Roast Grumpy Old Thread- 10k posts of whinging

[Gasometer]

I hate that Roos is coaching another AFL side. Every time there is a headline I get hooked in only to find it is some poxy demon story.

It was worse when he was actually playing.

Back in the old days they just had these things called newspapers and when you turned the sports pages and saw 'Roos plays blinder' it was yeh...nah we got shat on v Swans yesterday....

...the echo of grumpiness from 1996.

I had a dream last night . I was sitting at a picnic table eating when Paul Roos came along and called me out. He was dressed in bright red. I kicked him in the head twice. Been into kick boxing since young. Didn't make me feel better. Still grumpy coz he and his servile apprentices have buggered footy.

Spare a thought for me. Just sat down in the Regent Theatre to see "Cats". Wife and two daughters really wanted to go. I'm a good Dad but jeez I hate musicals. I would rather go to jail*

* = gaol for the grammar nazis.

Is New Years Eve a crock of shit?

or

Is New Years Eve the greatest party of the year?

Well New Years Eve celebrations are probably okay but I will sound like a really grumpy old now. I really query the appropriateness of fireworks at any time. Yes they can be very attractive to watch but when we have so many worthy causes under funded or not funded at all, the waste of money is in my opinion totally unjustifiable. Just one example. We have life saving new cancer treatments, which might save lives, but are unaffordable for most because they are not subsidised by the Federal Government. Does not make sense to me that we blow money up for a few minutes on one night of the year, rather than use that for much more worth causes. Clearly the cost of fireworks is not going to cover the cost of these drugs but ever liitle bit helps in my view.

Problem is dumb ass Local Councils blowing our RATES on fireworks.

I feel sorry for the dogs that go nutz over fireworks.

I used to get hyped up for NYE but have been let down too many times to not get too excited.

Its a tough gig for livestock in both the middle of summer on days like this and the worst days in winter. Providing there is good water and shade though I'd prefer the summer for cattle. To many cattle succumb to the elements in the worst days in winter.

I have one of these. Seriously becomes a champion high-jumper come New Years Eve. And if he can't jump a particular fence, he'll literally try to run through it.

What also gets me about fireworks is the police coming out and giving their usual spiel... Now, I know come the night, they're busy doing other things. But how about the 7-10 days before-hand when the idiots are rehearsing. I mean, how hard can it be? They're really loud & make bright colours. It's illegal! Throw them in a cell until January-2.

This kid is the son of one of my old school mates. You'd know his old man as The Voice of The 'G, SEN radio host Tony Schibeci. He's promised he'll feed his kids properly in future.

I loathe new years. Just going around the sun one more time, no need to celebrate.
