I grew up in Sydney

I've been in Melbourne 16 years after a 5 year stint in Brisbane.

Lived and breathed League. Grew up in a league mad household. Played it. Was pretty good til I did a knee.

Don't even watch origin now. My love for AFL went way past league pretty quickly. Just have no interest in it now.

League can be good. I heard the Wallabies coach Eddie Jones was trying to recruit and entice league guys to union, as they're more dynamic. Of course everything this side of the world is union. Personally, there's a bit of ritual in it. The 6 nation's comes on at the end of January early Feb, and it's like the whole of Ireland wakes up from its Christmas hangover and maxed out credit card depression. It's a good buzz, and also coincides with the days getting a little brighter (but certainly not warmer) Also helps that Ireland has a fantastic team that are great to watch.
I originally got into it because I can't tolerate soccer (and man did I try, but to me it just lacks energy) I probably know more about the Irish team than the Wallabies, yet...scream for Australia whenever the teams meet, which upsets my wife no end (also part of the fun I guess)

Union was big for a while in the early 2000s here and then pissed away as that John Eales, Gregan, Larkham generation of Wallabies disappeared. That World Cup where Wilkinson kicked a goal late was one of the great matches in Australian sporting history.

I swear I was the only person cheering Australia in that match over here during that time, I was hoarse in the pub...and I cut a lonely figure Everyone was on the Wilkinson bandwagon, which surprised me considering the Irish rivalry (read antipathy) with anything remotely English, but it wasn't about that...it was just everyone was in awe of Wilkinson's talent, and wanted him to get his dues and rewards. He had a bit of a personality cult going on.
In fairness he was a great player, and by all accounts a genuinely lovely bloke.
Not that it made him kicking that last penalty any easier to watch

The wife and I buy each other mother's and Father's Day presents. She asks what I want, ask for whisky. She says which one and I say anything but Laphroig because I've got 2 bottles already.....comes home with Laphroig because she remembered the name. I'm two big glasses in and it's like Aero bar, good in small doses.

Agree, Laphroig is an "occasional" drink. My current favourite is Balvenie Double-Wooded.........can go through a ton of it and keep going....

This is a product being offered on the Temu website and that has appeared as a banner ad. I referred to it a few weeks ago.
To me it looks like a trainer to improve fellatio.
Thoughts?

 

[StFly]

Literally had to Google, it ranges from yep, fellatio and pacifier to actual medical device for jaw realignment.


My first thought was yes, you'll certainly remove your decree and be viewed as nothing but an adult baby if you rocked up to an office with one those things in your mouth.

Second thought was, it's Temu, they probably show it and then ship a potato that's been used and quotes a random German screaming obscenities.

Went to a bar today and I looked at the barman's name tag. It said "God". Does this mean I've found God?

Depends, how were the drinks, watered down?

[Ephemeral Hope]

Was bored so now have tried a bit of gardening. Thought it would be relaxing but there’s the constant worry about too much water not enough what fertiliser to use.

Walking into Bunnings the amount of products is ridiculous

 

[Dard Ball Get]

This will give you Aldi lovers a laugh.

My often voiced dislike for the joint has been exponentially amplified.

My Friday eve sickness was not in fact due to Carlton winning, however more likely - almost certain in fact, due to a bag of mini Dutch pancakes purchased uncharacteristically from said facsimile store by my delightful girlfriend.

Having scoffed a few while I prepared beef soft-tacos for dinner, it did not take long for the beginnings of a disturbed stomach to show themselves.

Fast forward to 4:55am, having been up on the hour every hour to orally purge the horrors within - the worst occurred.
Something I have never done in 34 long years.

I shit the bed. Stupidly, I had allowed myself to doze off only to jolt awake, immediately realising my situation.

So to all you Aldi lovers I say - go **** yourselves, I told you so, and don’t sleep on an upset stomach

Only took a week, but the threat of purging a bucket and contents by literal fire has garnered the desired response of him cleaning his own puke stained clothes and remembering that yes, it happened.

Now, now I can vent that room properly...

Follow Dards advice and seek out literal shit instead of fertaliser, will end up cheaper depending on what farmers and such are near you as does the same thing.

When people get gastroenteritis they often assume that the last meal they ate gave them food poisoning, but often it will be from another meal sometime within the last few days, or from contact with an infected person.

No he might be onto something, i bought a bottle of Whiskey at Aldi, and i was definitely a bit queasy after drinking most of it one night.
