Why do you keep tagging her? She never posts!

Force of habit

Hey CourtzMajora how's the damage up there, assuming the water levels are starting to subside that is?

We've been damn lucky in town, it's the rural areas from the Fleurieu northwards including the Hills that copped the brunt of it.

Is that a Star Wars pun?

Nah

Just the force.

Yeah it's slowly going down, I think it's not meant to rain tomorrow so fingers crossed!

This was on the way to work this morning, still flowing like this as of lunch time.



And the park around the corner from me, twas a pretty full on night!

No doubt, this state certainly isn't used to the wet few months we've had. The ground just can't take any more water. We've got more rain forecast from Sunday but nothing like what we've had this week.

So sick of the rain!

Yeah looking like 10mm - 20mm Sunday and Monday so hopefully the creeks will have settled a bit.

You do know Essendon is not playing?

One of my pet peeves.

People that wear team gear to games involving other teams. There is no chance of a halftime switch.

Hawthorn supporters are by an absolute mile the most likely to do this.

Maybe over there.

Over here Eagles fans love to wear their gear to Dockers games. They call them the "hawks of the west"

I really don't care. It's just showing support to your team.

 

[Doss]

Stop fighting city hall, Ethan!

 

[Dave]

Hope everything is ok Dave!

Got a text from SES this morning at 2AM telling us to evacuate as their is flooding in our town, lucky it didn't hit us but damn it was scary.

Thanks CM, yes she is ok. She has something called Pericarditis. Spent a couple of hours getting checked and then home with a bunch of anti inflammatory meds.

 

[Dave]

Off to the 'G with my eldest, meeting wifeys uncle who is a dogs fan. Woof.

 

[Harlequin]

At Chadstone and there are a couple of Essendon jumpers being worn round the shopping centre.

Mind you the boys wearing them are under 5

 

[Andronicus]

I really don't care. It's just showing support to your team.

I'd feel a bit like a vegan.

 

[Lore]

I have a member hoodie that I just wear around the place, hard to find hoodies that have a deep enough hood and aren't short in the arms or whatever. I'd never wear it to a game we aren't playing in though.

 

[Phone]

i wouldn't do what ethan did at the parade, but I'm only gonna get pissed at him if he reveals that he was wearing an essendon themed cap.

left hand drivers are a dying breed, think there are only around 20 countries left - mainly british colonies

was listening to a podcast this morning from america and amongst other things they started saying how dumb we all are for driving left, and how it dosent make any sense.

I started to think about why it is that way?

I was assuming it would be a right hand thing - keeping your sword hand free on the horseback or even on chariots in more violent times... and most right sided people prefer to mount a horse from the left - so it all makes sense for me.

bloke at work reckons in France the aristocracy used the left and foced all the peasants to the right - which there was way more of, then the revolution happened and the toffs wanted to not draw attention to them selves - so went right as well...wonder how much of this would be true?

then in the USA they won the war and wanted to remove all signs of great britain so went right - and produced the first mass produced car - and subsequent cars with right hand drive to be exported aroun the world, slowly forcing everyone right.

sounds legit,

fodzilla you are good with history, is there any truths in here?

 

[GUMBLETRON]

I know that you react more quickly to movements or threats from your dominant side, so drive on the left if you're worried about oncoming traffic (or bandits on horses), or on the right if you're worried about rogue pedestrians (or bandits on foot). Preferably on the legal side in whichever country you're in though.

 

[Howard Moon]

Don't the USA peeps need their trigger hand free? Come back to the left !

 

[Doss]

Oh well. We drive on the 'wrong' side, Americans may well elect the biggest nutjob ever as President.

We all have our crosses to bear.

 

[Howard Moon]

Samoa are the only country to have changed from right to left, purely to import cheaper cars from Japan and straya
