I love the notion that a breakaway league would be all sunshine, lollipops and rainbows. And it would never, ever be susceptible to player indiscretions, clubs circumventing rules and media influence.
Assuming of course this all actually went down as described and not in your head in the form of how you wish you would have reacted later on...

I do that. And plan my nights around it. Be at X station at YY:ZZ minus 5, and then wait an extra 35 minutes for the train that was due at YY:ZZ. In my experience it happens a lot more often than it doesn't, particularly late at night.
I hate public transport. I use it to into the city and enjoy myself, but the trip home usually brings the day/night back down to "average". I hate sitting at Jolimont station, watching the "next train" sign tick down from 24 minutes to 4 minutes, followed by the announcement of "the 10:12 to...
If I'm getting off a train and someone is DESPERATE to get on before I disembark, I exclaim loudly (not shouting in their face), "SORRY, I'LL GET OFF LATER IF YOU LIKE!" coupled with an overly friendly smile.
The reaction about 96%* of the time is they recoil in absolute mortified...
Given I don't have any dumb units on my Facebook feed (because I get rid of them rather than complain about them), my rant is reserved for the Anti-Anti-Facebook crowd.
We get it. You don't have an account. I remember that because you told me last week as well. So rather than sign up for a...
People who take a full trolley load into the self-serve checkouts and clearly have zero idea how to use it. Why you would avoid having someone take 5 minutes to do all the scanning and bagging for you in favour of starring blankly at a screen for 15 minutes while occasionally randomly pawing at...
People who keep a safe braking distance from the car in front of them in the McDonalds drive-thru, forcing you to stay at the cashier window after you have paid, creating a moment of awkward silence between you and the cashier before they just opt to close the window and turn away.
I meant in terms of growing their supporter base. Sure they had a great base to start from with their SANFL fans but they were always going to be limited in their ability to attract more fans because of their association with a club a lot of South Australians hate.
It's like if a Collingwood...
I was having a chat about this last night at a function with family and extras. We were talking about where the clubs will be in 10 years time and how their supporter bases will grow with population growth. Everyone agreed that the existing interstate teams (bar PA), plus Collingwood, Essendon...
I have a broader theory on this one. Anyone who wears t-shirts with printed designs on the back as well as the front (all WWE shirts do) isn't worth talking to.

I last bought one about five years ago and still use it fairly often. Probably more often than I use my GPS. It's handy to have in the car for quick reference such as finding a way back to a major road, or when you hear on the radio a road you normally use is busy/closed.
