephedrine in nback in the early to mid 90's, aussie customs, no F(*&^%g way............. :P

Thanks for the vote of confidence. The gym is rocking at the moment, it is now 10 years since I went 24:7 and everyone thought it was stupid.

I have just booked Dennis Wolf for the post Mr O tour, he will be in Melbourne October 11th, Gold Coast October 12th and Sydney 18-19th. My show is the Melbourne one but I will probably Mc the Nationals in Sydney. TD
