Fixing my dust collector

[doug3030]

My dust collector would not go and I could not work out what the problem was.

It turned out to be an easy fix - I stuck a New South Wales State of Origin sticker on it and now it sucks again. :D

Go Queensland

Doug

[AlexS]

Oh dear!:rolleyes:

[rrich]

It took Google to help me figure that one out. LOL

DougI say that's a brave call when you are without Smith/Thurston/Cronk. Don't get cocky just because our team has 4-5 nanoseconds of S-O-O experience between them. :;

Anyway what DOES one call a Cane Toad living in Melbourne? (that's a real question....)

LOST :rolleyes:

[FenceFurniture]

I was thinking more "unfortunate, on several levels", but "lost" certainly fits, and may even be a better fit in 6 weeks time......one never knows.......it might even be a better Fittler.......

Brilliant Doug.
I couldn’t give two hoots about “cross country boxing” aka rugby league EXCEPT when my beloved Queensland are playing & winning State of Origin.
“GO THE MAROONS”
Cheers crowie


PS I’ve given 188 pints of my good maroon blood to the Red Cross and mostly in NSW infecting them for good!! :roll::U

Too right Crowie. In Australia at least any sporting competition at anywhere near the level of State of Origin, it's all about money now. Remember when we grew up in Northgate East all the good footballers at school wanted to grow up to play for Norths? Those days are gone. Now it's all commercial and they get to play for whoever bids for them and pays the most. All that is left where anyone is playing for a team that represents their roots is State of Origin.

Being a Brisbane boy I support the Broncos, but really they weren't even formed until after I had joined the Army and left Brisbane, so it doesn't really mean anything to me. But State of Origin is where it's at.

Now I am in Melbourne I am trying to convince the locals that AFL is just entertainment and NRL is real sport. Storm fans tend to agree but there is no hope for the rest of them.

[crowie]

Sorry about Norths, Doug.
Brothers was my team; just because of the leprechaun mascot.
Mind you I wasn’t much in footy back then either; give me a billy cart & a bike to explore.

[rustynail]

Am I being led to believe that NRL is a real sport when they have those farcical scrums? I think not.

I definitely agree that scrums aren't what they used to be. But hey, its a hell of a lot better than the "balls-up" or whatever they call it that they do in AFL.

And now Billy Slater is on the injured list :oo:

Living a good none flat life[emoji41].

Wednesday night I will be looking at "Woodwork Forums".

[pker]

Cane toads have been chewing on cockroaches for a lot of years. Hopefully there is no change to their diet tonight.:Dpker

[FenceFurniture]

Ahhhh, anybody out there? I can't quite remember the score....did we win by 10 or was it 12....and with two (correctly) disallowed tries at the death


:D


And just because he's got the right colours
:bartmoon:

[FenceFurniture]

Jeeez it's quiet! 40 minutes after the game and nobody talking about it?

I really can't believe you're all still watching the endless replays of all those
NSW TRIES!

[doug3030]

Jeeez it's quiet! 40 minutes after the game and nobody talking about it?

Just because you won the first game of the 2018 series doesn't automatically mean that you don't suck.

Brett, it seems that you think you won a sprint when the rest of the world knows that it was actually a small part of a marathon.

If you have only won one series in 12 years YOU SUCK! Even if you ARE one game in front in the thirteenth series.

How many times in the last 12 years has NSW won the first game and then lost the series? :rolleyes:

[pker]

Good game,it bodes well for the next generation of State Of Origin.:-

[FenceFurniture]

Brett, it seems that you think you won a sprint when the rest of the world knows that it was actually a small part of a marathon.But those constant penetrating runs from all over the place are deeply worrying eh? Got a pretty leaky ship to plug up there.

[KBs PensNmore]

What I'd like to know is WHY they go around kissing one another, and touching each others backsides???? Are they all GAY????
I see it happening in nearly all sports, glad I don't play!!!!

[FenceFurniture]

Jeez this thread has gone so quiet I thought it musta bin closed by the mods :D

Any updates?

[doug3030]

Just so nobody else accuses me of hiding or avoiding the issue I am copying my post from another thread in here. It seems that FenceFurniture was so desperate to gloat he had to chase me all around the board to do it.


I have no problems in talking about footy, Brett

Congratulations to NSW Blues on winning the 2018 series.

The way you are carrying on spreading it all around the board it's obvious that it's been along time between drinks. Savor it while you can.

I hope for the integrity of the competition that there are no irregularities in the win that come to light after the event - like that embarrassing time a few years ago when they later found out that NSW had a drug cheat on the field.

Either way, two wins in 13 years - it might or might not be a turning point but it will be a few seasons before you can claim not to suck based on recent history - and that's only IF you win a few more.

Isn't it spelled MORONS?

[doug3030]

Isn't it spelled MORONS?

Up until now this had been light-hearted banter generally of a humorous nature without anyone resorting to crass insults.

There's a line between having a joke at the performance of a team over a period of time, particularly based upon historical records, and an out and out insult to the intelligence of the members of the opposing team. If you look at the members of the MAROONS past and present, and the Blues as well for that matter, you would find that most are above average intellect and you would be hard pressed to find any of either team that would fall anywhere near the intellect of a moron.

I find your comment to be in extremely bad taste and not in the spirit of the game, this thread or community standards. It is neither humorous, clever or factual.

[rustynail]

It wasn't a comment, it was a question. As an ex rep player myself, I consider it my right to classify footballers as I see fit. We were the True Morons... Played with out pay and took risks far beyond common sense. Life as a cripple has much to be desired. I make no apology for my post. It was not intended as a personal attack on any player and should not be misconstrued as such. Do I have respect for the code? Not really. It is just another form of entertainment. "The spirit of the game"? Im not playing. "Community standards"? What community? " Neither humorous, clever or factual". Most ex footballers, in later life, regret the fact they failed to further their education. Those that did reap the benefits. A footballers career represents, on average, no more than 10% of his life's expectancy. What to do for the next 30 years? It used to be drive a brewery truck or jump on the back of a garbage truck. These days its chill out at the races, get drunk at night clubs, molest young women, bash the Mrs, or urinate in public places. We have come such a long way.
Dont talk to me about the Spirit of the game!

[doug3030]

I make no apology for my post.

And I, for one, was certainly under no illusion that you would. :rolleyes:

[Stewie D]

Bring on game three for a whitewash, or is that a bluewash ???

Stewie

[doug3030]

Sorry Stewie. Queensland still has four whitewashes to New South Wales's three.

Congratulations to the Blues on their series win. But hey, in the last 13 years this is only my second chance to buy some team merchandise at half price. the Blues fans get cheap jerseys nearly every year. :2tsup:
