I intentionally dislike someone once I find out they went to a private school.

I sent my kids to a private school as the only school in our town was making them dumber.

when I do searches in Excel, sometimes I find it easier to either type out the parameters by the first letters that come into my head, or what feels easiest to type. It also helps break down the search faster than if I were to type LEONARD C

For example, I just did a search for Leonard Cohen and typed:

d coh

Over the years on my Super Nintendo I’ve put it a lot of swear words for names in different games, “****head”, “shit campaigner” etc.

Now as my son goes through the games he is finding them in the leaderboards etc, unfortunately he can read now as well. It’s been hard to explain to him ha ha

Easy. “This was when Dad was that awesome at video games he ran out of names to use“

I'd use it as an educational experience and tell him about the days before home consoles when you had to pay 20c to play and only had three letters to make cuss words from if you made the leader board.

One of the games was 6 letters and “fukhed” was there, real efficiency sort of stuff

Was going to say that, Jeep drivers are definitely flogs and the fact the only person I’ve ever know to own one is the biggest flog known to man just reinforces the point!!!

There must have been a really good player at our footy club with the initials heck

 

[dogs105]

There must have been a really good player at our footy club with the initials damn

Wow. Great use of the swear filter Chief!


Anyway, his first initial was F.

Last name started with a K apparently.

 

[the_interloper]

That's a lot of people to dislike

They hang shit on the private school educated at my gym, I haven’t mentioned I went to one yet ha ha

 

[troybe]

Where’s the line for private? I went to catholic co-ed is that considered private? Or more your Scotch, Hale

Found a series of mysterious posters in my suburb.




Ended up digging into it, and tracing it back to a man on Facebook. Found his phone number, as well as the phone numbers of the alleged perpetrators. The bloke is a nutter, and the alleged perpetrators are crackheads. I've inserted myself into the drama by pretending to be a stand-over man on behalf of the nutjob who put up these posters and demanding thousands of dollars out of them, saying I'm gonna get them, etc.

Take a sip or a full on mouthful of whatever I'm drinking, then swishing it around my mouth (mouthwash style) before swallowing it.

The looks I get when doing it in public!!!

I think my longest was when I went to the cinema once and bought a large Coke. I was silly enough to sit in the chair closest to the wall. About halfway through the movie I was busting but didn't want to disturb everybody so just held it. I think I cried with relief when the movie ended.

These days I'd probably just do it in the cup.

In my early-adult years, I recall two different drinking games called 'Centurion': one was the classic shot of beer every minute for 100 minutes; and the other was drinking 10 beers (think it was meant to be pints, but a schooner equivalent would have probably been acceptable) without 'breaking the seal'. I suppose you could have considered the former to be 'house centurion' and the latter to be 'pub centurion', though it probably should have been called decathlon or something in retrospect.

Anyway, I feel like a mate and I must have set some sort of Commonwealth record for pub centurion/decathlon in the long room at the 2015 World Cup final at the MCG. We staked out a spot at the front of the line before the doors opened, bolted to the Long Room to get a window and spent the entire day there drinking pints, only allowing enough of a break for one of us to get a round, while the other protected our territory. I have no earthly idea how many pints we had, but it had to be more than 10.

The other time I remember was on a Contiki Tour when we stopped in Florence and went to this bar where you could buy beer towers, which I think were 3l from memory and they had those little push down dispensers like they have on the big Gatorade barrels or the cooler jugs that get from Anaconda.

So I think we had two hours to finish a tower, that was the equivalent of about five and a quarter pints, probably more like 110 minutes, once you got served and back to the table. It wasn't David Boon pace, or anything that crazy but you weren't there for a haircut, as they say. My recollection is I was the only one who 'successfully'* completed it (and only just - putting the finishing touches on the last glass as we were getting the final call to get back to the bus) and key to my strategy was "there's no time to visit the gents".

*successfully = without vomiting

To be honest, I was a little bit uncomfortable in my role as something of the default grogmonster on that tour with a pretty tame group and it didn't seem like a huge feat, compared to some of the competition I'd face back home at the time on pub golf days and the like and I was pretty surprised that I was the only one who did it, but yeah I recall I was quite keen for a wee when the bus got back to the hotel.

In Melbourne, it's an oversimplification but (just focusing on boys schools) I'd say it's maybe just the APS/AGS schools (your Scotches, Wesleys, Melbourne Grammars, Careys...I suppose Perth's equivalents are places like Hale, Aquinas, Wesley...) that people might have a bee in their bonnet about and who seem to cultivate and take pride in the perception of elitism and the old school tie.

Speaking as someone who has every intention of giving my children an all-public schooling experience through to year 12, I'd say that if someone puts those schools in the same bucket as an outer-suburban/rural Catholic college because they wear blazers, that's a pretty narrow-minded view of the world.
