R.i.p Peter Brock

It has sort of pissed me off that Thiele's death has been overshadowed so far. So much news about Brock and Irwin, when Thiele has arguably done the most good of them all - he was really commited to education and teaching every young generation to read and write well. Such a shame, I remember reading Storm Boy and seeing the film - both great.

I was worried about John Farnham personally, hopefully ( ) this Thiele guy has made up the 3 though...

haha wouldnt be worried about farnams passing myself...only kidding

yeh thats the way it goes though. Some have been calling Irwin the best representitve that Australia had which isnt exactly true, although he was a good bloke there have been better than him

Yeah, he also, in all truth, wasn't that representative of Australian's - at least in some ways. It is like now people are comparing the death's to JFK's assasination - people are going a bit overboard.

Roy and HG are more so representative of Australians and Australian Culture, they are a couple of the funniest bastards ever
