17) Price of beer up at the RE. Now $15 for a jug of VB / XXXX / Tooheys. Even the bar staff were apologetic, and telling us it's cheaper down the road at
the Regatta.
18) Plastic cups to serve beer in at a pub... wtf? |

19) Female football commentators. What a dopey idea. It's not Underwoods fault, bc in this PC world (though the TV industry is the last bastion of where
people can say what they think), nobody was able to say, no, woman can't be football commentators..you're no good and sound fuggen awful.
20) People telling other people, you can be whatever you want....when clearly you can't. 21) When people(esp teachers) say "there is no such thing as adumb question". Yes, there is. The one that wastes my time, is evidence somebody has not done any research, or the one that shows a person is clearly unsuitable for their job. I really hate it when people think out loud. I used to love my physics teacher at high school..."read your text book again before you waste our time with that type of question". Right on! as for plastic cups, as soon as the latest craze of glassing dies down, the glass may come back. |

Most commentators are fucking awful. Eddie, Bruce, Dermott, Blight, Watson, Shaw, Walls, Quartermain and a host of others make me want to turn the sound off,
and find the radio call. Which is hard to do when you're watching at 3am, because that's when the game gets shown up here, where they're trying to
grow the game.
There are very few commentators that add to a game.There are very few 'special comments' that actually offer genuine insight (Buckley), as opposed to stuff that is either blindingly obvious (Blight and Walls) and/or flat out wrong/fatuous rubbish (Shaw and Watson, plus Blight and Walls again. When was the last time a goal actually counted double?) and/or more concerned with talking up how great the commentator in question once was (Would that be Blight and Walls again? Yes it would, if Dermott Brereton didn't have the lifetime achievement award already). Same applies to most sports, whether it's cricket, real Rugby, shithouse rugby league, the swimming and athletics stuff we get every 4 years, or the foreign sports I occasionally see like the NFL. All those sports, with the exception of rugby, feature high profile commentators that are mostly really fucking annoying and a detriment to enjoying the coverage. Mark Taylor and Tony Greig for the cricket, Ray Warren and Paul Vautin for the league, and assorted muppets for the seppo sports, with Mike Patrick of ESPN actually able to suck at 3 of the 4 major sports, and he only misses the clean sweep because I've never heard him call Ice Hockey. I can't actually think of one for rugby, Gordon Bray/Phil Kearns etc are actually pretty decent. If someone who's never played footy can make more sense than what we've got currently, I'm all for it. I don't care if they're female, or if they're a talking chimp, or got some semi-comprehensible foreign accent. |

Bruce is techinaclly one of the best commentators on the planet, though like all good things, time takes its toll. I also like Martin Tyler from soccer. Jackie
Stewart is the only person ever to make motor racing sound exciting. Chicks just can't commentate on Aussie Rules, or any other male dominated sport. It
sounds bloody awful (underwood sounded like Kath dayknight reading out a shopping list), simply bc it is not in their DNA. When Sav would unload a torp,
commentators generally wouldn't say "what a big kick", they simply say "phwoarrrr!!!", bc that is the school yard primal instinct. Just
the way it should be. I remember catching the last bits of the 2003 GF on the radio, after watching the first 3 at the ground (guy next to me left 10 mins into
the 2nd!). All the spec comments were blabbering on about Lions "zoning", ruck dominance etc. Rex summed it up best, "....they won bc they
played like Leigh matthews" That's all that need to be said. Any bloke who has played any competive footy knew what he meant. Chicks wouldn't get
it.
anyway fresh off the press: 22) singapore chicks buying usd70 ugg boots from China "in case they ever go anywhere cold". Triangular label looked very much like the made in OZ one, but alas, it said "Australian Style" |

Fuckwits on Australian Idol who think they can sing but in reality sound like a squealing pig being castrated, then when the judges tell them they are shit
promptly have a breakdown on national tv and tell the judges they know fuck all, then their stupid parents who tell them not to worry and encourage them to
continue to waste their miserable lives at something they are shit at.....Wake up you imbeciles!!!!

Yes, yes, I'm sure some really do have hormone problems, but you'd think if, for example, you suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, you've got a family history of diabetes, and you make a bit of a scene when in your bikini at the beach, you might try and take control. You know, rather than come home from your desk job to sit on the internet (desktop computer), with your laptop on your lap playing music, and the tv next to you blaring away the latest episodes of supernatural or some other shit, while eating peanut butter straight from the jar, you might actually cook a healthy meal or take the dogs for a walk, for example.

The cult of death in the western world, were every death is utterly shocking, where the media, celebrties and politicians go into over-drive, where giving
becomes something to big note v doing it because it is right!
Politicians carrying on over disasters when they have a lage % of the blame for it. Having memorial services when the disaster is not even over FFS!! Fires are still burning, Friday is expected to have the potential of 'Black Saturday' and our pollies what to pause to reflect when the job is not over! That SHITS me! |

My wife who squeezes toothpaste from the top of the tube and uses my toothbrush
