Hard for the Scorchers to get top 2 now you'd think? Have to win out and hope others lose.

Last nights game stings

It’s a Par-mee though right? Not a Par-mah?

 

[ImperialPurple]

What sort of a knobhead is Marcus Stoinis? He’s always had an ego as big as his chest, but he’s losing the plot with his unwarranted FIGJAM antics

 

[Count Moriarty]

You can take the boy out of Scarborough CC but not the Scarborough CC out of the boy.

If you go to Middlesbrough it's a Parmo. I stick with that around croweaters and vics to play peacemaker

Well being equally and universally hated is an approach, I'll give you that.

They're sitting second with the best net run rate in the competition (by a fair amount btw).

Am I missing something or does that most likely mean win the remaining games and we finish top two?

No team is that consistent so can see us finishing top two even if we drop another game - Must win against the Stars unless they drop a game first though.

Hurricanes are the best side in it, again. Bit of a lottery as to who else gets to qualify for the final. I think perhaps the Scorchers are the best of the lot, although the Sixers have tremendous depth now with the Test players back.

I must say this is a very good logo.

Better then some of the AI shit some NRL teams like Dogs and Broncos have rebranded over this offseason with

Lol, Ryan Hadley just got spanked for 32 in an over, a record for the BBL. Well done Smith but wow that is the worst over I've seen for a while, absolute garbage bowling.

Let's go Seahawks! Half down. LFG

Denver Broncos win 33 - 30 in overtime but quarter back Bo Nix broke a bone in his ankle in overtime

Yeh that was nasty. Can't see them going much further

Hawks belted them in the end. An injury to one of our running backs might hurt us

Tomorrows game is going to be great viewing - forecasted snow storm - 14 degrees

Not sure where to put this so here will do. What’s with the emojis next to thread titles? Where have they come from and what do they mean??? Why are they only on some threads and not others? And why do some threads have multiple emojis? It’s messing with my little neurospicy brain!

It appears to be uh, a feature, introduced by the site upgrades.
From a quick test it is reflecting the reactions on the original post of a thread, which is not exactly helpful.

No doesn’t seem to achieve much.

Non-footy thread, so here goes:

Addams Family > Munsters
I dream of Jeanie > Bewitched
Coke zero > pepsi max
Watching cricket > Watching tennis
Playing tennis > playing cricket
Tests > daylight > T20 > one dayers
Women's cricket to watch = men's cricket, but not footy.
Pineapple on a pizza? Sometimes. Prefer Pineapple by itself
Burger = no tomato, no onion, extra pickles
Coriander tastes like soap.
Shiraz over other booze
Heineken zero my current beer
Intermittent fasting? Yep, love it.
Coffee = black, slice of lemon optional. Afternoon decaf oat milk cappuccino no chocolate powder
Tea never with milk.
Big no to cigarettes & vapes, but yes to cigars.
Dogs over cats, but like most animals anyway.
Can't do audiobooks. Get too distracted, but love to get into a novel.
Bubbles in drinking water? Yes please
Steak rare to medium
Nandos mix hot & BBQ basting, asking for extra basting
Neighbours > home & away only because I was in neighbours once, so I watched that episode. Have not watched home & away.
Favourite travel destinations so far? New Orleans, Rome, Ukrainian Village near Vinnitsya, Boracay, Nepal.
Good American TV > good British TV > bad American TV > most British TV

Yes, I am on holidays & had some time to enjoy thinking of this.
I am certain there will be lots of disagreement, except for Go Freo!!!

Pineapple on a pizza? Sometimes. Prefer Pineapple by itself - allergic when uncooked
Burger = no tomato, no onion, extra pickles
Coriander tastes like soap.
Shiraz over other booze - have given up the booze, but in the past G&T
Heineken zero my current beer
Intermittent fasting? Yep, love it. No opinion
Coffee = black, slice of lemon optional - have given up coffee too, but previously black. YUCK to the slice of lemon. Afternoon decaf oat milk cappuccino no chocolate powder Sounds pretty bloody average at best. I have oat milk on my cereal but NEVER in coffee
Tea never with milk - can do either but prefer splash of cow’s milk
Big no to cigarettes & vapes but yes to cigars.
Dogs over cats, but like most animals anyway. - I have three cats, but do volunteer dog walking for oldies and people with disabilities so probs 50/50
Can't do audiobooks. Get too distracted , but love to get into a novel.
Bubbles in drinking water? Yes please
Steak rare to medium - vegetarian so
Nandos mix hot & BBQ basting, asking for extra basting - as above. Also hate bbq sauce so
Neighbours > home & away only because I was in neighbours once, so I watched that episode. Have not watched home & away. - have watched both at different times in the distant past. Vaguely remember preferring Home and Away, but both pretty average. I know a lot of people who have been involved in Neighbours through my work in the screen industry so from that pov I guess Neighbours just.
Favourite travel destinations so far? New Orleans, Rome, Ukrainian Village near Vinnitsya, Boracay, Nepal. Zagreb, Collioure (France near Spanish border), Coral Bay, Croatian coast.
Good American TV > good British TV > bad American TV > most British TV British crime dramas are my go-to, but good American TV is very good TV. I watch a lot of Aus TV, and the good stuff is damn good.

Big no to cigarettes & vapes but yes to cigars.

My eyes were drawn to the middle of the list immediately. Remindeds me of joke I stole from Mark Dapin years ago as an ex smoker: "Do I miss smoking? Only when I breathe."

26 years since I quit and there are still times I think I could murder a ciggie. Usually when out in the fresh air in some beautiful place

 

[King Huskii]

I've always wanted to try vaping. What's it like?

 

[Taylor]

I have an idea of a coffee brand that has nicotine in it, just to save time for people who miss that.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Er...do you mean Vaping?

...please say yes...

 

[Taylor]

Both are probably better for the person instigating it than those having it forced upon them.
