I'm tall. I have a beard and a deep voice. I'd mention that I lift weight
do you mention that you like craft beer, or do people just assume that about you?
Did you just assume my bender ?
this is an underappreciated post people. Quality.

I really had to rack my brains about this one, it took me way longer than it should have. Then again I haven't seen that show for I don't know how long.

I hate when watching rugby, a player scores a try and all the subs swarm in for the group hug...

Any other stoppage, surely that's a penalty.

Hate with an absolute passion..

Gift one ref some testes - have him blow a penalty for too many players in field-of-play, as part of the try. Go back to last stoppage/advantage... ie: no try.
Knock it on its fucking head. -
What you're missing here guys is the theatre. It's bums on seats. It's growing the game.
There's probably a diversity slant to - ALL players MUST be able to celebrate fully together..
Yeah. it's shit.

Makes sense, everyone's pissed.

Are underappreciated post people similar to underappreciated Pole people?
As to a certain someone calling themself "a bender", well, it takes all types.

i know this is the Grumpy old man thread but fuck you are some miserable old fluffybunnies
"i hate it when people are having fun!"

@Kiwiwomble I actually think a pretty big part of the over the top celebrations like that is to rub it in the other teams face. Similar to what James Lowe does for Ireland.

I'm sure a bunch of hobos having it off with eachother on a public footpath are having lots of fun. Doesn't mean I want to see it.

Just on the Orange Goblin. No matter what the outcomes, the way Trump goes about things is disgusting. He is not the manager of the US. He is not a property developer negotiating a deal. He is the leader of his people, his words matter.
The fact that far too many are willing to just wipe away his utterances this week as "of yeah that's just how he does things. And at least he'll get things moving" despite the inflamatory and downright inaccurate very public statements is a sad indictment of how far we have fallen as a society.
Agreed. And to stay with the theme of the last few posts: How many politicians have failed us that Trump was considered a better alternative?
we get the leaders we deserve. The west has become hyper-fixated on the rights of the individual over the good of the collective (and thus the responsibility of the individual). Which leads to "what's in it for me" whether some like that truth or not.
Holy shit people have become fucking entitled and rude. Like blocking the footpath to have a conversation, standing in doorways, staying in the right hand lane. And it's not like this is young people or migrants. It's people around my age who have gotten too accustomed to not being held accountable.
Almost as if being their "true selves" on the internet has them thinking there's no consequences or repercussions in real life.

Muthafucka! that pisses me off. My own friends, or ex-gf - stopping in the middle of the footpath to discuss something, and I have to try to subtly sidle over here to the side, into an alcove, ideally... and they're not getting the hint... W.. T.. A.. F.. ?
I can't guess how many times I've considered how we could enforce sidewalk/pavement rules - similar to the Road-Code.

Families and groups of friends that walk spread across an entire walkway shits me. Happens all the time in Darling Harbour.
