Just got this in an e-mail from a mate re. Essendon - cryptic, but interesting:

Don't rule out something big coming out shortly. Heard a LITTLE whisper yesterday and it could be interesting when some documents are tabled about who did what, who procured certain vitamins and who actually financed the whole deal. It really could take its Toll on the club.

That's all I'm saying, but watch this space. Calling it the blackest day in Australian sport may yet be proved an understatement!

Yep, that's exactly what I read into it too. Pretty obvious really.

You have a beautiful mind.

 

[Tibbs]

he stole a phone worth more than $4500? how the hell do you find one of them?...

Did you actually read the article?
"..... stealing laptops, iPads, clothes, hats and a phone worth more than $4500."

 

[Del80659]

Did you actually read the article?
"..... stealing laptops, iPads, clothes, hats and a phone worth more than $4500."

yes, the way I took that was that the last item was worth the money. they should've used the word totalling IMO!!

 

[I Dont Care]

yes, the way I took that was that the last item was worth the money. they should've used the word totalling IMO!!

I would also read it that way

 

[PatientMental]

yes, the way I took that was that the last item was worth the money. they should've used the word totalling IMO!!

Wouldn't that read:

"..... stealing laptops, iPads, clothes, and hats, along with a phone worth more than $4500."

or

"..... stealing laptops, iPads, clothes, hats, and even a phone worth more than $4500."

or

"..... stealing laptops, iPads, clothes, and hats, and a phone worth more than $4500."


All singling out the phone being worth $4500 and not the total worth of the items described as


"..... stealing laptops, iPads, clothes, hats and a phone worth more than $4500."


Unless I'm completely incorrect about this...

 

[Dylan8]

Anyone using their head would figure that it is describing the total value.

 

[Forzaport]

Anyone using their head would figure that it is describing the total value.

And that the journo has shit grammar skills.

 

[I Dont Care]

Maybe the meth head asked for $4500 for the phone

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I wonder what the hat contributed to the $4500? Is it a trick item like in the Price is Right?

 

[Vic_Vinegar]

Did you actually read the article?
"..... stealing laptops, iPads, clothes, hats and a ****ing expensive phone worth more than $4500."

This is the way to do it.

 

[Duck Farmer]

I thought maybe Alexander Graham Bell's phone.

 

[Concussion]

I thought maybe Alexander Graham Bell's phone.

But who did he call?

 

[Byrons Firen]

Bullies in Ballarat equals big news
Kangaroos you blew it
Roosters n Eureka stadium
What more do you want

 

[chiwigi]

You know the thread has descended into Internet hell when the argument of the Oxford comma arises.

 

[Lou Zyffer]

But who did he call?

His wife.

Apparently it was busy though.

 

[PJ Power]

But who did he call?

Chuck Norris

[Byrons Firen]

But who did he call?

His wife, but he only got the answering machine that said
"I'm not answering the phone right now I'm trying to avoid someone
if I don't return the call
its you

151 days 'til our first game.

Clearly 150 odd too long.
