Sports Photographer. NSW Far North Coast. Bundjalung Land. Just sport. Lots of it. Talk it, watch it, if I can get my bones moving, I'll play it. Carlton, LFC, Toronto Maple Leafs.
This World Cup shit is infantile, but that's what corruption basically is - sooks getting their way inappropriately. Belgium posted a very well considered letter. FIFA reacted by creating an appeal process, which was not RBFA's intention, and hasn't even followed appeal processes correctly.
About 8 weeks ago I started umpiring AFL. Umpire contact is non-negotiable. Now AFL have ok'ed a melee, including serious umpire contact. In no other footy league in the country is this acceptable. The fact Collingwood avoid these sanctions time after time has become a running joke.
More on social media baiting, Twitch specifically. BIL is a bloke in Brisbane who runs an Australian 'league' that get together fairly frequently. I haven't watched BIL for several days. Maybe flicked through his channel once this week? But apparently I need to race back to save my streak.
I want to reply with "Chem Trail dispenser" but you absolutely 100% know in my rehion that the comment will catch fire and I don't have the time today to doomscroll the hilarious replies.
Want to know what Social Media addiction baiting looks like? Twitch is a service where you watch Gamers. You can earn a 'streak' by watching them, stream after stream. This week, I am getting hammered by "You should watch 'xyx' now to save your streak!".
Oh look, we still pay Kevin Hogan to say dumb predictable shit. Most useless MP ever.
Pretty sure there’s a hashtag for this. As a card carrying umpire it’s fairly easy to say this is the most bullshit I’ve seen on a footy field … this round. #FreeKickHawthorn
Once in every forever, random stuff appearing in my FB timeline is worth seeing.
So this is the world we live in? Appliances Online did a magnificent job delivering to me in rural NSW in 2 days - $free. Then the text message .... "We don't pay our couriers enough. Here's how you can help".
Why did I leave a life of technology? Because the morons in control absolutely shit me. How can a basic online ordering system, for a mouse + 2 peripherals, automagically come up with the delivery fee of ..... $1505. Scorptec ... you're meant to be one of the better "tech" companies. 🤷♂️
Last night I was fortunate to meet the legendary Australian playwright #DavidWilliamson who visited the local Lismore Theatre Company production of his play Family Values. David and refugee advocate Dr Michael Douglas stayed for a lengthy Q&A after the performance. A special night all around.
Wow .. lucky me. These 8 sex bots (and counting) have re-shared my post from about a minute ago .....
RANT TIME (before I pretend to do some work). I do some sim racing. I'm pleased to see a local sim company is having an EOFY sale. Save up to 50%? New wheel - $350 off for PC/Xbox. PS5 $15 off.. New pedals - $499. But it's a sale! Let's see ... oh, $9.02 off - that's 2%. Get out of my Inbox.
So "April Glover - Journalist" lobbed into an FB group that revolves around Pubs, asking loaded questions about what she would like to perceive as bad. She asked a deluded news service gotcha, got dozens or "this is actually how it is" answers. The arrogance of media on full display here.
Did anyone else see this picture pop into their minds-eye when you heard the announcement that we were 'saving money'?
So while I'm in Hard Procrastination mode .... How on earth does this image of a woman in a bikini represent RED ENERGY?? Gutter marketing.
Yesterday I drove through … literally through …. The brightest rainbow I have ever seen. The rainbow ended on my car at one point, so I guess I’m the pot of gold. Don’t @ me.
I was today years old when I discovered De Walt EV chargers were a thing. I use DW tools, but my hammer drill has had to be replaced/serviced twice now. They definitely don't make 'em like they used to. Is a 3rd party charger viable, or a case where a brand is overstepping their value?
Scanning through the De Walt site to see if a yellow vacuum can replace the ever-dying cycle of Dyson shitness while staying on the same battery ecosystem that I'm invested in. This guy must really hate dirt. Dude .... chill!
I set up this shot for the Lismore Theatre Company. Family Values, a play written by legend David Williamson. It was sent to DW himself who provided the following feedback, ... "..... in fact the poster is so good that I printed it out, framed it and it’s hanging above my desk. Best David W".
It's not that I don't enjoy his licks of affection, but I'm pretty sure he was licking his arsehole a few minutes ago.
We’re living in a time when news is made when a journalist decides to oppose his employers propaganda. Not the issue itself. The journalist is now the story. 🤦♂️
