    Travel How old is 'too old' to stay in a backpacker hostel?

    Interesting topic. I think the more remote (off the beaten path) you go the older you can be if that makes sense.

    Travel Domestic Travel in AUS

    Stuff I've done in the last 9 months that I'd recommend + Kangaroo Island. Went there (just) before the bushfires. Camping facilities at that time were fantastic. Loved the beach area at the end of the ravine des casoars hike. If they restore the heritage accommodations I'd recommend staying...

    Holding the ball

    Can't help but feel the natural progression of where things are going will be basically if you are tackled with the ball it will be a free kick against you. Essentially leading to soccer with an oval ball. But hey, at least the rule will be easy to understand.....

    Travel EUROPE: Travel Tips & Tricks

    Going to be doing a UK working visa. Aiming to work on the Isle of Skye with my girlfriend, I assume some place with way too many tourists going through but hey we just did 2 years of that in Canada.

    Travel USA travel tips and tricks

    Used this thread back in the day for advice, approx 2 years later should probably (try) contribute something of value lol Did a working visa in Canada, based in Jasper first year Lake Louise second year. Between jobs did a road trip, roughly the "grand circle" and went to Hawaii on the way back...

    Footy fanatic update 2019 july

    When you start the game, you need to right click "run as administrator". Otherwise the lists don't update correctly and the game crashes at the beginning of the 2nd season. Ran into an old bug where every season one or more players contracts don't update or rollover correctly. Think its caused...

    State of Origin AFL

    Travel Japan

    I'm not planning on it as it won't pay off. Well it pays off if I go to Hiroshima by bullet train, but then I'm also cramping all my train travel into a 7 day window because of the consecutive days thing. Was thinking about the Seishun 18 Kippu pass (5 days, non-consecutive, cheap but only slow...

    Travel Japan

    Went and booked my accommodation before venturing into this thread.....I know bad mistake.... Japan is going to be my first Asian destination, previously done mostly places that spoke at least some English (Western Europe) or I had just barely enough French to get by (Morocco). At the moment I...

    Travel Canada, Vancouver, Whistler

    Just thought I'd make a random post if anyone has any advice about doing a working holiday in Canada (Specifically hoping for Banff) ? Is a working visa especially hard to get (Like, should I be paying a company to do it for me) or is it reasonable to do it myself ? Is it car country or is it...

    Melbourne Tigers to re-brand as United

    I remember getting a Victoria Giants poster as a kid and was like "yeah that's my team".... .....Only worked out they folded like 5 years after the event...... Does anyone care enough about the league to breakdown what happened ? I mean I find it interesting but its kind of hard to find much...

    Horrific childhood football memories

    I was either 8 or 9, so it would've been '98 or '99 season. Despite my father being a footy fan (although his team is Adelaide) and living in Melbourne, I had never been to the MCG or even seen a game live. So he took me to one for my birthday - Collingwood vs Western Bulldogs - my first game...

    NBA 2K13

    Is there a way of decreasing the amount of minutes your guy plays in mycareer ? I mean, I'm playing for Boston and they've given me more minutes than Rondo, when my guy is at best a role player. I even had a game where I played about 40 mins for 5 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist...And coach is...

    ADELAIDE POWER

    Port Adelaide Albatrosses. Then they can be the albatossers from Alberton ! I'd like to see them tap into their history more. I know it'd probably be impossible, but if they had an ad like where they have just their famous players sort of "video shopped" together to form a play or something...

    Is 9 teams too many?

    With a 2nd tier competition - could they play (some) games on weekdays ? I mean there are these suburban grounds dotted around Adelaide, so I imagine whoever has the home game it isn't too much of a hassle for their supporters to get to a ground for say a 5-30pm start. If you're playing...

    Rant RE: VFL/AFL

    In time, the distinction will probably be made. If nothing else, it will be because the majority of people will not have been around in the VFL era, if you like. Besides, what records would change if you counted the three major state competitions ? Besides the obvious "Port Adelaide has a...

    The rankings (from best to worst) of the 116 VFL/AFL premiership sides.

    So you've clearly gone to a lot of effort and I'm left wondering something... Hypothetically, if you included say, Port Adelaide's SANFL premiership from 1914, where would you rank that ?

    Adelaide Crowd?

    You all ignore the obvious. The game finished at 11pm. AAMI stadium is located in the middle of *** nowhere. You get home after midnight. A whole bunch of people just said "screw that, I'll watch it on the tele". The crowd suffered because the AFL made the assumption that it was a guaranteed...

    Primus gone.

    "Re-branding" is a fundamentally terrible idea. Port have one advantage as a brand as it stands - their history. Everything else is in favour of the crows. A new brand has absolutely no advantage over the Crows at all. Adelaide "Home Brand". Adelaide "Opposition". Adelaide "other guys". The...
