    FTA-TV Ads that piss you off (3)

    The atrocious ad where the word "long" is drawn out over 10-12 seconds by being spoken by several people. Also, the appalling ad where the people's ears begin singing.

    Under the system of using your credit card to touch on and off when using public transport, on a tram or train, how would an inspector be able to check whether you have touched on? Surely they would not have a device capable of scanning your bank card, and I would think most people would not...

    Game Day Its been 48 years. Time for a new record.

    We were 12 ahead of North at quarter-time in 2021 and then 38 up at half-time, so we're tracking okay, currently close to being 50 ahead of a team with only one goal.

    Review Oskar Baker wins the game - a f**king hero!!

    Looking at the footage of the final minutes of the game, Walker took his mark with 43 seconds to go with Adelaide still 7 points behind. He then spent 12-13 seconds looking around and summing up his options before deciding to kick the ball. After he kicked it and the goal umpire signalled a...

    For the record, the Oscars were uploaded onto Channel 7 website by late afternoon, making it possible to watch them at a decent hour of the evening. Presumably this will be the case in future years (until YouTube takes over).

    Next Monday would I be able to watch the Oscars in the evening before it begins its night time telecast at 9:10? In other words, does anyone know if the Oscars telecast would have been uploaded to the 7 website soon after it has finished its original broadcast? This would allow me to watch it...

    First Goal, Banner etc comp - v Brions in the Round formerly known as R1

    A late banner entry, "inspired" by the AFL's stupidity in persisting with the name "Opening Round". Also, a lion reference from the past I hope you all like. It's definitely Round One: the AFL can't count; We're up here to beat Brisbane by a large amount. A new year is the time to show the...

    I remember Dennis Cometti commentating one evening during a North Melbourne vs Hawthorn game in 1990. I have always liked the small mix-up in the commentary between Dennis and Ross Glendinning, beginning at the 40:19 mark of this footage. Ross tries three times to make a comment after the piece...
