That's every shop though.

I understand it's your MO to be gratuitously contrarian on everything, but eBay once upon a time provided the seller with the option of giving negative feedback but took it away.
And I'm just making an observation anyway. I don't like it, but I understand there's pretty much nothing I can do about it other than choose not to use eBay.

No it's not.

Do we really though? Its probably more that I am volume 8 and you're a volume 3 but we're playing the same music.
I dunno, I think you're a lot more 'left' than I am, to a point of ridiculous extremism. Or maybe getting your confused with that other guy with a name that starts with S who said that the Kingsman movie is right wing propaganda and Trump supporters should be killed... yeah I think I am.

I'm centre centre.

Left right feft schmight. I don't pick a side and then let it dictate what my opinions are.

I am a fan of small government, tight borders and can't stand a lot of the absurd attempts at social upheaval going on. Forced gender pronouns? GTFO.

Also don't subscribe to the notion that the environment has to always be prioritised over the economy. I would probably vote Yes for the nuclear waste storage for example.

I also made finbarr blow his lid as I defended Clinton's sanctions against Iraq.

Extreme left my ringa!

That's every shop though.

I'd also quickly add that not "every shop" allows a customer to purchase something and enter into an agreement to pay within a certain time frame, and then simply not pay.

Even the conventional lay-by system requires some financial commitment via a deposit on the buyers part, a deposit they lose if they later choose not to purchase the item. Unless you're Chokito, then you just get stuff put aside for you.

In Chokito's defence at least he'd come good with the cash.

I know this is probably the most unpopular opinion on FigBooty this side of Piston Broke's thoughts on multiculturalism, but I must say that I somewhat miss his habitual/shameless selfie contributions.

I miss the ones taken with Ports players in varying states of undress. However will man-crushes be fulfilled in 2017?

He had some broad drive down from Tarcoola at 3am in order to camp outside the Barry Curtain Memorial Pokie Den and be first cab off the rank when the doors opened.

Guess this is the right thread to dump a random thought.

F**k me dead - just noticed it's coming up on 15 years I've been using this site. That seems like a crazy amount of time.
Don't see you posting much these days old fella :)

Hypothetical - is there ever a justification for turncoating on a team you support? I've always believed there isn't, but being a Knicks supporter and seeing them persistently mismanage and fail at everything they put their hand to has made me question my beliefs. It's all the owner too, and he's never gonna sell the team, so it's pointless to even hope it'll change. Thoughts?

I would totally understand an Essendon fan doing so. That is the clearest justification, they cheated in what some people would see as the worst possible way.

As a Raiders fan also you could have been excused for having those thoughts with them. It probably took Al to die for us to turn it around.

I suggest you continue watching the league as a neutral unless you have an emotional attachment to another team
