Banter RDT 172 - Switching to wrestling chat. Not really Full Stop

[Dazzler9]

There’s some real weird cold/flus going around Canberra.

Last night I had the shakes, sweats, and pretty sure I was hallucinating in what little sleep I had.

Then a headache all day today with a sore throat.

A very strange bunch of symptoms.

Have you had Covid?

I hope you're not a young female staffer at parliament house.

There was a Perth band about 25 years ago who loved having lengthy song titles, and one of them was “Wrestling is Real - Seventy Million Americans Can’t Be Wrong”.

Buggered if I can remember their name, though. Anyone know what I’m talking about?

(inb4 Ochre says he never knows what I’m talking about).

I reckon it would be either Love Camp 7 or Jed Whitey. Leave it with me

Love Camp 7! That was the one.

Thank you muchly, that’s been bothering me all day.

Can’t find any reference to the track I was thinking of, but have found tracks called “Your Mother Poses Nude In My Art Class” and “I’d Like To See Him Go Twenty Rounds With Satan”

Yep, from their 'Clean Em All' CD complete with Metallica lettering and piss-take cover art. I still have the CD at home. The music was pretty good but the song titles were top shelf. 'Me Sheila Like to **** to Death Metal' was my personal favourite.

Brilliant, that’s the exact album I was thinking of. Thanks!

Give yourself tomorrow off work, you’ve earned it.

Thank you, whichever lovely moderator that was.

Time to bring out the Grammar Police signal?

GP is the hero we need, not the hero we deserve.

Love Camp 7 aka the Hip-E Club 7

Hip-E Club 7's new album 'De-list Them All' featuring such classics as 'Your Hugh Dixon Poses Nude In My Art Class', 'Chesser Is Real ... How Could 20 Million Big Footy Posters Be Wrong?', 'I Don't Need No Friends 'Cos I Got Jackson Nelson' and 'Watermans Are For Communists'

 

[Truckosaurus]

Surely the plural is Watermen. Let's not incur the wrath of the Grammar Police anymore than we already have.

I'm going to channel his dark spirit for a sec and point out that Waterman is a proper noun.

 

[Dazzler9]

Surely should be Waterperson these days.

Cowabunga dudes and dudettes, I might finally learn to surf! Except it's down in Cockburn

The largest surf park in the southern hemisphere with 150-metre-long waves is to be built in Perth with special government assistance to guide it through the regulatory process.

Purely so Fyfe doesn’t have to travel down to Gracetown any time he wants to catch some waves.

He gets proper noun status after 100 games

I think it's worse, I never noticed it as a kid like I do now.

A few years back (not sure if it's still the same) one of anchor cordial's biggest customers was supposed to be the watercorp. One of my customers used to work at Balcatta site and used to see them unloading pallets of the stuff. He was saying they told him they chuck pineapple cordial in with the chemicals they use to treat the water to mask the taste.
Would also be using a lot more bore/treated waste water/de-sal water than dam water like when we were kids

Back to tech talk - having trouble with the WiFi on my laptop. I know it's not the WiFi itself/router because every other device connected to it is fine. It's been dropping out on my laptop on and off for two weeks. Sometimes it can pick up other signals but not mine. Mostly it can't pick up any. I've tried updating the network adapter but it hasn't fixed it. I have also reset it twice today alone so your smart ass response is pre-empted.

Laptop is a Dell, about 7 years old. I'd assume it was a hardware issue but I can't work out why it sometimes can pick up the neighbours' WiFi but not the one two metres away.

 

[Truckosaurus]

I'm WFH tomorrow and I refuse to go into the office on my day off my WFH day so if I can't get the WiFi working I'll be spending the day sitting on the floor using the world's shortest ethernet cable.
