All Aussie blokes come across as bent: the butch ones grow handlebar moustaches (David Boon, Merv Hughes) and the non-butch get blonde highlights (Michael Clarke, Shane Warne, Jason Donovan).
I saw Thorpe earlier and did think he was rather camp. Maybe his best discipline is the men's breaststroke?
I was sitting in the office yesterday watching the studio coverage and I managed to get consensus among my colleagues that he was far too dramatic with his hand movement to possibly drink from the furry cup.
Thats to cut down on the drink driving as they are raging alkies When I was there there was a sign in the pub carpark saying "Please do not leave your children in the car in the heat when having a drink" I thought it was a funny sign, but my dad said there were several cases of kids being left in the car while the parents get pissed and the kids dying because of the heat the year before
someone in Oz asked me if I wanted a pot of beer. I assumed it was slang for pint so I replied yes. **** me I felt like a ****ing **** drinking beer out of an egg cup. They have "schooners" as well. Plus their pints are only 450ml. Put another shrimp on the barbie mate
"Known for his long-standing interest in fashion, Thorpe serves as an ambassador for Armani, and has his own line of designer jewellery and underwear. Such interests have fuelled frequent speculation that Thorpe might be homosexual; his picture was featured prominently on gay websites. In 2002, Thorpe finally denied this rumour, asserting that he was heterosexual." Hmm, he's heterosexual in the same way Cliff Richard is heterosexual.
I don't believe a word of it. If he's not slipping that Clare Balding a length between broadcasts, I'll be very surprised.
