Wasn't Joffa making fun of Buddy's knee injury a few weeks ago on FB? Don't know if we ever found out if it was Joffa or a fake.

 

[Mero]

I've met Joffa a few times and came away disappointed.
I wanted to make fun of the bloke, not like him, or something like that.
I came away really liking the bloke, and reckon he's the most misunderstood, kind hearted bloke in footy.
Just happens that he barracks for the wrong footy team, and is super passionate about it.
He works with the homeless, and raises money every year for a multitude of charities.
Away from the public persona, absolute champion bloke. (Except the Collingwood bit)

I could post this on the Comp/Tech board, but I'd like to hear from you guys

What earphones do you use?
(I'm not indie enough for headphones on public transport/uni )

I ask since I have broken 3 generic iPhone/Pod ones in about 2 years, and I'm willing to splurge a bit more for high-quality/street cred

Also what are people's experiences with asymmetrical J- as opposed to Y-cords... I'm seeing more and more of these, but I'm not sure how they hold up for running etc.

Beats by Dre. Can be expensive, but can pick them up fairly cheap of the net. High quality earphones.

I just use a pair of 15 dollar TDK's I got at JB. Haven't had any problems with them, pretty hardy. For a pair of cheapies they're pretty good.

 

[Willo #6]

I'm pretty similar to TheDoctor, $25 Sony ones from JB. They do the job really well, great sound quality and don't break down like the Apple ones.

 

[Gibbsy]

All depends on the sound quality of the music you're listening to as well. If they're tinny 128kbps MP3's downloaded off god knows what website, they won't sound very good whatever you listen to them with. If they're songs that you've copied from a CD to your computer, it'll obviously be better.

Imo, something you've got to think about before making what could potentially be a big purchase.

Sennheiser PX-100

[Silent Alarm]

I like in ears, because I listen to my ipod only ever when in public. I had some Bang and Olufsen A8's. The sound quality was amazing. The little ear nub can look totally dorky, but you're not going to wear them outside. They're like, $250 I think, but totally worth it.

Currently using some $120 Phillips. Because my B&O's broke, and i'm yet to find a nice replacement.

Senneiser's are fantastic.

The tension is killing me here.

I just wanna scream.

Thanks for the comments fellas - I'm liking the look (and sound ) of these Sennheiser CX300-II's:

Found them on ebay for well below RRP, but surely a case of too good to be true.

No live auctions

Don't get Sennheisers off eBay, most of them are fakes.

Only confirmed out at this point for the GF is Beams for Fasolo. Heck of an experience to play in a GF in your first year.

 

[Willo #6]

Hope he puts on a Cyril Rioli-esque performance

And I hope he doesn't start as sub.

Collingwood could really struggle if Jolly and/or Reid don't pull up either. 3 top class players (2 kpp) will really throw a spanner in the works.
Geelong only really have Menzel and possibly Johnson out. I reckon Stevie J as the sub if he plays. Would be the perfect player to come out in the last qtr and kick 2 or 3 to win the match
My tip is still Geelong anyway, biased or not

 

[PAFC_04]

I hope he doesn't get a touch and Collingwood lose by 120 points, therefore overtaking the record for the biggest losing margain in a GF
Would be the obvious selection for the sub though and I would imagine that is the plan. Should scrap the sub rule for the GF though I reckon.

UP THE CATTERS!!!!!

Really can't wait for Saturday its gonna be awesome...

 

[PAFC_04]

Finished school for the term at 1:00 today. Feels so good knowing I hardly have to do a thing for 2.5 weeks
My holidays will most likely consist of sleep, sexbox (AFL Live ), Premiership Coach on the PC and some serious partying (take whatever you want out if this )

Forgot to mention as well that I have now finally gotten all of my designs and resources off of my old computer and onto this one. I lost access to my other computer soon after I started posting on BigFooty so most of you probably haven't really seen much of my own work I'm still yet to install my photoshop elements on this coomputer, which served as a really useful tool when helping me to create more complex designs on paint. I really have no idea how to do much with it and it would be awesome if someone could eventually teach me how to create whole guernseys on this program, instead of silly old paint. Stay tuned, I might even get around to posting a few of my ideas tonight

 

[Lion Cub 16]

Wish I had another 2 and a half weeks of holidays. Only got a couple of days left then back to work

 

[Omegaville]

Steve Johnson's been passed fit.
When I think of him, I think of the character from Days of our Lives with the same name - the guy with the eye patch.

I still have a week and a bit. Thank god.

You watch Days of our Lives?

Seriously though, he seems good to go by the looks of things and I reckon as usual he should play a pearler. My thoughts are he'll be named as sub, provided he isn't withdrawn

 

[PAFC_04]

Alright guys, finally got all of my 2012 ideas off my old computer and tweaked to perfection (well almost) About to upload them all onto my photobucket account and will upload them all in a thread soon. Will be a fair task, with descriptions/reasons, so I won't be doing it tonight and tomorrow I won't really be home at all. Sunday or Monday hopefully, I look forward to finally showing off my designs It's been too long...

 

[Omegaville]

I did occasionally when I was sick from school, not doing classes at uni, and unemployed.
