Dream result AB-Lions?

Michael from Pinehaven

Had a one-off dream several years ago when the Lions were touring Australia. I dreamt that the final score of the Lions V Force would be (from memory) 69-17 in favour of the touring Lions (or whatever the score actually was). So I won some money through the TAB.

Had a one-off dream several years ago when the Lions were touring Australia. I dreamt that the final score of the Lions V Force would be (from memory) 69-17 in favour of the touring Lions (or whatever the score actually was). So I won some money through the TAB.
So last evening whilst looking at a sports channel on tv I closed my eyes and thought of the ABs-Lions first test and the score of 14-33 lit up.

Is that going to be tonight's result? It wasn't a dream - just something that became visual in my mind with my eyes closed.

I can't say who was the winner. I hope like hell it's the ABs. But here is the thing - the first score was 14 and being a home game for the ABs, their score comes up first (from left to right)?????????

Chieko from Stokes Valley

One of the threads is coming off on one side and it looks a bit knackerd but as a single matress it's still usable. Not a great condition.

Are you a passionate member of your community and want to make a difference?
Can you actively represent the views of those around you to Council?

If you can answer yes or maybe to these questions, it’s time for you to think about showing your interest in joining one of four new Community Panels throughout the city.

The Panels will be made up of five community members and two local elected councillors and will be in the Northern, Western, Central and Eastern wards.
The Community Panels key responsibilities will be:
a) Representation – discuss, debate and provide feedback to Council on all important local issues, city wide matters of significance, Annual Plans and policy setting.
b) Manage a new Local Community Projects fund ($120,000 per triennium for each Panel).
c) Manage the Community Engagement fund.

We are looking for candidates who live in the Ward they seek to represent or alternatively be able to demonstrate clear connections/commitment to that community; and demonstrate an ability to represent their community both in the community and in formal public settings including Council.

Find out more about the selection process and what the Panel responsibilities are with the link below.
You can also get application forms from our Administration Building at 30 Laings Road, online at or at city libraries.
Applications close on 30 June 2017.
