  2. Well goes to show how polite you guys are here.....Ben has signed on the dotted line for the Perth Demons sir....click bait heading i learned from watching youtube sir...... Do you really think the Mighty Demons of Melbourne would risk all them strapping young men being around the wayward Ben? like Leopards do not shed there spots kind sir, he is a walking time bomb, like i wish the guy the best but his problems are way deeper than most people think...lot of walking time bombs in our suburbs and all it takes is a few stressful situation then its the Russian invasion all over again.... Well im happy for you he who lives out in the sticks that you now have something to look forward too.....nice to have someone in charge that knows what it takes to go somewhere.....we will be tracking the roos...7/8 wins......around 10 to 12th....for me? the great decline......sliding back to obscurity....bunch off talented one hit wonders.....you know songs like Leapy Lees "Little Arrows" OMG what a bad song and use to get flogged to death on pop radio when i was a young fella....and i know all the words too....shocking song...why do i recall the words to all the bad songs? another that is etched into my brain is Peter Sarsted's oh gees i forget the name of it now....goes something like this "where do you go to my lovely when your alone in your bed" so bad.....one mate actually liked it...some slow crappy long winded......i can hear it playing in my mind right now......stuck there forever....and most of the ACDC catalogue you can add.....we did not think much of them before the world took a shine to them...when i say we i mean us Melbourninas who use to go to concerts and the like....the mates and i avoided Nakka daccker like the plague...add Bon Jovey, they sound like the way North played.... Not making any predictions this year on the eve of 2023.....but we know the Eagles dont stay down long, Saints, well im sure Chooks is delighted and lets face it Ross the Boss is no dill,, he wouldn't be going back to them unless there are endless promises to improve the list, but can they be trusted? Swans? ummm history shows there a top 3 side this year, Pies? ummm second year blues anyone? Lions? make or break year, the talent is well.....dont know what all the fuss is about its nice to get 2 low draft picks in but....they got 22 games in front of them and will go missing assuming them step up, no defence is there issue. Gaints and Freo? should merge....Port? back in the mix i thinks...Crows? hard to beat at home..... The Purrs.....on paper.....looking the goods....Again, Blues? expect more G&D from them this year, Bombers.....whos the new coach? Suns? the Dew magic i think close to making the final 9 men...Tigers? yesterday's hero's.....Dogs? gees there kinda there somewhere, Beverage needs too step up this year or he is coaching in the VFL next year. Coaches on tender hooks.....well i think there all pretty safe except for Bev, and of course unless Port are sitting top 4 blow torch Kotch will be out for Kenny, can i add Simon plzzzz????
  3. No one is immortal....dead at 72........a reminder as we get closer....Barry Round passes away... https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/afl-legend-barry-round-passes-away-at-the-age-of-72/news-story/4a0714617e137fc84178b7cdf7f4e7ab one of the last of the lumbering giants.....

  4. And your still with her ? i think she gave you the make up of your living arrangements, one step below a hooker for hire.
  5. Sorry to confuse us all......number 21 Jacob van Rooyen from Claremont WA 19 ys old 193 cm swingman taken with our number one pick last year sir, surprised he didnt get a game last year, was highly rated in the daft, and we all know them west aussie get home sick and wanna go home.... 21 was Steven Feby's number they dont give that one out lightly. Well Swans money going to the coast, like why would you want to live in either Melbourne of Sydney if you dont have too?
  6. Your an old soul.....lost in tradition and loyalty, the only thing that matters Rip is the money on the table....the green crisp 100$ bills in many many neat piles, tax free, the blondes know theres a few flags in Gawn and Grundy starting in 23, not to forget De Roony before he is out of contract and buys a house in Perth.... Well i got a shock when i got back to BKK today, i got a speeding fine....bl;ow me down they have speed cameras in Chiang Rai, clocked doing 101 in a 50 zone...that means all the Thai drivers that flew past me got an invite to the coffers as well.....at least this bill is in partly english not like M-Flow which i have no knowledge of hit me for a 30b fee and fined me 300 casue i didnt know i had incured the charge and didnt pay it in the 2 days grace period....thanks to my condo manager who was partly stumped also but can read Thai we worked out how to pay it from my phone, bless her heart...
  7. Well don't know about the rest of ya but seems our recruiters where pretty jolly over landing 3 talls in the draft, one a key defender the second a key defender turned forward this year, one of them had an injury that put him out for a while making him slip to 14 or something like that they say in the papers...then some long tall bean stalk ex basketballer who there gonna groom....of course they were going to give up the shop for pick four that went to pick 5, never mind...anyway were not likely to see any of them for a while, last years West Aussie Dutchman de rooney or something like that is expected to step on up next season just long enough o make a name for himself before the Eagles come along to bring the poor heart broken home sick kid home.... Noticed the Demons shyed away from selecting any WA kids......one was local the other a SA, well every one wants out of SA dont they? and the bean stalk no idea where he comes form... Talks are well advanced to bring the Swans blonde twins to the G for 2024, we have plenty of first round picks on the table Rip.....and just in time as our aging mid fleet will need to be rebooted... Only 3 months to go....Oh!!!! Demon shelias won the flag men.....stumbled across the game while looking up who was going to be playing that day in the world cup, telling you its looking good that Bingsport for 65US$ a year will stream live all AFL matches....they do NFL, NBL a few other things including golf as well as the round ball game including Aleague....anyway the GFW was not a goal feast, Lions first quarter Demons second quarter then a half of slug feast resembling something like a cross of footy and mud wrestling, some tall blonde pony tail Demon pretty as a picture was highly noticeable in the ruck, not only could she play and take a mark and do some nice ruck work half the crowed would have liked her on there arm.....Eagles have a lot of blondes in there team....i have taken the Women's GF win as a sign of things to come in 2023.....gooooo Rinnie.......
  8. I love they way there trying to beat up the draft on kids we never heard of, like the top 5 might get mentioned in dispatches over the season then thats it....bit like buy a ticket to a new action movie then it turns out to be Battleship or something like that...yes i got dragged to that by a TGF once....what was she thinking? ahhh no words.....just boom boom boom....
  9. Well thats a bit of a joke hey> tactical sup? really, the round ball game has expanded the sup bench from 3 go 5, time we just sat 6 or 7 on the bench and used them as needed..... Demons offer Bombers 3 first round picks for pick 4 in this years draft.....daft for sure...willy ravioli wonkers is alive and well......and i might add just watched head of recruitment for my club on youtube...if hes running the show....gees.......needs a a good tidy up...
  10. North....refuge for sacked coaches......Ratten makes his way to Arden st.... You been busy there Will....getting the blue temple in Chiang Rai decked out in blue and gold....very impressed was i....
  11. Up to 2 year old iPhone sells for around 85% maybe a bit more on FB market place and they sell them, 3 to 4 year old phones are getting 50 to 60% of there new price there, they hold there prices well in AU but trying to sell to a reseller there in business to make money not make you happy, since im here i was happy to take a 50% bath the reason i backed out was i just spent 1.3m on condo renovations, tired of spending and i figured if i go for the 15 Max next year it will be close enough to the 14pro specks now and a lot lighter for me the camera is what im interested in, everything else well im just use to buying the more expensive version but thats about to stop.
  12. Your not going to get a good price for a low end phone even if its a month old, i was going to get around 24,000 to 27,000 on a phone that cost me 53,000 in AU and is only now going on to 10 months old. You need to be realistic, demand for a Pro model is a lot higher than some low spec toy you picked up in the states, and no matter what your selling going to cop a bath if you want to move it fast, law of the universe. Me i would be just a lot happier with a lighter phone and i dont want to put up with tire kickers and a bunch of scammers that now routinely hang around lot of these websites, but plenty of folk watch there pennies and have time or you could have done what i have done and thats to just put up with it for a year or two more then do a change over.
  13. Wow what a few weeks....them criminals are back to work......two weeks is an eternity in football land....Clarko takes over at struggle street....yes Arden St has been renamed Struggle St, the Indians have staged a sit in at the new North Melb station in protest over the alleged shenanigans that went on at Hawk land not to long ago, which brings me to the point why muddy the water if your not going to tip the bucket of poo in? Look im a bit over the natives and there sense of victimisation, look fellas every country in the world has been invaded raped and taken hostage you dont see them Italians and Pommys complain, anyway here is the perfect opportunity to do something about it and they refuse well one has so far refused to be apart of it, and the AFL really i get the point of the lawyer, look the whole thing has been set up like a military style court marshal that has vested interests, what a world we live in....Ukraine thinks there going to win the war when in fact there going to be owing billions for the next 30 generations to the Yanks and Nato, and of course are just raw prawns in the hands of the Yanks and Nato to you know ramp up the cold war again, and i did see somewhere that the Yanks have been the most warmongers on the planet since 1950, well go back to when they invaded Cuba, and Mexico, and its looming again there military double weekends in the NFL now if you think politics and war and football dont match tune in to a NFL game soon....battle fatigues with team logos worn on the side lines for 2 weekends in a row, army or navy marching bands at games.....oh dear...glad they kicked me off my subscription this two weeks were cringing weekends for me... Now i ask why do we need Brodie Grundie? well i been trying to figure that one out, well Max is heading towards the 32 this coming year and Simone may think they will retire him to the forward line as well as a pinch hitter in the ruck for a short spell....this could prolong his life but i feel Big Max's value has always been well on the ball....so your taking away a mobile ruckman and having him sit as a sitting duck up forward, look most clubs that won recent flags didnt have a decent ruckman, though in the case of the most Beloved Demons when Jackson went on to the ball he turned the game on its head...but Jackson is not the Gawn type, Jackson is the mobile tall that can ruck play key position and is essentially a tall midfielder scratch scratch....... The cat is out of the bag, Demons eyeing off a couple of Swans Rip....moving the brown bags off cash north.....one has a similar name to a Cuban singer by the name of Isaac......DElgado....couple of blondes? watch this space........ Its never good when the Eagles are silent.....And everyone thinks the Lions will be a real top club this coming season....no back line no top club, maybe them bludgers in red and blue will do a Tigers this season, maybe, Swans will improve then will be pillaged of there blondes for 2024....North? hahaha....do you really think Clarkson is a good coach? he got lucky, came in at the right time, had a few good ideas but is now a relic like Malthouse living on reputation alone, will fix the joint up into a something like professional outfit then get booted out the door after 5 seasons....Freo? payed to much for Jackson and the fact a lot wanted out says a lot too....Port? yes id back them in....Suns? Dew has been good for them....
  14. Update on the journey to sell my 13 Pro Max.......Apple @ Central world had no 14 pro's in stock (but everyone else has) still i inquired about a trade in if they were available now it wasnt an offensive amount but since id already had done the rounds at MBK my brain quickly shut it down on hearing the amount and if MBK wasnt anywhere i could get to id just take it....was something like 24,000 change over on a 14 Pro 256gig. The best deal if done on the spot @ MBK was 16,000 change over on the 14 pro 256gig brand new, which i thought was pretty good, checked 4 places 2 came in @ 18,000 the third would match the last one 17,000 and tempted me if on the spot possible 16,000.... I wanted a few days to mull it over, weight was the issue but i do like the big screen previous phone was a XR which i took with me and i loved the size of that, suited me very well, the 14 pro matched it bar weight, it is heavier, in the end i decided not to go ahead with it as the weight drop even significant still was a bit on the heavier side, checked out the basic 14 and 14 max, way lighter and i recon since i change my phone every 2 to 3 years i might just stop buying the high end next time and go for the lightest.
  15. Yes well....wish they give you a welcome to Thailand booklet with does and donts once they hand you your Non O. Did my second 90 day last week online to get rejected, turns out after i got a 2000 fine for bing late she tells me online must be by the latest the day before the actual due date other wise you go in in person, the fact i did a report and on time even if rejected didnt mean a thing as i turned up 8 days after the due date even though i got the email 5 days ago...(2 weeks before and 1 week after is the grace they give you but of course they dont make it clear do they?)
  16. Thanks for the response, yes good idea to try Apple but when i popped in 3 weeks ago they didnt have 14 pro stock though several stores in Center World did and i was tempted to just grab one. MBK was a thought too...will check it out this week... And no i dont want to list in any websites here, had enough scam artists when selling up including my car back in AU.
  17. Where in Bkk to sell my iPhone 13 pro Max 256 gig, bought in Australia earlier this year, want to get the 14 pro. Going for the pro over the max as im annoyed with the thing in my pocket, weight issue and yes some may laugh but im over pulling my shorts up all the time...and no i dont wear a belt nor do i want to.. No interested in sticking it in FB or on line sales thingos, depending on how much they shock me im likely to pass it on and just put it down to experiance. Living here now so i will just cop it sweet. Nothing wrong with it, no marks and have about 6 or so covers for it including a wallet type that im yet to use its around 8 months old now.
  18. Gees your picky, your the fool who bought a place with low head room in the stair when most people would have passed on it....
  19. 25mm per inch sir, you can work it out...ps they work in CM here....mm in AU and inches in US and UK if things not changed in recent years..
  20. Love it....welcome...2015? tipping is over for this year....take you 7 years to hit the send button? by the way you wont 3 flags since 2015 mr, i was all a go for your coach when all here were doom and gloom....but since hes now shacked up with one of the young office girls at punt rd...well....were all old fellas here and you know how conservative we can be....anyway stay tuned andy as we will be kicking it off again in march next year...this time dont forget to hit the send button....
  21. Well sir i was a builder in my home country, so i know a few things, so moving the stair forward one step will give you a lowering of your rise X1 if moving it forward by 2 steps it will give you a lowering X2 of your rise. But you need to have a decent landing to begin with or you will create a new problem, ie that is your second floor that your cutting into. You also would be very wise to get a structural engineer to look at what your planning to do he may need to design support for the landing, being concrete floors etc maybe it will be fine then again it may not just depends if its holding anything up other than the stair itself. If your stair is concrete its not a big deal here and they can handle the demolition easily replace with a timber stair for less time spent on site and mess you also will need to extend the balustrade so its not a small job, costly? not by western standards. If you decide to do something about this get someone to design this for you (dont use the builder use an engineer) make sure you tell him exactly what your trying to achieve and get it drawn up, you will be able to tell just from the drawing the head height you can achieve. The next trick is dont skimp on the trades, go to a decent reputable local building company let them do the entire job, believe me you will be banging your head enough with them, depending where your located plenty of farang builders around, trying to sub contract it all out will put you in an early grave, dont use wifes family or friends under any circumstances or you will end up divorced....good luck. Ps, if your stair is timber you wont able to use it again, they maybe able to salvage some sections of it thats about it.
  22. Poor designer should have known better, solution is to cut into second floor void opening by 2 or 3 steps. ( last pick, where you do a left turn second floor level). Means throwing this stair case and putting in a new one, assuming its in timber. big job if its concrete. By cutting the floor back and installing a new stair it will lower and increase head hight in your problem area by about anywhere from 200 to 300 mm....thats around 4 to 8 inches.. Then of course you need to have at least a meter of landing depth on second floor once thats done or you got another problem. If you dont want a mess and dont want to drop another 100,000 learn to duck, after a few bumps and headaches you wont notice anymore.. In the end you would want to protect your investment and have a structural engineer look at it and design if necessary support for the section your cutting out.
  23. Your mistake was to not get out and about and purchase the door you wanted yourself, relying on "them" to "listen" to you (hahaha) get over it, throw it and buy the door yourself, its god dam cheap here for all building works, just been through a total condo refit, they have a low iq for detail cant problems solve dish up what they want, i went through a large company so have some recourse but hey i hit the wall a few times, didnt get what i thought i would in a couple of instances, since i was in the building game back home i know what it costs and it kept me balanced, the other thing here you dont want them to be taking the law into there own hands over your not paying up....swallow your pride educate yourself and supervise every step of the way...
  24. Thank you kind sir.....the ex sex pest mayor of the Melb CBD did mention pulling it down.. ....said the footy ground was blocking million $ views he obviously owned a few West Melb terraces there... He also relocated the Yellow Peril by the river, over the on the other side out of the eye ways near the other bit of silliness the aquarium....the Peril all it needs now is a couple of blue wings to cheer up old Will....
  25. Two clubs that did well out off FA and draft picks....Cats and Demons....why? Its how there clubs are run, now uncle Will....if say Julia Gillard came and offered you a job as CO of her company then John Howard head hunted you which would you choose? Gillard was in charge of a sinking ship everyone wanted a blade in someones back. Johnny ran a tight ship all the murders were hush hush.....so there my friend is how you look at it... You have to move out of 1965 fella...its professional football....loyalty goes by the name of $AU, and winning, put the two together.... Look at the positive side, the entertainment in the off season, i love it, its better than the games...only trouble is trade week should run till xmas....draft should be included...them yanks know how to do it, package it up and keep you on your toes.....like they have the draft first, of course it helps when there college footy gets prime time every game, then Free Agency, then its trading in n out, then cutting the list then clubs picking the eyes out of who got cut, even goes into the season paper for a while...its fun fun fun, you should get a hobby, when i got back from pattaya silly me didnt think id put the net on so soon down there so i left my gaming machine at home.....i played FM for 4.5 solid hrs last night mr, got through almost half a season.... Saints bought in a half dozen scrubbers and one gem a couple of years ago....look at them now....even De Goofy didnt want to go there, and the Saints probably won more wooden spoons in 150 years than Demons Swans and North combined... Suns giving up a very good player and toss in a first rounder to offload him....i mean...like there been dwellers of the cellar since inception....wonder why. You got to move on from Ravioli mr, he isnt that good, comes with issues and well you know its hard to keep the natives focused, like dont get me wrong here im not bing explosive but we could start a Central Australian Football League (CAFL) and they could all go play there...get the sheilas to play there too.....i dont know why they wanna put that tripe on the telly, yes i subscribe to a Bingsport which gets me pretty much all soccer games around the word and NFL and so far sheilas footy afl, NFL and Bing....ummm dont start me....when i payed up to Bing it says my credit card would be charged by so and so, then i get hit with PayPal thingos then feeling like i got scammed checked my bank statement and found the name to be something else...so you do the right thing and stop then cancel your card....turned out to be ok but really plz say what you mean dont change it without telling us, meanwhile second instalment of NFL was coming due so as a model citizen i informed them about my card told them 3 weeks to get issued a new one....they of course couldnt care less and after a few emails cancelled my subscription....i told them i would be sending there future emails to the spam folder and watch soccer for the rest of my life.... Anyway if im in the mood or having a sleepless night i can tune in and watch several games of NFL unfortunately i sleep normal quite well....they dont have the option to watch later its live only, anyway i been able to keep an eye on Newcastle United, and Aleague, Victory of course, which is roughly same time as AFL, The women AFLW is being telecast so im wondering if the regular AFL will....like for 100AU$ a year it could be the go to site for a poor pensioner like me....Anyway.... Anyway why the AFL have put there name to the scrubbers league is beyond me....like a few have got some talent but most are C graders, and i noticed the Eagles are over blessed with mousie blondes in the team with pretty poney tails...a big winner for me.....anyway couldn't get through more than half a quarter likes its a big yawn....
