Interesting to see what you'd do if Gerrard signed for an A League club.

No clue how the Galaxy are getting on... sooooo.

Unless Gerrard signed for Glory. Then I'd go watch, but that would be to watch Gerrard, not Glory.

 

[jod23]

Or Xabi Alonso.

I wonder what Stevie G will do next. By the sounds of things he doesn't enjoy LA that much or America in general. He's done his badges but did say he stI'll wanted to play on. Would blow my load many times if an A League club signed him.

Did you ever watch when Fowler played for Glory?

I didnt. And I love God.

Goes to show how many ****s I give about the A-League haha.

Halfway through Season 3 of The 100, my god it's such a good show. So much more intense and profound than I thought it'd be. It has a rare quality of making the 'bad guys' understandable and relatable. If you can understand why the bad guys do what they do, while not agreeing with it, it makes them far better than cardboard cut out maniacally laughing pastiches you see in some shows.

A-league is nowhere near as bad as people make out. Was talking to Rhys the other day and he thinks the standard is quite high.0

Didnt even know Season 3 was out. Season 1 was alright, got better every episode and season 2 was excellent. Is it on Netflix?

Got the TV for our living room in the apartment yesterday - saved $255 cos it was on sale. Pretty pleased with that!

 

[WealstoneRaider]

All that "on sale" business is just tricks of the trade usually. I think the company I went with for my new windows have had their stuff on "sale" for an eternity. It's all a con

Well, no, not in this case.

It was $1700 about 6 weeks ago. We saw on the website yesterday it was done to $1445. So we saved quite a bit of money. It's a new model too.

**** me that's a lot of cash for a TV. Big league Cruyffy

 

[Cruyff14]

It's cheap considering it's 55".

There are TVs here for 5-6k+.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

I can't be arsed getting a souped up TV - I hardly watch the thing anymore. Spent about £200 earlier this year on one

No better example of this than the 'Persian Rug' sale all those years ago.

Constantly 80% off, all year round.

That's how it is. My Windows have been on special offer for at least six months. ****ing campaigners. The other thing they do, which I expect has happened with Cruyffy's TV, is increase the price for a few weeks then knock it back down to its normal price and claim it's on sale. Never trust the retail market. The only real bargains to be had are in closing down sales

What's this show about?

Earth has been ****ed over by a nuclear war, but a group are living in a space station until it becomes habitable again. The show starts with them sending 100 kids down to the surface to see if it's survivable - the kids were all criminals.

As a result the show starts as a bit of a teen drama which is what jod refers to, but it becomes pretty dark and intense pretty quickly. A lot of pretty complex moral dilemmas.

Possibly true but still pretty easy to save money on goods through negotiations or bundling purchases. Some goods will be on sale for various reasons too. It isn't all a con.

The price will definitely go back up.

Not necessarily. It's dependent on a whole range of things. Without knowing exactly what model etc, it's impossible for me to know of course.

There is no way they keep selling a $1700 TV for $1445. No way.
