    Haven’t seen Radio Shack yet, pretty much every one near me has closed.

     

    Reminds me of the Australian version of Radio Shack. Dick Smith electronics is now purely an online seller rather than a "bricks and mortar" retailer:

    I'll also show the logo of one of the biggest and most spectacular busts in recent Australian retail history:

  2. After 307 games and 4 premierships (2008, 2013, 2014, 2015) in 15 seasons for the Hawthorn Hawks between 2002 and 2016, Sam Mitchell will be playing for the West Coast Eagles in the 2017 Australian Football League season. Another recruit for the West Coast for 2017 is Drew Petrie, who played 316 games in 16 seasons for North Melbourne between 2001 and 2016. This is the first time in AFL history that a club has had two new recruits in the same season who played over 300 games each at another club.

  3. There has been a very ugly feud in the Australian National Rugby League competition this year between Wests Tigers coach Jason Taylor and high profile player Robbie Farah, which resulted this week in Farah being demoted to the NSW Cup team, where he played wearing a jersey which is different from the Tigers NRL jersey:

    After Eric Cantona’s departure from French football in early 1992, he tried out for Sheffield Wednesday by playing in an indoor tournament. Before giving him a contract, Sheffield manager Trevor Francis wanted to see him play on grass and therefore wanted to extend the trial period to an extra week. Cantona refused and left and signed for Leeds United.

    Argentine international Osvaldo Ardiles was contracted to Tottenham Hotspur when the Falklands War between England and Argentina started in 1982.

    He spent some of the 1982-83 season with French side Paris Saint-Germain, playing 14 games before returning to Spurs after the political situation between the two countries had settled down.
