    Just how high can Sam the Swan fly? | Namoi Valley Independent
    It says 105kg & still growing - I read that as adding bulk not vertically

    Hopefully not horizontally.

    Yes on re-reading I see it is ambiguous. It says he needed to improve his diet to lose fat and I thought that meant he was losing weight. But turning fat into muscle does sometimes lead to weight gain. And his height is said to be 203cm in several places compared with 208cm in this article. So he either grew 5cm during 2013 or else there is a bit of exaggeration.

    It must be how Benny McGlynn feels when he stands next to some of these ruckmen though!

    Looking at nostril hairs would make you get very cranky.

    You can tell Gunnedah is a farming community. The reporter managed to include the word "paddock" in four of the first five paragraphs!
    Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

    Thanks for the info but I don't know if disparagingly referring to his religious beliefs was necessary or relevant.

    That's how McGlynn feels when he stands next to Kieren Jack.
