Not much point asking you I suppose.

No. Forward half or back half should be enough for people of intellect and breeding...

Caveat: When I lived in Sydney I chose to follow the Panthers, mostly because they were out in the then boonies with me. The NSW papers wouldn't give so much as a sentence to the then VFL. Much good it did them. More people turn up these days to watch the Swans train as go to a league match[bigrolf][bigrolf]

When I lived in Qld I just ignored Rugby and got the papers mailed up from Melb.[biggrin]

Err, you, IIRC.

Let's not hijack this thread too much, Billy. You, Ian and I have form.

It's a crazy achievement! How they deal with ground movement on something that long is beyond me! :)

Especially when you take the seismic nature of the region into account. It blows my mind.

The Sydney Harbour Tunnel is a series if short prestressed concrete tubes held together with prestressing cables. Only a shortie but you'd imagine that over a long distance such a tunnel would be fairly flexible.

I have been flat out changing wheel bearings and doing other stuff to get ready to head off Bush for a few weeks and I haven't had time to Rummage through the old shed for a new "Wonder" Sorry Guys.
Looks like I will have to pass the Baton to "Sitec" [thumbsupbig]

The SHT is in fact pretty small beer compared to the Burnley Tunnel in Melb, but they both are nothing compared to this one. Then there is Chunnel.

Could someone please have a look down the back Trout's shed. I think he might be stuck in there.

Trout is 1000k's from his shed.
I have been fishing and drinking beer for the last week or so and will be doing it for the next 2 weeks as well.
Someone else will have to "step up" :)
