Whacking Permalink Archive 25 January 2005 Sydney University's friendly terrorist Sydney Uni is hosting a conference featuring Red Brigade terrorist Antonio Negri. Scott Campbell has more (scroll down to 20 Jan). What
I'd like to know is, why exactly was this scuzzball given an entry visa?
Niall responds again:
I guess Niall missed the link to his post, with all the nice "context" in Niall's own words and pictures. I'm surprised this
bloke is actually capable of using a web-browser....
Crazy Joe has posted a frightening update to his Nasty Jews Persecute Prince Harry essay.
Scary stuff. What was this "suppression": death threats from hoards of Zionists? portscan attacks from Yiddish Hackers? No, it turns out the terrifying "suppression" Joe refers to was an e-mail which talked about photo copyright.
Joe's courage in the
face of such horrors is truly the stuff of legend.
So sayeth Zoe Williams, in a laughably stupid Guardian piece, in which she argues that buying investment properties is "naked greed":
'No moral justification', apart from providing for your future through a voluntary series of transactions. As a loyal Guardianista one does shudder at the thought...... Williams - of course - blithely dismisses the uncomfortable, simple truth that housing prices are caused by demand for accommodation. No demand, no nasty evil people buying rental properties. What exactly does this bimbo not understand about this? (Scott
Campbell has more on this too)
On the right: I've added a bunch of scooter-related links. On
the left: deleted a few which, a) haven't been updated in ages, b) take
too bloody long to load, c) I simply don't read anymore.
Motorcycle racing: finally, a year that won't suck Testing season has begun in SBK and MotoGP. MotoGP looks as good as ever, but the real excitement is that the World Superbike series is finally going to be worth watching for the first time since the 2000 season. Why? Simple: all the manufacturers are back, and there's a 1000cc limit for both twins and fours. 2003 was a horror year, with only Ducati entering a factory team, and saw Neil Hodgson win a two horse race while all the good riders had fucked off to MotoGP. 2004 was a slight improvement, with a semi-competitive Honda team featuring whizkid Chris Vermeulen, yet the series was still a Ducati benefit. This year, all the manufacturers have factory-backed bikes, we have competitive fours, twins and triples, and all the good riders are back. Check out the lineup
I mean, Yowza. That's four guys who have won GP races, two World Superbike champs, three World Supersport champs, nine who have won world superbike races, one American Superbike champion and bunch of others who have won races in national superbike championships. Talk about a depth of talent! And all on competitive machinery. Every single person on this list has a realistic chance of winning races (yes, even the Petronas guys if it's wet). Championship wise? Here are my five favourites to win the title, in order or likelihood: 1: Chris Vermeulen - nearly did it last year in his rookie year with a brand-new bike, brand new team and no setup data. If he stays injury-free, he's an easy pick for no.1. 2: Troy Corser - it's been nine years since Corser won the title for Ducati, and after two frustrating years developing the underpowered Petronas, Corser has finally scored himself a fast motorcycle again - the Suzuki GSXR1000 with the crack Alstare Corona team. He's been fast in testing so far, yet ever since his disastrous tilt at Grand Prix racing in 1997, he's been hopelessly erratic: sometimes miles faster than everyone, at other times back in the pack, usually blaming the tyres. Corser will need to lift his game, but he's got the machinery, team and talent to do it. 3: Noryuki Haga - like Corser, Nori-chan hasn't been the same since doing the GP thing. Two dreadful years with Aprilia and an erratic year with a possibly quite crappy Ducati may have dulled Nori's edge. Still, the guy is back on an inline-four superbike, and with an extra 250cc this time. If he can get a grip on the bike early on, even Vermeulen may not be able to stop him. 4: James Toseland - the current champ, who impressed me enormously last year with a sensible attitude and disciplined riding. His championship is slightly tainted by the "Ducati advantage" last year, but all that is gone now. He's up against some serious talent on equal machinery. Still, I think the lad has the skill and mental fortitude to defend his title. 5: Regis Laconi is a distant number 5. He's in with a shot, but the bloke gives "inconsistency" a bad name. Regis is essentially a more skilled incarnation of Norick Abe: bloody fast, but often off the boil. I'm putting him on this list because he certainly has the talent to beat these guys, but honestly, I can't see it happening this year. Praise
Jeebus: World Supers is back.
