Official Match Thread Season 39 Round 10 - Roys FFC vs Coney Island Warriors at The Brunswick Junction

[Mobbs]

I had a lot to do with grain back in the heady days of my youth, with casual work in the wool & wheat district mostly revolving around the industry. I learnt some interesting things about the QA on what goes into cereal, for instance!

Also still have scars from run-ins with some very unforgiving steel constructions out in the middle of nowhere. Hmm just checked, one scar seems to have finally disappeared.

From memory, we checked for 3 main criteria when a truckload of wheat showed up - moisture content, weight and foreign objects. Can barely make out the machinery used (though the foreign objects one was definitely a kind of sieve).

For a couple of summers I worked a number of days in one of these ovens.

Talking about the French open, it begins sometime in May.

I'll have to check the exact dates.

Awesome. I'm guessing the French Open is ... well in France? Is this the one called "Roland Garros" or some such? Maybe I do know something about tennis!

Will Daria be competing?

Oh and I found a screeny of an old blank docket from that job too. This was ages ago (1987ish):

Long ago jobs… I stumbled into testing radar guns for the police for a short period. This is what you do after an arts degree. Two things stand out. Unhappy, sweaty supervisor and the guns were very inaccurate!

My favourite summer job as a young fella was running the rides at Adventureworld. Man we got up to some shenanigans!!!

Agreed. Good game, all the best for the rest of the season.

Call the rest of the week off Mobbs, oldmate has it all figured out.

Got the Lotto numbers while you're at it?

New solo Donkey Kong game coming out for the Switch 2, another sign that the Gorillas will win the premiership this season.

 

[jannissary]

they should go back to making donkey kong (and other platformer games) difficult ala celeste. i like seeing people get infuriated at the surgical precision required to do some of the things in those games.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Phils win 5-1. The day is picking up already.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Today is a good day, Liverpool and the Phillies both win

The remastered Crash Bandicott trilogy has made me melt more often than Carlton in the 21st Century

Campaigner of a series of games (although I still love the cute Polar Bear Crash rides)
