Its the most important news in Australia! You immigrants have no ideas of what is sacred in Australia! Steve Waugh was a Gandi like figure in this country who is very important to Australian culture! You need to study the history books of Australia before you call yourself an Aussie! If you want to be ignorant about Australian culture then go back to the country you came from.

Steve Waugh! Gandhi like figure? are you on drugs??

I can relate to his great batting prowess or captaincy but can't understand the fuss over his "debut" on Dec 26? it's a tad overkill....

Daily Horoscope for May 22

Sagittarius

It's important to be discriminating about what you say and believe today. That's because communications are rather strange, with people saying or doing odd things and plenty of scope for crossed wires. Be very careful if you're attending to important details because for some reason your brain may switch off at the vital moment, leaving you prone to making mistakes or losing track of what you're doing. Try to double-check anything important tomorrow when your brain is back in gear.
