FFS!

Just checked the guide for next Thursday. I thought since BH&G won't be on they might show it live. But noooooooooo, they have to show that sh*t show "The Bounce" at 7.30. WILL THEY EVER SHOW A BLOODY GAME LIVE?!?!
I'll take a guess and say the April 23 game

fwiw. Who cares if it's live or not

stay off bigfooty (yeah I know it's hard for some of you), stay off www.afl.com.au and avoid places like facebook and msn where people may ruin the result for you

I watched the Richmond vs Carlton game on Thursday night and I treated it live. Liked the game. I even resisted the urge to check my dream team
 
Ok, the supporter packs the Advertiser & Sunday Mail were doing. We went into our local newsagency on Monday to get one and they said come back tomorrow, so we asked if we could pay for one now to guarantee that we get one (which we did for something like this last year) and they said don't bother, we have HEAPS, we won't run out. So we go back on Wednesday (didn't even think about on Tuesday haha), they said they're all gone but we'll call you if we get anymore in. Yesterday we get the phone call saying they've got a pack for us.

Today, we go in and tell them that we got a phone call, they go out the back (and are back there for a LONG time) and I said they'll come back out and say they're all gone... They FINALLY come back out with an empty plastic bag and a sympathetic smile on their face. We say...yeah that's empty. They said to put it bluntly, you won't get one and we were like oook. Then they went on to say on Wednesday afternoon one of them went for a drive to Adelaide to 4 different news-agencies collecting ones that those agencies had left over and they brought them back and started giving them to people yesterday, then a couple of people came back and said they didn't get a stubby holder. So yes, not many of the packs they got had stubby holders and we said WE DON'T CARE ABOUT THEM! So they gave us scraps because other people didn't want the other stuff without the stubby holder. So we got 1 cooler bag, 3 "Crows Territory" signs and 2 key rings :thumbsu: (We could only get 1 cooler bag because they had to send the bags back to the Advertiser as "proof" that they didn't have everything in them...)

Quite a lot of effort just to get a stupid supporters pack! Although this stuff is better made than the stuff we got from the actual Club! :p

I wonder if you had gone on the Tuesday if you would have had this problem. Got mine Monday morning, no worries about it. On the tokens, it said that there were only 14,500, which doesn't seem like that many.
 
I signed up for a Paypal account last Monday night so I could get a BF membership. Anyway, I had to use my bank account to sign up and it said to verify my sign up, it would deposit two small amounts in my account, which I would have to type in to Paypal. This was meant to take 3-5 days. Yesterday I got an email saying the deposits have been made, but it still hasn't shown up in my account? My parents said it should take a day to show up, but it still hasn't, so is something wrong or are they just being slow?

You do & I have a facebook status of yours from Thursday to prove it...

"Riggy* just found out tonight's football is on 1 hour delay. That absolutely and utterly sucks. I want footy NOW!" Thurs at 18.02

*I changed your name just in case people on here don't know you're actual name...(I also corrected your spelling of "absolutely")
 
Symesy
My mind changes quite often
that was Thursday, everyone just wanted football
I couldnt care if it was live or not
I just wanted football
so of course my mind was blinded by this desire
and it influenced me to say it (plus the fact that I couldn't beleive 10/1 wasnt showing the game live. They're the reliable free to air station)

by the time Friday came around, I didnt care about whether it was live or not because I have a life unlike some other people here who just want to sit on their arses and watch football

get out!
it's a friday night, have fun! (ok, tough for you being out in the country, but it was directed at the non you, non SAandy's on this board)

dont sit down and waste time watching the idiot box.
 
but it is actually something to do with the tragic events that occured over on the Gold Coast on Friday at the Lifesaving Nationals. So maybe think about others that aren't yourself for a minute.
You think i've only been thinking about myself through that incident?

perhaps you shouldnt jump to conclusions

I knew Saxon. I lived in West Ryde, he was from Denistone (the suburb right next to me), i'm just older than him. He went to the school just down the road from me (he went public, i went private), and I saw him around, first met him in 2001, but didnt actually hang out regularly untill 2005, good friends for 2 years before I came to Adelaide. Grew apart since then, because he wasn't as close as me as others.

But I still have close friends who were also close with him, and it has hit them really hard. Still is (someone said on her status 36 minutes ago that she still misses him [that reminded me about this comment by you, which i just had to come back and clear up])

So don't accuse me of being selfish and not caring about others. Because you don't know me one bit. I've felt sad losing an old friend, and I've been helping other friends that have been hit much harder by this incident than me.
 
The same reason that Riggy and BACCS post their personal crap on Bigfooty I guess.

Yeah, it was personal, and possibly crap, but fair suck o' the sauce bottle - this is the "Random things.. " thread on the "Backyard" sub-board. Nothing that doesn't get carded is out of line here, is it?

She wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts, she's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find that what you're looking for has been here the whole time. If you could see that I'm the one who understands you, been here all along so why can't you see, you belong with me?

/not listening to Taylor Swift, but she's quite amazing :heart::eek:


Anywayyyyy
Just let BACCS and Riggy use bigfooty for their pathetic, childish fight. They're so much like each other but they hate each other, it's quite hard to understand. Although, it'd be good if they'd just get over it and truly ignore each other, but until they grow up, that won't happen.

Umm excuse me, I have in the past, but where have I in this thread to warrant you bringing it up? Please explain, this will be interesting. I have him on ignore FWIW, and have for the past couple of weeks, so not sure why it is being brought up now. And as a person, I am nothing like Riggy Symesy, not sure how you came up with that (seeing as you have my facebook and know what I am like). The only Riggy post I have replied to in a personal manner in the last month, was in this thread on a very touchy subject (the death of Saxon Bird up on the GC, where my family were at the time, so I had a reason to reply).

... Anyway changing topics. I see that the Gold Coast have made a bid for the 2018Commonwealth Games yesterday and may win them today due to no other cities actually bidding. I think the only other interested city was the capital of Nigera, which will probably pull out due to obvious reasons. Pretty sad for Adelaide if the GC can get the Games and we can't, they're population isn't even 500K.

Mike Rann called it a 'B Grade event' which is why Adelaide never bothered bidding for it. Melbourne also got the 2006 games because no one else bidded for them so it's somewhat becoming a common theme.
 
I think it was Foley who called it that, but surely if the new Adel Oval goes ahead then the Games would be great for it. It would also update some of the facilities around the city and be great for Tourism etc.

How long does a platinum membership take to clear? Payed through Paypal today, although have no funds in my account yet so it will just deduct this from my bank account. So yeah, will it show up tomorrow, or when my payment clears?
