An Australian ventriloquist is visiting New Zealand and walks into a small village.

He sees a local sitting on his verandah patting his dog.

He figures he'll have a little fun, so he says to the Kiwi, 'G'day Mate. Mind if I talk to your dog?'

Villager: 'The dog doesn't talk, you stupid Aussie.'

Ventriloquist: 'Hello dog, how's it going mate?'

Dog: 'Doin' all right.'

Kiwi: (look of extreme shock)

Ventriloquist: 'Is this man your owner?' (pointing at the villager)

Dog: 'Yep'

Ventriloquist: 'How does he treat you?'

Dog: 'Real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food and sometimes takes me to the park to play.'

Kiwi: (look of utter disbelief)

Ventriloquist: 'Mind if I talk to your horse?'

Kiwi: 'Uh, the horse doesn't talk either ... I think.'

Ventriloquist: 'Hey horse, how's it going?'

Horse: 'Cool'

Kiwi: (absolutely dumbfounded)

Ventriloquist: 'Is this your owner?' (pointing at the villager)

Horse: 'Yep'

Ventriloquist: How does he treat you?

Horse: 'Pretty good, thanks for asking. He rides me regularly, brushes me down often and keeps me in the barn to protect me from the weather.'

Kiwi: (total look of amazement)

Ventriloquist: 'Mind if I talk to your sheep?'

Kiwi: (in a panic) 'The sheep's a liar.'

If a expert witness ie Valentino Rossi 8 X World Champ, in many peoples view the greatest rider of all time, says maybe he (Stoner) is the hardest rival, then us mortals should take what he says on face value.

To do anything else, sets your words against Rossi, which would be plainly foolish

G dude, I agree, at face value. But you know what, you can never take Rossi at face value. Rossi is wise enough to realise Stoner is held in very high regard. Rossi believes Stoner is fast, but Rossi is buttering Stoner up for a big fall I reckon. Leading him into a false sense of security perhaps? And Rossi does say the same thing nearly every race / season about his nearest opponent(s) - how fast they are or that was the hardest race etc etc.

But what do I know..........

Castrol Craig. How right you are!

[y2blade]

another awsome win for casey

12th place starting, to end up 2nd was an amazing achievement for VR today. I stayed up for this race and was not disappointed.
Good win, CS, but just take a look at that points table, wontcha!

Show where his less than cheery personality comes from - his father was...err...a little monosyllabic.

Great to see Hayden shove it to Honda.

It's a real pity about Hayden's tyres. His last few performances have been fantastic.
