Controversy

Seems to me that the best threads are the controversial ones, so I thought that a thread where one can just be controversial might be the go.

O.K, to start the ball rolling;

I reckon Rugby League sucks, and that the State of Origin is merely a manufactured marketing exercise.

Insert opinion here: :)

You won't even get a bite with that one Craig.

How about: Only NSW, WA and Qld should be allowed to play in the first division of the AFL because no Melbourne team is consistently good enough.

I saw a couple of funny ones at work.
Just above the toilet paper in one toilet it said "Engineers Degree's, please take one".
Just above the paper in another toilet where the druck drivers work (400 tonne mining trucks) was written "truck licences, please take one".
Yet another toilet wall had written on it, "please flush twice, it's a long way to the kitchen".

I am a bit worried about you Harry.
In your last two posts you have revealed that you don't drink beer or follow ball sports. :confused: :confused: :confused:

Nah dont worrie mate Im still an aussie, I never got into team type sports when I was younger because I had a temper problem... use to fight too much, once started it was hard for me to stop.
And I dont like beer because after giving up smoking(5yrs ago)I didnt drink for 6mths, tasted a beer and did it taste like ****(still does) its a aquired taste so I prefer drinking spirits(Jacks) or the occasional port/sweet wine because it tastes nice not bitter or acidy... and there's nothing worse than being bloated.
Between working a 48hr week and at least 48hrs OT per month(just did 6 12hr night shifts in a row), gym and a 1hr walk everyday, woodwork, carclub, renovating my house and odd jobs I do for other people... like last week I made a large sign for a coffee shop, I dont really have time to drink anymore I only drink on special occasions nowdays.(lucky I dont play sport eh!)

Hey the best one written on the toilet wall at work was "All t**** over 1kg must be lowered by rope"

I'm not a Triton demonstrator, and I don't think that controversial threads are the best ones.

That ballon is contoversial. When I owned a house in Helensvale (next to that unfortunatley named suburb of "Labrador") the bloody ballon crashed in my backyard!. Champagne, chicken wing and giggling grandmums all a##e over teacup on my back lawn....and I didn't even shoot it down:D

Its a nice view though...from the balloon that is

I dont even like Crownies anymore(was fav), just doesnt go down well no matter what brand, I end up sittin for an hour... tip it out and grab a Jacks"n"coke instead(yum lotsa sugar).
Not everyone likes a beer, a bit like a true reformed smoker smells it a mile away and makes you feel sick(that I know 1st hand).

I thought coopers made beer in adelaide?
13th July 2005, 10:14 AM

I think Crown's are just Foster's (yeck!) in a brown bottle.

I thought that Coopers was from Adelaide also.

It's from Regency Park, wherever that is. Probably Adelaide...

You simply cannot beat the taste of a James Squire Pilsner, Porter or IPA.
