Banter RDT CXCI - Time for a new RDT thread

[ep2018]

West Coast Fever, finished top of the ladder and won straight through to the Grand Final. Consistently have the biggest crowds all season.

Melbourne Vixens finished 4th and also made the GF.

Guess where the GF is being played?

Fever lost by a point the final is bid on and Melbourne happened to host it this season. Ironically in 2022 the Vixens finished higher than the Fever but the final was held in Perth, the Fever won that game, I guess its fair we got screwed over this time.

Ate a super spicy burger last night, had some reaper hot sauce in it.

It was pretty damn hot but ate it.

Just had an epic toilet sesh 20mins ago at 3.30am.

Fun times.

My daughter has watched Kpop Demon Hunters and become obsessed with Korean culture - wants to learn the language and discover their fashion and history etc. Any recommendations where I could take her for good Korean BBQ?

Oddly enough my wife mentioned that my daughter asked her to put on Kpop demon hunters ln the tv
I've never heard it, but she knew all the songs and apparently all her friends watch it.

Yeah it's crazy popular at the moment, reckon my kids have watched it 10 times collectively.

Watched Flubber with my young bloke yesterday. Pretty cool that movies almost 30 years old can impress him so much. He loved it.

I watch flubber in the mirror everyday.

How do you tell someone like Jimmy Barnes that it's time to quit?

The same way everybody in the past 12 hours has. With an anonymous online post on social media.

Ooh, I'm an influencer!

eh? What's happened to Jimmy Barnes?

My older sister had a raging wide on for him back in the day.

Does anyone here have their mobile coverage on the Optus Network?

Thinking of changing provider but that means going from the Telstra network to Optus and I’m wary of a drop in service reliability

I’m with Optus, never notice any issues but to be fair I very rarely leave the metro area. Don’t know what it’s like in the regions.

I don't have any drop out issues in town. I went to Karijini last year and it's one of the rare spots where Optus has coverage and Telstra doesn't. But otherwise it'll be patchy at best in the regions.

I'm with moose who are an Optus reseller. Don't notice any dropouts at all in the city. I get better reception in my house with Optus than Telstra but that's because the Telstra tower is behind a hill.
Regionally it's not as good as Telstra but you do get some towns that are Optus only and no Telstra so you have a win every now and then.
Most of the bigger towns I haven't had a problem with Optus

 

[Dazzler9]

The major regional centres are generally fine. Albany, Geraldton, Dunsborough, etc. It's woop woop and banjo country that you might struggle.

Opening performance at the Logies last night was... not good, to put it mildly.

Time to lay down his guns?

Time to lay down his guns?

Should have happened in 2017 when this came out and his bizarre cameo (2min 20sec mark)


Became an internet meme when international/younger people were wondering who the **** was the screaming cowboy in the sky

 

[Dazzler9]

Hopefully Jimmy takes the Logies down with him.

Tom Gleeson's epic campaign to get Grant Denyer the Gold Logie, followed the year after by winning it himself after a series of attack ads on his fellow nominees, were the best thing to happen with the Logies in decades. Finally, someone shining a light on how meaningless and stupid they really are.

Those awards nights seem to be really only for the people in the industry, otherwise they're rather cringey stuff.

Yep. It's an industry awards night. Just so happens it's an industry that is televised, so we all get to see it.

Haha yeah I guess I was stating the obvious there - more meant I'm not entirely sure what the viewers get out of them, probably avid TV Week readers.

Back in the day my folks would avoid the radio and news all day, just so they wouldn't hear who won the Oscars and they could watch the whole thing without spoilers.

We're from the same day and that never happened.
